Or Ivan Toney?
OIT? ...Never heard that one before.
Yep Toney for me.
Squad is a bit of a mess so I'll probably lose track of who's out on loan or injured etc, but I'd be looking to pad out the squad with some of the talent and experience that's out of contract this summer
Bissouma and RKM are leaving (and hopefully not being retained)
I'd probably sell: Dragusin, Vicario, Romero, Udogie, Tel, one/both of Richarlison/Solanke, one/both of Sarr or Bentancur, Soloman, Scarlett, Veliz,
You'd half expect we'd get over £150m from that clearout
My 'out of contract' replacements:
Vicario -> Sommer
Romero -> Senesi/Konate/Stones (all ooC) OR christensen, who is HG
Udogie -> Andy Robertson
Tel -> Harry Wilson
You'd think we could muster up at least £150m for those, with Romero being a reasonable chunk. We could then reasonably expect to make 2 bigs buys for a CM (whether that be a Hackney or a Scott) and a stand-out talent up front and still satisfy a £0 net spent for the penny pinchers at board level (contacts aside)
I'd like to keep Palhinha but depends on cost etc
GK: Kinsky / Sommer / Austin or Gunter
LB: Robertson / Sousa^
RB: Porro / Spence*
CB: Vuskovic^ / Danso* / VDV / Davies* / Phillips^
CM: Bergvall / Gallagher / Gray / Maddison / Someone Special / possibly Palhinha
these are probably interchangeable but just for example
LW: Moore / Simons / Odobert
RW: Kulusevski / Kudus / Wilson
CF: new signing (someone top quality). possibly a free Dybala/Vlahovic as rotation, blood in Lankshear, Melia
Loan out: Min Hyeok, Takai etc
We could of course keep richi for his versatility and heaven forbid get someone like Vlahovic/Dybala for free to give some options and yet not completely rule out mins for Lankshear etc. Anyone who might think the younger players aren't ready should look at the mins we wasted on RKM and wonder if they could really be that bad.
Note: I still think we could do worse than pay Lewandowski a fuck ton for a season or two, even at 37, for what we'd get for Solanke

Sorry but I stayed clear of this thread for a while but where was this said?
I think it's referring to Venkatesham's attempt to verbally assassinate Levy at the end of the financial year
Just get the better player. They both play in the same area in midfield. It’s not like Scott’s a 10. He’s as good as a 6 or 8. De Zerbi likes simple but effective passing patterns, press resistance. Already said after the Leeds game he doesn’t like playing forward to quickly.
with Brighton he liked to bait the press, so you need ball manipulation, 1 v 1 ability, ball carrying and then simple but effective passing. After that.
I wouldn't mind having Kinsky stay as our #1 for now, he's been great in goal for us and I think is a big reason why we scraped through these last 7 games. I'd like to see Palhinha kept on. I think it's important that we 100% back De Zerbi with new signings that he wants but not I still can't trust this current ownership to put their money where thier mouth is.
I can't see us being in the running for any consistent top level goal scorers this summer and something we failed miserably to replace when we let Kane and Sonny go. I also don't want to spend shit loads of any budget we have on someone who has 3 or 4 good games at the world cup this summer.
Unless Harry brings it home for us

We'll be doing ok if we manage to sell Muani.
Once again we speculate
De Zerbi said or has intimated that he knows what is needed, which might be specific players, but most likely certain types of player
We don't. really know who that is as yet.
The world cup incredibly starts in 17 days, and it would be good to have sealed a couple of signings before Trump invites himself on centre stage.

Let's bring in Jonathan David. He's not a good fit at Juventus, and he would be a great fit with de Zerbi.
Sem Steijn anyone?
Seriously good AM
Seriously good AM
They're different players though.
Although I do think thwt De Zerbi can unlock a progressive pass out of Scott, Hackney is more natural at it.
Besides all that our current midfield is a bit of a mess, need to sort out who's going out first before we think of upgrading it.
Even if De Zerbi doesn't know it.
He been linked to Spurs:

You're on mute mate.
Depends on Bayern, I guess. Sounds like going back to Portugal is the player’s first choice. We will probably offer more, but still want a reduced fee, and it might depend on the player’s preference and how close Porto(?) can come to the asking price.
