dooflip Posted 4 August 2024 Posted 4 August 2024 Not quite for the beginning of the season, but Gabriel Barbosa. Out of contract in December so would be free. Been linked before. Currently serving a ban but will be eligible to play around March iirc. Fully aware this is dreamland, but what a signing he would be on a free.

Brazilian mates say avoid

Our sort of price range: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/james-mcatee/profil/spieler/583199 Pep’s stated he will be involved in their squad this season, fair play to the lad if true. edit - only just seen the other replies stating the same thing.

kingfox Posted 4 August 2024 Posted 4 August 2024 Thoughts on Calvin Stengs nowadays @Ric Flair He is one of only a few who fit the creative RW/CAM profile like Asprilla and Soule...
Muzzy_no7 Posted 4 August 2024 Posted 4 August 2024 Rather than faff about with Soule we could have focussed on Sara and Szmodics and likely had both done for a combined 30m weeks ago. Absolute joke of a club atm.
Mike Oxlong Posted 4 August 2024 Posted 4 August 2024 The way things are going I’m beginning to think that all we’ll manage before the end of the window is Jack Shit

Absolute joke of a club atm. Well Sara is going for £22mill and that's around the apparent fee Blackburn want. So £40mill. And then if Sara had chosen Galatasary anyway, people would bemoan going for him and be saying we should have concentrated on getting Soule in for £30mill instead.
FoxTimmy2 Posted 4 August 2024 Posted 4 August 2024 Surely there are some prospects in the Nordic leagues? Hermansen was a great piece of business. What do we really have to lose by taking a punt on a £5m player? We're facing relegation as it is anyway, we can only go up from there.
Scotch Posted 4 August 2024 Posted 4 August 2024 If we are looking for a #10/RW hybrid and are as strapped for cash as it seems, what about Yusuf Yazici? Free transfer, in his prime, left footed 10 who can and has played wide right.... Would prob need to battle Milan for him but they seem hesitant. 1

Fair shout, surprised he hasn’t signed for anybody yet, he had enough decent performances for Lille last season. Can also be deployed as a striker too, his style is quite unorthodox, can be used like a target man, but he possesses good technical ability, hence why he’s covered numerous positions. 1

Not quite hit the heights I thought he would but he is maturing in to that central role and impacting games consistently. Plenty to still like about him. 1

Sankey93 Posted 4 August 2024 Posted 4 August 2024 2 weeks from our opening game and haven’t improved the team 😂 we’re gunna end up with absolute 5th choice players who won’t make the team any better!

From that list it has to be Guessand or Adebayo for me, they are far less raw than the others that have been mentioned. I recommended Guessand as a potential option the other day, thought he looked pretty handy at times last season for Nice. Physical, quick, direct and a good ball carrier. As for Adebayo, double figures in the Premier League last season of course, like Guessand he’d also offer a physical presence. 3
StriderHiryu Posted 4 August 2024 Posted 4 August 2024 Interestingly Galatasaray divulged all of the details of the Sara deal: Fee: 18 million Euros over 9 installments in 3 years 5 year contract 2.75m Euro annual salary (About 50K Euro a week) I suppose the 5 year contract is the biggie there, but otherwise all of the above you would think would be well within our ballpark. So I can only assume we aren't prepared to go that far for potential signings...

Think Adebayo was out for a couple of months with an injury, 10 goals is very good. No brainer. 1

I wasn't crazy about Sara as a pickup, but he's better than a lot of the other players we could end up with.
