Bazmonkey Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 this window for me from a business point of view....great...some money off the books...gets rid of some big earners. But from a football view....very risky...smaller squad and relying on everyone staying fit and in the striker position....i.e Watkins....banging more goals than he has done before 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from a football view....very risky...smaller squad and relying on everyone staying fit and in the striker position....i.e Watkins....banging more goals than he has done before I don't think we will be a team that relies on one player scoring all the goals. At Villarreal last season, Danjuma and Moreno were the top scorers, but the midfielders all chipped in with goals. By the end of the season, I'd expect Watkins and Bailey to be leading our scoring charts, with Ramsey, Buendia and Luiz etc. chipping in with goals. We won't be relaying on just Watkins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosopher Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Happy with the outgoings. Apart from Sanson, whom I have seen enough of, the rest aren't good enough. As far as incomings, the lack of a striker and creative midfielder and a left winger mean it was unsatisfactolry. However the return of Traore, who I think is a useful player (but ultimately not good enough if we want to be a European qualifier) alieviates the shortage of forwards somewhat. As many have said it's better to not sign anyone then sign the wrong players, so I can only assume the players we wanted weren't gettable this Jan, in which case the prudent choice was not sign anyone. I still think we can make an assault on the European place, as long as we are lucky with injuries, and VAR! However we are definitely outsiders in that race. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was more the idea that Portuguese Ronaldo would need a visa to live in europe But you're also right, for as much as they might talk it up a man with £175m in his bank is not going to struggle in the UK either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the true intentions of the club, was....so its no good speculating, either ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can get 6-8 goals in the remainder of the season, with others chipping in as has been happening since Emery joined - we'll be doing great. People (not necessarily you) forget that although Ings had 6 goals in the PL this season - 2 were penalties. As you say - staying fit is key. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
