thunderball Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Strange that we have had no exciting forwards rumours. We have smashed defence - full marks. But our offensive side looks very short of PL depth and quality. Not even any links other than Trezeguet and he is likely a rotational player rather than nailed on. Our position of weakness last season was Wide right midfield/forward. No one mentioned yet. It’s a gaping hole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jota is massive upgrade on Adomah/Green. Do you doubt us to do the necessary business before window shuts? It's been outstanding so far 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there's been Maupay, Leao, Benrahma etc but I reckon we're still looking at forwards and one may materialise that nobody sees coming. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was one of those average striker and thats it (although it was a great goal from him). The one who I noticed was Benrahma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jota came through sha fan I guess after it was done. Mings, Hause and El Ghazi were all planned and everyone knew about. Wesley came out of nowhere while it was done. Same goes with Engels and potentially Douglas. It's only Targett that the press got the interest right from the beginning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 After Douglas I still feel we need the following as a minimum. 2x Wingers 1x Striker 1x GK If one of those wingers could also play up top, someone like a Bowen, then I’d sacrifice buying another and purchase further depth in central midfield.

Reach, Bowen, Butland and Woods (not Tiger). Job done and change back from £60m. Just as likely to be 4 completely different talented players though and one more or one less than 4. What a window this has been already. As Mr Burns would say, "Excellent" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible unveiling of our new DM perhaps? Surely not on a Wednesday? Special Guest would not be a player more likely Tom Hanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted July 17, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 17, 2019 I'm starting to fear we'll be left with Steer and Kalinic. Where are all the keepers Dean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean proper smoke (eg French press all over Engels; Dutch press all over Nakamba; lots of smoke around Philips/Butland/Heaton) not idle speculation. I have read one single link to Laeo (“unamed PL team, is it Big spending Villa”); Maupay/Benrahma is an obvious link due to DS, but no negotiations or suggestions of offer. It makes you wonder if they are trying to land the Plan A target which is left-field, and the Maupays/Benrahmas are Plan B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves way more credit Yeah I kinda agree now the dust has settled a little from the initial excitement of maybe signing a Butland .... Also after recovering from injury and having 6 months to settle in England maybe kalinic will come good, you never know ( do expect us to still sign a GK though) .... more worried about other positions at present.

Popular Post Ponky Posted July 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2019 I know it's not transfer related as such, but do we think we can arrange to all sign and send a card to Darren Bent, telling him to just **** off? 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
