Konsa at one point was a candidate for an England call up and chambers has never had a bad game for us and has some excellent ball carrying and distribution skills. Im happy for either of them to partner Ming's this season rather some buy some rando just for the sake of it IMHO of course Chambers has been great in the games he has played, has an eye for goal and can pick a pass, I’ve been pleasantly impressed with him, been a very good addition 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moves really well for a 6'3/4 CB and has great technical ability. They recently signed him so I doubt we could now but for 10m or so - not a bad player to keep an eye out for. Reckon we can get him through the back door before the end of the transfer window 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I was hoping for a more exciting window, but then, that said I imagine Newcastle fans were too, and I think ours had been better than theirs, but losing Carlos so soon has dampened that feeling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ings - full pre-season. Bailey - full pre-season. Digne - only played half the season. Courinho - only played half the season. Ramsey, Cash, Archer - improving with age, should be better than last season. Kamara - looks like the player we have needed for about 10 years. Gerrard - taking his games into account last season we finish top 10. Granted there are questions on whether Gerrard is the answer and we could probably do with another CM and striker as staters, we are much better off this season than last. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Holding is the answer what the **** was the question. Like others have said if you aren't bringing in a player of such quality in that position that he is a guaranteed starter, what is the point? We don't lack numbers and as we signed Chambers in January we are better off now than we were this time last season. Edit - just to add as well it is an opportunity for us to play a player we will sell next summer for a larger fee as they look useful.... if we are smart about it. So if you don't want Konsa for example then play him and sell him in the summer Edited August 17, 2022 by paul514 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I wouldn't really get the point in letting Hause go to get Holding in. I don't think he's a better player than Chambers, personally. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villaphan04 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 if we sign another midfielder, who's spot does he take? Ramsey's, I would have to assume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Really interested in why we weren't in for Nunes at that price. I can only think we aren't looking to spend that sort of money. Same as Guimaraes, we will not be able to get a midfielder of that level for that price. Wolves will be selling him for £75m inside two years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you he did turn down WHam so the Portuguese connection at Wolves with Lange influential probably swung it. I’m beginning to think that our wage structure has been reigned in a bit following PC and BK signings and that may be what is restricting our activity.
