TRon Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 If I was feeling optimistic I could suppose that we haven't signed anyone yet because we are confident of signing our top targets, i.e., Austin, Thauvin and Wijnaldum. But even that doesn't address the glaring hole in the defence with two weak centre backs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 From the club's point of view we probably have too many CBs on the books already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 The problem for us is - even on the off chance that we stumble blindly into a successful transfer, it's just one. We need six or seven, at least, and yet we are nowhere near competent enough to have multiple negotiations simultaneously. It's all setting up for us to drag our heels and do whatever business we end up doing very late in the window, sacrificing winnable matches in the process. Then, by the time players get adjusted, we'll sell Sissoko or someone else in January (if they haven't been sold by September 1). Long story short, even when we do something right, we do it in the completely wrong way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 From the club's point of view we probably have too many CBs on the books already. There's no law against selling some of them, then buying premier quality replacements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course not - you just have to care enough about quality, be capable of running multiple deals and find someone to buy them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a complicated business which is why I admire clubs like Liverpool and Spurs for managing to pull it off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Like I said yesterday we are going to have to sell as according to the rule book we actually have too many players. Of course removing Ferguson and Vuckic, Rob Elliot and Williamson is preferable to losing Sissoko, but are there takers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need good money, just take what you can get. There was talk of £1m for Williamson from Leeds. Take 500k and get shot. Same for Taylor. There's two spots opened up already.

Chicken Dancer Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 What's the big deal with having options in the squad like? I realise it isn't a priority but the more talent, the better really. Obviously CM is not a priority but competition is healthy, especially when you are improving the squad with better players. That and it will give everyone a lift, including the players.

Deckard 13 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 The only thing that eases my concern is that by and large no transfers have happened that I would have desperately wanted to be a part of, with the exception of maybe Ayew/Payet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Also regarding talk of being able to offload Williamson, not only is he not good enough for many clubs, Carver accusing him of getting sent off on purpose will have potentially put off a good number of other clubs.
