Yeah. We all know we are signing Tielemans anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 We will probably sign someone out of the blue that we haven't been linked with, or find ourselves linked with someone out of the blue and then sign them a couple of days later, was a cliche at one point, but seems to be how we genuinely operate at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) Sangare is slow. The Premier League will be too quick for him. Thuram’s son who plays for Nice is the ideal player to bring in (if he’d come here) to play in a midfield 3 from McGinn, Luiz , Ramsey, Sanson assuming that Kamara will be in the centre of the midfield 3. Obviously as I’ve been away for most of the transfer window I don’t know who Khepheren Thuram has been linked with. it’s a shame Morgan Sanson hasn’t clicked with us as he’s the perfect foil for Kamara and Ramsey. Edit: just seen Thuram linked with PSG and the barcodes. Edited July 16, 2022 by Sulberto21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsey, KKH, Tim etc need more time and need to go out on loan for at least another season. We need to strengthen in midfield, up front and again at centre half if we want to challenge for Europe. We won’t do that so I’d be happy with 10th this season tbh. We can then go again the season after and try to push for 6th-8th. The Bailey and Ings transfers have been a bit of a disaster so far and that is a helluva lot of money right there to not be performing. Poor transfers really, really hinder your ability to improve. You simply can’t make errors when spending that much money on players. Hopefully they come good this season but I won’t hold my breath. Didn’t I read Ings has even involved in more goals last season than any other player? Bailey I will give you, but I am hopeful he can get his confidence and pace back. Why are we so impatient? Give players a chance to settle. The experience brought in should remove some of the pressure on younger players and give them chance to develop. Gerrard stated that Kamara has real game intelligence, if he has that, the pace of the league shouldn’t matter as he should find/hold pockets to both break up and support play. If we can create an environment for players to go out and play, then we will see results. Good case in point, England Test Team, same players, different approach, results.

El Segundo Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I doubt Kamara or Carlos would have signed for us unless Gerrard, Purslow and Lange were able to "sell the project" with promises of some ambitious incomings apart from them and Coutinho. So I'd be surprised and disappointed if there aren't at least two more major signings before the window closes, especially as our net spend so far is only around £30m so FFP shouldn't be an issue.. I'd bet Kamara and Carlos wouldn't be too happy either if we're done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shocked to find Smith had been sacked but I now think that Gerrard is a bigger name in football and can therefore attract bigger names due to his playing exploits mainly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have no problem with him. Reminds me in many ways of Roy Keane. Same build , less hatred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I really want us to sign Calvin Bassey, I think he would be perfect for us. Tall, strong, fast, good technique, young and can play in many positions. He could compete with Digne for LB, cover for Mings at LCB, even challenge Ramsey for the no 6 role. With Augustinsson coming in I guess we wont go for Bassey as I understand he is predominantly a LB. But please bring him in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo the midfield is our weak spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also about 6’5” or something too. At 21 we’d be ok rotating him with Luiz too. Not sure of his pace but I don’t think he’s slow. Would be nice to get in before the big boys for a change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
