It's Quiet the £250m return

Forgot Echeverri too he looks pretty creative. Just because you don’t know enough about some of them yet does’t meant they aren’t
Yeah i get that Echeverri, Reijnders are unknown and could really suprise people - I really like the look of both of them but we have to remember that for every wonder kid that comes out of South America not many make it to the very top and most disappear into obscurity
 
The idea that Gibbs-White is a top three player in England this season is, to put it bluntly, exactly the kind of mentality that lead to us breaking our transfer record for Grealish even though (I think we can be honest about this now) we all knew on some level that he wasn’t worth the fee.

We’re talking about a really good player, but it’s a huge exaggeration to say that we know for a fact he’s good enough for City.
 
We are linked with him before he went to Wolves so wouldnt surprise me

very decent going forward...can he defend though? NOt seen enough of him really to know
You don't like any of the links though!! Haha

Tbh I've never been moved by him either

Wirtz has the skill set to play against a low block - anyone can see that

I dont disagree on MGW attributes except that precise techincal ability -

If we were bringing in someone of a Wirtz type along side him then ok...but we aint and it wont be enough especially in the prem league low blocks - in europe where games are a bit more open at times...possibly

We've not seen it, however?

Wirtz doesn't play against the parked bus. Reinjdeers and MGW will be more than enough.

Can say what you want about their abilities but Gibbs white has by far the better attitude and application.

He is a real leader and has his head screwed on. He is energetic and will bring a dimension we are seriously lacking (I.e he covers ground, is aggressive, hungry to win).

We also need homegrown players. It’s a good move imo and I don’t see the similarities to grealish or Phillips for that matter (I was against both signings at the time so this isn’t hindsight)
 
Nobody is pressing our goalkeeper anymore.

That's been the big difference for our build up lethargy.

We need a goalkeeper who can command his area at set pieces and make actual saves.
Yes but that’s because it’s Ederson and teams all know it’s pointless trying and just opens them up. Change keeper and they will likely go back to pressing whoever we get in to see how he deals with it
 
If Ederson brings his supposed Saudi offer to the table again, then that will get done.

Ortega has offers back in Germany.

Think Costa will happen.

Reinjdeers
Costa
Gibbs-White
Cambiaso
Wesley.

All of them more than likely after yesterday.

Looking like Ait Nouri instead of Cambiaso. If I was guessing I’d say we wanted Kerkez who is off to Liverpool and Ait Nouri is our back up with Cambiaso as third choice.

I think we certainly have to consider spending big on Livramento because of his home grown status with Grealish and Walker off and doubts over Stones and Ake.

In an ideal world we pick up an homegrown number 2 keeper but hard to find anyone good enough.

With all due respect, I’d argue that MGW hasn’t proven he can succeed against parked buses either.

Don’t get me wrong, what Forest have done this season is impressive, but they have been an incredibly counter-attacking team. Gibbs-White seems to usually excel when he’s on the counter.
 
Livramento is the main target for right back. Wesley would likely be loaned out.

You think are defo going for Livramento?! The only thing i would imagine is that Newcastle still dont have a big turnover do they so maybe a £70m offer tempts them to sell.
 
Gibbs-White can run for a start. Completely different skillsets
MGW and Reinjders together with 2 full backs are the logical choice. We have seen this season so many mistakes from these positions resulting in very sloppy goals. I would have preferred FBs from the prem but even then there isn't any guarentee they will easily adjust to Pep's requirements so we will just have to see. Back up to the new FBs can still be Nunes/ Ake and that's pretty good so overall the defence would be in a strong postion.

MGW and Reinjders provide goals from the midfield, are good technical players and young enough still to press, they are a very good fit for our requirements. We will still have Silva, Gundogan, Gonzalez, Rodri and kids to fill the midfield (Wirtz is a great player but alas not for us). We have had calls all season to give kids a chance so maybe we are with Echeverri and Bobb as AMs as part of the squad. Saying all of this if we could Wharton as well I'd be overjoyed.

Including replacing a GK then that's 5 incomings and outgoings potentailly of Ederson, Walker, Stones, Phillips, Kev, Kovacic, Grealish, McAtee, other kids means our DOFs are going to be very busy and we can only do so much
