Wakeyfox Posted 26 June 2020 Share Posted 26 June 2020 6 minutes ago, TJB-fox said: Just a gentle reminder that wingers like Cavaleiro, Knockaert, Bolasie, Grosicki (off top of my head( to name a few have looked quality in the championship over the past few years. The step up from that, to where we are and where we want to be is massive. Very true, but how can you tell how they will do before you buy them? Obviously there is so much work done in the background regarding their mentality, temperament etc... But I think he looks pretty special and if we don't sign him someone else will. I'm sure the recruitment team have a better idea than you or me (hopefully, unless the scouts just sit back with a cigar and read this forum!!) but he's the kind of player to get fans off their seats (anyone remember that, seems so long ago). Better than Kevin or Gray as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casablancas Posted 26 June 2020 Share Posted 26 June 2020 Tbh I’d throw 45 million at Brentford for their front three .. Watkins, Mbuemo and Benhrahma could be here for years. Also think they’d all make the cut. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine we would be looking at £60m+ for the three though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young, pacey, tricksy and all for our style and mould as well as the club philosophy. We aren’t gonna be going out there and getting established champions league players for 40 - 50 million. Also this is a who do you want thread I’d like them. Also Brentford’s scouts and director of football would be helpful. That doesn’t mean I want Rudkin our haha.

I would. 50 million 😂 double that and then some and we’d probably only just start discussions with Man City. He’s been one of their best players this season, and he wouldn’t come back here anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF we make the Champs league we should be setting our sights slightly higher. 6 goals and 2 assist in 31 games for the worse team in the league is pretty good, very young and has plenty of time to develop. We need to take good players, develop them and sale them on, to keep developing as a club, Dortmund style in my view hoover up young talent and give them a platform to shine. It you look at PL finances is the only way we can complete with the big clubs. Edited 27 June 2020 by coolhandfox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolhandfox Posted 27 June 2020 Share Posted 27 June 2020 Just now, UniFox21 said: Think that sums it up well, we've completely lost our way lately I agree, in our winning run we were dynamic, fast on the break and ruthless a blend of possession, high pressing and lighting counter attacks. Then Liverpool, Man City games blow away the confidence and swagger we had, coupled with the injuries and loss of form of key players Vardy, Ndidi, Maddison and Tielimans and teams working us out. I look at the impact Bruno Fernandes has had at United and can't help but think we missed a trick in the January window not bring in an extra attacking player to give us a boost. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbluefox Posted 27 June 2020 Share Posted 27 June 2020 At the moment we are too ponderous in our build up. Passing the ball around at the back, continually moving the ball back keeps possession but we need to move the ball forward as soon as we can before the opposition has had time to get their shape. I thought we had players who could do that, and they did earlier in the season but just lately I can almost predict what we are going to do with the ball and I could predict the outcome as we come up against a brick wall. If we are going to buy we need someone who can carry the ball forward, take players out of the equation and provide scoring opportunities for themselves or our forwards. We need someone who creates havoc and mayhem in defences. To be honest I'm not sure who that would be but you don't need to look too far to see players in other teams who can do that.
