Answers on whom that may be is difficult and VERY expensive, JWP has been mentioned in the past and that is going to cost you 50m for an above average number 8 and no better who is world class at set pieces. Maybe that is enough for some people but I would want the promise of a bit more for that sort of money personally. I'd pay what ever Southampton want for him, if we want to progress, then we need to be more like city/Chelsea and bully them into selling. I'd go as much as 70 million myself Edited August 24, 2022 by Joshie2000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but that's how the top 4 got to where they are, if our owners want to compete they may have to, its great finding this unknown diamonds but they are very few and far between, I think we'd get him for 50 to 60 million, and considering we sold grealish for 100 we can't complain.

Pedro is a real talent, good deal for Ashworth/Newcastle. It was quite depressing when we were reported to be going in for Sarr while they targeted Pedro. I expect Ashworth to keep making good value signings just like he did at Brighton. While we seem to pick up random PL players who've reached their ceiling and thus become available or look like a bargain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man U supporting mate of mine was hopeful they would get him back - described him as brilliant and always played with some actual passion. Wouldn’t mind a bit of that within our ranks in place of one or two. Edited August 24, 2022 by Tayls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
