I think we are absolutely fine. It's a good point that we only have 11 games until the next window, makes me slightly more relaxed. Although counting with January makes it an additional 5 if we don't bring someone in at the beginning of the window. I rate Mings and now also Konsa very highly, but as much as I rate them, I don't rate Hause. I think he is a liability. Engels I actually don't know what to think of as he has gone missing for a long time. Playing Elmo as CB is a sign of desperation imo. I have the impression that Mings often gets minor problems, but continues playing, I wouldn't like to risk him becoming the next Chester with the packed schedule this season, expecting him to play every minute carrying slight knocks. Konsa is still learning and I think would benefit from not being under pressure to play every game. Mings and Konsa will also go through patches where they drop in form, or get suspended. In essence, I don't think we have any reliable cover for Mings and Konsa, and I don't expect them to be able to play in every game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve no doubt he’ll have another setback before the match that puts him out for a further 6 weeks. There’s no way it’s coincidence that he makes that dreadful error against Spurs and then no one sees him again for 10 months. And if it is coincidence, then I’ll be god damned. I actually quite like Engels, but I don’t think he has a future here. He played the cup final 2 weeks after Spurs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are missing one of them for a couple of games I think we could cope, if it was a prolonged absence I’d agree. I don’t think many clubs in their second season in the PL following promotion have 4 better than we have though. In an ideal world we would have another right CB, a better left back than Taylor and another forward but I’m quite comfortable with what we have through to January. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we brought king we would be nuts it is everything that is wrong with a signing. He is 29, on 7 million a year, with 8 months left on his contract. although he is a decent player he isn’t a player who fits what we do. If we have the money I’d rather sit on it and add it to a future window to buy a player that does fit. Id rather 1 Buendia or Benrahma than 2 kings 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There doesn’t need to be a conspiracy. Its one area where our club secrecy is a disappointment for me. Fair enough, don't leak your transfer budget, don't give away who you're interested in, but the total absence of ANY official club news on the injuries of Wesley, Engels and Heaton just confuses me. It's what leads to the conspiracy theories. Edited October 13, 2020 by MrBlack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaton was in club video interview pre season saying he hoped to be available post internationals but would have to play it by ear then we signed Martinez. Wesley has been mentioned repeatedly aiming for December January and Smith has said Engels has been injured. What's being held back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
