Summer transfer window.

[Zatara]

I am so glad we missed Palhinha my god.

Very good for Sporting & Fulham.

Orri Oskarsson for our number 9 next season, who's in?

 

[MKS]

Football is dying a slow death imo

Used to have tricky wingers back in the 60-80s and even the 90’s

Then the number 10 was the maverick type

James , requelme , Ronaldinho , zidane and may more

Nowadays the wingers are inverted and boring , number 10’s are defensive

The players are fitter but it’s very boring compared to the 90’s and early 2000’s

I just watched a James @ Everton highlight vid on YT. Just an absolute joy to watch play. A truely football tragedy that no fans got to see him live. A true Everton that. If there ever was one

Orri Oskarsson for our number 9 next season, who's in?

Didn't see the game, but just watched the goals. Apparently he made his professional debut at not quite 14 and scored a brace then too - albeit in the Icelandic 2nd div or something.

Skills video - mostly goals on the counter, albeit there are some instances of receiving the ball back-to-goal when closely marked, which is obviously what he would spend much of his time doing here.



Think Moist would rule him out straight away as not enough of a unit tho?

Has also missed most of this season for Sociedad with thigh knack and only started twice even when fit:

Ahh yeah that thigh injury explains why he hasn't featured much this season. I looked at his profile and he seems a sort of target man who works hard and has good movement and is a good all round forward who is composed in one on one moments. Still only 21 so a good age for progression. As for his physicality he does offer a physical presence even if he doesn't look huge but is still around 6 foot tall

 

[RufusCat]

He's expensive and defensive midfielders don't win games. We need to focus our budget on fullbacks and striker.

Rodri says hi

Orri Oskarsson for our number 9 next season, who's in?

I wonder if it may be worth extending Beto and sticking with him and Barry next season.

I'd be tempted to do the same with Keane, Gana & Mykolenko.

Reason being that our money will go alot further if we kick the can down the road for some positions while focusing the money on others:

GK: Pickford / Travers
LB: Mykolenko / Aznou
LCB: Branthwaite / Keane
RCB: Tarkowski / O'Brien
RB:
CM: KDH /
CM: Gana / Iroegbunam
CM: Garner / Armstrong
LW:
CF: Barry / Beto
RW: Dibling

LB: Lewis-Skelly and loan Aznou
RB: Two players required
CM: One new signing
LW: Two left and one right winger

Thats already 7 new signings.

Rohl, Patterson, Coleman, Alcaraz, McNeil to bring in circa £55mil.

Signing Haaland wins us more points than signing Rodri. There’s a reason attacking players cost more.

Where's Ndiaye gone?

Well spotted

How much is Udogie in the window?

 

[Nymzee]

How much is Udogie in the window?

About 50p given his dreadful injury record.

He's expensive and defensive midfielders don't win games. We need to focus our budget on fullbacks and striker.

I don’t think it’s an either/or - we need a right back, striker, defensive midfielder and another winger, then we can be ready for everything next season throws at us.
