Summer rebuild

[blueboy72]

We need an X factor player like Eze to play on the opposite wing to Ndayie. That an a progressive RB would transform the team.

I think Eze s over rated for what palace would want

From our current loans:

Lindstrom - He seems to be a Moyes favourite but I am not convinced on him personally. He looks too lightweight, not strong enough or fast.

His stats are 0 goals and 0 assists in 27 games in all competitions. For a rumoured £15m release clause, I'd rather go for Tom Fellows at West Brom over him.

If we could get him back on loan, maybe I'd take him but I'd go all out for Fellows.

Broja - I really like the player because I think he has the attributes we are looking for in a striker but that injury record plus a £20m fee is a huge red flag.

When you see Liam Delap go for £20m, I don't see the value in a player who not played 10 games in 2 years.

I would look at another loan with injury return clause added.

Harrison - JUST NO.

£90k a week and £10m to bring a 28 year player with no assists or goals.

His value is plumaging and we have McNeil and Ndiaye who can play out on the left.

Mangala - Prior to his ACL, I would have exercised his deal in January personally but unfortunately his latest injury will likely see him out of action for 9-12 months so maybe we could revisit it later but for now, not a chance.

Alcaraz - I think he is already becoming a fan favourite and in the limited game time, he has shown some very bright.

He is a good age and a good price (£12m rumoured) and he can play in multiple positions so I think if he can keep his form up, we will make this permanent.

Alcaraz only one for me…agree Mangala pre injury not big question mark

Whatever we do, we shouldn't be giving Moyes full control over signings. We need to bring in a DOF that he's willing to work with.

Isn’t that where Weir comes in. Esp now Kevin off

I think the only loanee we may keep is Alcaraz, depending on how the rest of the season goes. I dont get the talk of Lindstrom being a favorite, while I like him hes not playing RW because hes the favorite there....hes playing because we dont have anyone else to play there. Hes also not a winger, and has never been a winger, so I dont see any fit for him. Harrison is the obvious no, and Broja and Mangala are coming off of major injuries and havent shown enough to be worth what we suspect are high price tags.

I DO think we will go on a major spree this summer(compared to the past few at least), but I think first priorities are RW and RB, and then shoring up striker and midfield. I think they would be happy with 3-4 new starters, and then filling out an actual squad with depth and players for the future.

 

[Fonzy]

If there's any truth in that it's why you need a football / recruitment structure that's separate from the whims of the manager. Soucek isn't a bad player but he would be a bad investment.

Doubt TFG are likely to sanction many 30 plus year old signings

 

[blueboy72]

If we say 10mill for lyndstrom (wouldnt pay anymore) and 15 for charlie, we still need an ndiaye equivalent for the right.
Lyndstrom and mcneil should only be backups.
Think we need another centre mid.
Need upgrades at left and right back.
Need a striker.
Thats easily £120 mill needed for any quality.

season after (26/27) should look to replace doucs and gueye and probably tarc

Why would you pay for someone that can’t score or assist. As things stand today, there’s not a chance Moyes will pay one penny for lindstrom

I think we need 5 new starters maybe 6. RB, LB, CMid, RW, number 10 and striker

 

[Saint Domingo]

No to Mangala for me at that price. Garner is a better player than him. He was tidy on the ball but can’t get round the pitch. For 30 mill there’s better central midfielders out there and we need pace in that part of the pitch.

Would agree. Conservatively strategic was the phrase used by Thelwell. Can imagine maybe picking up and experienced squad player on a free if someone good is available but buying potential with good resale value is invaluable in this PSR world.

If you're letting the manager sign off on the DoF, you're basically giving the manager control over signings.

No way he’s worth 30mil and I don’t think Moyes has seen much of him? I can’t remember did he get injured before Moyes came in ? We need a first choice centre mid for next season. And gana and garner can fight for who plays with him.

 

[chazzle_dazzle]

I wouldn't be surprised if Lennon Miller is a player Moyes is interested in. Lad looks the part.

I havent seen this kid play, but I have heard lots of rave reviews about him saying hes going to go all the way.

Not sure if therell be bigger fish after him, but profile and location wise youd expect him to be on Moyes list.

I like the balance between Gana, Garner and Alcaraz. New contract for Gana. Sign Alcaraz, but look for competition for his spot and also for Garner's. Tim show's promise, interesting to see how he gets on next year.

 

[Axlswhk]

I want more south americans. They have the best winger and fullback.

Gana had been great but he’s 35, we need a first choice CM imo not someone
Who competes with him and garner,
This squad has been bottom half for a reason,
We need to up our standards
