[Brisan123]

Genuinely have no idea who I want in the Summer outside of Shane Duffy.

Can Barrow afford the wages ??

I am hoping for Troy Deeney
We have been linked every summer and he would be a great impact sub

Kamara is class and only has 1 year on his contract at Marseille who are short of money.

Rapid, can pass, tackle, versatile, leadership...and still only 21.

For the price of Bissouma you could probably get Kessie from Milan who also only has 1 year on his contract.

Who would you prefer, Kessie or Bissouma?

Too old no resale value
Has he got a younger brother

If Kessie becomes available we will be way down the list of suitors

If you subscribe to the Athletic there is a very good article on Gbamin
He played mainly as a 6 but his pace and power allowed him to carry the ball forward from deep in his own half to well into the opposition half
His ability to switch play with long diagonal balls from the No 6 position was also a strength of his
If and I said IF he turns out to be the player we thought we signed he will be a valuable addition to the squad
The Athletic is well worth the Euro a MONTH for the subscription

Remember when we were signing Axel Witsel? I think the idea before Gbamin blew up his quad and ankle was for him to maybe be a version of that. I wouldn't give up on him yet.

I have high hopes for Gbamin
The year we signed him I was on holiday in the Canaries and met a German football fanatic who followed one of the lesser teams
He raved about Gbamin ,said he was a monster on the pitch

 

[Brisan123]

Why can’t this forum understand that we are targeting at least 1 x CB?

One in and one out
Holgate is my guess and I would not be surprised if it was a big name older CB to partner Godfrey who came in

We need to at least give him a full preseason, and the rest of this season to get to any level he was previously.

Scored in the Champions League last night.
Must be terrible.

No he did not

I think it will happen myself tbh, Ancelotti has always had an experienced leader type at the back in all of his previous teams and i don't see any reason why he won't do it here.

Imagine the fume and the boiling of Urine across the park if we signed Ramos on a 2 year contract

I can see one of Keane or Mina going in the summer with an older 'leader type' coming in. Holgate moved back as CB cover and maybe one of Gibson or Brathwaite becoming the 4th choice.
Whether that's paying 30-40m for a Koulibaly or approaching someone like Jerome Boateng to come in on a free i don't know but i do think, like Allan and James, he'll want one of his own players in there.

20 league goals are penalties.

In the last three seasons he's scored 14 of his 41 goals from the spot. If we aren't putting him on penalties he scored once every 230 minutes.

So I guess what we need to ask is how bad do we need a good penalty taker?

I just made a post about it and the problem for me is he's had so many penalties to boost that. If we aren't putting him on pens he's not hitting 15 aside from that one very out of character year. One year he had 15 total and 7 from the spot.

Theres one key point youre missing here...

...he plays for Torino who, after 3 top 10 finishes have dropped off a cliff in recent seasons.

If you check your stats i think you will see that he has been dropping very deep to receive the ball and will probably be top in the key passes metric within those stats and probably have 5 or 6 assists each season as well.

Hes naturally not going to replicate 20+ goals a season when hes now roaming deep to pick up the ball and impact the game because his team mates arent good enough.

I am guessing here, but my guess would be that he has played 90% of Torinos games since that high scoring season and would be one of the most fouled players in the league.

In short, he would score a bucketload in a team which allowed him to be around the penalty area rather than over reliant on him to do everything.

He is a top, top reliable player...thats the eye test.

No doubt there are players to swerve coming out of Eredivisie.
And especially of the Klassen and Van de Beek generation when the youth system had lost its way.
And there's guys like Koopmeiners who is highly rated but not suited to PL.
But over the next decade there'll be a raft of players coming through.
Its started with Frenkie De Jong and De ligt.
The likes of Ryan Gravenbach, Calving Stengs and Sven Botman coming through are going to the biggest clubs.
But there are others. Brobbey just signed for Leipzig, why couldn't we have got him?
Joey Veerman should be someone on our radar.
In fact we should really be looking at the Eredivisie for younger players pushing the starting XI players
like Harroui, Gakpo, Kadioglu, Reis, Kudus, Rensch and many others.
There are weaknesses in the Dutch league, there are also diamonds at a good price if you know where to look.

A few rumours about Gravenberch £30mil-£35mil to Chelsea or Liverpool the other day.

Why do you think Brands hasnt signed a single player from his homeland since he joined the club? Seems very peculiar to me.

Ancelotti will have very good contacts in Milan. Also Kessie may feel more comfortable playing for Ancelotti with him being revered over there and of course across the globe.

If he signs for us he'll be starting every possible game under a world class manager. Things like that are important to players...

Just from his limited game time you can see he 'looks' like he could be a very good all round player...lets hope he can get back to where he was and even better.

Insanity to sell Holgate.

I wonder who would be the best signing, Ramos or Koulibaly.

Koulibaly of course has the 'monster' effect and is a very good passer of the ball...at 29 probably has 3 more seasons at being one ot the best around. He could be a starter for us for 5 seasons really...still a somewhat hefty fee.

Ramos on the other hand would probably only be able to play 25 games a season (similar to James) but brings the leadership , quality and experience into the defence and possibly a change in mentality.

On a free transfer for 2 seasons it could be a better signing...shades of Richard Gough.

Cointoss for me really.
