…and Vlasic.
-
He won’t - he’ll be a first team option… probably (hopefully) alongside a more experienced option in addition to Calvert-Lewin.
-
No doubt, we’ll shake on 25%
-
With Gbamin, Gomes, Gray and Holgate all linked with moves away and even potentially Maupay, we’ve actually got a decent shot at ‘starting again’. These are the top names I’d sell/ let go as don’t think any fit or are of any use to us. Even getting rid of 3 in this window will be a bonus and give us some desperate wiggle-room for players who can actually move us forward/ be relied on.
-
We’d still need another - 100% but this could be an excellent signing.
-
As it stands: Gk - fine… maybe more experience to replace Begovic but Virginia seems a decent enough back-up. Defence - okay for the start of the season with Patterson, Tarkowski, Keane, Branthwaite, Godfrey, Young with Coleman and Mykolenko to return - could do with more cover but okay - need to shift Holgate. Central areas - plenty of options in Gueye, Garner, Onana, Doucoure, Iwobi and maybe Dele but need to shift Gomes and Gbamin but okay for now. Maybe bring in some quality when there’s more value in the market at the end of August. Wingers - good starters in Iwobi and McNeil - options in Young, Gray and Danjuma - pretty short in this area but we can probably wait until the end of the window. Strikers - the one area that needs addressing instantly - everything points to DCL here - with him, our system is fine, we’ll get the best out of other players - without him, we’ve got Maupay, Danjuma or Gray lost as lone strikers - they can’t do it in our system. We need a solution now - this is the one position that can’t wait. It doesn’t need to be the DCL replacement - that’d be great e.g Bilal Toure but someone like Che Adams could be exactly what we need in the meantime *Che Adams - he’s shite he is* - he’s not glamorous or exciting nor does he score a great deal of goals but he fits and allows us to develop a system bringing the best out of McNeil, Iwobi, Danjuma, even bringing midfield players in… look at our best performance last season vs Brighton - no goals from DCL but that link up play was incredible. Someone like Adams allows this - hopefully he’d just be a stop gap while we progress and improve and we ‘out grow’ him but he’d be a huge upgrade on Maupay, Danjuma, Gray, Cannon, Dobbin as a main striker in this system.

Samuel Iling-Junior

This one is moving quite quickly for us… by deadline day we may actually make a bid but we’ll run out of time… at least we got the info though. -
Harrison’s injured until at least September so getting him now wouldn’t make financial sense e.g extra wages. It’s not meant to be a high risk injury so hopefully we go for him before the deadline.

I don’t think he set the world alight at Leicester but it’s a big ask in a new league and a relegation battle and less than half a season to settle. I won’t be judging him on that.

I watched a bit of Brighton vs Brentford pre-season last night and Simon Adingra stood out in Mitoma’s role - looked incredible actually and scored 2 goals. Turns out, Brighton signed him last summer and sent him on loan to their sister club, just like they did the year before to develop Mitoma so that when they lost Trossard, they weren’t weakened! Proper, forward thinking football club! -
From the bits in pre-season, I’d say this lad is our brightest prospect in my opinion. Looks strong and has a bit of pace and a nice touch on him.
-
Man U seem to be getting deals done pretty quickly - unless something changes with Oshmein or Kane, I think the lad from Atalanta will be their main striking target and they’ll get it done quite quickly.
-
Kudus all over again when they signed Antony.
-
Hopefully we have a list of players in the same profile - Toure is supposedly very similar to Calvert-Lewin - exactly what we need… Iheanacho does not fit this profile! I’m not opposed to signing him in addition to another who must be a target man like DCL.
-
That’s that then!

Ismaïla Sarr

Just seen that - would have liked him here. I know Danjuma will play a similar role but still think we need another winger (along with Gnonto) in a similar mould to McNeil - Harrison from Leeds would be perfect in my opinion. -

I think we’ll be after Gnonto and at least one more wide player in addition to Danjuma, as Gray will be off and there’s still uncertainty over Iwobi with that contract still unsigned. I like Sarr a lot - think he’s the perfect profile for right wing in a Dyche team with his quality forward and energy back - at the right price (£10m ish as 12months on contract) he’d be a steal but he’s another player who’ll be off to the AFCON in January!
