KWP and Eriksen???That looks like a depressing set of targets to me. Surely we’ll punch a bit higher. Apart from the obvious one that won’t happen it all sounds a bit West Ham.
Me personally, would call Forrest!Football is a 105 minute game now, he has a place in the squad as a runner to close games out and for certain battles
I totally get your point but we ain't ever gonna sign world beaters to play backups.That looks like a depressing set of targets to me. Surely we’ll punch a bit higher. Apart from the obvious one that won’t happen it all sounds a bit West Ham.

A young, promising goalie. A fullback who knows the club and can play either side. A highly-rated CB who can cover another position...and who's in Don Fabio's papers already. An old fan favorite who could teach Mads, Sarr, Bergvall & co a fair few tricks. A fast, technically gifted AM/FWD ready for the next level. Another promising youngun to deputise for our existing LW...who would cost a fraction of Timo's wages but probably pay similar dividends. When not read in isolation, I don't think it looks that bad, but just my opinion obviously.
Anyway it's all about that DM and ST/FWD, the biggest priorities...and getting two monsters. Of course, if we could also get an elite winger and WB on top of that, I'd happily take them. But I don't see Levy sign off on 4 expensive newbies. That's where my thinking was, that if we signed 8 players (I think we do need that many), 5 decent backups + 3 exciting starters would be realistic. Also we desperately need English players. My list solves that. And out of all my suggestions, only Eriksen is old, the rest are kids...which matches the club's project.
Who would you have on yours, my good man?
Could also be Miguel AlmironThat guy has such rave reviews as well. Might be a Udogie gem type signing.
Buongiotno…….unlucky with injuries this season but always fit ? Sometimes regular injuries start with just one bad season.I'd be rather pleased with:
- Backup GK: Patterson (SAFC) or Trafford (Burnley)...English, plenty potential...
- Backup WB: one of our own...KWP (he, Porro, Udogie & Emerson is a decent quartet)
- Backup LCB: Buongiorno from Torino...tall, strong, scores goals, gets clean sheets, unlucky with injuries this season (price will come down...happy Daniel) but otherwise always fit, can also play some LB
- Starting DM/CM: never gonna happen, but man I love that Valverde from Real
- Backup CAM: Bergvall probs not ready, ditto Devine so...I'd ask Eriksen if he'd fancy it for a year. Yeah he's 32, but massively experienced and can still do a job, plus great mentor for the kids (even to Mads)
- Starting RW: Gibbs-White
- Backup LW: Illing Jr or Bynoe-Gittens...either of them plus Brennan, MGW, Kulu and that's pretty decent options
- ST: Sonny is getting old, Richy is Richy...that Gyokeres lad does look worthy of a PL shot
Selection of wingers offers very little in the way of any of them being high scorers.I'd be rather pleased with:

KWP knew the club, he wouldn’t recognise it now.I totally get your point but we ain't ever gonna sign world beaters to play backups.

Almiron ain't elite, but he ain't shit either. Since Newcastle have got a good manager in and some proper PL players, he's been pretty good for them. Scored a few, created/assisted a few, and he runs his ass off. This season's been tough on the entire NUFC team, but at times he was excellent. That game he had vs PSG in the CL, that was solid.Could also be Miguel Almiron

No expert but think Soule has a higher ceiling. That said, could also turn into a new Lo Celso or even Coco for us...undeniable talent but can't stay fit and/or produce the goods on a regular basis. Lamely scored 15 for Roma the season before joining us...never got close to that in a Spurs shirt.
Makes me wonder a bit about ange I'm afraid...Watching Connor Gallagher playing for England. We can’t be seriously thinking of buying him, he’s just a runner. Nowhere near good enough for what we want.
