Vranckx and Hamer
Vranckx and lokonga
Hamer and lokonga

My choice would be vranckx and lokonga

If we signed both Vranckx and lokonga I think i might need a lie down. It would be an unbelievable window

Yes that would be ridiculous, particularly if we could loan Maatsen as well.

Vranckx - £10m
Lokonga - £15m
Diallo - loan
Maatsen - loan
Townsend - free

To complete our incomings after Trafford and Redmond get announced

If we have signed Redmond as well, do we think
that means the end of our interest in Clarke and Fleming and any other forwards and wingers?

Is suspect THB and Maatsen will be our loans
We have cover for Zaroury in Costello.

I’d be astonished if Costello is anywhere near the first team, even as a back up.

Isn’t flemming more of a 10 who can play an 8 but can do a job out wide if needed

As an attacking midfielder, hopefully still interested in him then

I don’t think Costelloe pulled up any trees at League Two Bradford City last season so he should be nowhere near a Prem squad at this stage.

Woodleyclaret · Post by **Woodleyclaret** » Wed Jul 19, 2023 4:54 pm

Dara Costelloe played 2 games in the Premier league when we were last up.Definately showed potential and highly rated by Irish coaches.

123EasyasBFC · Post by **123EasyasBFC** » Wed Jul 19, 2023 4:54 pm

Wouldn’t be surprised to see us try to cash in on Costelloe like we did with jimmy dunne and Josh benson

Realistic outgoing fees
BPF - 3m
McNally - 6m
Thomas - 2m
Bastien - 1m
Churlinov- loan to buy for 3-4m
Costelloe - 1m

He played a few games at the beginning of the season last year and did ok - though lacked a lot of end product and sadly didn’t impress at Bradford.

He’s never played in the Prem for us

If we get £3m for BPF it will be the sale of the century

As I said contracted until 2026. So we could sell to anyone other than Coventry

Yes but you also said we could recall him from Coventry?
Thats why people are pointing out that he is no longer at Coventry.

Of course we can sell him to anyone, he is our player.

I know right, only played 4 games for us and 11 times for Bradford. No goals. That’s 15 senior appearances (and he only played 16 times in Ireland). And he’s nearly 21.

Think there’s respective clubs are looking for around 20m for each.

For me I think Maatsen is the more likely of the two to make a profit on

I thought he was excellent for us at Huddersfield other than the final part. Whilst playing for Rochdale got him some first team minutes I'm not sure it would have done much for his technical development, if VK thinks he has potential maybe a loan to somewhere in Belgium might be a better route for him

Tella was phenomenal last season and would love to see him with us this season.
Maatsen not so much

Yet, in a way, it's Maatsen we need more. Or another similar left-back.

warksclaret · Post by **warksclaret** » Wed Jul 19, 2023 7:11 pm

A lot of fringe players at good clubs go into a new pre-season full of optimism thinking its their season to make an impact. Most soon realise when they are second or third choice in a position that at best they might make the bench, but at the same time not even get close to the squad. For this reason I have a feeling players like Gomez, Maatsen. Palmer and Tella could become available to us shortly after the season has started

Younger, but no better than Redmond imo. We really need a left back than can play our system (much as I love Charlie)

I’d definitely say Redmond has the credentials to do a decent job for us , hopefully the signing goes through without any last minute hitches.
It is looking like the chances of Tella signing have got slimmer but how exciting it would be to see him play again for us.
Left defensive side is a challenge and who knows what Kompany and crew are planning.

ArmchairDetective · Post by **ArmchairDetective** » Wed Jul 19, 2023 7:32 pm

I think Tella offered something different to our other wingers last season. His poachers instinct in the box and raw pace to stretch the opposition and take the pressure off will be hard to replace.

Also think it'll be hard to replace Maatsen's skill and understanding of the progressive way VK wants his full backs to play, something that could be seen when we played with Charlie instead.

Neither of their contributions last year should be underestimated. Be great to get them both back if we can.

But where would you play him?

Hedontplayforyou · Post by **Hedontplayforyou** » Wed Jul 19, 2023 8:01 pm

Doubtful that he will have a fixed position . He’s very versatile in attacking roles.

He can play left right and as a 10.

I believe he may also adapt to the role JBG took up last season too or at least something similar . The goal he scored for Besiktas where he carried the ball from near half way was pretty decent to be fair to him.
