Which Miggy does 🤷🏻♂️…. after a fashion Interesting that in this little exchange that an upgrade would appear to be the very best practitioners of wing craft in recent times.

Holden McGroin 5026 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 On a side note, Beckham would have been brilliant in the Longstaff role now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almiron's main weakness was he was incapable of putting a cross in on his right foot once he had beaten his man because eddie plays with inverted wingers. the focus is on ball-retention, recycling, using the overlapping full back for crosses ideally your inverted winger would have a stronger weak foot than miggy mind!

aimaad22 3565 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Well finally a rumour one can get behind. 30M fee would mean a nice little 100M+ injection into the transfer kitty. Al Shabab is not one of the PIF owned clubs so less scrutiny on the price too. Maybe we can squeeze out another 5-10M in added fees? Ship Wilson off for 20M off and that's a great window before we've managed to get anyone in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sold Wilson and Isak got injured we’d be in relegation trouble. In fact, if bruno got injured and we have no replacements we’d likely be in bother as well.

Ayatollah Hermione 12865 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Edwards is saying we want Gibbs-White to replace Almiron. On the plus side, that would be a phenomenal signing. On the negative side, it’s Luke Edwards reporting it 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the negative side, it’s Luke Edwards reporting it Gibbs-White, Solanke and Phillips would be a canny little window all things considered like even if it meant losing Trippier (seems increasingly likely with each passing hour - but for £11m fuck off), Wilson and Miggy.

aimaad22 3565 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I'm sure Ashworth has a list of candidates we could target for 50M rather than splunk it on Solanke who might go back to scoring 6 goals a season next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4259 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I desperately don't want us to sign Solanke, the figures being quoted for him are a joke. Hes 26 and this is the first time hes managed double figures in the premier league. He only got 6 in 32 starts last season. Hes a 50 million pound dwight gayle. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
