I think we are about three players short as it stands I still think as it stand right now we only have to sign a striker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be brilliant. We'll be paying him a portion of that until the end of that ridiculous contract though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams have at least one youngster getting some game time, we have erm.... Jacob Ramsey who though young is a senior pro now. Not sure who else is ready, then again no one ever is until they play and look the part, our loans are mostly awful. Yep, I would much rather a smaller squad with young players getting minutes when we have to play them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Rice and Bellingham are nailed on - but who is the third in, say, 2 years time? Mount for example even Ward Prowse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ramsey's competition is Ward-Prowse then he absolutely has a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim > Dendoncker I’m not a fan of Leander, saunters around and is so clunky and casual. Although he’s probably more of an asset than Marv, he must be moved on.

CVByrne Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 7 minutes ago, paul514 said: I still think as it stand right now we only have to sign a striker. Agreed, we've a lot of midfielders. Buendia, Coutinho, Luiz, Kamara, Dendoncker, McGinn, Ramsey. We can also play Moreno / Cash / Young in midfield too. This is assuming Naka / Sanson leave. In the back 4 we've 2 players per position once Carlos is fit. Dendoncker / Kamara also played many top flight games at CB if needed. Up front we've just 3 players. Watkins, Duran and Bailey. So we need one more as you say to fill the gap there. We can also play Beundia / Coutinho behind a Striker if needed (as we've done a few times now). For 18 remaining games that's plenty big squad to cover that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a ceiling to transfer fees in the championship. You don't usually see them being sold for more then 30m. Considering he is a high potential 19 year old then I don't think 30m would be silly money. Granted the player may have to down tools to get Watford to sell though.

DJBOB Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Guendouzi/CF type player/wide pacey dribbler If we can get those three in, then I think that's the window. Desperately need someone other than Bailey that can take on a man. Crux of a lot of our final third problems if we're not in transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the kid at coventry that plays up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
