M_Afro Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I still think we will move for Brennan Johnson. He can play anywhere across the front three and gives us even more pace and energy to the attack. Whatever happens I suspect the focus will shift to off loading some players now. We will need to free up some wages at some stage. The three players bought in so far will be on massive wages compared to the rest of our squad, with a few obvious exceptions.

ferguson1 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) As exciting as this window is, I really hope we sign a back up goalkeeper of a decent standard this window. We’re starting to see real quality of two players for every position, but any significant injury to Martinez and then the drop off in quality using Olsen is massive.

Brennan Johnson is one that I really hope we can sign now. We should have a fair bit of budget left this summer considering how well we've done with the Diaby and Torres fees, and that doesn't include anything we can recoup through sales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Another few in I reckon. RB, FW, GK. Maybe a surprise. A few out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Excellent window so far. for me, I would now like: A backup keeper that doesn't give me tourettes. A right back. A forward (Ferran, Johnson or similar) Anything over and above that is just Cream on the cake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlyDirk Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Agree with Mazrim.... Either Doku on a perm or Torres on loan with an option to buy, a specialist RB and a reliable backup GK who would have composure rated as above 4 on FM. That would set us right. More would be a bonus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what system we play. If we want both fullbacks at attack, sure. If not, then I’d prefer someone more solid there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 What has happened to the links to players like Guendouzi who can play a more defensive midfield role? I thought that was an area we intended to strengthen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was an area we intended to strengthen. Guendouzi's more attacking tbf and the reason the interest cooled I dare say, is because John McGinn happened. Since Unai arrived, he went up several levels and hasn't looked back. Tielemans can play a holding role deeper (as a DLP) and in a more attacking role, so he's basically the rotation option for McGinn IMO. I doubt we'll be looking at another CM. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
