It's ok, we've got Keinan "Drogba" Davis and Traore, who we clearly signed off the back of his performances as a striker 3 years ago. We're well covered. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love more players especially nice shiny ones but I'm a pragmatist and think we finished our transfer business with Barkley so won't be disappointed if no more come in. Anymore would be a bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post markavfc40 Posted October 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) As a collective you would never want to see the side that played last night in the Premier League, or even a handful coming in at the same time. Two or three of them needing to come into the side at the same time though to cover for injuries/suspensions and we would cope just fine. It is always nice to add more quality but as others have said Rome wasn't built in a day and I think if there are no more incomings we will have still made big strides during this window. If we can keep doing that over the next couple of years we will have a very good chance of getting back to where we all want to be, and where I think we are capable of getting, which is consistently challenging for top 6 finishes.

El-Reacho Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Feels quite similar to the end of the summer window last year when there were concerns that we were light up front. We were all set to sign Berardi on deadline day apparently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't shake that feeling again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its odd to spend so much on RB and a keeper when strikers and wide players were the major weakeness. We’ve signed both but still lack depth for a demanding compacted season. Hopefully Wes is capable of contributing sooner rather than later in the new year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 We obviously are light on quality at left back, cb, wingers and a striker. We are lacking squad depth and need luck with injuries, but we can't expect to build Rome in a window I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 It's simple to me. We can't do much more within the 3 year wage rise FFP restriction..we have probably hit that limit with the signings made and contract uplifts this summer. So to be still wishing for 3/4 more players just won't happen. We will have to go with what we have. And yes that includes some we bought last summer that seemingly are not good enough, which isn't ideal but I think we are at our wages limit.

Kiwivillan Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I'm genuinely concerned about not signing Rashica. Not because I think we need him but because the insanity on here for wanting him. We face arguably the 2 best teams in the PL next in Pool and Leicester followed by high energy Leeds. I feel if results don't go our way will be pretext for shit dribbling about how Rashica would've saved us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just about quality. Got to think of squad harmony, morale, stability. Some of these guys may be contributing off the pitch too. We've got a load of bodies in already - and more likely to be disruptive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Has a reporter ever asking Smith about Rashica? I find it odd that a reporter asked about Roca in an interview today (based on a spurious link) and not a player that we've been linked to all Summer. Or maybe he has been asked and I've missed it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only commenting on this because Rashica was the first player from abroad since probably Carew that I had actually heard of. He'd been building a reputation with Kosovo, who I believe (I pay no attention to England qualifiers) looked good in our qualifying group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
