I don’t think any elite forward is coming, mainly because there aren’t that many of them around. It will be an alternative to Richi because we don’t really have anyone.

Don‘t get your hope up guys.
These Inter cunts trolled us all last summer. They’re up to their tricks again !
If Dav is considered to be worthy of one of our 4 main CB slots this season then for the sake of 10m he is absolutely worth losing on a free next summer.
If Dav leaves we have Rom / VVD..... And then what?
Dier & Davies would get ripped apart at CB in this system.
I suspect we are thinking more like £25m and Sanchez, which probably wouldn’t get it done if they want £40m.
Sounds like this is taking off now though. I thought he was an important player for them but they seem to be willing to go, I’m assuming because of ffp.
Spence, Reguilon, Lloris, Ndombele, Dier, Sanchez, Tanganga, Hojbjerg, Lo Celso the potential outgoings still to come in rough order of likelihood of staying with a role in the team?
Winks, Rodon and Kane the only outgoings settled so far.
We gotta get some work done here.

Nah that’s the thing, I don’t think he is, but I am so thoroughly depressed by our lack of attacking options that I’m grasping at straws to find some positives.
But it could also mean we have spent 95m on Potentially two very less than stellar options for the same position.
I just think if we are spending 50m it should be on a player who’s nailed on to improve us. Are any of us convinced by Johnson?
It’s all gone quiet on Orban though hasn’t it?
I reckon we’ve dropped interest in him for johnson or he will only be got if we offload quite a few. I wouldn’t be surprised if we bought him and loaned him back out either.
He isn't, but being fast and right-footed he offers different options to Kulu, and I assume Ange has plans on how to use him otherwise we wouldn't be pursuing him.
He’ll hardly play. I think he’ll get bored of sitting on our bench waiting for an injury or a few minutes here and there as sub. Better to let him go in my view, he’s a bit of a moody sod as well by all accounts.

If we were looking to spend upwards of 50m on a winger that isn't very good at scoring, there are a lot of options. I'd love for us to get Pedro Neto. Absolutely top class in terms of workrate, dribbling, and retaining possession on his own, he's got a decent bit of pace and his short passing is good too.
His crossing is not great either, so actual end product would be relatively poor.
This is the thing, if we bring in another attacker he has to be good to be a starter. Is Johnson better than what we have? I think most of us would say no.
I maintain:
Keep:
GLC
Dav
Getting rid of either one now just creates squad weaknesses that we don't have time to fill.
Loan, Sell, Bin, Burn the rest as applicable.
....And FFS go and get Tosin!!!!
If you're investing huge resources to bring a player into the club you need to be confident you have a potential star, full stop.
There is a gigantic potential universe of players out there, you don't drop 40-50M just out of convenience.
Contra something like Solomon where he's there for free, why not take a punt.
Maybe five years ago. Anthony Gordon is another mediocre, rapid HG player and he went for 45m.
Is it the best use of resources? Probably not, but HG comes with a stupid premium.
I think Orban is something we know we can pull the trigger on and get done superquick so is now on the backburner subject to any other remaining activity.
Just doesn't add up, does it..... Someone at the club must have a serious boner for him, for us (!!!) to spend 50m on him.... Or on anyone if we're being brutally honest.
How much do Brighton want for Mitoma? If we can give them some players why not have a crack at him, he’s way better than some of the names on this thread.
That's the end of the inquiry for me.
We do not have the resources to fail to make the very best use of them.
I'm not sure why, but Howe and Newcastle clearly rate Gordon and view him as a big part of their future. If we don't feel the same about Brennan Johnson this move shouldn't happen.
