The left back has been great
Still young though but has been an excellent signing
Could also look at Fernandes too as he has been excellent

He is a good player however i would be dissapointed IF he ended up here. As you say his age is against him as well.

You would also have to likely move Kudus on as he was why he left (comp not personal). I think we need more elsewhere before we need a Bowen
We need a LW, Striker and a Ball Playing CM.
That and a massive clearing of the decks

Since these reports keep coming from reliable sources you have to believe it could very well happen.
If so, he sounds a lot like a left-sided version of Romero. Sell the latter for 60 mil and move on…

I think we will see wholesale changes this summer. Romero and MVDV I suspect will both be gone, in which case he covers one and Danso and maybe another cover RCB.
A mass clearing of the decks I am sure

I agree. Too much noise about VDV not wanting to sign a new contract and can’t let him stay with less than two years on his contract.
Adding Vuskovic and Senesi plus one more experienced CB would give us around 100 mil to invest in other areas of the squad.

If we made 4 smart signings, clear the decks and looked at youth integration, that would be an exciting year to look forward to IMO.

Ball-playing CM, CF and…?

LW and sure there is other
I think the priorities are
- CF, assuming we sell one of Richi or Solanke and RKM is sent back
- LB, unless RDZ think Souza can cut it
- CM to replace Bissouma (assuming we keep Palhinha)
- GK, assuming Vic is gone to Italy (seems to be the noise)
Everything else is replacements if they happen
- CB if VDV or Romero goes, assuming Dragusin does and Vuskovic comes in
- Pape could be moved on.
RDZ's view will be interesting
- Davies, RKM, Bissouma, Vic are all pretty much certain (that's already 4 changes)
- I see one of VDV/Romero moving on, I think we will fight changing both in same window
- The rest is refresh and who's available
A very conservative view would be
- No CF change, keep Solanke & Richi (have we ever started a season with both fit?)
- Bring in Robertson on a free to rotate with Udogie/Souza
- Keep Palhinha & Bentancur
- Leave RW for Kudus & Deki
- Bring in Moore to rotate with Tel/Richi on LW until Odobert is available (send Moore back out on loan, 2nd half of next season)
- Spend all the money on GK and elite midfielder
That gamble says the squad is mostly good enough, RDZ will get you a lift, and you push for European qualification and reinforce again next summer.
You could go the full refresh but that has very rarely worked for us, and it depends on how much we have in kitty and who we can get, e.g. no point selling Solanke/Richi unless we get someone a lot better.

Always think back to Poch final summe. Had we brought in Bowen & Fernandes instead of Clarke & LoCelso.
