doaflip Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I'll be surprised if we sign anyone else. I think we've spent the money we got in from transfers and we will start the season with what we've got and go from there. Pretty happy with where we are compared to last season in terms of quality in the squad. I don't think we need further depth in the center of the park immediately. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we will get a gimmick signing for the sake of it. I would like Pepe Sarr - but not at £50m I think we could still sign 4 players: DM/DLP - JWP is the big target I feel. I think we'll keep trying and pushing this one. AM/AML - We bid for ESR twice (apparently). This was after already signing Buendia. The signings since (Bailey and Ings) are different types of players, so I reckon we are still in this market. Cantwell is the option here, for the right price, I feel. GK - An experienced backup. We've already been rebuffed by 2 keepers so far according to the rumours. CB - A youngster / loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Not sure if they have anyone we could sign, but apparently Inter Milan are in danger of going into liquidation and everyone of their players is for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three we have signed and kept Grealish, I’d have said yeah we mean business. If we stick with what we’ve got, I’d start to question how serious we are and if we are just another selling club, happy to hover around mid table.

But I don't see us running around like headless chickens in the transfer market. The problem isn't only the money is getting high calibre players to join a club not playing in Europe.

thunderball Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Others will arrive. They are going after bigger fish now, waiting for the window to play out, it’s now about guiding the lily. No urgency. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I’m jumping the gun, but questions should be asked if we don’t strengths further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
