midds Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Players for the final third needs to be the priority now imo. GK and defence is sorted now, it's not perfect but it's more than good enough now. Midfield is adequate but could do with another ace CM or DM to fix it for the time being. We're short up top - ASM is inconsistent, Wilson is injury prone, Wood is (let's be honest, a plank) Gayle is substandard, Fraser is fitful, Almiron has little end product and after that there's nothing tbh. Could do with 3 players to provide competition and raise the threat going forward in that final third and that's going to cost. Need to look at loans and free agents to try and fix it asap. All that said I'm not flapping at all, the new owners have already put their money where their mouth is and invested. I'm not greedy and I'm not impatient and it'll not happen in 1 or 2 windows, it'll take 8 or 9 windows to build the squad we're after. My advice would be to be patient and build it slow and solid and give it a few years, you can't fix everything at once Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 The team is massively bloated, might want to shed some players before bringing anyone else in. I think 2 attacking players one being a RW and a young centre mid and I'd be happy with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently due to not being able to agree with him on his contract, which runs out next summer, Lyon have shockingly made him available for around £13 million! That's an unreal coup for someone. If we are looking at Eriksen, I'd much rather we went for Aouar instead tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I would love a technically proficient midfielder (eriksen would be ace but still think he'll end up at man u or something) who can help keep posession and control games, its something we lack. I have doubts we will get a right winger and a striker, I think more likely we'll got a right winger who can play striker if needed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc123 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Is Dembele at Lyon on his way to some club? Last year of his contract. Still young. Over 20 goals this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midfielder would be a welcome bonus. I’d take a winger who can play up front or vice versa plus a midfielder and I’d be very happy. That’d effectively mean 8 new first-team starters and 2 new squad players in 2 windows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Think the club would be wise to sit back and observe what is going on for a bit now. I'm certain we will get the one or two more players in that we require, it's a case of who and how much. From the striker point of view, if the right player isn't available, I'd rather we took a gamble until January or next summer by keeping our powder dry, especially if we have secured another winger. Looking towards next summer, we might not be looking at 5 or 6 signings but 2 or 3 big big money ones. That will be the time when we can dream of an Isak or an Osimhen.

And a more defensively minded midfielder would be a bonus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
