Oh yeh, totally agree. I’m just speculating on how I think we’ll perform given the players we’ve brought in. Hopefully we absolutely smash it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Personally wouldn't be against no more signings now; although I do feel another midfielder would probably benefit us at CDM. I can understand the reluctance to keep spending now though; our squad is overstocked as it is, especially in central midfield. We need to move players on, and if that ends up being next Summer and selling some players for profits whilst upgrading then so be it. The benefit of not buying is that we can give chances to players like Sanson and Luiz, whilst also giving chances to the youngsters to prove themselves at this level. Another midfielder through the door restricts game time for Ramsey or Chukwuemeka. We've done it before under MON, bought a load of players on high wages who then didn't even feature as first team players. I hope we've learnt a lesson from that, along with the Xia episode of buying players on a whim with no plan. All being said... Bissouma, Anguissa or Wistel would be lovely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we are doing things differently now. We are paying 1m for a lot of these youngsters. It is completely different to developing kids through from u7s and u9s etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. We have 3 key first team players who have been unable to play so far. I'll wait until our full strength team have played a few games together before I start claiming the season is over and Dean will be out of a job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want that either, part of me wants to keep our powder dry. another part wants to strengthen centre mid.
