Might want to recalculate there mate.I reckon Gomes already knows where he will be playing next season, and I'm hoping it's us.
Even if money is tight we could do some really good business this summer.
KWP is available on a free transfer, could complete our FB rota with Porro, Udogie, and Spence (who I think is better on the left), and counts as club trained home grown.
Angel Gomes, also free, would complement Bergvall, Sarr, Gray and Bentancur (assuming we offload Bissouma). Counts as home grown.
Jonathan David, also free, would be greta competition for Solanke and can also play across the front 3 (assuming we offload Richarlison - who I feel may cement cult status with a matchwinner on Weds!).
Then for players requiring fees:
Bryan Mbuemo is reportedly avaiable for £50-60M and I'd be all over that - see him as an upgrade on Johnson and different to Odobert or Moore.
Lastly, Maxime Esteve from Burnley. Fantastic backup for Van de Ven, not quite as quick but left footed, stylistically very similar and a solid defender. Would probably need to pay over the odds @£25M as recently signed a new long term contract, but he has fluttered his eyelids in our direction recently.
Total cost of £75M
Free up squad space / wages / recoup the money by offloading:
Forster (released)
Dragusin (£25m)
Davies (released - join coaching staff?)
Bissouma (£20M)
Richarlison (£30M)
Werner (end of loan)
Gil (£15M)
Phillips (£5M)
Total income of £95M - making us a tidy £10M profit.
