It can work ok when needed to stop a rot (John Terry for example) but where we are now I want us to be signing younger, ambitious and developing players who will improve and grow with us. That combined with our academy should make us quite the team and perhaps be seen as very tempting for young players in the future. I agree with you in general and I think the club do too. However I wouldn’t be surprised or disappointed to see an experienced top quality player come in if they have the right attitude and aren’t just looking for a last pay day. SG has has spoken very positively about Ashley Young’s influence on the squad. Like you I’ve no idea who or even in what position but it wouldn’t be a player for the future, but to help to instal the hard working and winning attitude that is very important to us now and needs to be a part of the culture at the club going forwards.

(he had to leave Italy because the didnt?) I am not sure but with all the talk about Italy not allowing it and that he would need to play in a different country made be think that if it wasn't allowed on England it would have been mentioned by some media outlet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not like he had a heart attack, it stopped beating. It is an electrical problem as opposed to a mechanical problem. There is nothing stopping him being an elite athlete again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich couldn't afford them to buy but would be interesting to see if he comes in for a loan for AEG, Trez or Bidace. Or even Archer. He needs to get some goals from somewhere. I hadn't really considered that Dean might try and take somebody with him, even whilst contemplating that Gerrard may want some of his Rangers players with him here. Norwich already have Gilmour and Williams on loan from Chelsea and Man Utd, they are not allowed any more PL loans. It wouldn't surprise me to see him come in for Hause. But would Hause want to got to a manager that didn't play him? Theer is talk that Forest are interested in Hause EDIT: Apologies, I see this was already posted Edited December 18, 2021 by Peter Griffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 We're down to 4 players for our midfield positions. We need a signing in this department in Jan, ideally someone who improves the first team so a 6 who is better than Marv. We'll then get to summer with 6 players for midfield. Marv and Luiz will be into their final year of their contracts. I can't see us letting Luiz play out his final year so it's either he's sold or he signs an extension. If Sanson performs well I can't see him leaving, while McGinn & JJ are going nowhere. I can see us giving Marv an extension as he's a valuable squad player. So I'd predict come end of summer we've 2 new midfielders and one player leaving. I think one signing in Jan and then one in Summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Burnley selling him to Toon in Jan. It would very much increase the chances of Toon surviving at the expense of Burnley.

Rashica to Villa, it just sounds right doesn't it. What sort of money is Hause worth? Is he 2m or nearer 10m. Transfer fees for a player with PL experience tend to command a few quid. I know his contract is up in June but TransferMarket says we have a 1 year option on that so we can extend till 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it depends on how Gerrard sees him. Might not be ideal to just have 2 CB's going into the summer if Hause and Axel leaves. Then again it might be exactly what he'd want if he want's to bring in his own players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 24, at Super League side Liverpool and just signed a new contract this summer so that will bump up the imagined value a fair bit. And also add the Eddie Howe valuation on top Fwiw Transfermarkt has him as €8m as their guesstimation while Hause is €5m. Pinch of salt figures obviously but Hause is 26 and on an (for now) expiring contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
