Would like us to sign 1 or 2 of these: Leon Bailey - Only 2 years left on his contract now and had a great season, 15 goals and 11 assists Steven Berghuis - Allegedly available for 4m euros, which is unreal value considering he's coming off the back of a season with 18 goals and 14 assists. Noa Lang - Only 21 and had an excellent season for Club Brugge, 17 goals and 11 assists. Marcus Thuram - Only 2 years left on his contract and he'd add some much needed physicality to our team, 11 goals and 12 assists. If Thuram is half as good as his dad he would be better than most. However a bit pricy for us probably. Berghuis is great at home but made little impact at Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Leeds Fox Posted 9 June 2021 Share Posted 9 June 2021 Sabitzer being reportedly available for 15m and thuram reportedly available for 30m euros shows there are some deals to be had this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh for sure, but he arrives with some caveats. 1) First season in the Premier League under his belt. 2) Had to endure over half a season under the most clueless manager in Premier League history. 3) 1 G/A every 190 minutes 4) Left-footed right winger who has some positional flexibility Definitely a better alternative to Perez and Trincao et al. Anyway, forget all my very articulate points in a numbered list, here’s a YouTube dubstep compilation. https://youtu.be/QTqMsjO_wvc Edited 9 June 2021 by ScrumpyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like what we do in this country for under 25 players who's contracts expire. Ah fair enough. Must admit, my knowledge was from tracking him on football manager Wiki seems to point to some joint financial package between the 2 clubs in 2019, for which Barcelona exercised their option of a €9m in July 2021, after being on loan at Betis for 2 and a half seasons. Clearly, with the option of selling on for immediate profit. Strange deals in Spain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah very weird, like an Italian co ownership deal that is except Betis seem to have had the bum deal given they both paid 50%, it's been a glorified loan deal but at a fair old price to them whilst growing the players reputation.

I think last summer we offered them a loan for 2 years with an obligation to buy for €40m (https://twitter.com/fabrizioromano/status/1306296484997091328) With the interest in him when he was at Braga, and the interest last summer and the supposed links already, I wouldn't be surprised if we do go in for him (we like going after players we have wanted for a while) Also fits into Brendans whole, signing "broken" players or whatever it was Edited 9 June 2021 by moore_94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALC Fox Posted 9 June 2021 Share Posted 9 June 2021 On 08/06/2021 at 22:22, Ric Flair said: The more I think about it, the more I think Noni Madueke will be our number 1 target for right winger. Buying young English players is very difficult at the best of times but it's slightly easier from lower leagues or abroad and if we can get him for less than £25m then it's good value for a player of his potential. He has it all, can play out wide or as a 10 or striker and that might be part of Rodgers long term plan of a fluid front 3 of Barnes Edouard/Iheanacho and Madueke. Go get him How would he compare against, say Marcus Edwards, who's been linked with a move to Sporting from Guimaraes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another player who could well be worth a look. He was better in 2019/20 than 2020/21 but definitely making a good career. Madueke seems to have it all though, I think he'll be senior England International material within 18 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NasPb Posted 10 June 2021 Share Posted 10 June 2021 ziyech would be excellent here. problem is in general with moroccans is that when they go to big teams they often lose their places and never get back. Ziyech was used to being the star at ajax. at chelsea, with so much rotation changing teammates and, in general, instability, its been much more difficult. hes more of a finesse player than mahrez imo. tuchel playedhim way too centerally and has clear german bias as well so its been difficult. reckon hell go to italy though. regarding trincao, that report basically says that the player wouldnt care about leaving, ie that hes ok wih it, and, that barcelona recognise that they need to sell him.
