49er Posted 3 August 2019 Share Posted 3 August 2019 Imagine if Top says to Brendan - ' You agreed to become our Manager because we sold you our vision for making a substantial push in the Premier League towards the top four. This would necessitate a significant investment in our team. In keeping with our promise, the £80m we have just received for Harry is all your's to spend before transfer deadline day. We want a marquee signing to show that we mean business.Over to you Brendan'. If you were Brendan, who would you splash the cash on, taking into account Top's requirement for this to be a 'marquee' signing that would smash our transfer record.

UniFox21 Posted 3 August 2019 Share Posted 3 August 2019 Marquee signing isn't always what a club needs; id rather sign lower key players, just as talented but without the ego and media circus to follow. I'd look at signing a player like Fraser or Suso, attacking wingers who could add an extra dimension to our team. I'd then push to reinforce our centre midfield roles with a player, Suso would also fill this role. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arriba Los Zorros Posted 3 August 2019 Share Posted 3 August 2019 (edited) If we're talking marquee signings we could make with £80m I'd be going after Gareth Bale.That's a position we could strengthen and would send shockwaves through the football world.

martyn Posted 3 August 2019 Share Posted 3 August 2019 21 minutes ago, Heymister2015 said: Hakim Ziyech! Great player and would be delighted if he did sign (pretty unlikely) , but think I'd prefer us to go for a more direct winger with pace. We already have both Maddison and Tielemans who can play the slide rule passes like Ziyech can. Someone with a bit of running power with a threat in behind might mesh better with the way our team is put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that would be madness? In my opinion he's the next best defender outside the top 6 after Maguire. He is on the shorter side but theres a bit more to heading than just height. He's quick and surprisingly strong for his build and the numbers don't lie, he gets about... I think he's a very good defender in a very poor Bournemouth defense. Stick him next to Evans with Chilwell and Pereira, he'd boss it. There's a lot here but I think the key one to pick out is 0 errors leading to goals. Even Van Dijk has one of them and he's ment to be the best defender in the world! It doesn't matter how good you are, no one can be a one man defense.
