The College Dropout Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 The last time we were in the CL running come January, we got 1 first-teamer for the push. With this lot, I would hope for 2. And then some young lads. We can't keep playing Jacob Murphy man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to think if they want to consolidate the champions league push, they would go after 2 starters and 3 to come off the bench. I doubt we would be able to continue the high intensity we show now until the end of the season without reinforcements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I just don't know how they'll play it, I'm certain they'll strengthen and push upwards -- whoever comes in has their work cut out breaking into this team. Love it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I still cannot see massive changes happenings, I believe targets/plans may change due to our position i.e. moving a potential summer signing to the Jan rather than waiting but not expecting more than 1 first team started to come in, better quality squad players would be appreciated though.

I think they might target a Left forward and a defensive midfielder as players that would be starters and then a right sided defender and central midfielder for the bench Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloGeordio Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 They will do what they can and what they believe we need if players of the right fit are available. All falling nicely within whatever is left of the FFP malarkey. Every bit of ground they can buy, they will to keep us up there. Eddie and his teams form isn’t an accident. Forms been up there since Jan 2022. We good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 You'd be hard pressed to take out the interchanging Willock/Joelinton left side. Its virtually unplayable when Willock is getting goals like this. Joelinton's ability to execute the press, cover the pitch -- phenomenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazeT44 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Apologies if mentioned on last 2 or 3 pages but apparently we're expected to go back in for Diaby. PiF apparently 'in love" with him according to an article I read today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep totally agree - with ASM you potentially have Big Joe and Burn covering him - our attack is too lob sided to the right currently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Speaking to a Watford fan and the thoughts amongst many of them is that Pedro is coming here either Jan or the summer, the new contract was to keep him happy after the deal stalled in the summer and not an intent to keep him longer term Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
