I wouldn't want to get anywhere near that price tag....too risky. I don't think UE is going to build the team, in a way some think, its not going to be swashbuckling and all Gungho......Its going to be measured and in pursuit of winning football, which may mean, a bit more defensive/controlled than some envisage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Duncan Edwards for me. The signs were there, 2 seasons ago, but as you say, his development has been phenomenal. Its more to do with the TYPE of player he is, he will be the most sought after player, after the World cup.....he's already possibly our best player at 19.....jaw dropping. He has everything in a complete midfielder......I am not saying as good as, but even a player close to his style, would be nifty. I hope we sign an Authority, like that.

We have got Ramsey, who is a poor man's Bellingham atm. If Ramsey can improve his weaker areas then he can have a similar impact for us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get rid of a few midfielders before we should think about signing another one. add to the fact that A Ramsey & Tim are also coming back next year. Without any outgoings, that's 9 senior midfield players for 2 or 3 spots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I'd rather, if we are making that sort of money available, splash the cash on improving the overall squad. Sign 2, possibly 3, players that will add needed depth. I'm sure for £25mill a pop we could upgrade in numerous positions. Other clubs have proved you can be shrewd, especially in the European Market. We seem to be getting on that wagon now, Kamara was a hell of a signing & I think Bailey could prove to be too. Also, I'd take a punt on Embolo. He's a powerhouse, almost a better version of Keinan Davis, and a player that probably would come here and not kick off if he's not playing every game.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) This " ridiculous" link seems to be growing legs. I think it was always eventually in the pipeline to start going " big " on one or 2 every year now as opposed to churning the same way. Now we've got the Manager, I reckon Nassef will start to flex muscles. Think we underestimate his strength as well. Surely we have at least 4 - 5 disposable players we could get rid of which makes this look less dodgy. ( If at all ) ? We can then start promoting the creme of the youth as well.
