Scotch Posted 5 August 2020 Share Posted 5 August 2020 19 minutes ago, Steve Earle said: But do we want someone half as good as Edouard? It will come down to who is available for what price really.... If we are able to get French Eddy for £35m then it will have a direct effect on who else we sign. So if Edouard did come in, I would expect maybe a Lascelles/Rugani type of signing at CB. Similarly, if we end up getting someone like Demiral at CB then we will prob end up with someone like Watkins or that Kosovoan up front..... Not sure which of those options I would prefer tbh.

Here’s a 26 man squad, admittedly without me bothering to look up the rules around home grown players (which might mean egs Choudhury & Thomas don’t count?) - I could be persuaded to leave Wes in charge of sounds & patience? It looks seriously good to me, and improves us in all the areas needed... GK Schmeichel Ward Jakupovic FB Ricardo Justin Chilwell Fuchs CB Evans Soyuncu Demiral Benkovic Morgan CM Ndidi Mendy Choudhury AM Maddison Tielemans Praet Eze WF Barnes Zaha Trincão Albrighton ST Vardy Edouard Perez Spend: Demiral £30m Eze £16m Zaha £30m Trincão £7.5m (first year loan) Edouard £30m Total £113.5m Sales: Nacho £22.5m Gray £17.5m Slimami £10m Ghezzal £5m Amartey £3m Diabate £0.5m Silva £0 James £0 King £0 Total £58.5m Net spend £55m. Which isn’t much if you say it quickly! And amounts to our average annual spend topped up with some of the Maguire money. Simple.

AKCJ Posted 5 August 2020 Share Posted 5 August 2020 Don't see much difference between Watkins as the likes of Andre Gray or Che Adams to be honest. it's the two that set the huge amount of chances for him that excite me. Either (or both) Benrahma or Mbeumo should be targeted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollyfox Posted 5 August 2020 Share Posted 5 August 2020 Depending on cost and fitness, would Danny Welbeck be a decent shout? Experienced and played at all levels, only 29 and may well want a quick passage back to the prem. Pretty quick and good in the air as well. Just a thought of a quality forward that might help Vards, that might come at a reasonable price,so we have funds for other areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AS78UK Posted 5 August 2020 Share Posted 5 August 2020 Watkins at £18m is a no brainer, we should be all over it, and if we are serious, I cant see how we wouldn't be one of the favourites for him.

Mitrovic didn't set the world on fire in the PL either and is the complete wrong character for the squad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
