We could potentially develop both of them. I wouldn’t mind a transfer strategy similar to Brightons. In the past 2 seasons they’ve spent 35m+ on youngsters who they send out on loan. These players can then be sold for a profit or be promoted to the first team if they’re good enough (eg: Mitoma). We don’t have 35m+ to spend but we could target players out of contract like Bradley, Noah Mbamba from Club Brugge, etc. Edited 9 January 2023 by Shane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityfanlee23 Posted 14 January 2023 Share Posted 14 January 2023 (edited) Wait, Isco is out of contract? Sevilla terminated him after he allegedly had an argument with the sporting director. 30 years old, 53 goals in 353 appearances for Real Madrid. Sime Vrsaljko is out of contrct also, 31 years old. Could offer a short contract as he can play both left and right back. Edited 14 January 2023 by cityfanlee23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chocolate Teapot Posted 17 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 17 January 2023 I find it absolutely mad that people consider 45m net spend 'major investment'. Its 2 average players nowadays unless you've spotted a gem. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 17 January 2023 Share Posted 17 January 2023 The irony of this thread is that we don't do transfers on the cheap, we just don't do them at all. Every window there's so much value to be had and our name is as far removed from it as possible. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wortho Posted 17 January 2023 Share Posted 17 January 2023 It's as if the owners want us to go down. Why are clubs of a similar size spending millions but we are skint? Just get investment of £100m or be relegated, I think that's the choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think we could spend £30-£35m on 3 players and be fine - Sarabia for £4.4m shows just how much value there is in the market if you're looking in the right place. Absolutely nuts that we're not strengthening in some shape or form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityfanlee23 Posted 19 January 2023 Share Posted 19 January 2023 (edited) Tongue in cheek here, I know he can sometimes be a bit of a Donkey, but Adama Traore on form is a scary player to have running at you. On a free in summer and Wolves are talking about an extension but it's not going anywhere, Napoli have come in and offered him 40k a week on a free in summer, which seems cheap. On form he had more successful dribbles than any player in Europe over the course of a season, shame about his crossing though, I'd take him and sack off Perez, then again i'd bring back Lloyd Dyer and play him on the right ahead of Perez Edited 19 January 2023 by cityfanlee23 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I'm not sure if he would find them anyway But yeah we are incredibly short on the wing, His wages are reportedly about 50k a week which is within budget, still only 26, and if we can somehow get the best out of him, he would be far more effective than Perez IMO Edited 20 January 2023 by cityfanlee23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFCCHRIS Posted 20 January 2023 Share Posted 20 January 2023 Always liked traore but it does seem when watching him that he lacks end product. We really could do with a fast winger again though. Miss Lloyd Dyer's pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
