Who do you fancy we get?
I said this before it was reported.
Someone pretty high up at the club has mouthed off about him to a few people. Geezer talks a lot but to be honest his position at the club leads me to believe he's not talking shit.
De Zerbi wants him for the left sided spot, that's who he wants as the number one target.
Tbf I do not watch enough international football to really have players in mind. But I can judge a bit the Bundesliga players.
We need some certain starters in attack who are already delivering the numbers. We have enough potential players.

Not bothered by the wages.
Squad places is the issue imo. Have to get that right
Proven quality player. Great attitude. Definitely worth a 90 million bid. Forest need to balance the books
It's Barcelona, with very good players, and where they are often on the front foot.
It's also at a stated 'dream club'.
I agree with your summary but would go nowhere near him.
Not achance he goes to that lot.
Good Lord, now we are in silly season. Avoid both for different reasons.
I would definitely take Rashford. He can play CF and LWF and scores goals. Plus he will have a point to prove in the PL.
His wages are a big issue though.

Leao, Rashford and Marmoush would be good signings for where we are right now. The others? meh
No signings will please everyone.
We wont sign barcola, yildaz, diomande so our options are limited.
I think it's uber important that we get the next set of signings right, be that permanent or loan signings. It won't be easy.
Getting the right profile of player is probably harder than anything else.
We are all going to differ on the players we need to sign but I think posters should cite why they want to see certain players at the club, and why they disagree with some suggestions.
On Leao I don't see a player who is going to come into the PL, and into our set-up and provide the added difference.
It's just an opinion.

THE most important thing for us in this window, is bringing in players that will guarantee goals and assists to our front line.
We've not replaced the goals lost from Kane or Son (or Dele for that matter) and it's a huge reason why we're struggling to win games. I think in recent years we've been too focused on bringing in players that are good to watch as opposed to effective in front of goal.
United finished 15th last season and the only noticeable changes they made to their squad were bringing in Mbuemo, Cunha and Sesko - which has effectively made them a Champions League side.
..and that is why shelling out £50m+ for Savinho (2 goals in 50+ Prem appearances) would be huge mistake.

All I mean is that they didn't end up at Dag&Red or on a Skipp/Winks trajectory. Sitting on the bench in your formative years is a career staller, but both of them have arguably had better careers than the players Poch was giving mins to regularly (for example - Winks, Onomah).
Hitchen was given the freedom to select players like that (as a 'French Expert' or somesuch) after people used to moan about the club not having such autonomy, and the mismanagement of it was really at managerial level (Poch being at odds with not having full control).
I think people don't watch enough football, or are purposely ignorant, of how few of other clubs signings are actually that good. Especially the bigger ticket ones. But in reality, a lot of our so judged "bad signings" are ones that never really got a chance - but it isn't really just them; since the Poch era the club has just been awful at giving players a chance and in two badly hit injury seasons it's really staggering how we've resorted to either playing crap senior players or flogging them in to injuries where other teams like Liverpool, Man Utd, Woolwich etc have given academy players some faith. It's a minor miracle that Grey and Bergvall were able to benefit from the injuries or else they'd probably have had fleeting minutes
Who are youre suggestions then.
Its not as easy as just plucking the 3 top scorers of clubs that are not at big clubs and buying them is it? We tried that one with solanke.
We should be really, it always has a knock on affect to the rest of the team
