Czechlad Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Would prefer a permanent deal. Also I don't understand why Swansea, a championship club, would loan Abraham to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Don’t we need a proper LB (and CB) more than anything else? We were linked to Joe Bryan last season, any good? Also, are we suddenly able to afford transfer fees now or just loans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted July 31, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2018 The order in which we sign/loan players is unlikely to be in order of need or priority. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Bruce plans on using him there because him and Elmo should both be starting somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GENTLEMAN Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) For me CB is priority, I don’t like Jedinak’s positioning at CB, maybe he will develop it with game time. It’s a pity we haven’t got a bruising but raw centre back to partner Chester coming through the ranks (have we? looking at you @sir_gary_cahill) I liked the balance of Baker-Chester, and perhaps with hindsight it wasn’t worth the Terry transfer for that year. Although I totally understand why it was done. It nearly paid off short term; both on and off the field Edited July 31, 2018 by GENTLEMAN 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My limited understanding was that Suliman is a bit lightweight and more a baller. Revan has a tough sounding name at least, maybe a more complimentary partner for Chester?

Every year we get linked to, say, a striker that will help us and people say, but we need a centre back first—as if transfers all happen one at a time and happen in a predefined order of priority, which is obviously not the way it works. That's the same shit. Also see how people talk about all the bullshit rumours as if they're The Truth. If fake news ever had an origin it was in transfer rumours.
