wardyfox86 Posted 4 May 2024 Posted 4 May 2024 A whole new defence. Faes - get some money for him Vesty - thanks for the season and goodbye Doyle - Thanks but no thanks Justin - Bench option at best Some grit and bite, we're too cute and fluffy. New 1st choice striker. Backup wingers. Other than that, we're good 1

Simonb Posted 4 May 2024 Posted 4 May 2024 Ohares names being used a bit. Personally can't stand him, but he's the type that would get under the skin of the opposition and has a trick or two, so I wouldn't be against it. Mcatee from sheff United Quite like the idea of Barclay An absolute must though is a goalscorer, seen what a difference Szmodics goals have made for Blackburn and we're going to need that in the Premier league, ideally with a bit more of a physical presence too. All the teams at the bottom that tend to scrape their way in to survival tend to do so off the back of a player like Wood, DCL, Awonyi, Benteke etc.. maybe a punt on someone like that Adebayo at Luton. Although not sure he'd suit the Enzo way
CloudFox Posted 4 May 2024 Posted 4 May 2024 I think the most work we have to do is that backline. Need a lot more pace if we do push that high up the pitch. Although arguably we won't be able to push that high up against PL sides. Either way, we need defenders who are good on the transition. 1
Ian Nacho Posted 4 May 2024 Posted 4 May 2024 We need a striker, attacking midfielder, centre half (at least one) and a box to box midfielder. Maybe some depth out wide.

Mate is a posh fan. Said he played as a 10 for them and can’t believe how many goals he’s got, reckoned never looked like he had that in him.
Cropwellfox Posted 4 May 2024 Posted 4 May 2024 We aren’t going to be able to pay much in terms of fees at all i would imagine. Can see loans and free transfers being the business we do… midfield pick 3 or 4 out of Sensi, Brownhill, O’Hare, Barkley, McAtee depending on who leaves

And that’s the issue, is this a bit like Craig makail smith or whatever his name was, just a one season wonder?
JimJams Posted 4 May 2024 Posted 4 May 2024 For the money Blackburn apparently want for him, I'd not want to find out. He'll be 29 in September. People can spit all the late bloomer stuff out and the Vardy line, and if he costs the same as Vardy then it's a goer. But he won't. 2

Always a worry when a player doesn’t score loads and then has an amazing season.

Contract up this summer and got a similar profile as Leif Davis had last season. I'd take a chance on him. Surely worth a look. we've had some luck in the past with players from lower leagues. Well spoken of too.
Pliskin Posted 4 May 2024 Posted 4 May 2024 Burrows looks a player. 144 appearances at 22. Not bad at all.

Loads of strapping on his legs too. 1
Clever Fox Posted 4 May 2024 Posted 4 May 2024 At 28 years and only one good season I doubt we're going for him at 20 mil. the time to sign him was in January when we possibly could have got him for 10 mil.

We need as many leaders as possible next season to overcome what we could be hit with. A couple of experienced signings to replace the outgoing experience will be needed. No but how did you feel about the likes of Iborra or Inler? 2 players also at the arse end of their career that did nothing of note for us. And they were both younger than Reus. They were also central (defensive) mids so like Cambiasso they probably didn't need to adapt as much, Reus has been a winger for the majority of his career and moved into an attacking midfield role because he's not got the legs for playing wide anymore. And that's in Germany. So he's not going to be able to play the wing at Premier League pace imo and we don't play with attacking mids in the way he plays for Dortmund. And despite him being a Dortmund legend, I've never seen him as much of a leader. He'd need to transform into an 8, and he just isn't going to have the legs imo.
Claudio Fannieri Posted 4 May 2024 Posted 4 May 2024 Not sure if he is gettable but Matt O’Reilly as one of the 8’s transfermarkrt has him valued at around €13m
urban.spaceman Posted 4 May 2024 Posted 4 May 2024 Let's make him the 50th player to leave Spurs and won a trophy since Spurs last won a trophy. (Harry Winks was 49th) 1

Iborra and Inlers careers were significantly less impressive than Reus and Cambiasso. Sometimes having an older head who’s had such a good career can be massive, especially at the foot of the table. Don’t underestimate the influence Cambiasso had on the squad the season we stayed up. However, Reus has a rancid injury record, that’s what would put me off.
