The club is weak, full of weak people in the upper echelons and this cascades throughout the whole squad. Looking at the only bona fide starter we have around, Martinez, De Ligt is not his ideal partner and we are spending big money just to build a one paced defense.
Has the club really thought this through? We are once again being deceived by a big club pedigree the player has and ignoring his physical attributes and the financial implications having such a high wage player in the squad who has doubts on his suitability to play a high line partnered with Martinez.
Would risk the funds on a cheap, younger punt from a lower reputation league. Absolutely can get someone as good as Amrabat from Ligue 1 for much less.
Yeah its a pretty decent looking option, it just feels more risky than Braintwaithe bizarrely based on his most recent injury and the nagging question of why Bayern are selling. Still skeptical after Hargreaves/Schweinsteiger.
He's on the highest wages in Bayern, they have dier, upamecano, KMJ and want Tah (because German/weaken Laverkusen) plus they will use the money to fund keeping Davis.
Then you do have the injuries last year..
Ahhh yess the defender who has literally excelled in multiple high line systems isn’t capable of playing in a high line for us.
While De Ligt and Ugarte might be necessary signings IMO we really need to get some more creative players in the side. We need more players who can set up goals for our forwards. Who are we being linked with that can provide this?
€50m for de Ligt is okay. I do have concerns that both Juventus and Bayern have moved him on, but he brings good experience and is still young. He also knows the manager. And finally, Everton want far too much for Branthwaite.
Give it a rest, we get it. You don't like the manager. We don't need a reminder every 5 minutes. Please keep it in the threads specifically about the manager. It's beyond tedious.
He doesn't need to be considerably better. He's a young striker with potential at a fair price. He'll give us depth up top, and offer a different threat to Hojland to give our attack a lot more versatility.
It's a no brainer. Completely agree with op, these are 3 great signings to start the summer
Seems highly rated, do those who regularly watch the youth teams think he might be involved with the first team this season?
did you read the post I replied to? the poster said those three immensly improve our starting XI
They're potentially good signings, but I just wouldn't say Zirkzee is an immense upgrade on Hojlund
Kids looking old as hell these days, and he ain't even played with the first team yet!
That's a relief. There was a rumour of a lot of high profile academy players turning down pro deals and moving this summer, I thought he could be one of them.
He's 16.
Not yet as someone has posted he is just 16 and even in the unders games he drifts in and out of games. He isn't the strongest and is still raw - but he's a good player.
We might see Ogunneye the RB preseason
Can't believe fans of a team that finished 8th last year are are turning their noses up at £42m for De Ligt in an era where players of that level are going for minimum £65m. Its like saying you would not take Eder Militao or Lisandro Martinez if you were offered because of one season of long-term injury. Hilarious. There are signings to scratch your head about. This is not one of them.
Anyone know much about this fella?
I really hope we’re in for a creative winger this window. We’ve got wingers whose first thoughts are to cut in and shoot. We need someone who thinks about assisting first.
Olise was it
Unfortunately it's Amad or bust now. Or hopefully Zirkzee comes good and lets us play the two cut-in shoot merchants.

There are plenty of options other than Olise around.
Guys like Nico Williams, Beier, Olmo, Neto and more are all potentially available for fees around or less than Olise was priced at.
@diarm Wasn’t Vivell the guy that Chelsea had appointed but then was quickly ousted by them hiring the Brighton guys…
Glad to see the club looking for a recruitment expert though

Don't release clauses usually need to be paid out all at once to be activated? Not sure our cash position is strong enough for that.
We'll probably make an offer around the clause so we can structure it more favourably.
It appears that is the guy mate yeah. I didn’t know that myself but someone opened a thread on him here:
https://www.redcafe.net/threads/orn...er-vivell-on-initial-short-term-basis.483381/
How would you describe Amad?
Someone that warms the bench?
I wondered why his name was familiar then remembered he was one of those people Clearlake hired in their Chelsea revolution who got kicked out because they had too many cooks. He has a resume at least.
Think that's for ones in Spain specifically.
I’d go back in for Sabitzer now and offer £20m, Dortmund would probably take it for 29-30 year old, we really should have signed him as he can play 6,8, False 9 and 10 genuine bad business not keeping Sabitzer for €15m?
Exactly he’s failed in a slow lead In Italy, Bayern don’t want him yet we want to start him, I have serious reservations about De Ligt, especially his pace or rather lack of ?
Branthwaite maybe could be done for £60-65m on a 5 year contract for £165k per week or £8.5m per year plus £13m amortisation so cost would be £21.5m for a two footed young English CB With pace.
So De Ligt is four years older for £42m over 5 years £8m per year and rumoured wages of £12m per year wages is a total cost of £20m. This doesn’t make sense!
I would absolutely take Brathwaite over Di Ligt.
Sorry but De Ligt feels very much like the big name signing from another big team that has regularly failed after joining us. Bayern want rid of him for a reason. His injury record concerns me and this would very much be another ETH-driven signing. I thought the idea was to remove him from recruitment but many now don't seem to have a problem with it?
What about his injury record specifically worries you?
