Transfer thread

We've got something like 42 over 21s on our books. 4 will be gone automatically when their contracts expire this month (Maunai, Palhinha, Davies and Biss). We need a net reduction of at least 15 though. De Zerbi is known for preferring a tight 2 for each position squad.

I think Davies will be here next season.
 
fudge me. Antonio Nusa with another magnificent game for Norway. If we want a left sided forward, he's the one to get! The way he runs with the ball is incredible! And he can cut inside and shoot, dribble past like Messi, go outside and cross, and he changes it up all the time. Defenders have no clue what he's going to do!
Seriously disappointed if we don't try to get him!
Norways 2nd choice, Andreas Schjelderup wouldn't be bad either, but Mourinho will probably bring him with him from Benfica to Real Madrid.

We missed a massive trick not signing him when we had the chance.
 
I agree with you in several senses, and am personally a HUGE fan of both Bergy and Sarr. Your point about chaotic is on point; Bergy was superb for us in Ange's last season, beyond his years for sure. The risks of cashing in on them would be huge, no doubt whatsoever. I just have a feeling that RDZ is going to make a couple of eyebrow-raising changes, and that perhaps they would be potentials?

I think the issue becomes keeping all happy. Palhinha, Gallagher, Bergvall, Gray, Sarr, Bentancur. If you include Maddison and Xavi in that core that's 8 midfielders on the books and an imbalance towards power over passer. I just don't see that holding for this season, and think RDZ is going to want to bring at least one or two in. I think (as stated) an Alex Scott would be great for us for several reasons, and I agree with @Bedfordspurs on his Wharton take. It is going to be really, really interesting to see what happens. Honestly, it could just be a really unfortunate balance v numbers game too!
I would be devastated if Bergvall was sold, his ceiling is really high IMO. I like Sarr, but could both understand and handle him being sold to be honest....
 
Wharton Scott Gray seems a little light weight in terms of pace and power in the middle of the park in the league, but it’s certainly an upgrade

In isolation I can see that, but blended into a pack which includes Gallagher, Palhinha and Bentancur, I can see various blends working well. It does -as some have said- leave us 'pass-light' to a degree/leaning a lot on Maddison. The type of passer I'd personally love to see is both hard to find and super-expensive, and if we are spending large on a couple, I'd go all in on a CF. Maybe we can get Gonzales AND Barcola from PSG, there again, maybe I will win the lottery!!!!!
