I suppose you could spend a bunch on a left winger you think is going to score goals and play Wirtz false 9 and try and find a big striker next year. But if the longterm plan is to play Wirtz off the left (which it might not even be mind you) then you have spent two damn Grealishes on guys you want to play the same position in one window. Just sign Retegui and push the boat out for Wharton iyam
*fires up euro to pound conversion* That’s £110m and less than Caicedo. Glad to see we are doing it the right way unlike Chelsea.
I’d expect a non home grown player or two to go before Kerkez is confirmed. I hope for Diaz that Barcelona can pay what we want. Cause he is too good for Saudi and that seems to be have been his dream all along.
As the season was wrapping up he was supposed to get a new contract, but it seems like we certainly won't stand in his way to get more money elsewhere. If we have to prioritize outgoings in order of get the fuck out I'd have a few In front of him.
But we are about to pay £110m for a guy to likely play in his best position. And he is in demand enough to do it fast cause the Saudis won’t dither and force Barcelona’s hand.
We got Mac Allister so it worked out. But I’m still annoyed we didn’t try and sign Vitinha when he left Porto, then panicked and signed Arthur Melo on loan to play ping pong while we had a bottom five midfield. That was fucking fun
Feels like we could’ve gotten more but if that’s where Kelleher wanted to go he has earned the right to go where he wants iyam
I’d rather pay £55m for him than £75m+ for one of the guys from the Bundesliga tbh. Sell Darwin and Jota and get him and some young kid like that Greek fella we liked who is going to Brighton.
Love Kelleher. Was a great #2 for us and deserves this chance to be #1. Also glad he went to brentford, they’re a fun team to watch.
