@Kish_P14 Yeah I don’t understand why we are prioritizing a position where we have so many players when we need upgrades on the wings and the forward areas.
Tonali’s great but I wouldn’t say he is an urgent need, especially not for the $100mil being quoted.
@simonyemane I can see why he wants to leave. We are after 2 new signings who play in his position and he has Gallagher, PMS and Gray ahead of him (based on the last few games of last season). Perhaps a sale with a buy back clause will be best for all parties.
@EJack52686301@RudolphN17 I don’t disagree with that. But just don’t understand the logic of going after 3 similar players in one window. As long as we have enough in the bank to get those 2 wingers and striker, I’ll be happy.
@mbkdabdali@RudolphN17 I agree on Solanke. RDZ will likely use him like he used Wellbeck at Brighton. But we really need players who can actually score and create chances. That’s been our struggle over the last 2 seasons.
@GaryRWard I would be more inclined to the signing but he didn’t exactly excel at Newcastle. No doubt the system played a part, but for the price that Newcastle is quoting us, wouldn’t Wharton make more sense as that fluid 6/8?
@simonyemane I don’t get it either. If we had 85mil, why not go for Wharton? At the moment, it feels like clubs are treating us like the new Chelsea and quoting us crazy sums for their players.
@GaryRWard Agreed that another loan will be beneficial for his development. Same as what happened with Kane and (ahems) Saliba. And if he develops as we hope he does, he’ll come back and challenge Van Hecke ahead of Danso.
Selling him simply sends the wrong signal to all young players.
@simonyemane Quoting us a crazy sum for a player with a year on his contract and lowballing us for one of Europe’s upcoming stars…sounds like blackmail to me and they hold all the cards (if it’s true he already agreed terms).
@GaryRWard I really like that RDZ is hitting all the right notes with the fans at the moment. Such a welcome change from the “the fans can feel what they want to feel” lines we got from Ange and Frank.
