Statement signings if we go up? (18 Viewers)

[Sick Boy]

Probably about 25M tbh, as we'd have to seek a ready made replacement whether we went up or not as a lot of our play is based around our midfield?

Assuming we could get that sorted, I think last night's match shows we need to break the bank on bringing a striker in in the summer, probably about 30M if we go up, 12-15M if we don't.

Once his heads turned, I imagine we'll be looking at £10M.

We’ll offer you Jamie Allen in a swap deal plus cash then

 

[Jamesimus]

Isn’t this where all of your play is and where you take all your shots at goal from?

 

[Jamesimus]

In all seriousness @Ipad Boro, you have been crying out for a big number 9 and it should have got done in Jan really.

 

[Ipad Boro]

A hell of a lot of it, yes.

The strikers peel wide and cut it back to midfielders to take shots with a lot of the time.

Not a chance. Forest offered more than that and their offer was ridiculous

Nah, you're alright mate.

It looks like it'll end up costing them promotion.

Won't he be going into the last year of this contract? The chance of playing PL football under Lampard would be too much to turn down.

Depends if we play too low block for him. He will want to move to a team that matches the Hellball flair.

It could well do. I all fairness I don't know who'll be going up with you, aside from Millwall no side seems to want to?

If we end up in the playoffs then it will depend who we're up against. If it's Saints, Ipswich and Wrexham, I'd fancy our chances.

If it's Millwall, Bristol and Hull, not a sniff.

I'd back you least against Wrexham of those 3 & surprised you've included them in that category. They're low-block merchants away from home and are very good in big games at home

If you fail Hackney will end up at a established mid-table prem side - Everton springs to mind

 

[Jamesimus]

Nah, you're alright mate.

Put some respect on Jamie Allen’s name please, he’d walk into your first 11!

Or perhaps a newly promoted one

Man U are admirers of him, he'd be more likely to want to go there than anywhere else tbh.

Doubt he'd go there. He's alright but midtable Prem is his ceiling atm.

 

[Ipad Boro]

At the moment it is.

But he'd relish the chance to develop himself and fight for his place from the bench. Mid-table Prem was Morgan Rogers' ceiling when he left for Villa. Surrounded by better players and with better opponents to play against he'd likely improve.

 

[mark82]

Must sign this guy.

I think you can rest easy on the threat from the scrumpy drinkers.

I think Hackney has the potential to be a real top talent, he seems sensible and if he leaves it will be for a club that don't dice with relegation, unlike Hamer going to Blades. The fee would probably be the highest paid for a player that was bought from a club not being relegated from the Prem. I would love to sign him but I don't think he would be the type you need to survive if you are being promoted and the 20+ million could be better spent. You just have to look at how Dewsbury Hall has developed at Everton as a cue to what he should consider if he doesn't make it this season, you can always kick on to a top club after. I don't mind either you or Millwall going up though as we seem to have the hoodoo on you both.

Hughes, rushworth and hackney would be 3 I’d love to get, great potential. Think we’ll go back in for hughes this summer if we’re in the prem and hull won’t be able to stop it

Yes those 3 with some physicality from overseas would be great.

Would like an experienced prem player in there though. Either in at CDM or CB.

Yeh dunno if that's a statement signing but I agree we'll go back in.

Those 3

Plus someone like Adam Webster

Is a good start.

Onyeka is already here and signing if /when we go up that will be the experienced prem CDM

Agree with the prem quality CB thou

Adam Webster would be good.

We need a Xhaka-esque signing.

I imagine that ourselves and Millwall both going up, one through the autos, one through the playoffs, wouldn't matter which way round, would be best from a Cov point of view with survival in mind.

It would be much better if Millwall and Hull went up.

 

[Ipad Boro]

It would be much better if Millwall and Hull went up.

Can't think why, you have a much better record against us than Hull. It's not even close
Also that embargo would no longer be a factor at all.

Cus Hull are skint and Millwall wouldnt be as much of a threat.

Boro will spend way more than Hull or Millwall, lets be real here.

Yes but the "hoodoo"!

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Rushworth has to be the main signing this summer. I think there'll be other clubs interested in him now and I'm pretty confident he'll save us points next season.

After that, we need someone like Xhaka to come in.

 

[SleepyGinger]

I can’t see Rushworth being here next year, hope I’m wrong.

 

[Diehard Si]

First post in about 12 years by the way...

Lets be honest, we need either up and coming hidden gems and some older experienced heads.

But we need an experienced defender. Lewis Dunk perhaps. Reaching end of his career, could come in and stabilise the defence. Then we need an experienced left back. Chilwell could well be that.

Here's an ouside shout for the middle.. Jobe Bellingham. Gone to Germany, its not quite working. Might want to come back over.

The Ox from Celtic.

Then a striker too i think, I think Simms might struggle in the Prem and be a good signing for a Champ side. So then we need someone else.. Another old head comes to mind, Danny Welbeck.
