Ash Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Right, that's Hanley done so who do we think will be next in? Messi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I think we'll be after a creative midfielder and a more experienced striker next. We're lacking creativity in midfield, especially if a lot of teams are going to be sitting back when they play us. All of our strikers are young and will be prone to lapses in form and confidence, so we'll need an experienced striker with a decent goalscoring record to take some of the pressure off them during the course of the season. I'm saying this without actually being able to name anyone who'd fit the bill though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Creative midfielder for sure, it outweighs every other need by a significant margin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Right, that's Hanley done so who do we think will be next in? Free agent with tonnes of Championship experience, possibilities: Faurlin Robson Kanu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hope it's a few exciting attacking midfielders who can play in a proper midfield 2 or 3 and not exclusively be a #10. Unless we offload poor Siem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 So then Sels Elliot Darlow Mbabu Anita Hanley Chancellor Lascelles Dummett Haidara Gamez Hayden Dogback Tiote Shelvey De Jong Saivet Thauvin Aarons Ritchie Armstrong Perez Gayle Mitrovic Krul Jaanmat and sissokunt out for 30m. A proven goalscorer and creative midfielder and I would say we are good to go and will be well in profit on transfers too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 And a winger and LB i'd say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Yeah you could make a argument for a LB. If we keep thauvin him Aarons and Ritchie should be enough. Get rid of them 3 I mentioned and there should be plenty money to make 2 or 3 more good signings then that will be one good strong looking squad for the championship Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 So then Sels Elliot Darlow Mbabu Anita Hanley Chancellor Lascelles Dummett Haidara Gamez Dogback Tiote Shelvey De Jong Saivet Thauvin Aarons Ritchie Armstrong Perez Gayle Mitrovic Krul Jaanmat and sissokunt out for 30m. A proven goalscorer and creative midfielder and I would say we are good to go and will be well in profit on transfers too Think it will be more than 30 mill for those 3 more like 40 I would say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Yeah well even better I was just thinking at least 30m. Without them 3 that leaves us with a 24 man squad of no real deadwood, yeah couple of them aren't the best but will do as squad players in the championship. Not even counting likes of gouffran and rivière either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 You missed out the lad from Arsenal and I would keep Krul, plus there is a few duckeggs not on that list to get rid of Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hopefully Tiote is going to stay, because our CM area is proper weak if not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Some reason I want to keep Thauvin now and let him play in his #10 position to see how that goes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Will likely see an even further transformation of that squad should we get promoted after this upcoming season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 And a winger and LB i'd say Don't really need a winger if Thauvin stays, agree on LB mind. To me creative CM is most important, we have loads of DMs but Shelvey is the only creative CM we have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubestationatmidnight Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Agreed. Should have the funds and the time to get them in. Will be the strongest squad in the league by a country mile then it's over to Rafa! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me creative CM is most important, we have loads of DMs but Shelvey is the only creative CM we have. What if Aarons is out injured for big parts of the season and Thauvin just doesn't deliver? I have a good feeling about Thauvin but you never know, and even if he does well one extra is needed imo. Especially with Gini and probably Sissoko gone eventually... Agree about the CM part Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Creative midfielder Left back Winger Experienced striker proven at scoring at this level Then I think we all agree there would be no weaknesses in that squad for this level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Assuming Sissoko and Wijnaldum deals get wrapped up... Needs: 2 CMs (with attacking / creative emphasis), 1 LW, 1 LB, 1 Striker. If Janmaat is sold, then another RB to compete with Mbabu/Sterry/Anita? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 You can do what if thing with every position though CM is literally the only position where we literally have nobody the rest is a "what if this happens" situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
