I'm so nervous some of the European giants will step in this summer and try and snag him from under our nose.

WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO BUY I THINKIs Romero a done deal?
I'm so nervous some of the European giants will step in this summer and try and snag him from under our nose.
A few of caveats which make getting 6 - 8 players in a little harder :
1. We need 3 players in who qualify as HG (we have vacant spaces in squad so no player sale required)
2. Decent prices for Ndombele and Lo Celso and other players we may decide to sell (eg Royal), loans without an obligation to buy at a decent price could screw up our finances to buy a replacement
3. I want the incoming players to be possible starters, even if they are not necessarily first choice, so its a high quality threshold.
I think to get 6 players in is tough but achievable but to get 8 in will need a lot of things to go our way - and I'm assuming that if Gil is part of next years squad he counts as one of the incoming 6 or 8 players, Sarr I suspect needs another loan.
"we we are only likely to be able to bring in maybe 6 or 8 players...."
RWB #1
LCB #1
CM (starter quality)
ST #2
GK #2
+ Eriksen as an easy deal = CAM / CM / WFwd option.
If can we get all these done we should call it a day and see where we're at in January.
I'm sceptical we will be dipping our toes in any of the secondary level European leagues this summer. I think Conte will want us going for players who can slot straight into the starting XI and that will mean players from here, Italy or Spain.
gakpo seems diff to bergwijn taller, more of ronaldo mouldSerious question: why would we sign one of these players if we have Bergwijn? We need class, players like Dybala, Nkunku. Gakpo won't take us anywhere, except midtable, honestly.

can operate as a striker in addition to lw
not top of priorities but thought i would share
it's an option...Still it's down to us so no need to worry.
:hugoshock:


hope you get better soon mate, a good lwb option is angelino from leipzig can cross the ball well not as pacey as reg tho but he makes up for it with other thingsI think we're all in agreement that while our team is taking shape nicely, we're desperate for more quality at wing-back position. I only see Doherty as a back-up player, while Reguilon is worth persevering with but definitely needs to improve. Not sure who's out there that we could realistically look to sign in the summer? People have mentioned Lamptey, myself on occasions, but he hasn't really impressed of late and is also rather injury hit. I'd say he's definitely someone who has potential but is also far from the finished article. Palace's Mitchell is someone that has caught my eye more than once this season, but I'd like to see how he does next season which can be much more difficult for players who have made a breakthrough. So who else do people have in mind?
P.S, Been diagnosed with good 'ole Covid today, so be nice to me. Feel free to ask for my PayPal.
Im confused. Why are people pretending we’re bringing 6 players in ?

What was your point? Sorry if I offended youIf you read properly.... That wasn't my point.
btw, we signed 5 this past summer, so you needn't act so smug about it.
