You talk like he is the best full back in the Championship or something I know tell me about it, what with him and a certain young Kosovan. Seriously though I think we need to upgrade Tayls, I'd like to say upgrade Targs but that would cost and who knows Rico Henry might be that anyway, I just think he is getable for not silly money and makes us stronger with little disruption. Add in Targs missed too many games last year, makes sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zab6359 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) Real lack of midfield options on our bench last night, surely we are bringing a CM in? Or just moving Jack into midfield I guess. Edited September 22, 2020 by zab6359 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) We are not going to be able to do everything this window, I think LB can wait, we defo need a CM or dynamic DM. I think priority is another striker even after Rashica, we can’t make last seasons mistake. Edited September 22, 2020 by thunderball 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 A dynamic CM and a LW are an absolute priority this window. I remember saying at the end of last window that we needed another winger and another striker - I think everyone did - and that’s exactly what we missed. We’ll struggle again this season without a solid Central Midfielder and a quick left winger. LB will have to wait unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted September 22, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 22, 2020 I would go all out for a defensive midfielder, forget Rashica we have options up front, although they could be described as inconsistent. Our midfield options are poor especially from a defensive point of view. Douglas is brilliant on the ball, see he's role as a more advanced midfielder. He's wasted sitting in front of the defense .

Tomaszk Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Letting Baptiste Santamaria go to Freiburg for £9m was a bad miss IMO. Douglas now absolutely key to the way we're setting up and there's no one who can do it like him. Marvellous couldn't be any further from a direct replacement if he's meant to be the cover. If we get in another forward and CM I'll be pretty excited about the season. CB also needed if Engels is off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I think that's where the links to Swift make sense. However I'd like us to go to Lille and pick up Boubakary Soumaré. Box to box midfielder, strong, quick, technically gifted and tactically very good. He kept getting through on Sunday with a favourite DM of mine Valentin Rongier. Two other players we should look at if a certain kosovan doesn't turn up are Jonathan Bamba or Nanitamo Ikone. Both at Lille and they look like they've got the ability to play in the premier League. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 We need a centre mid who is of similar physique, size, speed and strength to Cash. Someone who can dominate the centre of the park, run all day, move the ball quickly and effectively, put his foot in, score the odd goal and head the ball. Basically we need the new Roy Keane. That shouldn’t be too hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QldVilla Posted September 22, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 22, 2020 Like most have said, quite apparent we need an upgrade in the CM position. Our bench is still bare and we need someone who can come on late in The game and have the ability to change things. We’re not far away but still need another two signings that can make a difference in the wing and CM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your ambition re the other names you mention but only Bamba is realistic. I personally think we’re still more likely to sign Benrahma than Rashica for that LW slot. Alternatively we buy in Edouard and Watkins moves out on the LW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way. Dougs best performances have all been defensive midfield. Rashica is essential. The quality out wide is badly lacking. We do need another CM for squad depth / competition. But Rashica is needed for the first team. I identified the fullback positions as being areas that needed drastic improvement and the start of the window. Nothing of Targetts performance yesterday convinced me otherwise. I can't ever see him being a top left back. He is only good enough for back up. Don't rate him, even if he does have a nice left foot. It's not enough for a modern left back. Edited September 22, 2020 by Philosopher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukes Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 IS Lucas Torreira unreasonable as a DM option ? Not wanted by Arsenal it seems and looked pretty decent at the beginning of last season. Possible loan to buy ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
