Left footed centre back Paid £14.5m for him last summer so if buying they would want at least £11m for him

Joining Marseille for €26m + €5m

Looks like another deal that is going to suddenly appear and then be done very quickly

No links but I think he would be perfect for us if Cooper wants us to have a very attacking left back Apparently he only has 1 year left on his contract so I don’t think he would be too expensive

Doughty

I think it is instead of Zaha

Can’t see us getting him as well as Hlozek and Ioannidis I think we are going for Hlozek instead of Zaha

I don’t think Cooper would use Ricardo as the right centre back of the back 3 or in a 2 with Winks so unfortunately I expect he would be on the bench Personally I don’t think I would start Buonanotte ahead of any of those other forwards

If Cooper wants to carry on his tactic with the left back bombing on, get Hlozek and Ioannidis in, then get Doughty Then when attacking our team would be Hermansen Justin, Faes, Okoli Winks Ndidi Fatawu Mavididi Doughty Hlozek Ioannidis Hate the back 3 but can’t see us signing anymore defenders Get Keita in to replace Wilf as well

Started just under half of the games he has played in for Leverkusen since he joined and looks to still have done pretty well 22/23: 44 appearances - 24 starts 1,998 minutes played - 22.2 90s 7 goals and 6 assists Goal contribution every 154 minutes 23/24: 36 appearances - 11 starts 1,011 minutes played - 11.2 90s 7 goals and 5 assists Goal contribution every 84 minutes Total: 80 appearances - 35 starts 3,009 minutes played - 33.4 90s 14 goals and 11 assists Goal contribution every 120 minutes Majority of his appearances have been as a striker:

Then get Mandela Keita in to replace Wilf and I would be very happy with that 6 (less said about the back 4 the better)

Of the 2 I would think it would make more sense that Hlozek would be instead of Zaha rather than Ioannidis

Hlozek instead of Zaha or Ionnidis?

Yeah and has also played quite a lot on the right wing, so could be first choice back up to replace Fatawu (rather than BDR)

Can't rely on just Mav all season though, he had periods last season where he kind of disappeared in games and it wouldn't have helped that he had no one applying pressure on him to take his spot Mav and Zaha for the season is brilliant depth

Only Scouting Report on FBref is based on his performances in the Europa League last season: When you compare him with some of the other strikers in the Europa League last season:

On the M1 back home after going to Lens this weekend, someone in a Tesla in the far right lane doing 70, sat really far forward basically hunched over the steering wheel Took being undertaken by about 4 or 5 cars until they moved over

I think there is a good chance we see the first bit if the deals come off, except with Mav in CAM and Zaha LW For whatever reason Cooper doesn’t seem to want to use Ricardo next Winks unfortunately

Hopefully we get another AM, whilst he looks decent I personally don’t think he is good enough yet to be that “big star creator” we need from an AM in out side

Yeah that as well haha

Even when he eventually brought Cannon on he then had Mavididi on the right and McAteer on the left… the wrong way around Could see Mavididi looked annoyed when told to go over to the right

Even when we lost 4-0 to Liverpool in pre-season last summer you could still see how we wanted to play and actually looked like we would get chances to score Now it just seems to be smash it long, not even aim into the channels or anything, and hope something works out

They at least actually spent some money and got what looked like some decent players in - Archer, Hamer, Souza, McAtee

I can kind of understand it at the time Daka was possibly on his way to Bournemouth and we would have been losing Iheanacho at the end of December to AFCON Probably should’ve waited for Daka to actually go though
