MGLCFC Posted 18 July 2021 Share Posted 18 July 2021 So you sell Ward, Praet, Amartey and Ghezzal and you've raised your £30m for your right winger, including saving on salaries. Buy in a cheap replacement reserve keeper for a couple of years until Iverson is ready. Praet and Amartey don't need replacing as Soumare and KDH are extras in midfield. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like, to me, that one of Tielemans or Maddison will have to move on.. So we are buying quality and selling quality. The question is will that improve the balance of the team. To me I would sooner keep Youri as his skills are more difficult to replace . This is a difficult trade off and in the end nothing may happen. It doesn't work like that. Spending more on a player doesn't guarantee he'll be better. We've proven that already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we look to replace either of these two players, and in respect of Youri, create a weakness in a team which he is the Manager's General on the pitch. I am still convinced that we can pick up a Right Winger for £30m without selling either Youri or Maddison. A very achievable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still convinced that we can pick up a Right Winger for £30m without selling either Youri or Maddison. A very achievable option. I think, in the case of Youri, yes. We would absolutely have to replace him but Maddison? Not necessarily. It could signal an intention to play without a #10 with a move to a flat 3 CM or even a 2 where Praet and Soumare would offer more of a balance than Mads. I should add that I'd prefer to keep Maddison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thankyouleicester Posted 19 July 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 19 July 2021 Andy Carroll is now a free agent. I know I know but hear me out first. He of course would be bottom of the pecking order, but when you need a plan C and you're losing 2-1 then having something different like Carroll to launch balls to in the box couldn't be so bad. Am I insane? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shout that , he is as least as good as Dan and at 25 plenty of years in front of him. Seems like Tarks and Kabak are not happening , so why not?

Am I insane? BR has previously said he wouldn't play with a lamppost up front, so I think that would rule Carroll out. Personally I don't think he would be the worst option (injuries aside) but it seems he wants to leave Newcastle for more game time, so he's unlikely to want to come here to be 4th choice striker.

jeffschlupp Posted 19 July 2021 Share Posted 19 July 2021 The Athletic reporting this morning that Leon Bailey and Samu Chukwueze are both on Everton's list of targets for their right wing (Townsend and Gray seen as cover for Richarlison and a new signing). Is Chukwueze any good, we were linked a couple of seasons ago? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
