Come on man, stop trying to be clever, we aren't going to sign anyone else or we would have done it by now. We will sign at best a replacement for Carlos and that will be it, probably someone not close to his level and most likely a bit of a panic buy. The CM will be the same as last season, Luiz probably won't sign a new deal as that is dragging, and no new CF. How can anyone be optimistic about that.

Nigel Posted August 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2022 I dont want a stop gap squad filler, if we are to bring in a player he has to be quality. Maybe we could take advantage of Barcelonas situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Kamara and McGinn are both central midfielders. But they perform different roles. Football teams whop play from the back require a ball playing CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambers is defo a ball playing defender. I suppose the question is whether he is good enough overall to be the no.1 RCM in Carlos' absence. tbf tho, Gerrard seems to prefer Konsa.

Condimentalist Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 A high quality loan would for a CB would make sense if we can arrange it, but I can't see us splurging big dollar to take our squad CB count to 6. Chambers and Konsa should be able to cover in the meantime - Chambers deserves a go IMO. If we still have decent money to spend then strengthening the midfield remains the priority IMO - but we may need to sell first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was considered a big deal (literally and figuratively) a few seasons back. Deffo worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Hause is a ball playing centre back. He plays one twos with Steve in DE P5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Our finances must not be as great as some people think, we have a net spend over last two season of -£16m, which is quite low compared to most other teams in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSw Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Could use this as an opportunity to upgrade the CB position. Try and sell Hause and Konsa and generate about £20m between them and go and sign a top class defender. Then when Carlos is back you'll have him, Mings, Chambers and the potential new signing to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our wages have massively increased though Except Grealish the other players we lost were not on big wages Kamara, Ings and Digne for example are probably on 3 times as much as Samatta, Hourihane and Targett 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s more the squad size and associated wage bill. We are paying for a poor record in the transfer market resulting in us buying players, realising they’re not good enough and either loaning them out or selling them at a loss. If Gerrard is not going to use Guilbert, Traore, Sanson and Hause then they have to leave to give us any chance of bringing in improvements to the starting 11. Otherwise we will stand still, at best, this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 the other thing on net spend is we got kamara for £0 and coutinho for what we all considered a bargain if we'd paid £40m for each the net spend concern would go away but the smarts of negotiation would go away too, the net spend argument to me almost seemingly criticises purslow for getting in 2 top players for very little in terms of transfer fee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again your not accounting for wages, signing on fees etc. It's just not that simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
