Players who we want to sign?

We should want to sign the calibre of Valverde. Or Wirtz. Or Mbappe. Players who are at the top of their game and also who will attract sponsors and new fans alike. Like Haaland has

Of course these players aren’t necessarily easily available or would cost a lot. But that doesn’t mean we accept an inferior player

If you are car shopping for a Mercedes and they are out of stock for a year do you then wait until available because that’s the car you think is the best fit or do you nip down to the car supermarket and buy a Mondeo or something else inferior because it’s available?

Spot on. It’s where we went wrong last summer - Bellingham went to Madrid and we started to panic and look at Nunes, Eze etc. Could we have gotten through this season without Nunes - absolutely!

They've had our pants down with this. Only 5million and we got Nunes. Bad bit of business on our part

I said in another thread, we’d have noticed no difference having Doyle playing instead of Nunes this season. Absolutely no difference at all.

Disagree. Doyle would have definitely chipped in with a goal or two and assisted from a corner

Not going by his stats at Wolves this season. No goals, no assists.

Doyle's played 25 games, those stats are shit.

Off to Bayern 100% with his manager probably.

100% or probably?

Which is it JC?

For what it’s worth I think Alonso is off to Bayern in a year, it’s probably why they were sniffing round Rangnick as a short term replacement.

But Leverkusen, although having just won the Bundesliga and look like they could do a treble as well, are still a relatively small club on a low budget. Who if offered big money now would be reluctant to pass over
