NeilS Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 All we need now is another forward to give us a decent sized squad. We certainly don’t need anymore central defenders, especially on loan, so can’t see Axel coming here this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 So which forwards we picking from Leipzig? Werner and a winger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted August 3, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) I think one out and out striker and that would complete the squad nicely Edited August 3, 2019 by alreadyexists 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are pretty stacked at cb as it is. Not sure Chester has another full season at the top level in him so there could be room for Tuanzebe but as stated earlier only with an option to buy.

They were always going to sign someone else and use him as a potential bench warmer at best. His career has now been put on hold again by them. Case proven, they were just stringing him along... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you are right there, they sold him a right pup, he won't be first choice after they signed Maguire, and adding on the other defenders they have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So will go with forward that can play wide . I think centre forward is the only area we are lacking in, an injury to Wesley could hit us hard as I am not convinced by our back ups although I guess Kodjia might step up.

Killeen30 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 2 hours ago, useless said: Only scenario in which I could see us signing Tuanzebe, is if we were to sell Taylor, and use Hause as our second choice left-back. And it would have to be a loan with an option to buy, seems very unlikely. Engles has looked good in pre-season, but I personally think that Konsa has looked just as good him, and will be a big player for us. Don’t forget our other new signing in that left back position...

Think that's why he said second choice, with Targett 1st choice and Hause back-up LB could potentially open up a place for Tuanzebe at CB with Konsa/Engels backing up in the middle. Axel is a lazy link though. We don't need him anymore, a shame but oh well we've moved on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic09 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I think people are to hasty to bring in another striker or winger. We have good options in both positions and just bought £130million worth of players. I think we are good for the next 4 months, let's see where we are in the table and strengthen in the winter if we are short. If we are doing well, we can bring in a much better calibre of player than we can now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are doing well, we can bring in a much better calibre of player than we can now. I think the concern is that if Wesley gets injured we are really weak in the striker position. One more forward who play wide and through the middle helps negate that. I think even if we buy now, we’ll still have money available in January if needed, but buying now is easier.

I agree unless we’ve been very unlucky injury wise. It’s hard to pick up good signings in January. Players who are on form won’t be easy or cheap to get and players who aren’t in form aren’t what you need in the middle of the season when they need to hit the ground running. If we need players and have the money, then spend it now. We should continue to be proactive rather than reactive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
