AvfcRigo82 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I suppose their biggest bit of transfer business this window was Jude Bellingham leaving for Dortmund... Must be fun being linked to all those players that will be getting them playing champions league football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll see how we’re looking once we get a few signings completed. You never know, it’s possible that none of the players we’re actually after have even been reported on. Plenty of reason for hope and optimism, we need to take the impetus from staying up forwards and I’m sure we will make progress. Forget the doubts, we’ve been improving year on year since NSWE & Dean arrived. We can’t expect instant success, these things take time and its a step by step process.

If he’s coming in with another then so be it, but if he’s the striker... oh gawd. Depends on the price difference. If Wilson is available for £15M then I wouldn't be paying £25m for Watkins. I think people need to be open to the fact that we might not have as much to spend as has been touted in the press (£100M) I did post some itk last week though that we were reluctant to meet Wilson's wage demands - as he is already on a good whack.

KH** Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 It’s probably a case of using Callum Wilson as an alternative to push the Watkins deal through 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be amazed if Watkins doesn’t come to us given his previous with Smith. The one I think may be ringer is Edouard. I suspect we’re in for an established striker playing in Europe.

I really hope so, hope we’re not just signing more familiar and lower quality players (eg Wilson). I’m sure we are looking at younger players with big potential though and not wasting funds and wages on older, short term signings. Edouard is a link that excites me, he looks really talented with good technique and has a great scoring record for such a young player. Honestly, I can’t see how anyone can have a clue at this point. We must’ve appointed Lange for a reason... Hoping for some stunning signings out of left field! Edited August 31, 2020 by Jas10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam2003 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I’m cynical about Wilson but as a short-term solution while Wes comes back and adapts again to English football I support it. Would also like to bring in Watkins and then that’s some solid striking options. Also all begin with W which would allow some great puns and internet gags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicRic Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 1 hour ago, useless said: A new central midfielder is critical and one of the most important signings we will make this summer. At the moment our best midfield three are Luiz, McGinn and Hourihane, we need someone better than Hourihane in the starting eleven, another decent player in there of a similar quality to Luiz and McGinn will make a big difference to us. Certainly that’s hugely important for us and many seem to forget by just screaming two wingers and a striker.. We need someone to challenge and maybe even dethrone one of those guaranteed starters.. For example its like Wesley last season couldn’t score in like 11/12 games i think it were and we had nobody to replace him with and he keeps his position, well we shouldn’t be in that situation where players cant lose their spot when underperforming and the same for Mcginn towards the back end of the season.. I understand he was injured but still thats even more of a case to remove him out the equation if needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
