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. 5/10 now, provided no hiccups. Still think there’s at least two to come, more likely three or four.

McCormick Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Think it’s 2 tops after Bruno and Burn, personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I would still be shocked if no attacking signing is made, we have chased one all window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Can see an AM and possibly another striker, GK and LB and that being that. I know the team needs an overhaul but having like 8 new players in a starting 11 this quickly would be insane Edited January 30, 2022 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else is a bonus now. Eternal optimist, with some rationale. Two loan slots still to use (Hope already saying Henderson is likely coming), and we’ve spent far less on the first centre-half than we likely expected to. It’s been clear all window that we’ve been pursuing a left-back, another centre-back, and a forward player. I still think we can get them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think wood is shite (my view I’m not arguing that point again) Burn is decent but he’s also 5th choice. So yes we’ve addressed areas and brought in numbers. we aimed for 2 centre half’s. A left back and another forward. So That’s 3 key positions we haven’t covered and 1 brought in I don’t rate and another who wasn’t near first choice so yeah I think 5/6 out of 10 is sufficient.

robbo_11 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 At present is it 4 players that need to be added to the 25 man squad? You would think Woodman will not make the cut after this window, but who else gets cut/sold with just over a day remaining? You would think Howe wouldn't want 3 mixing with the U23 if they won't be around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
