Daryl Dike who’s currently on loan at Barnsley looks like an absolute specimen! He’s having a pretty big impact too, I’m wondering if it is worth looking at the MLS? They have some pure athletes in that league, Dike for example looks like he can play too, at 20 he’s got time to adjust and improve. Certainly would be a decent addition to a squad in my opinion to help develop into a top player. 

I’m strictly against signing anyone called Daryl. Shocking name

You'd think we'd be able to offer more than 60k/w. Same for Sevilla too.

For a free agent who we would be spending 30 million+ if buying him for a fee I would expect us to be pushing double that if we need to. It's still excellent value for money.

[NewquayFox]

Think he cost Chelsea £50+ million, might be out of our price range to buy, would be a great loan signing...

60k/Y? Bargain. You can lube me up if that's the deal...

...if that is £60k per year it is a bargain!!!

 Now if it was £60k a week, that's not too shabby either.

[st albans fox]

The salary isn’t that relevant for a free agent - the market will dictate what he can ask for 

 

the s/o fee for him and his rep is what counts ......

Rumours that Saul from Atlético is on the move. Maybe a tad ambitious but would give us a very high quality experienced head in midfield.

Quoted by some sources as leaving for 30 million euros or so, so shouldn't be a problem financially. Just a question whether we could persuade him or not, which yeah probably not but one can dream. 

[Deeg67]

30 million is not even close.  And he can pick and choose where he goes, if he goes - he's not leaving Atletico for a smaller club.  Literally only 8-10 teams in the world that would have any chance.

Is he the player who's goal at our place effectively knocked us out of the UCL quarters? 

 

For that reason, he can get in the bin.

We should go after Patson Daka, everyone seems to think he's the next Erling Haaland

If we do look for a centre back and we continue with 3 at the back then we need someone who looks more comfortable as the left sided centre back. I'm not sure what it is, but Soyuncu looks a lot more uncomfortable there. He would love to the middle as Evans is phased out a bit.

Potentially it’s just playing in a 3 he needs to adjust to as he prefers to be on the left of a 2, I’m sure he’ll adapt to be fair

...interesting revelation!!!

I remember speaking with @Muzzy_Larsson  regarding Edouards' reaction to not coming here at the start of this  season,  and @Muzzy_Larsson said there was no kicking off and no expectation of dissent to come from Edouard, as he wasn't that type of player.

 I suspected at the time there was probably an agreement in place for him to leave at the end of this season, and was the reason he was comfortable with the situation. 

  In view of this you can, to some extent, understand the drop off in respect of performances and his bout of Covid and his long recovery from the illness, perhaps has not helped, in the perception of his overall application throughout the season.

McAvennie is one of the biggest helmets allowed a voice in football.

Absolutely. His lasting legacy in the world of football is that he was an alcoholic womaniser.
