Its only every two years, there won't be an AFCON to worry about next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4757 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Bournemouth are bidding £30 million for Nathan Ake and Begovic from Chelsea. If that's the sort of value that is in the PL market this summer then we need to readjust our expectations of how much someone like Sigurdsson would cost tbh.

Rayvin 5223 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 And more importantly, readjust our expectations of how feasible he is to buy in the first place If Bournemouth are spunking £30m on those two, we'd get far better value for money outside the PL.

Park Life 71 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) There is a ridiculous premium buying good players within the PL. Benitez has a good black book and excellent contacts in Italy and Spain. Think this is where the business will be done.

I think Carr's big black book, + Benitez being in charge means we won't be buying Cabellas or Rivieres, it'll be players fit for purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Bournemouth spent £15m on Ibe last summer after selling us Ritchie for £12m. They are stupid. Signing from abroad is cheaper but a bigger gamble. Gamez, Lazaar and Selz were his only signings from abroad last year. All shite. We're in a position where we need know we're getting quality otherwise we could be in trouble. So I expect the club will be paying the premium to make our biggest signings from this country to reduce that risk. Much like they did last summer with Ritchie and Gayle. I'm right.

Andrew 4757 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Lazaar is such an odd one, 4 league sub appearances all season, I don't recall him looking particularly awful in the cups, just rusty due to lack of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13872 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Lazaar seems (seemed?) to play with his head down a lot, especially in that Wolves cup game where he was just pinging crosses into the box without knowing if anyone was there. There must be a reason that Paul Dummett is keeping him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 4260 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I think, with absolutely nowt to back me up, that Lazaar and Gamez were bought with a 3-5-2 formation in mind to play as wing backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4757 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Reports are we'll announce our second signing this week, Gabriel Pires from Leganes. He's a Brazilian attacking midfielder so that's exciting I guess. Also we're maybe in for Andre Grey from burnley who I don't particularly rate.

ewerk 30616 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Gray has pretty much the same record as Mitro in the PL. Not the man I'd want to be leading the line for us on the opening day of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4757 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 He's quick but that's all really and he relies on that too much, his touch is naff, he gets caught offside loads and his finishing is inconsistent. I'd really hope for us to be going big and getting better if we're signing a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Hog 523 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Shields Gazette seems sure that Anita and Gouffran won't be getting new contracts. Benitez must be confident about who he can get through the doors if he's letting his utility man go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
