The ‘dream’ of course is still to pursue the Dia for Maupay deal if that’s actually on the table. You’re not bloating the position and get a pacey striker to rotate when Dom is inevitably injured. I can see is selling Dom so moving forward you’d have Dia and the Portuguese lad as the 2 main options to build around.

Probably pipe dream, but some sort of pace is still needed in the attack, be it tete, Iling-junior, gnoto (just to use prior mentioned names)

The Dia deal makes sense because it fixes 2 problems, most importantly a recognised experienced striker but also it gets Maupay out.

I don’t think we probably have the money for Dia outright and I think we’d struggle to sell Maupay so again a deal like this just makes perfect sense. I’ve seen that Dia can maybe play out right too, would be a very sensible option.

Like you said I’d like another fast wide man but I think the best we can hope for is someone like Dia that can maybe play multiple positions. Other than that it’ll be like Tete or Adama Traore on a free (both of which I’d take honestly)

Similar to last summer window majority of our signings have come with little media attention, which is good and just shows you shouldn’t believe anyone on twitter

Koff.

Paying for our forwards as nobody wants Holgate, Keane, Gbamin, Gomes etc

 

[Houghty19]

They can have him for £100m

 

[maccavennie]

Need an attacking creative player as well. Ideally someone to replace Iwobi.

No hint at the price from anyone?

From the link on GOT front page.

"Despite having a contract running until 2027 with a release clause believed to be in the region of €80m (£69m), the teenager could leave for a figure of €20m (£17m) this summer according to the report".

I know Thelwell gets a lot of grief on here and he should over the striker things but I think our recruitment strategy so far has been exactly what it should be last summer and this one. Signing a mixture of young players with lots of potential and experienced pros.

Apparently that €15m + 10% sell on report from the Portuguese source is reliable according to Sporting fans so I’d trust it’s around that. £12m.

Here’s Bobble confirming now too, think the wording here with “up to” probably means it’s got a few add ons. Might only be paying £7m-£10m and then the rest based on performance or something.

Indeed, rinse them I say.

Worth up to £12.8m, not a bad fee at all if he turns out to be a good player.
