Hello Ed,
Multiple reports linking us to Maximillian Beier. Any truths in this? Also, what do you think of the player?
{Ed002's Note - Maximilian Beier (S/F) Opted for a contract extension at Hoffenheim over a move to Brentford after a loan at Hannover. Seen as a potential Hlozek replacement for Bayer Leverkusen or a Sesko Replacement for RBL. Everton, Manchester United, Liverpool and Luton have sent scouts to watch the player. May be available in the summer.
I don't have any thought about young men.}

Thanks, Ed. Love that last bit.
What type of player is he? Would he do well in the PL?
{Ed002's Note - I was suprised with RBL considering him as a a potential Sesko replacement but to be fair I have been told he has improved as time has moved on. He is young at 20 or 21 and might do OK.}

He looks a decent player on the little I've seen. My concern would be he's had one good season playing in a league where attackers haven't typically transferred well from into the EPL.
Far more Sancho's, Kagawa's, Werner's, Haller's and Pulisic's than there are Haaland's and Sane's.
I'd want him to have another season where he improves on what he's done this season, even then I'd want a deal where we pay a lower initial fee, with more dependent on performances. Just to protect us from another potential Bundesliga flop.
Sesko is another that I'd be a little wary about (but less so than Beier), I think he has the physical requirements and is young enough to adapt. Although I think he'd be better off joining a club that already had a first choice ST option where he could slowly bed in. Højlund suffered a little this season from not having someone to shoulder the burden with.
The one forward I would absolutely take from the Bundesliga this summer would be Lois Openda. But he has proven himself in the Netherlands with Vitesse on loan, with Lens in Ligue 1 (a league that players tend to adapt well to the EPL from) and with Leipzig. He'd be my first choice option if money was no object this summer. He's a proven player with a different profile to Højlund, he can drop deep and play as a false 9, play wide or play as a second striker off of a player like Højlund. The only real problem is he'd be very expensive, 60-70m I'd imagine and we just don't have that sort of money for a striker this summer.

Tim,
I reckon the INEOS plan was always a 3-year/summer one. Last summer was the attack, this one for the midfield and next defense.
