The Squad planning thread

Yeah, RB.

Frimpong if the system stays the same? Homegrown and academy trained benefits that as well

Nah, not for me. Don't rate him as a FB, if he wasnt club trained doubt he'd even be in the conversation.

Who would you go then mate? Porro? Vanderson? Aina?

Off to google I go.

Outstanding 1 on 1 defender.

Have we been linked?

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Have we been linked?

Few times now from Nov onwards. He's on someone radar him and Andrei Rațiu in La Liga. not big names though so kinda gone under the headlines

*Us, Liverpool, Barca and Arsenal linked since Jan at least.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Dunno if its the way they play or buy but cant think of Brentford FB i havent liked either.

Henry, Hickey, Lewis-Potter and now Kayode.

Kayode has had a very good game here.

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

think he's not gonna make it with us sadly - can't afford the squad space to give him a decent chance.

Bloody hell, he’s only been here four months, give him chance.

 

[foden47]

So it seems the following are likely:

Costa
Cambiaso
Gibbs-White

With possible/hopeful

Wirtz

Do we need anything else? A RB at least i would have thought unless Ake is going back to LB?

I don't believe Cambiasso is a target. For me it's just Juve trying to sell him for a decent fee.

you're right!

 

[nmc]

and he's Spanish.


Yes, forgot Jack - in attitude he seems to have moved on already - to the sandpits with Eddie? Big future for that big lad Bah too, hope it's with us!


£30m to send him out on loan? Same with Savinho who also cost us £30m and some think will follow a similar path.
If that happens the club has made two more expensive mistakes - they won't be coming back - I hope they stay and improve to our level as expected.

Perhaps a bit early to write Reis off. He’d probably benefit from a year on loan.

 

[skybluepower]

Bring Kerkez instead of Cambiasso, the guy is at the best hand an average

do we spend £30m on players to send them on loan?

I guess we are buying potential here. He’s too young and raw to be a starter here yet, so it must have always been in the plan to loan him out. We must see something long term in the lad because we clearly didn’t buy him to throw him straight into the first team.

Real Madrid were about to sign him so we moved quick. Also Palmairas wanted him back on loan for a season but City apparently said no because if we keep him now we can count him as HG in the long term.

B-But but he can play multiple positions.. Kerkez is only 22 so at least 8 years too young to be a starter
