But we were linked with a lot of those players in the summer and it didn’t come through. Wouldn’t expect it to happen in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see Buendia be that player; just not sure if he is. Him aside, I don’t see the profile of player needed in the squad at present. Hopefully Unai can improve individuals accordingly to give us that player but we can’t rule out the fact that a squad addition may be needed.

Digavilla Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Almost all of top 6 have a creative no 10 that will have higher chance of unlocking low blocks : Ars/Odergaad Liv/Salah, Elliot City / KDB, Silva, Foden. Spurs /Maddison, Lo Celso, Toons / Guimaraes With Buendia still months away, and if we don't have FFP room to buy, any if our kids still step up? Louie Barry, Kellyman etc ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diaby was supposed to be that player but has fallen short so far. It’s an area that needs addressing but one I don’t think we will be reaching for in January with inflated prices.

Nah, Diaby has never been that type of player, he's more of a Bailey or Saka or Doku type than a Buendia, Grealish, Ödegaard or Maddison type. He's been about making runs and progressive carries and receiving through balls rather than being the one who delivers them from what I've seen of him before moving here. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Emi, Pau, Kamara, probably Ramsey, probably Carlos, probably Digne/Moreno are all top 4 players. We need a young Coutinho who has a bit of magic/top ability in and around the penalty area. Eze/Olise/Neto or Mitoma are the kind of quality we will need if we want to get higher.

sne Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Shame the likes of Barella, Musiala, Xavi Simons and Wirtz might be a bit out of our price range and already at big clubs Baena and Kubo looks promising and maybe a little bit more realistic-ish. Nico Williams I really like but he's a different type of player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 So? In the words of Bob Paisley, " Good players are never available, you make them available" Now is the 1st time in a long time that we might be able to get these type of players. They will both become top top players. Get them now before they are out of our reach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burchy Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Eze’s a Landen boy so wouldn’t move North. We were rumoured to have been interested when he went to Palace and the reason he went there was to stay in London. Wirtz or Simons is the type of player we need but they’re unattainable as Wirtz especially is a 80m+ player. I've always liked Cherki but doubts about his work rate and mentality. I would have said Guler before he went to Real Others with potential include Glouhk, Moleiro, Ketelare, Doue, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
