No complaints here. Midfield is our most pressing issue tbh. Half teh reason the CB's look so gash is because they are massivelly exposed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 A lot of articles on our transfers seem to suggest we are putting a high price on Premier League experience, but then linking us to Rodon (13 PL games) and Nat Phillips (17 PL games). Personally I'd rather take a chance on player with a higher ceiling than those two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 We're currently on a 2/10 Transferometer rating from me. Bruno would take it to 4/10, Burn to 5/10, and Bakker to 6/10. I'm going to need an exciting right-sided CB and a second striker in the Zapata/Nunez mould to hit the big 10. If we end up with the equivalent of Phillips and Lingard instead, I'll top out at an 8. Trippier, Carlos, Botman, Digne, Guimaraes, and Zapata/Nunez would've been off the scale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to sound like ManDoon here now, but CM was the number one priority for me going into the window, and to get someone of his quality could literally change the entire look of the team. The quality of Bruno and Trippier is far better than we deserve, considering where we are in the league. Wood, while massively overpriced, was a canny short term signing that we were desperate for. It's probably a 6 out of 10 for me, rising to an 8 if we get a good CB and LB. Add a Lingard/striker and we're closing in on the 9s and 10s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 We’ve seemingly been trying for lingard since the beginning so I’m assuming we have a backup option to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I think we need Bruno and a centre back as an absolute minimum on top of what we've got, otherwise it goes down as a poor window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Centre back or two is essential. Striker would be nice but we can probably get away without one if we stop shipping so many goals, I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlymouthGeordie Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Getting Bruno seems to have removed a lot of the stress and pressure for the remainder of the window. Next priority is clearly a CB. Although Burn is an upgrade on Clark he will be underwhelming compared to Carlos and Botman. Also, he does very little to reduce an already ageing back line. Not sure where we go on a CB though. I'm really not sold on Burn, Phillips, Rodon, Tarkowski etc. Webster would be good but no chance of signing a top CB from another PL club this late in the window. With Bruno here though, I feel like regardless of what happens we can enjoy the rest of the window as we'll definitely sign a CB, they just won't be of the Botman/Carlos pedigree.

Yorkie Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Bruno, Trippier and Wood and ~£70m spent would make for an incredible window tbh, despite the fact it would mean not having plugged every gap. No other team is coming close to that level of investment, meanwhile - compare it to how the window would've shaped up had the takeover not happened. I'm still absolutely buzzing over just Trippier tbh, what a fucking signing that was. Stick Bruno on top of that and it's two outrageous upgrades. Obviously I hope we get a CB like cos we do need a boost in that position, but the extra striker, or Lingard, or a winger would definitely be bonuses at this point.

Just find that an absolutely incredible view tbh, and getting at the owners/Howe etc for the sake of it. The level of investment and quality of players we've recruited is off the scale compared to other windows, including Wood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
