Transfer thread

But factually correct though 🤣
I rate all these players because the are very good
Not sure where cunha would for fit for us
Mbuemo is class and would be great
Lee imo has joined psg at a time where others have came in and took the place he would have wanted. He looked a top player in the making in Spain and is another who plays with his head up (rare for wide players imo)
Can see him going to a decent side and people going he is the next Sonny
Mbuemo and Cunha would both be first choice players for us.
 
Absolutely not denying that PL experience can be valuable. But I think profile fit, quality and mentality are way more important.

We've made quite a few signings of non PL proven players in recent years who've settled in really quickly. VDV, Udogie, Bentancur, Kulusevski etc. We've also seen PL proven players move elsewhere in the PL to a system/team where they don't fit as well and struggle.

Yeah and we know Ange is big on that, as I’m sure most managers would be.

I always think it’s much more evident with goalscorers whether they settle or not from abroad. Your Salah’s, Mbuemo’s, Isak’s are like gold dust. We’ve not really had someone put up numbers from outside the prem since Son. Deki may go up again but suspect he’ll play more central when fit and won’t ever get past 10 goals.

I haven’t got all the names but we’ve tried a fair few. Having said that, even our prem signings in that department haven’t set the world alight. Richy/Solanke.

That’s a problem we need to solve quite quickly wherever we sign from. Son’s numbers are only going to go one way. I think we’ve seen the ceiling of Johnson’s numbers. Solanke I just don’t think is quite good enough to get us back up there (although he has shown bigger returns at Bournemouth - but that’s looking like an outlier).

We need to add goals - either up top, or in the LF/RF area.

Your wide Prem candidates with good numbers are Bowen, Mbuemo, Cunha.

Those that could go up again from 8-10 to maybe 15 goals are probably Mitoma, Semenyo. Maybe even someone like Madueke.

Outside of that - you’re looking abroad. And I think someone else made a good point - there’s just a far bigger pool of players to choose from and they are going to be cheaper than those mentioned above. That’s where Don P has to get it right.

Madueke would be an excellent signing (insert qualifiers about being able to afford, sign etc). Mitoma too of course, but would probably be massively expensive.
