Who will the 'statement' signing be we've all been crying out for?

With Jadon Sancho being touted for a move to Utd - why don't we throw our name in the mix?

 

[pablo]

I like the lad at QPR. Think he could step up, probably with Spurs.

Dries Mertens

Dries Mertens

He’s been some player but he’ll be 33 by the start of next season.

Because it would be a financial desaster and we can't spend 150million€ on one player. And he would never join us anyway. I guess your suggestion is sarcasm anyway

David Neres is someone I would like us to sign and we need a right sided player.

Dunno if we can get him here though.

He won't cost 150 million euros mate.

I'm not being sarcastic, either. It's well known Moshiri wants a 'marquee' signing - Robinho esque. He tried to Costa and even told Giroud that number 9 was allocated to him.

I don't think we'll sign many players at all this summer. 3 or 4. We could still spent £150/200m on those players, though.

 

[Mike]

Jadon Sancho will cost £100m+ and about £300k per week

Marcel Brands said at the AGM signing players (Zaha) for that amount isn't realistic.

There is still so much garbage at the club earning mega money, we have to get rid of it!

Agree to an extent. But if we can shift Tosun and Niasse and have him, DCL, Kean and Richarlison as our CF/LW options, I think we'd be in good stead.

He knows Ancelotti and could hit the ground running assuming tactics are similar. I'm just hopeful we can lure some Napoli players here - him and Koulibaly would be boss.

Plus he's out of contract so could save some coin.

I’d love Federico Chiesa for the Right Wing spot. 22yo Italian with already a lot of experience nationally and domestically. He’s quick and is a grafter which will work here under Ancelotti in this system. That would be an absolutely massive statement signing at not too prohibitive a fee.

CHELSEA IN TALKS TO SIGN ZIYECH FOR 38M.

can help but think its 3 years too late on him , hes got to the point where hes too expensive and would want too much money for us to sign

I would never doubt Mertens’ ability. I just don’t think signing a would-be 33 year old on probably a 2/3 year deal on potentially north of 100k per week wages is the correct strategy for us.

yep, same a unnamed player really, too old and on too much wedge at this point in time for us..

his form would be tailing off rather than ramping up..

 

[bluerinse]

He's a great talent. I also think Kalvin Phillips at Leeds would suit us down to the ground in the middle of the park.

 

[Consayblue22]

Think there are some really promising young players in the championship we should take a gamble on, look how DCL has turned out after all.

But as for marquee don't really know, just hope they are young enough to improve more Kean and Richarlison type signings and less unnamed player type please.

 

[boris]

I think we’ll spend big on fees but the players we do sign will be on relatively low wages in relation to there fee.

This probably means we’ll go big on young players like Moise Kean, Richarlison, Iwobi who all fit that criteria.

 

[SteveEFC89]

As the positions we desperately need a quality addition in are so few I think we’ll see some big fee players come in, more than if we needed 8 players. 3 over £35m+ purchases along side 2 or 3 10/low teen purchases, possibly even 2 loans 1 permanent.

Ollie Watkins got to be worth having a look at ..

 

[SteveEFC89]

His wiki states he “describes himself as a No.10”. We don’t need a player like him. We do however need a new prime minister. Get him in!
