[Albion] Potential Transfer Targets

[whitelion]

I do hope the desire for Giroud gets put to bed nice and early, as said elsewhere would be one of the worst signing EVER and I'd rather start with shot shy Murrayoffside.

That's just how wrong you people are.

You're boring.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Owen, Prichard and Bridcutt, who's out of favour at Forest and looking for a new challenge.

Triple SWOOP

 

[Farehamseagull]

Daniel James from Swansea should be high on our list, he is the real deal and exactly the sort of player we need - pace to burn.

Also wanted by Man City/Everton/Leeds but if the £10 million price tag is right, I think that’s a snip in today’s market.

A few others worth considering?

Strikers :
Christhian Stuani - Girona
Iago Aspas - Celta Vigo
Nicolas Pepe - Lille
Aleksander Mitrovic - Fulham
Duvan Zapata - Atalanta - This guy would be fantastic. Seen a fair bit of him in Italy this season and would be a great addition.

Midfield :
Bradley Dack - Blackburn
Mateusz Klich - Leeds (if not promoted)
Giovani Lo Celso - Real Betis

Left Back :
Moritz Bauer - Stoke City
Reece James - Chelsea/Wigan (currently on loan)

Lookman from Everton

Good shout

 

[Farehamseagull]

He might be a bit out of our price range and he’ll probably be wanted by bigger champions league clubs but I would love us to make a push for Duvan Zapata of Atalanta. Absolute quality and exactly the type of striker we need.

Atalanta may well make the champions league so he’ll probaby want to stay there then anyway but he’s previously been linked with West Ham and Newcastle and Atalanta are a very prudent club so I doubt he’ll be on massive money so maybe not totally unrealistic.

Sorry but you are talking pure Gash, He would be decent for anyone in the Prem, however we wouldnt get him as his wages are far too high, without taking into account his motivation to wanting to come and play for someone like us, he has very little to prove.

Think you've been whooshed.

But I still agree with you. I think [MENTION=435]Stat Brother[/MENTION] tries to be light hearted and "funny" all the time.

I believe he's on £120k a week on his current deal.

Now he's the wrong side of 30, I can't see he would be expecting to match that. A 3 year deal to take him to his mid 30's, at about £80k a week doesn't sound ridiculous. If we are not competing for players at £80k a week, then can we please stop saying Hughton should have us playing better football, and holding station further up the table, because that is what the teams in those positions are paying. If we are not competing with the likes of West Ham off the field then we cannot expect to be matching them on it.

Yep that's more like it. We've got no hope of Zapata but I like your thinking.

Given that this thread is turning into a complete wild-wild-west-free-for-all I'm going to chuck in Samuel Chukweze from Villareal who would absolutely tear the Prem up.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Been saying Giroud for a while now.

Won't get a big club come near him anymore, and with his move to Chelsea he turned down a move North, so wants to stay in London, or nearby. Although he'll instantly become our top wage earner, it's the market we need to move in. No use saying we "should be higher in the table with this squad" when actually it's clubs higher in the table like West Ham (roughly where we all seem to think we should be?) that swoop in, sign a player like this and we all shrug saying "well, the wages they can offer, we just can't compete."

Agreed. I still think he’s the best out and out centre forward I have seen at the Amex - his performance against us for Arsenal the other year was just outstanding. Bit of a dream purchase as I don’t think we are big enough for him. With him in the team, it would give us so many options and give us a real chance of mid table.

Some posters really need to stay in their lane. (and keep the stabilisers on)

Love your thoughts BUT without making some of your own suggestions your thoughts are invalid

 

[A1X]

IMHO there are two things we need to identify in any of our targets this summer.

1. Pace
2. PL experience

If they have neither then we shouldn't be interested IMHO (except in exceptional circumstances).

Too many in that list have good experience in a competitive league. We need to be looking at Holland.

According to the Mail on Sunday
Brighton and Southampton are weighing up a bid for Rangers' goalscoring full-back James Tavernier this summer

 

[darkwolf666]

For ****s sake, when will people get it, we won’t buy any of theses random names...

Our recruitment policy is we will buy, mainly, from abroad and players we have never heard of (well most of us, as there’s always one smart Alec).

 

[darkwolf666]

Go on then...

Lionel Messi, he once bumped into Bruno at an airport somewhere, he’s probably looking for a challenge after scoring a trillion goals for Barcelona...

Great prospect, but the '£10 million price tag' is clearly NOT right, seeing as that's the price they turned DOWN from Leeds in January (before he had a blistering second half of the season).

I probably am and am happy to be wrong, here's what I wrote this morning when also challenged:-

I was going to back down a little, but I just scrolled through has stats and had to go right back to 2015/16 season before finding anything of worth, since then he has been the very epitome of diminishing returns.
All he's done is beat up shite teams, probably because he has some of the worlds best talent surrounding him.

So I'm sticking with my initial (gut reaction) assessment, he'll be worse than GM, if playing for us, because at least Glenn appears to care about being proper shitehouse.

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

Rumours about Reece James and James Tavernier, both rightbacks, indicate either Montoya or Bruno won't be here next season.
