Realistic Transfer Targets

[Sixnowt]

I think Jack Grealish is a top player just a very poor person and professional maybe with the right manager (Rafa or assistant K.K.)he could mature into a real class act ...

I can just imagine the patter between our present squad wondering how long they have left if/when the Saudi's take over. They'll all be playing blinders in the remaining matches.

I dislike Grealish and we don't need that player.

We need to keep both the Longstaff brothers.

I really want to see Timo Werner brought in. The guy is a beast.

Gotze would be great too.

James Rodrigez, Coutinho for the right wing

I also think we need to keep both Longstaffs.

I honestly believe that with a good coach they could become very good players. The team isn't going to be transformed overnight and I think local roots will be important. Yeah, I know it's not exactly what the thread is about but that's me answer.

At least we will be able to shop in the big boys shops instead of bargain buckets

It'll be like when some knacker gets kicked out of I'm a Celeb and rocks up in the Palazzo Versace (yes, I had to Google it ), looking around all wide-eyed going 'woah...'

Pretty sensible posts on this thread so far. If you listen to some of the mackems we’re expecting a star studded galácticos squad ready for next season.
I agree that the starting point is to see what we have and who has the ability (now or in future) to be in the squad we’d like to have. I agree that the only 3 on current ability are Schar, Dubs and Lejeune but there are several that we have who could either be good squad/bench players or who would come on leaps and bounds if they had a bit more quality around them - Almiron, Saint, Shelvey, Dummet, Sean and maybe Matty.
Report in the mag from some financial bod who reckons we could have 150 million transfer kitty straight off without infringing fair play rules.............. (*raises whisky to lips with shaking hand and gulps loudly*).

I reckon that is why Ritchie has come out and said he'd love to end his career at Pompey, that he has unfinished business there.

Give them a heads up.

Cos if they get promoted, i reckon he'd drop to the chimpo to play for them and he'd do well there.

I can't wait to go into a transfer window actually excited again!😀

We do have to be a LITTLE sensible though...it's going to take time and we can't be replacing the whole squad in one season...

The big stars generally won't be interested yet and to be honest I'd be wary of the commitment of those that would...call me a cynic.

As said the most important signing is the manager. Bringing the right guy in sets the tone and of course better managers attract better players....

Alegri, Poch, Rafa or Nagelsmann would all be good choices.

Again...you have to look at who you would be happy to keep in the squad for next season. For me...
