Statement signings if we go up? (27 Viewers)

SleepyGinger · 2026-03-10T21:12:52+0000

Who would you want? I’d love Charlie Cresswell, think we shown interest before he went to Toulouse. Probably have to pay £20-30m now, not sure if it would be realistic.

viridisman · 2026-03-10T21:14:05+0000

That Carl Rushworth fella from Brighton.

ProfessorbyGrace · 2026-03-10T21:14:12+0000

Rushworth is a must.

Ian1779 · 2026-03-10T21:18:33+0000

We are never getting Rushworth unless Doug has added a cheeky obligation to buy clause.

SleepyGinger · 2026-03-10T21:29:05+0000

Yeah I think hell be Brighton number 1 next season

RoysterE17 · 2026-03-10T21:30:54+0000

Rushworth
Charlie Hughes
Jordan james

But you would think doug has been creating a shopping list with frank since january.

Possible loan for Harvey Elliott

HadjiChippo · 2026-03-10T22:20:13+0000

I’m ready for some flack here as I know he’s had some dodgy seasons, but if we can’t get Rushworth I’d look at Ramsdale. Apparently Newcastle might not take up their option on him with them looking at Verbruggen from Brighton.

Great shot stopper, was phenomenal until he wasn’t at Arsenal. Bit of a shithouser, still young for a keeper, and you’d think he’d be available when he returns to Southampton.

Ccfcisparks · 2026-03-10T22:45:40+0000

Harvey Elliott would be a good signin.

It wouldn’t surprise me if he has.

Trueskyblue20 · 2026-03-10T22:48:58+0000

Ben Chillwell and somehow convince Ruben Lofus-Cheek to give up Champions League and Milan to rejoin Frank….

Carlos Forbs and Cucuo Hernandez would be some real statement signings at the top of the pitch too

Feel like he’s a luxury player

I keep annoying my Italian Milan supporting mate at work by saying I wouldn't be surprised if Frank tried to get Loftus-Cheek

Not sure. Hes a hard worker, can play in CM, CAM and on the wing.

Agreed, and I can’t see us dropping the £40 million that would be required, Plus probably very high wages, and some bad injuries in his career already with this season being a write off for him due to other circumstances.

David O'Day · 2026-03-10T22:53:20+0000

I'd like us to buy Ipswich, the whole town just to rub it in

Mr.Chilled · 2026-03-10T22:56:12+0000

Chill out man

They wouldn’t ask 40m. The villa clause is 35 and he’s barely played this season. He’ll be desperate to leave and be guaranteed a big role too.

Didn't realise his contract is up next year, his injury problems are a worry though regardless of fee, he’s barely played this season due to Villa not wanting to trigger the obligation, but he’s been on and off injured anyway (including currently)
Massive risk for a newly promoted side if he wants anywhere near 100k per week.

SleepyGinger · 2026-03-10T23:21:58+0000

I’d like us to do most of our recruitment abroad. Torp 2m, Hamer 1m, MVE 4m, Wright 7-11m, Sakamoto 2m. Feel like with a bigger transfer kitty and the premier league attraction we’d be able to find some gems.

skyblue025 · 2026-03-11T02:05:19+0000

Statement signing has to be a centre half.

Kilclines curly mullet · 2026-03-11T06:43:23+0000

How about we worry about this when we are mathematically promoted…

Sky_Blue_Daz · 2026-03-11T06:45:32+0000

Rushworth
Josh Acheampong from Chelsea
Peck from Sheffield United and a 25 goal a season striker please

We would need far better than Charlie Hughes and Jordan James, the latter looks a good prospect though.

If unable to get Rushworth, James Trafford.
Tyrell Malacia at LB.
Harry Wilson RW. Out of contract.
Franculino.

PUSB-We_are_going_up · 2026-03-11T08:01:11+0000

Seen Loftus Cheek mentioned would love if we could convince him to come to us, maybe a cheeky bid for Esteve at Burnley? Quality left CB

Peck!

PUSB-We_are_going_up · 2026-03-11T08:04:05+0000

Wouldnt be a statement but I wouldnt mind Harrison Armstrong in as a squad player in the DM as a backup to Frank the tank

Harry Wilson would be an unbelievable signing.

Cally Fedora · 2026-03-11T08:20:55+0000

Crikey. I think there is going to be a shock if we go up as to how big the wages we are going to chuck around are going to be.

PUSB-We_are_going_up · 2026-03-11T08:24:06+0000

Wilson surely wouldnt leave Fulham for a relegation battle would he? A bigger club would definitely take him on

Hobo · 2026-03-11T08:28:59+0000

We will need at least four with substantial or decent Premier League experience.

Bringing in players from Europe may mean it takes too long for them to settle. Especially as the first season up is probably the hardest to stay up.

MAFF · 2026-03-11T08:32:41+0000

I think some people need to calm down.

Preference for me would be Ramsdale to Brighton in that case
