useless Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Hull wouldn't have wanted to sell hernandez to begin with, the problem for them is that club appears to be a mess as things stand, and he might want out, I think he's even been quoted as saying that he'd like to join us, or words to that affect. The problem for us if he does leave, is that he'd be expensive, wouldn't be surprised if it cost approaching £20m to sign him, and after a good start in the Premier, other teams in that division might go for him.

AVTuco Posted August 21, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2016 I think our defence is fine. We could have better full backs, but they're not our biggest need. Midfield is a worry, although Jedi will make a big difference. But who scores our goals? We need a better second keeper than Bunn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgetaway Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Need a GK, RB, Winger and Striker Try and shift on: Hutton, Okore, Veretout, Adama, Lescott, Gabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Still think we are working on permanent signings now then will look at loans for areas like RB closer to the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 21, 2016 Moderator Share Posted August 21, 2016 I'm pretty sure we'll buy a RB. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 For me rb is dropping right down the priority list. Winger, attacking mid and striker are all more important IMO. Bacuna is ok there. But we're going to need more upfront to win the amount of games needed for promotion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 A, Attacking Creative Midfielder B, Prolific Goal Scorer C, X2 Back ups for for when A & B are unavailable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormack is about the closest to his position at the moment. I'd push McCormack forward as number 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in our formation the full backs are pretty vital to providing the width in attack. Personally I think RB would be joint top priority with another striker. People keep talking about wingers but we don't play with them and I personally don't see us even trying to sign one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true but I feel like Bacuna can do a decent enough job. I think in order for us to get more goals we need vetter options or competition for ayew and Gestede in the positions they've been playing in.

Demitri_C Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 We need a striker with pace thats gor sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 21, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2016 Yeah I think RB is down on the list. For me the priority is... Striker Attacking midfielder Right back Winger Centre mid I'd like all of these brought in to be honest, especially with Veretout and Adama wanting out.

We've played 442 in the opening few games so you might not want to call them wingers but we do lack depth in the wide midfield area. At present we have Ayew, Grealish and Green for those two positions. I don't think it's unreasonable that people would look for additions in that area of the pitch however you want to label it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying we don't just that it doesn't strike me as being that important. Particularly at VP we will face sides sitting deep where pace isn't huge help.

useless Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Bacuna playing well, but if he were to get injured or lose his form, that leaves us with Hutton who unfortunately is a big weak spot for us in my opinion. I think one of the reasons we've signed Jedinak is to allow the full-backs to get forward more, adding width to the team. I hope we can get another RB in to do this job on the right hand side, haven't seen much of Yedlin but Sunderland seemed hopeful that they might sign him, so must have done well there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few times yesterday (and against Wednesday) counter attacks were too one paced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the counter attack we had yesterday with kozak, if that was a striker with pace might have scored. Kozak was an embarrassment. Even RDM knew tgat hence subbing him! I think we are decent at counter attacking therefore we need someone quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are decent at counter attacking therefore we need someone quick I think we have: Target man: Gestede, player who is good on the ball and a little tricky: Ayew, technical player who can bring others into the game: McCormack. Only option for pace is Hepburn-Murphy, and I am not sure he is ready. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I'd like to see RHM get some game time, he could be a good option from the bench when we need some pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 at least 2 more signings. Then we have the ability to loan players; think we will be Ok for depth and maybe even have the strongest squad when the window closes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
