It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

I don't think Bazunu would want to spend 2-3 years as a second choice keeper he's good enough to be a PL keeper right now
 
Isn’t Bazunu good enough to start every week for a mid-lower table Premier League or Championship club? I can’t see him wanting to play back up to Ederson if that’s true. His contract expires with City in 2024 so if we do plan on him being our número uno after Eddy we needs a new contract and loan at a level higher than Portsmouth… or we could sell with a buyback.

so if Haaland is one obvious target, do we have any other plans this summer?

We will also have Alvarez arrive but will there be any other postential positions we are looking at improving....

If what TH is saying about Bellingham is true then we wont be looking at a CM even if Ferna is leaving which means we are one CM down for a season.

Alvarez replaces Torres

I guess it depends upon who else could leave....If one of Jesus, Mahrez or Sterling were to leave would we look at another forward?

Do we need cover at fullback (Walker is a machine but he aint getting any younger and how long will Zinch be happy sitting on the bench?)

Centre halves and GK's seemed to be covered

TH said just a few pages back that we are signing a backup for Rodri this summer, but it wont be a super expensive one. Not sure I see Bellingham as a good Fernandinho replacement anyway, every time I've seen him he seems to be a way more attacking minded player than a 6 in our system, even if he surely could cover the odd game (but you dont spend 100m+ on a player to mainly play him out of the position he played in when you signed him). If we sign him I would expect him to replace one of our 8s like Gündogan next summer, not Fernandinho.

depends if pep or whoever sees something in him that would make the perfect cdm in our system, we don't really have destroyers we have players that firstly are very good footballers ,then pep coaches them into what he needs

I buy this argument if its a player already in our squad, or perhaps someone thats available at a really low price. I dont think its likely at all when its about paying around or more than a British transfer record fee for a player. And thats of course assuming Bellingham himself has no preference about what position he wants to play. Seems more like something you do on Fifa or Football manager rather than in real life.
 
If we do not call back Gazunu and Steffen does leave, our number 2 GK remains a question mark. It won’t be Carson!

Who do you think is likely to leak it, Dortmund? Wouldn't put it past Real Madrid to do it with us facing them in a few weeks time and them knowing they're out of the race. That maybe the paranoid part of me talking there.

Dortmund is telling/ briefing German Media started with Berger. I have a feeling Dortmund hate that they are not getting the amount of money they would really want.

Plus they’ve been pushed by the dippers in a race for Adeyemi who is their Haaland replacement. Salzburg have apparently given them a deadline and from what German media is saying the can not sign Adeyemi unless Haaland is sold could be why they are briefing journalists about Haaland city

A large reason Dortmund won the last Haaland sweepstakes was they accepted the low release clause. So they may hate it, but are also well aware it was necessary for his signature the last time around.
 
I love the idea of Dortmund pettily leaking/announcing a Haaland deal because they’re that pissed off. Bellends
