Ric Flair Posted 5 February 2021 Author Share Posted 5 February 2021 Someone else mentioned him a few weeks ago, but Alex Mighten at Forest ought to be a serious target. They are crap and need money and he has so much potential. He is very raw and there's a few things I don't like, such as always looking for a foul but he is explosive. Got a touch of the Adama Traore's about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vindaloo FOX Posted 5 February 2021 Share Posted 5 February 2021 (edited) Got a year left of his contract, doing very well in a poor side, 2 caps for Italy 2 goals also. Should go after him in the summer. Edited 5 February 2021 by Vindaloo FOX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 6 February 2021 Author Share Posted 6 February 2021 There is some very pleasant players whos contracts are up this summer. We don't even need to spend anything on transfer fees if we play our cards right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can see that being the bulk of our business and if we are going on previous links then I think we will sign Thauvin and Otavio. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/statistik/endendevertraege Edited 6 February 2021 by les-tah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaio Jorge's contract is up in December so they'll want to cash in this summer, Marcos Paulo at Fluminese was very highly rated a couple of years ago too.

There isn’t really a pathway into Man City’s first team. They want results immediately and don’t have the patience to develop players for years like they have with Foden.. they much simply can use oil money and get world class players who are ready made to hit the ground running.

Fox85 Posted 6 February 2021 Share Posted 6 February 2021 (edited) Come the summer I think we should put a 65m bid in for ward prowse and ings for a double swoop.

Unless we sell a Soyuncu or a Fofana there’s no way we’re spending £65m next summer! There’s a pandemic on, & a humdinger of a recession to follow it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing about joining Man City though is he will likely get farmed out to one of the other clubs they own, where he will at least get first team football Until recently its not something you can really say for youngsters about joining us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 6 February 2021 Share Posted 6 February 2021 On 04/02/2021 at 00:37, Leicester_Loyal said: If Brentford don't get promoted I'd enquire about Ivan Toney if he carries on this form, I watched him tonight and he looked good. I thought the same about Ollie Watkins and still reckon he would have been a great signing. Toney has 20 goals and 6 assists in 26 games, unreal. For reference, last year Watkins got 25 goals and 3 assists in 46 games. Toney scored another 2 and got an assist today. 22 goals and 7 assists in 27 games.

Ahhh gotcha so basically all football funding stops because of this. Shame even if we get champions league football going by your logic we won't receive any funding from our league position or, European money this season and potentially champs league money.

But I guess Mr Negative we won't get **** all Love your unchanged-by-life blue-tinted view of things! But in case you hadn’t noticed Barcelona & Real Madrid are practically broke, French football is on the brink, and Brighton & Southampton have reported £70m+ losses. Our average net spend since promotion is under £20m. I’d be surprised to see it more than double. If we can get Thauvin & Otavio for nothing & Tarkowski for under £20m I’d be a happy fox. If we can get a striker too for similar (Edouard, £15m?) I genuinely think that’s probably our limit. We’ll get something for Ghezzal I suspect, and we’ll save Big Wes & Fuchs’ wages. Probably we’d lose Jakupovic & maybe Benkovic too. We’ll need to balance the books, and it’s not living in the real world to suggest otherwise. IMO! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayfox26 Posted 6 February 2021 Share Posted 6 February 2021 Would love us to sign Ward-Prowse but would imagine Southampton would want alot for him and once Praet is back plus having Youri and Madders, not sure we would need him. His set pieces are so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see thauvin and Otavio on free then the only spendature I think would be Edouard £15-20 Million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
