Probs raid most of the PSV academy compare to our dross but sign this lad up purely for the goal @ 1.16

The reaction was fantastic. Almost like they all expected it. Just another goal...

We need a “bully” in our midfield Gueye does a lot of good work but not a physical presence.
Gueye, Gomes and Sigurdsson are not scrappers.

Need abit of everything again is a massive transfer window as we need to close the gap

Anyone know much about Dwight McNeil for Burnley?

Never seen him play but seen a few good things from him today.

I'm going to be the optimist on this board today for some reason. We simply still have too many players that are simply physically underwhelming and poor decision makers. Be nice if they had some balls, too. But I think we can turn this around, not entirely this summer, but could be a good team come next year.

Brands. I do believe the players we brought in here solid in the summer. Bernard and Digne are wonderful, Richy has some things to work on, but the kid can score. I actually think Mina is going to be good, although he's still pretty raw.

Sales. I know we might have to eat some salary, but between Cenk / Scheiderlin / Walcott / McCarthy / Mirallas / Besic / Bolasie / Sandro / Jags / Baines / Niasse / Williams / Martina, that's probably 800K a week in salary right there in total. I don't think we could get more than 50M in sales out of that crew, but that's not nothing. We could also sell Lookman, Vlasic, Onyenkuru for quite a bit if Brands doesn't like them.

Mosh. Our net spends have been around 80-90M the last two years. Mix in 50M in sales and the massive amount of salary we will dump, even by supplementing salaries to create sales, and our total spend could be 150M. A lot can be bought for 150M and that doesn't assume sales of our young players.

Experience. I think it's also very helpful that Brands will have seen this team play for an entire year now. It should be pretty obvious to him how poor some of our players are not just in a Silva managed squad, but in any modern team. That can't hurt.

To me, if we can spend 150M, that's enough to at least get in a couple of CMs/DMs, a RB, a CB, and an attacking player, either out Right or as a CF, even by loan. So I think we can expect this team to be a LOT better than this years.

On Monday 13th May 2019 at 9am I'd knock on WHU door with a written bid hand delivered for the amount of £100 Million pounds sterling for Declan Rice.

Then I would take a flight to Rome and give AS Roma 20 Million Euros for Edin Dzeko.

Then I would sign Suliman Rondon from WBA.

Then I would travel to London by car to Crystal Palace and offer £30 million pounds for Wilfried Zaha.

Meanwhile I would try to tie up Zouma.

Then I would go and get Johnny Evans from Leicester City.

Good thing you aren’t responsible for signing the players. Imagine paying 100 million for Declan Rice and thinking you’d get Zaha for 30. Dios mio.

Imagine paying 130M for players that weren't particularly great.

[boban]

Nicola Pepe Lille very good player

 

[Simon Buttle]

Nicola Pepe Lille very good player

Going to Bayern Munich by all accounts

 

[Del-boy]

New right back and forward. I only hope Brands has some gems up his sleeve and we don’t get rinsed for serious cash on bang average players.

I have seen a bit of him actually. Seems a good prospect. But bro for us I’d say.

Any chance we could step in and buy Raul Jimenez from under Wolves noses at the end of his loan period?...........just watched him run Chelsea's back line ragged.

He'd be expensive. But he's not a Mendes client I don't think, so that's helpful. I honestly don't think he's that great, but yeah, obvious improvement over what we have.
