Just playing devils advocate, looking a KDH could we have used the soumare money elsewhere. The issue is we alway seem to be 1 player short as we are always on the limit money wise. I agree with this. He looks like he could be a good player for us...but did we need him in front of other positions in the team...no

He adds a physical presence to the midfield, and could have huge potential. I'm guessing our recruitment team see him potentially becoming world class. Besides, he adds depth to the squad, which I think was just as important this summer as improving any particular position. 2
dayday Posted 7 August 2021 Posted 7 August 2021 Might be a bit of a long shot, but why not stick Patson Daka out on the right, he’s played there before and surely a better option than Perez.

Yes he is very much a striker, but again today Perez was poor when we was in good areas. He has the ability to play on the wing , he has two good feet, he’s quick and can dribble and has good work rate, it’s definitely worth us having a look rather than him sitting on the bench.

The money they use to pay the loans back, could have been used on players wages, players fees or a 300ft statue of David Nugent chasing a squirrel. 1

If the owners want to pump money into the club from the owners company then that's their perogative. If its on transfers etc it's highly regulated via uefa and the pl. If its on infrastructure it has almost no significance to the club.

Still might be a better option than Perez. Though obviously that's a low bar. Beating Manx' cup team today was great, but I'm not sure of the utility of starting Perez or Albrighton with Daka and Kelechi (and Soumare, for that matter) on the bench. You're going to rotate the squad of course (or at least you hope we will) but when we have a "best 11" type of match, I think you need to find a formation that doesn't include Perez or Albrighton. 1
Nicolo Barella Posted 8 August 2021 Posted 8 August 2021 Maybe we could get Neres on loan with an option to buy? He's behind Antony and Tadic at Ajax, and it could be good for Ajax to put him in the shop window 1 1

The club have to pay that money back, there is absolutely nothing to suggest we do not. Yeah, for FFP infrastructure might not count towards passing or failing that. But it’s still on the clubs books and we still have to pay it back. They could defer payments, they could even convert that debt to equity. But as it’s stands we are paying it back, with interest. 2
Nicolo Barella Posted 8 August 2021 Posted 8 August 2021 For me, a right winger is more important than a centrebacks, especially if Evans might be available for selection after the international break 1

Dan did well, but we managed without a better RW too, not saying we do not need one, we do, but CB depth will kill us this season if we get no-one new in. We cannot trust to Jonny’s fitness longer term unfortunately. 1

In an ideal world we'd have 4 centre backs who could all push for a first team place, and so long term we're in a similar position, (in that we still need at least one). Whats changed is that we may have gotten away without signing that centre back if little Wes hadn't been horrendously injured. I have a horrible feeling this injury is going to continue to plague Jonny for a while yet, and can see him playing one or two matches then pulling up like he did in the cup final and being sidelined for another few months. For this reason you could argue we now need 2 centre backs, although if we did sign those for longer than a season's loan it might mean losing someone once everyone is fit again. However all of this, no matter how necessary, wont stop me dreaming of us signing Noni Madueke ....

Happy Fox Posted 9 August 2021 Posted 9 August 2021 Brennan Johnson he looks the type of player we should go for, one for the future but certainly could make an impact. Probably will cost £5-7m, which isn’t that bad. 1
