Any news on sensible rumours? I reckon we need two wingers, a forward and RB as minimum.
Would love us to in for Kronos Jnr. I think he has a bundle of potential.

Think he's a but busy ruling in Olympus mate.

I think we need cover on LW/RW (Gakpo is good for bench only), an attacking midfielder to replace outgoing Jones, someone who is better than Macca and definitely a RB. We still have many options of CB with Van Dijk, Jeremy, Gomez, Giovanni and hopefully some academy players can show up on the back as well this season as well.
What do you all think? Who should we sign on wingers if Diomande ends up picking PSG?

Whatever happened to that Malik Fofana, playing in the South of France some place? Is he no longer a target?

Does anyone know if we have a buy back clause on Tyler Morton?
{Ed078's Note - we have a sell on clause, but no buy back I believe.

I would expect the positions we are recruiting for won't change - i.e. RB, CB, DM, CM, LW, RW and possibly GK if Marma goes out and another flexible forward to make up for Hugo's longer-term absence.
Big question marks will be:
1) Is Adam Wharton still the guy now we are going with a different game model?
2) What profile of RB would we need? Flyer, CB-like profile or midfield-like profile?
3) What type of CB experience do we want to add? Left CB? Height? Progressive passing ability? Pace?
Diomande or Barcola seems to be the big name signings we are considering for the wing.
But we will need another and it'll likely have to be a bit cheaper.
Palestra and Kayode seem to be the obvious RB names in the mix at the moment. However, I am sure there's a long list as we were in the same market last summer too.
The no-brainer midfield signing would be one of Lamine Camara or Mamadou Sangare. They would add some much needed aggression to the midfield. Camara has been on our list for a couple of years now.

Not a chance Diamonde going to PSG. Nico Williams, no chance. Sensi going Spurs. Gomez, Gakpo going nowhere.
02 Jun 2026 07:54:35
I stopped reading at Gomas.
02 Jun 2026 08:06:26
So, stupid question time.
How does a sell on clause work if we were the buying club? Surely means we would be in a better place to pick him up (technically) cheaper.
Pay £40m, get the 10% sell-on back? Never heard of it happening, so genuinely curious.
Or do we think the price gets bumped up 10% for us to cover the actual cost after the clause?
02 Jun 2026 08:10:04
Gomas, the Dragonball Fusion of Koumas and Gomez into an all action dynamo who tears it up in both boxes.
02 Jun 2026 10:09:24
@RedQ, Say the sell on amount agreed is 10%. If the club we sold the player to is sold by that club in turn, if they receive £ 100m we get £10m. At least, that's how I think it works.
02 Jun 2026 10:18:53
I get that, WDW mate, was just a hypothetical. What happens if it is in fact us that went in for Morton? Considering we have a sell on clause.
02 Jun 2026 10:25:35
Not impressed by Nico Williams. He's on massive wages and would be expensive and not been impressed by him.
02 Jun 2026 11:17:47
I have a feeling the sell on clause is 10% on the profit, not full amount, WDW.

ScouseDAP, that's the funniest thing I've ever read on this site. Fair play.
