Shukes Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 3 hours ago, Fosse Captain said: Not sure it’s the type of player we need. I know he’s ‘free’ so probably one of the reasons he’s linked. Prefer to see Alli in the team Exactly this. Ali is a much better player if we can get him on form. While Jesse can be a useful player when he is on top form, Ali is a useful player on average form.

c1982 Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 Dele, Lingard and Iwobi are 3 players that could work as a very creative trio behind the main striker - the understanding/flair/interchange would be incredible. It wouldn’t be a starting 3 very often but for those games away to the Watford’s, Burnley’s and Norwich’s (yes I know all 3 went down) - shite teams who we took 1 point off on the road - who historically, we just don’t break down as we don’t have that creativity to get in the right spaces do something different. Richarlison, Gray and Gordon are all very direct and that’s great but they don’t have the guile of the aforementioned players. Lingard would offer a very different option - the kind of player we need in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be too excited over this anyway, 29 and other than one good six months in London, has been very forgettable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we didn't have Ali on the books then maybe yes. But like you say - better off playing Ali and hoping his form picks up. If we are looking for s 29/30 free agent - then go all out for Eriksen, as he is a better proposition in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fosse Captain Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 This is the kind of signing that has put us in the situation we are in. Approaching 30 after a comfortable existence at a bigger club. Massive wages. And huge question marks about ability / desire / attitude. The Everton retirement home still open. Come and get your last big contract here. Would never have got England caps if didn’t play for Man Utd Gwlad and Sibdane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve got enough of those already, primarily Gordon and Gray, if they could pass and cross better DCL would have a field day, and that’s what we need to see this season.

Bailey Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 These summer window rumours just feel a bit too Harry Redknapp like for me. Although Paul Merson would probably still be an upgrade on our midfield! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Blue Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 We are skint. He is a better option than Townsend. Played well for West Ham, would probably play well for us. He is on a free and will be on less wages than Richy was. As long as its a 2 year deal with an option for a 3rd.

FairWooney Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 I'd go 2 years with an option in 3rd if we were signing him to avoid being stuck with him for 3 if he's not doing the business. Not completely against him but it's not the direction I want us to be going in general. Rather see younger players coming in. If we Don't pay out too much on wages he does give us a proven Premier League option who knows where the net is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billwelshblue Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 It's ok saying he's free but guessing the signing on fee will be huge so its not very free, only good thing is it won't eat into our ffp wiggle doom as a free transfer. We do need a squad and assists/goals. Offer him an incentive based contract with two years and a option on a third if he hits targets.

His signing on fee would still eat into our funds, you don’t get a pass because there isn’t a transfer fee. It’s about money spent, and we would still be spending. Just not as much as if we bought another player for say £25m. Billwelshblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
