useless Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 If it's only to be two, I think a striker and a playmaker are most essential. But hopefully we can a few more like a right-back and another midfielder, preferably one capable of scoring a few goals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfcwills10 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I'm starting to think Di Matteo might have been suitably impressed with Bacuna at rightback which is why we haven't seen De Laet come in? It looked imminent a few weeks back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you don't rate them Cissokho and Bacuna are playing in defence barely conceding goals...if we need more attacking just play Amavi... Certainly need another striker and another midfielder....Jedinak, new AM midfield, Westwood, Tshibola, Gardner...should be enough until January.

KJT123 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Think we need a RB, CM and Striker. In an idea world i'd like us to sign a backup GK and winger as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) I wonder if by signings he means permanent signings and not loans or including loans. I just think there is a lack of depth in several key positions for only two more signings and we could loan a striker like Bamford and a right back like Yedlin or Trippier. IIRC Xia has said multiple times that we will use the loan market as well. Edited August 20, 2016 by Villaphan04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 2 more signings might give us an half decent bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I actually think Bacuna has been fine this season. He can stay there until January and then re-assess. If it was Hutton playing there then yes I'd completely agree about the essential nature of getting in another RB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said before RB can wait until January I think...it would be near bottom of my list. Doubt anyone would disagree about the other two.

Kingman Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 If we got 3 strikers it still wouldn't be enough. Our current strikers couldn't hit a barn door with a **** shovel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 All our midfielders play in a very similar position we need something else, someone with a bit more attacking threat. And I don't see Morrison as a central midfielder, if he signs he'll be playing either out wide, behind the striker/s or somewhere in between.

dounavilla Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Agree but if I had to sacrifice one of those positions then I'd say right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if we can shift Hutton or not...getting in another RB would mean three in squad which is overload. Or means Bacuna will be pushed back into midfield which I certainly don't want.

I think its pretty unlikely Hutton or Bacuna will go this window and personally I wouldn't want that to stop us bringing in a better option if one is available. Bacuna isn't a RB and while you are right he has done okay there so far he is only playing there because Hutton isn't good enough. If we sign a RB then Bacuna needs to fight for a place in the side in midfield, be content as second choice RB or try and find a move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
