Nick 8,688 Posted 8 May 2020 Report Share Posted 8 May 2020 I do wonder if we’ll try and get a marquee proven Prem player signing this window: I’d still be keen on us looking at the likes of Ryan Fraser from Bournemouth. Only 26 but can’t decide if he’s way better than what we have or if we should be looking for something different - I do fear that if we signed him he’d end up as a sub here as I’m unsure if he’d start week in week out. Willian I expect to go get a payday with Spurs or a Spanish club but even though he’s 31 - what a player but doesn’t really fit our business model. Coutinho - would love him here. Real statement of intent. Be amazing if the club found a way but doubtful. Zaha - don’t think he’s a Rogers player but wouldn’t be upset to see him sign! Llallana - still got stuff to offer and a solid proven player. Could be a transitional rock for us whilst we incrementally improve the squad to regular top 6 contention. Any others people reckon we might benefit from or be taking a look at that may be available? Link to post Share on other sites

Filip Kostic from Frankfurt, would give us a quick left footed winger option, someone that can fill in left back too if needed. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Miquel The Work Geordie 12,104 Posted 8 May 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted 8 May 2020 Could just be personal opinion and something I might not see, but Ryan Fraser would be wholly underwhelming for me. I don't think he's better than Barnes, I'd probably put him on par with Ayoze - decent enough by all means, but not quite that top bracket. If we get a winger in they need to be the absolute bollocks and Fraser reeks of squad-padding for me. It's a bloody tough gig replacing Riyad but the closer we can get the better. 13 Link to post Share on other sites

I agree that Fraser isn't the ideal package but he's still an upgrade. Gray plus a bit of cash would be worth doing IMO. Mikel Oyarzabal would be brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites

Have you read this topic from the opening post or did you just post to start a discussion? ...genuine question!!!!! Yeah I know the topic from the start. I hope we don’t sign the Algerian Bananarama onward. But yes I wanted to reignite the topic and generate some discussion and find out anything I’ve missed as some peeps are furloughed and have been trawling the sites for links (I’m still working) and some of the previous players discussed in this thread are perhaps no longer options, plus there seems to be a few threads on individual transfer reports and links... I also very much like to see an updated Ric list a few times a year as he tends to know a bit more about World football than I! I also like the transfer talk excitement even though it usually comes to squat. I’m not bonkers like @SheppyFox or anything - I don’t need a padded room on deadline day. I hope that explains/accounts for my post! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Benrahma is another 10 and we have more than enough cover in that area, if he could function naturally on the left then yes with Barnes switched to the right. As for @sheepyfox, so long as he has a regular supply of Zantac.... then all good. Link to post Share on other sites

My point is that if Fraser is out of contract he can't be used in any negotiations for Gray going the other way. Selling Gray to them would be a separate transaction if they wanted to sign him.
