He's off to Leverkusen on loan anyway, apparently rejected two loan offers in the PL. He's still a good player, he just got injured and has been instructed by Tuchel to play differently to his natural game. I think he could've been good here if we gave him a bit more freedom to operate on the wings with Bailey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I get the feeling there isn't the right midfielder available for us this window. We'll go with a CB and keep Tim around. Maybe loan out Sanson as we can recall him in Jan if he's needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long do we wait to improve a key position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English players are far too often overrated and overpriced too, no thanks. Whilst I agree overpriced, I think JWP would be perfect for us. He has a lot of energy. He is tactically disciplined. He is a leader. He is Barry was, very consistent always gives you at least 7/10. Plus then you add in set pieces, not just direct free kicks, his delivery is very good which would aid the team. Better players out there, absolutely, but would improve us now, for me again, absolutely. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better players out there, absolutely, but would improve us now, for me again, absolutely. Would cost a bomb. Not even a starter or regular for his national team. Not saying he’s a poor player, I’m just not a huge fan. Difference of opinion and whatnot… Sometimes I think people can be too focussed on the PL and home based players, British players too. There is a hell of of a lot of quality and value out there, no need to be restrictive and waste millions. If we were ever going to spend a huge amount I’d like it to be on a genuine star and someone who would massively improve and impact the team. Someone like Milinkovic Savic. It’s not how we operate though and it’s good for the club to take a sensible approach and look for value… maybe that’s changed a bit under SG but I think it’s still the preferable avenue for those running the club. Always best to go for up and coming players (approaching their peak even) rather than players on the way down or who are ageing and overpriced… Anyway, that’s just how I see it. You do you We don’t have to agree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I get excited thinking about signing a top class midfielder that would walk into our first team, then i'm brought down to earth knowing that Gerrard will drop Luiz and play McGinn along side him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be a deadline day thing or it might not come off at all (in which case another season of terrible midfield performances awaits). We’ll sign a CB but I doubt it will be one that fills us with joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) Imagine the CM being Milinkovic-Savic, certainly would be worth the wait IMO I know its not realistic though Edited August 24, 2022 by Rustibrooks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love Gallagher to be one of them, but realistically we need another defensive minded player in there in place of McGinn or Ramsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard said he finds it hard to sleep referring to which attacker to start so no wonder he called of the Sarr Deal 100% we looking at a midfielder with Sanson not on the bench. Exciting times.

useless Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I think there are very recent quotes from Gerrard suggesting that we're still interested in bringing in another forward, it stands to reason, we obvously tried to sign Sarr for a reason, so it follows that now that deal has fallen through we will try for an alternative. I think that's why Gerrard isn't ruling out the possibility of Archer going out on loan, and Iroegbunam is probably in a similar position, if we bring in another midfielder then he likely will go out on loan, he might out on loan anyway. Usually the end of transfer windows are pretty boring for us, but might be different this year with possibility of a defender, midfielder, and an attacker all coming in.

Another loan might happen though, unfortunately Palace would be at the head of the line of clubs, with the Geordie Sheiks trying to elbow past them.
