Now That's What I Call Transfer Rumours! 7

Really needs to be 2 but if it must only be 1 then RW is certainly what it needs to be. CDM is important but we hugely lack goals and creativity to break down defensive teams, especially when Wilson and Bruno are out so RW I think should take priority.

 

Pulisic is the dream ofcourse but can't see that happening and Harrison seems very unlikely now so they'd need to pull soemthing out the bag in the next few days.

Aye he pretty much admits he's guessing with that Isak line.

Waugh saying 2 more in still wanted.

Douglas is saying that too. 
 

Another midfielder is priority. Anything else is just a bonus. Still holding out hope for Maddison with Leicester looking to be in a bit of shit already.

Been having a debate with a mate about what we need more, I'm firmly in the Almiron isn't good enough camp so we seriously need a proper RW, but now having seen what our midfield looks like without Bruno I think that area should be priority if it's only one.

 

These injuries are already exposing glaring squad weaknesses all over, but we can't buy a full new squad it will take a few seasons to have a quality squad in full, I just hope we are getting the injuries out of the way early.

 

Personally I'd like a Maddison type middle player as a priority, someone positive and creative, a bigger threat from the RW position brought in, and maybe even a right back on loan until January.

 

Would hope that we can somehow offload Murphy until too so he can play as little as possible.

Mark Douglas thinks one more in, on loan.

 

 

Douglas is a puff piece merchant like his pals in The Athletic, writes lovely wordy articles after the fact but has fuck all intel on breaking transfer stories. Also found his last line dig at the kit unnecessary and tedious:

 

There’s certainly enough enterprise and endeavour there to suggest, from a footballing perspective, this is a project starting to gain a bit of momentum. Just ditch the shirts.

Right, 4 days left. Hopefully get 2 in. Good thing is any deals cannot be dragged on now. Can’t complain 1 more and it’s a pretty great window 2 more and the squad is looking very good.

Can’t see it. They’ll only want to sell to buy so very doubtful they’ll sell this late in the window. Also doubt we’ll offer enough

It's because of exactly this why everyone has been begging for Paqueta. The versatility would have been perfect for our thin on quality squad. 

With Bruno out he would have been the 'door opener'. With Wilson out, he could play as false 9 instead of Wood so ASM and Miggy have more movement around them. And when Bruno / Isak / Wilson are back he could play with Bruno and Joe in an amazingly high quality midfield threading through chances for Isak and Wilson to finish. 

Everyone could see it, that's why there was so much clamour and thought porn. 

 

I can't think of one single attainable player that could have 'completed' this team's gaps as much as him.

Balls on the bath, then…

 

Do we get a midfielder and winger?

 

I think ultimately... yeah. I think we loan someone and they probably end up a little desperate and slightly over-paying for someone. Wouldn't be shocked at all if it's two Chelsea lads. Pulisic loan and Gallagher buy.

They apparently need to reduce their wage bill because they're in danger of failing UEFA FFP rules, if they get into Europe. So I don't think they'd be looking to sell to buy.
