Break the bank player?

Post by Guller Bull » Tue Aug 25, 2020 9:14 am

If you were to break the structure for one player (and lets keep it semi realistic) who would it be.

Bit of fun so don't slaughter me for it might take a bit of weight of the transfer linky/linkyless thread


For me - Scott McTominay

Hard working
Tough tackling
Right attitude - Dyche enabled
Young
in and around Man Utd first team but not a guaranteed start
Scores some belters
Protects the fancy dans.

He wouldn't be cheap but he would be value imho

On you go

James Milner, expensive wages for a year or two but he'd be fantastic.

Nobody!
Purchase price is an irrelevance, but if you pay one player £100k/week, then you need to either align the whole squad to that salary, or run the risk (more a probability than a possibility) that other members of the squad will think 'sod it' and perform accordingly.

We need someone that picks locks. I would have thrown the lot at Silva for a 2 year contract. Manchester based etc etc no need to move the family etc etc.

Often feel we could seduce Man City’s releases.

Trippier for me too. Underappreciated at Spurs, done OK in Spain, as far as I can gather and it would be bitterly disappointing to see him go to a club like Aston Villa

Thomas Muller. Not just a brilliant footballer, but plays with smile as well as giving 100%.

I ignored the semi realistic bit obviously. But of any footballer I’d like to see at Burnley, it’d be him.

He's absolutely tapped. Imagine him joining in the shenanigans with Barnes and Westy :lol:

Not necessarily a position we'd need but Giroud would do well with us, as would Rondon.
Been linked already but Deulofeu would probably break the wage structure and be worth it (as long as he stayed fit). A fit Shaqiri would be class too.

Tripps, every day of the week because he would actually improve our already excellent back five!

He’s already declared that if/when he returns to the EPL it’ll be with Burnley. He’s desperate to team up with SD again.

You didn't quite get the point of this post did you :lol:

I would tend to agree - tripps would be a good realistic player to break the bank for.

McTominay - my favourite United player. Only one I like, bar maybe Rashford now, I think. Didn’t watch much of their Europa League or Restart games but the ones I did seemed to have Matic starting ahead of him. Unless he’s injured would wager United would have done much better with him in the side. In a world where we had a rich investor and he’d been completely alienated from the United side, he’d be exactly the type of player I’d want us to go for.
