Only recently signed from Malmo but with Bordeaux going down he shouldn't be too costly. Maybe the 10-15m mark. Great shout, was astonished he ended up at Bordeaux.

I tell you what you know, we could do a lot lot worse than looking at him. He's done well this season but what I like most about him is he's a relentless attacker and defender. There was one year at France where his underlying stats were off the scale. He was then converted in to a left wing back (bonus to have a genuine attacking threat whose left footed if we were ever to play that system) as well as equally as good playing left wing or right wing. Can play up top in a front 2 as well. He'd be my gettable Plan C if we couldn't get our main targets. i saw that earlier too, we should be on this tbf, impressed by him this season and seems the sort of player we'd go for, and for under £20mil is a steal for me , if .....if we cant get our main targets Edited 16 May 2022 by FrankieADZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore_94 Posted 16 May 2022 Share Posted 16 May 2022 (edited) Hasn’t really played as a right winger regularly since 18/19, and has mostly been a left winger/striker for Burnley this season 26 appearances - 1,704 mins - 18.9 games 8 goals and 2 assists Goal contribution every 170.4 mins Decent output in a crap Burnely side If we decide not to take the option on Lookman it could be interesting with how versatile he is, could cover striker (which we are seemingly interested in this summer), cover either wing (instead of Lookman), and be an option at wing back or even left back if desperate Could be worth keeping an eye on if we have issues getting other targets Edited 16 May 2022 by moore_94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Fresh Posted 16 May 2022 Share Posted 16 May 2022 1 hour ago, Ric Flair said: Good player, does lack pace though but makes up for it with excellent technical ability. There's another young left footed Croatian midfielder coming through at Salzburg cut from the same cloth but a bit more mobile - Luka Sucic. He's having a superb season and only 19. Sucic is probably destined for bigger things already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 16 May 2022 Share Posted 16 May 2022 Sangare, Ndicka, Johnson, Lookman and De Ketelaere would represent a near perfect summer IMO. Kasper, Iversen, Ward Justin, Castagne, Ricardo, Thomas Ndicka, Soyuncu, Evans Fofana (Amartey) Sangare, Ndidi, Mendy Maddison, De Ketalaere, KDH (Perez) Johnson, Barnes, Lookman (Albrighton) Vardy, Daka, Iheanacho Enough players to make two capable squads for next season. Injuries shouldn't be a problem given we won't be in Europe. We ought to go for the Cups again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of it might be down to the semantics of positions (what constitutes the difference between a ST or Winger) or the leagues they have data for. Tsygankov should finally get a move somewhere this summer, his number have been too good for Dynamo for ages now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJams Posted 16 May 2022 Share Posted 16 May 2022 Ilkay Gundogan has been told he can leave Man City a year before his contract expires. So naturally he’ll want to come to us and replace Youri. And play for 5k a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetly Posted 16 May 2022 Share Posted 16 May 2022 Looks like we need to get about 6-7 squad players out. For me quality over quantity sign 3-4 potential starters not squad players. No European football, and to keep everyone interested we need a smaller squad. We are carrying to many players that know they are only going to play a handful of games. A squad of 20 good outfield players plus goalkeepers is enough. We can use the youth team players if needed. Moving all our unwanted players on will be our biggest problem I think.

There's a few others I'd go for over Cornet if it were down to me but at £17.5m it's a very good deal. ... it sounds as if you are well informed on what is happening behind the scenes!!! I have reservations about Madueke and Tete would be my first choice. Hopefully he pulls out of any deals with Lyon and look to other options.

Pliskin Posted 17 May 2022 Share Posted 17 May 2022 I’ve got a feeling we’re going to pull a random left wing pin up signing out of nowhere. Similar to Cambiasso when he came to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
