Unbelievable Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 12 hours ago, ExiledGeordie said: I think they’ll go for a winger to add goals, attacking 3 options and depth off the bench to change games with various names mentioned. Maddison could well happen as we were clearly interested in the summer but that might be more protracted in Jan and depends how much we can get him for. We could also see areas like RB covered with the loan market maybe. Striker is an interesting one because while Isak can no doubt fill in for Wilson he’s a very different type of player. I think we’ll look to bring in a young striker more in the traditional centre forward mould and if someone became available in Jan don’t rule that out (but more likely next summer). Someone who can deputise for and learn from Wilson moving forwards. We’ve not spent 60m on one of Europe’s hottest striker talents to then go and bring in a young player to “lead the line”. Isak is our long term striker, no doubt about it, unless we go with two up top and need another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners must be looking and thinking there is a hell of an opportunity for a top 6 finish especially with all the teams around us playing in europe.

The owners must be looking and thinking there is a hell of an opportunity for a top 6 finish especially with all the teams around us playing in europe. If we only make one signing in January, for big money, I think a Maddison/Trossard type signing would have a bigger impact than any other position. We have the best defensive record in the league but have at times struggled for creativity (Brighton, Wolves, Palace, Bournemouth). ASM is injury prone and who knows how long Almiron will keep up his Willock-style scoring streak. Yes Isak might work out wide, but as soon as Wilson's injured he's needed up top anyway. Maddison/Trossard give us lots of options and fret. We have Shelvey to come in to add to midfield competition. Yes he isn't a DM as such but he did very well under Howe last season.

Chris_R Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I don't think there's any need to be buying players on £200k/week. If we've seen anything over the last year, it's that there's plenty of players who are willing to come to us for half that wage who will improve us massively. Right now it's about breaking into that top 4, either this season or next or whenever, not about displacing Real Madrid or PSG. Those kind of transfers are for years to come when we need to make that step. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) Whilst I don't think anyone involved in our ownership are anything but "all in" & keen for us to progress their "3-5 years" caveat wasn't just to temper our enthusiasm. It's not rocket science to know that playing in Europe, as well as domestic comps, puts huge pressure on a squad. Even more so when you NEED to be consistently successful in all of them. Even more so again when your DNA is to run the fucking arse off yourselves both in training AND on the matchday. There's an arguement for not getting into Europe. I wouldn't make it like but its there. Edited November 4, 2022 by Groundhog63 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
