You throw enough shit at a wall and some of it is bound to stick. They have been just throwing money around the place in recent years, they were bound to get some of their transfers right. Maybe they've gotten their act together now regarding transfers but that has semmed to coincide with Moyes coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would probably want a CL team if he was to leave Chelsea, but him, Jack and Ollie would be some front 3. you're right on CL ambitions but this is definitely the sort of player we should be going for. i think we will get a bit of a statement signing on the wing this summer personally then just a striker that can challenge watkins plus probably a couple of younger full backs that we can develop but will still be adequate cover for targett and cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are right..for years they got in wrong with recruitment, just like we did. but for now, like us, they seem to be doing better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Perhaps a cheeky bid for Oscar who is out of contract this summer and still only 29? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I think we will and Nakamba will leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratvillan Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I think this is where transfer windows become difficult. We are no longer replacing rubbish. We are trying to upgrade all over. Wingers Cdm Additional striker Additional centre half. It wont be cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Some young players we could look at in the summer and don’t think they would break the bank: Jayden Bogle - RB back up Antonee Robinson - LB back up Harry Shouttar and/or Nathan Collins - CB back up Michael Olise - Mid back up Josh Maja - CF back up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Antonee Robinson is on £60 k pw basic... Cannot see us paying a backup anywhere near that amount just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks, we already have Barkley and nobody has seen anything of Oscar in 5 years to say he is anywhere near Barkleys level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I would love us to sign two relatively expensive players in St Maximin and Bissouma. Then a couple of young up and coming players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Thinking of new RBs, wonder if we're scouting Connor Roberts. Seems to create loads of chances for Swansea bombing down the right so fits the same profile as Cash and regular for Wales now. Giving them Conor full time could help us there.

Would leave us with Cash and Kesler and think a loan move next season would be the smart move as he's still only 18 and could really kick on if we find him a good club. Other move which wouldn't shock me is going back in for Axel given he's been back at Man. United two years and is never going to be first choice there so him coming back would give us good cover at RB and CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
