Yeah I don’t know much about him but assuming he’s brilliant, it would require remaking the setup in the team in the area we are currently strongest while still having to find funds to fix our existing holes up front and LB/CB
Frimpong is home grown isn’t he?
Kind of helps if Elliott does indeed go. You do know we need more than 11 players mind. I know it’s a concept that football fans can’t get their head around while shouting “rotate rotate”

I think Isak is brilliant but I have a nagging doubt about his injury record. Daniel Sturridge was a naturally gifted striker, but we probably remember him more for what could have been.
I’m not sure whether Wirtz is strictly what we need, unless he is going to be the keystone of Slot’s tactical plan going forward. Then again, I remember when Salah was signed there were people setting the expectation that he wouldn’t score that many himself.

Wirtz from what I have seen, is class, he can dribble, pass and scores goals, all from an AM position. He also works hard for the team defensively and can press from the front.
Gets a big thumbs up from me.

Romano probably isn’t a thread starting journo, but looks like we’re cracking on with prepping the squad for next season

Might as well open the thread with Kerkez as the source himself given his social media activity of late, guy is clearly desperate to move here.

Frimpong, Kerkez and Wirtz wrapped up before the end of the season. Hughes is just desperate to get away on one of these lads trips before they head away for the summer #fomo

I put it in the same category as Dom. The player is obviously really good, but it didnt seem at the time the rumours started an obvious fit given what the CW was that we needed at the time. So the rumours were taken with a pinch of salt, but are juicy AF. If we pull it off I’ll be excited first and then just wait until it’s all done an dusted to think about how it’s all supposed to go together,
And to me that’s the best bit about this summer. I have ideas of what we need to do, but I am fascinated to see what happens as we see a plan enacted based on what Slot thinks we need.

Is that a central winger? Like Diaz maybe?
Appalling comma use by my man Fab. Don’t let Cynnie see that.

Sounds terrific. The question is do we spend that money there when we have so many other roles to fill; more specifically could he play further forward as a deeper CF?
FIFY

Just checking back to see if we have signed Kerkez and Wirtz yet. See you in 10mins.

Explains why we keep him around, FSG too cheap to sign new players so keep him around for a constant new signing.
I’d prefer a centre forward to a winger.
