Strike 7,486 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Matt Law on the London is Blue podcast - Lukaku is the most realistic striker option, Declan Rice is ahead of Tchouameni and Kamara in the DM list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valdo 583 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 If Lukaku doesn't work out, I would try and get Benzema for a year or two. If Real go for Haaland or Mbappe. Giroud / Kante / Hazard could put in a good word for us, and like how Thiago lifted our defense he might teach our strikers a thing or two.

Hakimi is class, hope were in for him, maybe try James in midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be us if Tuchel continue using the back three. I say Hakimi is an upgrade over James as a RWB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham will want at least £80m for Rice that is simply too much buy Aurélien Tchouaméni and have him pair with and/or learn from Kante We are supposedly putting a big in for £65m for Lukaku that is £70 to 85m less than Håland or Kane would cost we have such an CRAZY amount of players to sell, and other than Citeh, and PSG, everyone else is fucked financially (and us of course) those 2016 to 2018 insanely bad buys, non sales, botched sales, etc are really going to bite us in the arse hard if we do not sort some shit, players like Sancho, Bastoni, Marquinhos, Rice, and Camavinga (let alone Mbappe, Kane, Oblak, and Håland) are going to be crazy hard or more likely impossible to get in the gate we can try for Varane (RM will try and rape us even though he leaves on a free in summer 2022 if they do not sell this summer), but we may end up buying Maxence Lacroix IF Aouar is indeed only going for £25m, he is deffo worth a stab too Rodrigo De Paul is another class CMF/winger who was a huge reason Conte quit inter, and he is going for only around £30-33m I am still gutted that Silas Wamangituka blew his knee out and is out until October or so (and then of course it remains to be seen how damaged he is) he was the perfect Azpi long term replacement/depth for Reece at RB, RWB, RMF, RCB 1.89m, explosive pace (around as fast as Davies from Bayern pre-injury) look at his numbers for Stuttgart, hardly a powerhouse side LB is such thin pickings only 3 I really rate Theo Hernández (I so doubt AC Milan sells) his brother Lucas (Bayern will not sell) and then another reason Conte quit and my suggestion last year Robin Gosens , 1.84m, far faster than Alonso, and huge numbers for a pure LWB/FB 22 goals (20 of those league), 16 assists (14 league) the past 2 seasons on the cheaper side another LWB/LB who si even bigger (1.86m) and scored 7 goals in only 2500 minutes Edited May 27, 2021 by Vesper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,891 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Unless there’s a huge clear out that brings us huge money I can’t see another summer like last one. Like, unless we bring in something like £100m from sales it seems extremely unlikely we can afford Lukaku, Rice, and a fullback. We surely can’t spend £400m over two summers. I feel like we’ll get 1 marquee signing and a couple of squad additions to replenish what we sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is obviously a real market opportunity for us at present with most teams struggling financially and less competition for transfer targets. And with FFP relaxed/abolished (whatever situation it is currently in) it allows Roman to go aggressive if he wanted to and try and catch us back up in a much quicker manner than we would have likely been able to do pre Covid.

Pizy is not wrong though. Obviously Roman will splash that extra bit of cash to get us over the line if needed but all our summer purchases in recent years have been offset by the sales. So unless we know for sure that we'll get a good return by selling the deadwoods and players like Abraham, Loftus-Cheek, Kepa etc, it's unlikely that we'll spend big this summer. After all, don't forget about Roman's plan about making sure we're self sustainable and not just rely on his money. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukacow easiest striker to get out of Kane, Haaland, if we fail to get a striker we might decide to wait another year for Haaland. Rice favorite over the other 2 but isn't an absolute must like it was with Lampard. Right back a possibility to strenghten but not priority, Law thinks Hakimi would fit. Nothing will be done before Euros. Edited May 27, 2021 by R2D2 Jase 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
