ChicagoVillan1983 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) I think I am at the point where I’m not sure adding in any more bodies into the squad is a good idea. Too many new players to gel together. Great window. Let them all settle in and then wait for January to see what we need. Maybe it shouldn’t, but 6 points in the bag makes me even more confident on that stance (we are 15% of the way to safety with 5% of the games gone).

But I’m 90% sure he meant Barkley. I don't think @Okonokos Was arguing, but answering the question that was put to him, and I agree with him. Also, how anyone can assume we sell a striker and replace him with a central midfielder is quite baffling. Before Samatta was sold we were looking at needing a ST, AML and talking of trying to also strengthen in central midfield too. Now Samatta has gone we still need two players for the void of a striker and also an attacking midfielder - We're looking at someone who can play both those positions!

Firstly, Wesley will be lucky if he kicks a ball for us again before February so I wouldn't even be including him in any discussion for now. I don't think going into the season with Watkins and Davis as our only two strikers is a wise move? AEG isn't good enough at this level imo, whilst Luiz, Nakamba & Lansbury are not attacking midfielders and those 14 players suddenly become approx 8. I'll say it again. We are short in the striker position and we also need someone who can play the attacking midfield role. I feel we are looking to bring in one more player who can play both of those positions. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Bayerns Sporting Director met with their chief yesterday etc. Yeah I read something similar a few days back, it may well be the case they have sniffed around, but if Bayern's offer of oersinal terms is the same as Liverpool & AC Milan then I doubt he will go there either. It's like Jack to Man Utd scenario, he's not leaving to bench warm, not when you're aboit to hit the peak of your playing career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply asked you where you heard it which feels you're now diverting from, I could be wrong. Equally, not obsessed nor stressed either, but thanks for the concern. Listen, I agree, if he arrives he arrives, if he doesn't, then ideally a plan B comes in. But It's evident you have a different feeling to the player/transfer than many other posters on this forum and you've been against it since day one to be fair. Enjoy the window.

Awol Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Definitely don’t think Barkley was signed as the guy who can do a job in midfield and attack, he’s the No.8 that’s been trailed for weeks. Fully expect us to be in the mix over the last 3 days of the international window and trying to secure a forward, if that’s King or Benrahma then our priority targets probably got away. Either way, no one can argue that the club is lacking ambition given our business so far. In Smith we trust. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be delighted if he signs but won't lose any sleep over it if he doesn't. Agree it's been a great window for the club and I'm really optimistic about the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, you have traore down twice. But, secondly and most importantly, you have 6 players for the front 3 positions. (ST, AML, AMR). 1 isn't good enough and should be moved on. AEG. 2 are squad players (Trez and Davis) and we all agreed last year that this should be the case. That leaves 3 definite starters for 3 remaining positions. It's nowhere near enough in respect to competition for places. We pick up an injury, suspension, tiredness with this tight season and we are screwed in those attacking areas. We need more absolutely, 100%. We don't want to be moving players from the CM position to cover these forward areas and take away from the CM position. Of those 7 players you have for those positions: 1 isn't good enough (Lansbury), Ramsey is young and untried on a regular PL level. He's shown a hell of a lot of promise, I'll grant you. Nakamba has had a tough first year and needs time to adapt and develop in the prem league. We aren't as stocked as you seem to make it. Denying us and extra attacking player would leave us in a similar position to last year, we need options. It's something we had nothing of last year. It's a long season, we need to rotate and have options. An extra attacking player (one that covers all 3 attacking spaces, ideally) is IMO exactly what we need!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
