I don’t know if you are right or wrong, I have only heard of Botman, I haven’t seen him play, so I can’t comment on his ability I just think in 2022 he is a better player than Gomez, young and plays both sides of centre back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think many players are over rated, by some. Niklas Sule, would be nice. I would have a Ron Vlarr, right now....I liked him. I generally stay away from Leipzig players I think they are over rated generally because of the system. As for Sule, I doubt anyone would leave Munich for Us.

It has a similar feeling to me as the Micah Richards signing did at the time. The bad injury, the loss of form, lack of playing time. Sometimes a player is never the same after such a bad injury. For the money involved, we would be daft to risk it in my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Gomez for me, doesn't dominate the position...not commanding enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 It's so annoying that it looks like Newcastle are staying up. I can see them **** up pre seasons by trying to purge teams like ours of our best players, whilst going after all our top targets simultaneously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I'm sure they would be looking at bigger players than our bunch of mid-tablers The worry isn't the " bunch of mid tablers ". It's the likes of the young prodigies. The likes of Coutinho. Even as far as current " fringe " players like Leon Bailey, Sanson, Traore which might currently seem like " no loss " but probably go on to improve them long term with a run of games and realising their true potential. Whilst weakening the others with ambitions of breaking to 6 - 10. Some of the ones which might be frustrated at a lack of game time ( Even though their form, age, injuries etc might justify it ) Multiply that by all the teams in the League. In general, you are right though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 They can sign Targett for 30m for a start, genuinely intrigued as to what fee we'll eventually agree to given he's started well up there and Howe will certainly want him full time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 We can generate some serious cash from player sales this Summer: Luiz - 25m McGinn - 40m Cash - 30m Watkins - £40m Targett - £25m Traore - £10m Trezeguet and El Ghazi - £10m combined. We have saleable assets and we can easily raise £100m if we want to. The prices above are completely random and I have no idea what the club would accept but they are tough ball park. We don’t even need to sell any of the players above if we don’t want to, but I imagine we’ll need to sell one or two on top of spending the 100m we’ll probably look to outlay. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of that list, I think we’ll probably only sell Luiz, Targett, Trez and possibly one of Traore or El Ghazi. I think that will bring in about 55-60 mil.

VillaChris Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Would rather sell Ings than Ollie tbh. Still a place for Ollie here if he wants to stay although perhaps not as automatic starter. Ings coming up to 30 now and really not doing enough to suggest he'll score 15-20 next season. Don't see McGinn going anywhere and would prefer to keep Traore and hope he can stay fit for longer than five minutes. Yes Trez, Targett, AEG and probably Luiz all moving on. We signed those four for about 55m in summer 2019 so interesting 3 years on if we can make a combined profit on them. Probably 60m ish given Luiz and Targett should be 20m + in valuations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Going by Watkins and Gerrard's comments yesterday and Ing's obvious delight at Watkins scoring , I dont think either Ings or Watkins are going anywhere. Gerrard wants to play them both and said so. Us switching between two number 9's and two number 10's depending on the opposition seems pretty good to me. Hopefully it works out. Going searching for a new striker is expensive. Having any of our excellent prospects or even Davis as rotation next season would make me very happy. We could spend big on the areas where we obviously want to spend big. Coutinho and a DM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an idiotic idea to play both when we have so much talent in Coutinho, Buendia, Bailey and Traore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the first part I actually think we could stand up well enough to them at this point. On the second, yes, definitely in the market for some of the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I don’t think Gerrard thinks that at this point, I think he’s planning to sign someone and TI may be loaned out, but I have a feeling. And we all know a random fan’s feeling on a message board carries a bit more weight than the manager!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
