Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

I suspect you're right. However, that would mean that we were using one of our 'five big signings' on a position that isn't one of our five biggest priorities. See how it pans out I guess.

 

Here you go @Southern A

 

I am staying calm about Lauriente until a story about the deal more advanced comes about

 

I believe we will be pleasantly surprised just how much we do spend now and next January.

 

You’re trying to break the page again

 

Aye. Some talent that lad. Seems to get better all the time.

 

Good lord, he’s reading like an Enzo type signing here like

 

He’s scored about 40 goals in his career coming up to the age of 27 and half of them came in Serie B this season. Could be decent but not really the massive upgrade to the starting Xl I’m talking about and realistically he’s probably playing at his best or close enough.

 

Transfermarkt doesn't know the concept of a wing back so LM is just LWB in a 5

 

I think LM is a position we massively need to strengthen, I love Mundle but he missed loads last season and it almost cost us.

We need quality additions to the squad and this lad is quality, has the pace and directness you need in the PL

 

Is he as big a ‘Donkey’ as Mayenda?

 

Think we could say we need additions all over, but LW doesn't break into my top 5 though.

 

Serie B - Sassuolo

23G/A's in 33 games in 24/25

Serie A - Sassuolo

9G/A’s in 37 games in 23/24
13G/A’s in 28 games in 22/23

Ligue 1 - Lorient

8 G/A's in 35 games in 21/22
8 G/A's in 29 games in 20/21

I think those are some good stats for a LW and we will be basing the signing off his profile and abilities as well as stats, he's rapid, a good ball carrier and is really good on the counter attack.

Linked with some big clubs over the last two seasons - Wolves, Marseille, Roma, Lyon and more

 

Aye, admittedly I don’t know much about him and the signs on social media seem good so i hope I’m wrong and he’s better than I think.. but when I look at players contribution stats I can’t help but think of Roberts and how hopeless he is; yet on paper if you throw in assists he probably doesn’t look as bad as what he has been. We need more goals from our wingers this season.

 

This is true, although Lauriente was one of the best wingers in serie A at 24 but sticking at a horrible sassuolo team hasn't allowed him to play at his best. I think he's definitely an upgrade.

 

Theres also no room for sentimentality.

 

I don't think we need a top 5 of positions to strengthen, I think the key is strengthen across the whole squad

I think this lad improves us, of course I don't want loads of the budget being spent on 1 player but we don't know what the budget is and the club will know what they need to do

This boy is rapid, he is technically good and his movement is very good - he will improve the squad immediately and that's a good thing for me
