But he would be good cover for NJ + Nkunku and probably he could play left/right as well given how Poch is playing those roles quite centrally and not really as wingers. it's why I rate him over Vlahovic for us removing all the other posters did, plus Wirtz ATM my top top targets left are simple SS João Félix Wingers (assuming Barcola is off to PSG) Pedro Gonçalves Nico Williams Nicolás González CF (Osimhen is not moving this window) Randal Kolo Muani (nearly done deal with PSG) Dusan Vlahovic Jonathan David Edited August 27, 2023 by Vesper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it’s kinda crazy that nobody knows what or who we’re targeting. Every attacking player we’ve been linked with looks off the table now: Kudus —-> done to WH Balogun —-> done to Monaco Doku —-> done to City Cherki -—> Lyon are adamant that he must be kept Barcola —-> priority target for PSG and apparently really fancies going there Johnson —-> likely and thankfully going to Spuds There haven’t been any genuine links to anyone else. I’m starting to think that there’s a greater than 0% chance that we bring João Felix back. He now knows the league, knows our club, won’t need settling in time. The club may think he’s worth another chance in a more structured setup and under a better manager. Expand Removing all on your list (except obviously Felix) and Marco Verratti looks set to leave PSG. The club has agreed with Qatari Al-Arabi on a sale. (Qatar is now flexing after the Saudis started it) Here is a list of all options available for creative MFers, Wingers, and CF/SS still left on the table and remotely doable this late (so no giant, methodical club like Bayern for instance) SS João Félix Wingers (assuming Barcola is off to PSG) Pedro Gonçalves Nico Williams Nicolás González CF (Osimhen is not moving this window) Randal Kolo Muani (nearly done deal with PSG) Dusan Vlahovic Jonathan David How about this amine gouiri guy... Do you rate him? Is he gonna be a very good buy for us...I seem to want him here due to his goalscoring ability now nkunku is out....hopefully Jackson and Sterling keeps banging them in while someone like him can contribute as well...

If wirtz was 50m, it would be a no brainer even after injury imo, totally worth a gamble then, but in this day and age? If he was 45m even Brighton would have thought about going for him just to flip him for profit. He will never go for less than £75m imo, unless he has a release clause ofc.

I have listed him a lot, he is not a top tier want of mine, but is an option, I do not dislike him, might be worth a gamble IF a fair price would rather have J David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn’t be a terrible choice but 250k pw for a rotation / backup that underwhelmed before would be a bold move. Maybe if he agreed to play on half that.

Besides under poch I think he can be even better than last season And you're right it is a gamble but that's the nature of transfer business.

Vesper 30,164 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 The single stupidest sentence of the window: However, whether Chelsea would want to do business with Man Utd again after already losing Mason Mount to them on a permanent deal this summer remains to be seen.

Aye we have enough inconsistencies and unknown quality in attack without resigning somebody who blew hot and cold for 6 months on huge wages and a huge loan fee. Also the links to Barcelona, they aren’t even concrete. He said he wants to go there but financially, it is going to be impossible. And even then, the links mainly come from Cancelo and Ansu Fati having the same agent, one player who Barca are trying to sign and one they're trying to shift. Plus Atletico and Simeone don’t want Felix. So considering Mendes has a good relationship with Deco, the sporting director, Felix needs a move, its easy to see where these links come from. Not actually been anything on Barca’s end saying they want him or are going to make an offer. Villa have made an offer for him though apparently.

Pizy 18,897 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 At this point my only hope is that when the name of the player we try to sign is revealed at some point this coming week I’m not asking “who?!” Or worse, we try to get someone who’s well known but super underwhelming. We need a legit difference maker for our attack. Not just a body to make up the numbers. Like, if we decide to get into a bidding war with the Tater Tots for Brennan Johnson and wind up paying £50m for him that would be extremely stupid and embarrassing.

mkh 581 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Lyon starlet Rayan Cherki won't be leaving the club this summer, despite plenty of interest, according to L'Equipe. Cherki, 20, has been scouted by Chelsea, Newcastle United, Aston Villa and West Ham United, while Paris Saint-Germain made moves to sign him last season. The France U21 winger remains on the radar of all of the above, but Lyon are looking to hold on to him, especially if PSG manage to sign his teammate Bradley Barcola. Cherki likely won't be moving away from Lyon this season. (ESPN) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
