Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[cdbearsfan]

So, why should we care? I assumed it was going to be El Ghazi or there was going to be some other reason that it might be of interest to us.

I assume we should care because it will trigger a move our way?

Oh, okay. So he's the Cantwell replacement? Got it, ta.

Just a guess, no idea why he'd mentioned it otherwise!

I've come round to Cantwell now. The idea of Bailey, Cantwell, Ings, Watkins, Traore, and Buendia running free, I think we wild be in for some really interesting games.

And Aaron Ramsey, Chukwuemeka, Philogene-Bidace... Our bench should actually be pretty decent.

[ozzjim]

I'm not sure outside the top 3/4 there's a front 6 in quality of depth I would prefer.

Get 1 more quality central midfielder in place and we can have a cracking season.

[cdbearsfan]

I would agree but change it to "outside the top 1". Even then, they haven't got a proper centre forward worthy of the name.

[ozzjim]

Even counting Jesus as their centre forward, their front 6 options are incredible and just got better.

Chelsea have some brilliant forward players but need a striker.

Man United have some pretty special forwards too

Liverpool have Salah. Who's bloody amazing.

[cdbearsfan]

Yeah they all have some great players. Not as many as us though, I'd say, in those areas you mentioned. If ours live up to their potential, that is. Which admittedly, is being quite optimistic.

Still, there are very few clubs on Earth who wouldn't be looking forward to next season with our attacking options. And we aren't done yet, by all accounts.

[ozzjim]

Imagine having the weapon of Ward Prowse on set plays with that lot.

[Monty]

Still yet to be convinced by Cantwell, who I suspect of having a midtable ceiling as a starter, and because I think we need a creative player at 8/10 rather than 10/wide, like Maddison or Aouar. Should we sign him, of course, I'd love to be proved wrong.

[Big Ming]

Cantwell fits all the criteria we have set for ourselves as a potential signing for the club.

His style of play would also seem to fit.

Except, maybe, being good enough. That's what I'm wondering.

He has the talent and has performed at PL level before. I remember him as their standout player last time they were up.

Maybe our goalie could entice Messi who isn’t settled at his current club ?

Messi is a free agent

Maybe. Fwiw I distinctly remember him looking neatish but a bit lax technically and inoffensive in the final third.
