rubberman Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 7 hours ago, barry'sboots said: I could see that - a reserve GK to replace Olsen, a back up right back, a left back to replace Digne (if he were to move on), a DCM (Adams, Jessie, Zakaria type) to replace/upgrade Dendonker, a number 10 (like Lo Celso) to compete with SJM and another wide player (possibly replacing Bailey). This would give us the desired two players per position but wouldn't necessarily impact/disrupt a first 11 but rather upgrade the squad/provide rotation options. Not a chance that this will happen. 6 more new players? That would be ridiculous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted July 29, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 29, 2023 If we don’t get a back up GK that’s a huuuuuge gamble in my opinion. If Emi stays injury free then we forget all about it, but if not then we’ll be in the deep shit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it would be risky if we didn't have one at all or we had an 18 year old kid Instead we've got one who's an experienced international keeper who's played for some big teams around Europe but he's not very good I don't know what second string keeper comes in who's actually better, hard job to find The idea that if we don't sign another 2nd choice keeper martinez will of course get injured and we will lose every game with olsen in goal is defeatism at its finest A new keeper is nice to have, it's not essential or going to kill us if we don't 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just saying it’s a gamble, as if Emi gets injured we don’t (imo) have a competent back up option. Olsen isn’t good enough from what I’ve seen, I do trust UE though and if he thinks he’s good enough then I’m happy… but I think it’s risky.

RichW Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Been on holiday so not really been paying attention to any of the transfer rumours going on past week but looking today seems to have gone quiet now after Diaby. With Wesley gone, I’d imagine we will have to wait for the likes of Davis, Hause and maybe Traore to go before there is any more incomings. Guess the big concern is if Martinez or Watkins get injured/rotated the drop off in quality is concerning but guess there’s still a month to go yet.

So would be unlikely we'd risk signing him injured without being able to do full medical. If we did it would be last week of August type thing with Donk moving at same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emery stated there would be activity with players leaving now and maybe signings later in Window. We need to move players on before we replacement in the squad basically. Say Dendonker or Traore going out for Adams or Johnson coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We virtually gave Wes away and nakamba was always going at that price. We still have the 5 or 6 players who are costing us a fortune and aren’t going to play much. ie Hause, Couthino, Dendonker, chambers, Traore, Davis. Even Digne who is on alot of money for a backup.

Digne is not a back up, he’s an alternative. There is a difference and he’s a valuable member of the squad. He will play loads this season. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexvilla4 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Coutinho and Traore out and Doku in I would be happy with, as well as JPB remaining around the first team squad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digne, Dendonker and Chambers are all very good players who would hold down a place in most Premier League teams. We have to accept it is a squad game now and these players have never let us down. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
