r0cafella Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I’d be ok with missing out on him personally. They are asking for a ridiculous fee if the media is to be believed and given the state of us at present it has disaster written all over it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) I wish we'd sort out our totally abysmal central midfield. I understand the need for a centre back but we're total diabolical in Central midfield. 1 centre back would do for me with Fernández back in training.

worthy Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I honestly think that a manager with a bigger name would have had a bigger pull in the market regardless. But us not being able to identify any other players than fucking Tarkowski and Wood besides Botman and Carlos is fucking terrible. Whomever is in charge of recruiting needs a fucking word cause seemingly our recruitment team is just looking at a list of 4 players and PreMiErLeAgUe ExPEriEnCe. Fuck me.

There have been plenty of midfielders linked- maybe even more than defenders. We haven’t heard of any bids unlike defenders though. Obviously that’s not to say bids haven’t gone in.

Fantail Breeze Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I think, based on absolutely nothing, names like Wood and Tarkowski are Howe picks and that worries me about how PFM he possibly is. Edwards was right about Wood and the other names he was putting out were people like Solanke, who I think Howe would be interested in. Said it earlier, if we’re not willing to break budgets to pay for someone like Botman, I don’t see how Tarkowski would ever be possible as Burnley are not going to be a willing seller.

Howe might well be thinking those types are more straightforward and quicker to bring in due to the current situation. Really not sure now is the time to be overly ambitious in the market, due to how long it is taking to get players in. I think PIF are doing way too much this window and I'm now leaning towards them having made a mess of it really. PIF have not really tied up any deals yet. Trippier wanted to come back to England, and it is more likely Howe heard about it and used his familiarity with Trippier to facilitate things and convince him to join. Chris Wood was then signed due to the agent alerting us to his clause. PIF seem to be not managing to get deals done so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The lack of CM’s we’re getting linked to is very, very concerning. I hope Howe’s not looking at our squad and thinking we’re fine there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day whoever comes in is about surviving this season. If they help do that, great. If not, Howe will be sacked, because those players are not much use for the future. Well maybe one season to get us out of the second division. I truly hope Howe isn't buying with that in mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of proper positioning, closing down and tackling in midfield is just as big a reason for our defensive problems. We need a proper DM, without a doubt.
