Cool, go and start a thread about that then.

SkipTheJack said:I'm not sure Hourihane is the type of player to run the game from midfield in the way that Gibbs-White did for us. He's much more of a Sigurdsson type player - i.e. a set-piece specialist and major goal threat from long-range shots. We desperately needed a player to do this from midfield, and he's done the business.
Magic_Michu said:I’m going to be controversial... Hourihane hasn’t had as much influence on games as I would have thought. I thought he would come in and control games in the middle, but he seems to have little influence in there, bar stating the obvious of popping up and scoring vital goals.
Woodman on the other hand, yes, yes and yes.
I wouldn’t be so sure about not being able to get Guehi ... I think with Tuchel they’ll look for the big name signings rather than youth products. If we could get him around £15 million I would jump on it.
JackSomething said:Don't like talking about next season's transfer plans as we're a long way from this season being over. Having said that, IF we were promoted and Ayew would be open to a 1-year contract at a wage the club are comfortable with, I'd say it would be a no-brainer. Given how Cooper seems reluctant to ever take him off the pitch, I think he'd agree.
I think he'd be a decent option from the bench, but let's be honest he's not going to take a big hit on wages he's currently getting to sit on the bench, he will go elsewhere have a nice sign on fee and decent wages elsewhere.PSumbler said:JackSomething said:Don't like talking about next season's transfer plans as we're a long way from this season being over.

I may end up in a minority here but if we went up and decided to keep Ayew I would be bitterly disappointed and believe it to be the wrong decision, he is not a Premier League player any more.

£15 million will probably be the whole budget for next season if we go up.

Unfortunately I think your spot on.
The last time we went up we struck it lucky by having a team that was surprisingly comfortable at Premier league standard, let's not forget that the Championship back then was miles ahead in terms of quality than it is now.
Anyway, enjoy the ride aye
