Transfers - Summer 2024

[SheringhamNo10]

MG-W has the advantage of being home grown though.

It's being claimed that Newcastle might have to consider selling Guimaraes in the summer to meet PSR.

100% TQ.

I meant MGW being a backup to Paqueta for City.

I’d take the younger homegrown MGW over Paqueta all day long.

Paqueta is a class player (no question) and would fill the void Gundogan left at City for sure but (like you) I think MGW would fit like a glove in our new set up.

If we bought MGW, it would probably be one of only 2 major signings of the summer. He is contracted until 2027 so we'd be paying top dollar.

I’d very much welcome the signing but can’t see it this summer.

We definitely need another 6 type midfielder. I know Ange wants all his midfielders to be able to switch and be comfortable but that doesn’t detract from us needing someone capable of getting their foot in a breaking up play.

We also need a CF and LB.

Those will probably be the priority positions. Anything else will be a bonus.

I like the look of Calafiori. He would be good cover for both VdV and Udogie.

Worth browsing through....if a little unrealistic. SLD posted this in the women's thread where I found it.

Tottenham’s Summer Transfer Window

As we head towards the final sector of the season for both the men’s and women’s teams, I thought it would be fun, with the transfer window opening in 10 weeks, to look at what coaches …

My choice for a number 6 from current PL players would be Amadou Onana, he is a real beast of a player, but I suspect there will be quite a bit of competition for his signature.

Very good player.

I watched the Ireland v Belgium game recently where he came on and played RCB.

He looked very comfortable there aswell which bodes well for Ange’s total football approach.

Yes, he was excellent in the England game playing the traditional 6 role sat in front of the 2 centre backs.

Yeah, we was proper angry that game. Really played for the win even though it was a friendly.

Never mind Muttley, with any luck United will entice Southgate away to make them great again!

I see Dewsbury - Hall (spelling), is being linked to us, anybody know anything about him?
Is he another Clarke or Rodon, good in the Championship but may struggle in the Prem?
Answers on a post card, preferably from somewhere warm.

Hmmm, he basically replaced Maddison at Leicester so not really what we need although he is a decent player with good goal and assist stats in the championship.

Hi Niall. I don't do postcards but here's a post from somewhere warm.
I don't know anything about him either so that's all I've got!

It's his work rate that convinces me. It's why i see such a bright future for Brennan as well.

Why do I get a niggling feeling that Bentancur will go this summer?

I'd say it's more likely we offer him a new deal. He's worth probably around double what we paid for him now.

Hope so.....good signs yesterday.

I'd say Bissouma more likely.

You'd think Sarr, Bentancur & Skipp will stay.

Bissouma and Hojbjerg likely to leave?

GK, LB, CDM, Forward are surely the 4 priority positions needed.

Are there any CBs available that have the pace and cool-headedness to play Ange's style of defense illustrated in this video?

Both Luton CBs?

That's an excellent explainer - the challenge now is how many times can you spot this tactical use in a game..?
