Player Suggestions

On a free but, the money you save on signing can be used on wages. Sign on bonus aswell, would still probably be cheaper than Bolingoli lol.

 

Once you break the wage structure though that breaks it all, why should a player be signed for far higher wages than anyone else key, it allows for everyone else to demand more and disrupt squad harmony

 

Yuma Suzuki - 7 goals and 9 assists in the J League in 20 starts. Scored 17 goals in the Belgian league a few years prior.

Striker and can play off the left apparently

 

Well he is a high value player for no transfer fee, thats why.

And he is * hot.

 

Good engine on him.

 

I'm not disagreeing that he's a talented player and absolutely not paying a fee gives the money to do so.

But if suddenly we have a player on say 50k what dues that say to our existing high paid players? They can then turn around to go give me that kind of money then what do you do? Give massive bumps to a whole heap of players and then it all inflates.

Yes I do think we can probably work to higher limits but that needs to be engaged in a controlled manner of increases

 

I misread that as Toronto there and nearly lost my * man

 

There are still a good few free agents that could be worth a look for us.

Xeka, ex-Lillie CM, 27 so in his prime looks a real all rounder as a CM. Would command a top wage but would be able to play the DM role and have all the qualities we need.

Riechedly Bazoer, ex Vitesse, CB/CDM, 25, already spoke enough about him previously he’s again very well suited to what Ange would want in a holding CM.

Anthony Nwakaeme, ex Trabonzspor, LW, 33, is on the old side but still had a cracking season last year in Turkey with 13 goals and 10 assists in 30 games and has been not far off that sort of return for the past 4 years (infact last year was his best). I also recall Hatem El Hamed being interviewed when he was here and he said he was the best player he’s ever played with. Can also play as a Striker

Dor Peretz, Ex Venezia, DCM, 27, is a regular in the international team ahead of Abdu Fani we were linked with. Played a fair bit in Serie A last year and back home for Macabbi Tel Aviv before. Much like Xeka above but not as good but maybe more achievable.

Keita Balde, ex Cagliari, LW/ST, 27, powerful player with good pace and decent skill. Had a poor spell at Calgari but was largely used as a ST where he has been more effective as a LW in the past with a goal or an assist every other game over 90 games in Ligue 1 and Serie A. At ST he isn’t far off that either but seems more effective off the left. In a more dominant team he could certainly be effective.

 

It seems difficult to judge a player based on good performances in the Turkish League - especially goalscorers. I remember watching Alexander Sorloth at Palace and wondering if this guy had ever played football before. Gets sent to Turkey on a two year loan and tears the league up, 20+ goals a season, looks strong and fast, technically really good. Next comes a move to Leipzig and immediately goes back to looking disappointing and overrated.

Similar story with Cenk Tosun who looked a natural goalscorer in that league but didn't cut it at Everton or Palace.

 

YAMAHAHAHAHAHA

 

Probably majorly pie in the sky but I wonder how Uros Racic would cost? More of a back up player for Valencia. Skillfull good on the ball, 6’4 tank of a CM.

 

Florian Grillitsch to fill the DM position.....free agent after leaving Hoffenheim only Brighton are in for him

 

That's who I wanted us to go for over Mooy tbh, might've cost a fair bit up front in terms of agent and signing on fees but a quality player in his prime. Him or Morten Thorsby who just went to Union Berlin for 3M euro's.

 

Reiss Nelson.

 

The club should have a look at Mathias Normann if we're still in the market for a CDM. Was on loan at Norwich last spring and did well there. He's back in Rostov now, but i don't think he's registered in their league squad because of the war. Think he'd be a perfect fit for us.

 

Ronaldo only wants to play for a team in the Champions League team

Not sure he has the right assets for an Ange team though Jota might be able to help him out a bit though

 

Greg Taylor driving to the byline and pinging in a pinpoint cross for Ronaldo would scare the life out of Champions League defences.

 

Or his brother Fulle'

 

He’s no Matt O’Riley
