How Dry should our Powder be?

Solanke is fine don’t get me wrong but basically all of him, Neto, and Eze will cost silly money. Price of doing business with PL clubs especially for English players. There’s no chance we can fork over money for all 3 of them.

Surely someone from the continent is available that’s a little more reasonably priced.
 
He's cheaper. Dan loves a bargain.

Also makes sense with the timing in that we had to wait until he was done at the Euros etc.

Maybe there is a spanner in the works now though with the injury to their replacement.
Depends what they both want in wages.

Say Toney is 45m and wants a 5-year deal at 175k a week, that’s 90m all in.

Say Solanke is 60m and he’s so desperate to play in Europe and make the England squad he’ll take 115k. Puts the deal at £89.9m…
 
Its a definite improvement, albeit an unenthusiastic one.

We'd have improved our back line, midfield and attacking options in one window, whilst getting rid of pretty much every useless player in the squad.

But you're also bringing in two players who have suffered injuries, an 18 year old unproven Championship prospect and a back up left back.
We don’t need Ramsey we need eze type or eze himself. Why we wasting time on someone who doesn’t get into our starting 11. I’d rather keep Gio.
 
yea hes defo a decent player, just not sure that hes at a level where he would improve us. id rather stick with richy if thats the options.


the number 9 has been on a decline for a long time, pep one of the big reasons for that. when you got players like lukaku going for 100m you know there's a serious drought on quality.
Richy can’t even get himsell Fit for a pre season stroll - anything over 4M is a good fee to get that freak off the payroll

Honestly a worse investment than that div Gilberto - what is the noun for a collection of shit, overpaid footballers? Levy’d
 
I’d be over the fucking moon with all 3
Sure but that will cost, conservatively, something like £150m. Likely even more with add-ons.

Each of those PL clubs will demand huge money, the rumours for Eze and Neto already in the 60m range.

No chance Bournemouth lets their English 20-goal-a season striker go for cheap.

This is what I mean when I say Redknappian transfer window. Everyone knows that these players are good for the PL, they're Prem-proven household names from mid table clubs. Random bloke down the pub could've suggested all 3. Problem is they're all under contract and PL clubs ask for silly money for Prem-proven talent..

What are we paying Lange for exactly? This isn't unearthing a hidden gem, it's the 3 most obvious attackers in the entire league lol. Levy will not be pleased. He does not like paying over the odds and above all else he hates losing a negotiation.
