Maybe (hopefully) an opportunity to get rid of Osvaldo as part-payment? They have just bought Mandzukic though so might not be after another striker...

Badger Posted 20 June, 2015 Share Posted 20 June, 2015 Keeper is the position that worries me most at the minute and I really hope the club move quickly for a top quality player, we've done well getting some up and coming players in already this window but with Forster out I really think we need a proven option in goal. Ospina is a decent shout he had a good season for Arsenal by all accounts beyond that we need a cntre back which fingers crossed will be Toby but if he doesn't sign I'd hope we will look to bring in someone of real quality to play alongside Fonte. All gone quiet on the link to the Norwegian, Oyland, from a few weeks ago as well. Timo Horn from FC Köln as an up and coming young keeper who is good enough for the Prem until Fraser is back and is a great future prospect? As the new GK will be straight into the first team, I suspect we may seek an experienced one rather than one with 'potential' for the future, so perhaps Heaton remainds a likely contender, which would rule out the Norwegian as well.

They're only interested because he'll count towards the home-grown quota. That rule has created an utter farce to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this. It was put in place to promote clubs bringing through young players, it's just pushed demand and therefore prices up for very average home grown players, and they rarely play, ala Rodwell, Sinclair etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's more of a cheeky retaliation on Stoke's part for the low offer for N'zonzi. Stoke certainly have an eye for a player with who they've been linked with though. Fair play. Krychowiak is an interesting one. All the top teams seem to want him, much like they did with Big Vic. Wonder if he's one of those players that's actually gettable.

tajjuk Posted 22 June, 2015 Share Posted 22 June, 2015 I'm liking all our rumours today, £18 million for toby, either Clasie or Krychowiak for £10 or near £20 million and Austin at £10 million, add in A GK, plus the two signed, Morgan and Clyne out for £40 million that would be a great window. Around a £50-60 million spend with £40 million back (maybe a little for Osvaldo or at least clearing his wages, maybe £5-8 million for Gaston) and I think a much stronger squad overall. New GK. Cedric Toby Fonte Bertrand Wanyama Clasie or Krychowiak Mane Juanmi Jay Rod Pelle/Austin Then we'd have the likes of JWP, Targett, Read, Davis, Tadic, Yoshida, Morgan, Long, Gaston for squad options.

He was mentioned a little while ago by @GFN_France actually & seems to be part of the current merry-go-round of European defensive midfielder's. The short story was Marseille were interested in Idrissa Gueye, who had an offer from us (but only if we sell Morgan). Marseille could only finanace the move for Idrissa Gueye if they sell Imbula.
