Filberts lovechild Posted 13 July 2023 Posted 13 July 2023 Still a long way to go in the window but I find it concerning we’re mostly being linked with defenders and GK’s when we need more creative players, CAM and wingers. Hopefully the Penny will drop after the Northants game 1

Maddison, Barnes and Tielemans supplied nearly all of our goals though. So now we can't defend nor create and score anything. Superb 1 2

Yeeeaaa about that…. You’ve just literally listed our creativity madders and Barnes scored 23 goals between them and assisted 11…. The rest combined scored 35 and assisted 29

I suspect all of our attacking signings are being worked on using the prospective Barnes money. His £35m is pure P&L as well and the Maddison funds were for our defence (Winks aside). 3

Would suspect the same but would imagine those two major incomings are supplemented by some smaller ones, like Hirst and hopefully even further inflated by the likes of Castagne 1
Foxmeister Posted 13 July 2023 Posted 13 July 2023 I suspect players have pretty much signed but not announced until another sale is completed to soften the blow. Maddison sold, Winks and Coady sign. Barnes sells and a couple more come in and repeat with Iheanacho, Castagne, Ricardo etc.. One of the keepers, lamp post, Praet and a couple of others will be moved on for smallish fees to free up wages and the club expect the fans to be ok with that which I expect we will be.
Lambert09 Posted 14 July 2023 Posted 14 July 2023 there’s 7 days left until we fly on tour… just 20 until the league starts… there’s still so much to do. With enzo’s vision needing time to implement we need the bodies on the plane next week and we don’t need anyone flying who’s fecking off.

Maybe Enzo,s vision isn’t someone else’s especially if Enzo wasn’t a candidate put forward via the usual route. Really hope our club isn’t sabotaged by juvenile reactions to noses being put of joint. 1
Fox85 Posted 14 July 2023 Posted 14 July 2023 We really need to go after the following players..... need some creativity. Illias Chair Ismalia Sarr/Adama Traore Ezequiel Barco from Atalanta Piroe. Potentially get 4 of those for under 40 Million. Traore would cost the most.
LVFox Posted 14 July 2023 Posted 14 July 2023 After a frustrating week it's slowly coming together. Would absolutely love to see this followed up by: Piroe, Chair and Poku Rak Sakyi + Casadei on loan I'm being a tad optimistic there though. 1

I think Piroe might be our final permanent signing this Summer if we don’t sell Barnes, now we’re also signing Hermansen. Expect more loans - Casadei and a couple of wingers, and we’re cooking.

Ric Flair Posted 14 July 2023 Posted 14 July 2023 I still cannot believe there wouldn't be takers for Praet for a nominal fee and cover most of his wages, Ndidi for £5m and cover his wages, Iheanacho £15m, Castagne £10-15m. Get those done + Barnes. We can then pay off Vestergaard for the remaining element of his wages that another club won't cover and possibly loan out Faes. We'd then have a lot of leg room to get Piroe and 2 ACM's and 2-3 wingers. 2
FrankieADZ Posted 14 July 2023 Posted 14 July 2023 on Praet, I think Torino are interested, but i think theyve got to get rid before they can buy 1

We'd then have a lot of leg room to get Piroe and 2 ACM's and 2-3 wingers. Maresca mentioned Praet’s name a lot in the post match interview yesterday, and I think Praet fits his system perfectly. Be interesting to see if he stays. If we keep Praet and sell the other players you’ve mentioned we would have brought in around £105m from player sales (including Barnes). We’ve already spent around £23m including the Hermansen deal. Leaves us with £82m. As you’ve stated bring Piroe in for around £12-£15m, get 1-2 ACM’s on loan dependent on the Praet situation, get 3 wingers in one permanently (Mavididi £6m) and 2 more on loan. Can see us bringing in another 4-6 players after Hermansen and would leave us with a profit of around £60m on player turnover. 1
MadsEmil Posted 16 July 2023 Posted 16 July 2023 Borges apparently had a bit of a stinker in the U19 Euros final tonight. Portugal fans saying the lad runs fast but has no product

I think they are firmly in his mind of pushing players into the box 2
