Hope that’s not the case TBH. Straight bat again from Howe, I'm quite sure they know exactly what the score is for the injuries. I'll be amazed and hugely disappointed if we don't have at least one in by tomorrow. Massive opportunity lost if we don't. I'm pretty sure we will though.

I am optimistic that we are going to add at least one player. Yeah, only the Krafth injury is long term though. As far as we know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Really could do with a Jonjo replacement. I think it should have become a priority after we knew how bad the injury was. No guarantee he gets back into shape well knowing what he's like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 5 hours ago, Whitley mag said: It’s about long term and not short term, he hasn’t exactly propelled Leicester up the league. He’d be on considerably higher wages than either of those 2 aswell, we could get better in January. I agree with this to an extent. I think he'd improve our midfield for sure, but for how long? I think he'd be the weakest of the midfield three. Off the boil last season. Lost his place in the Leicester side, lost his place in the Monaco side before that. Initially I thought 20m would be a snip but considering his wages and after what I've read about him, I'm not sure. Leicester fans seem to be sick of him. There's an article in the Athletic which suggests that Leicester are happy to move on and his lack of athleticism really does give him a ceiling as a PL footballer. He won't be taking a paycut and might be very hard to shift if we need to. I wouldn't be totally opposed but the more I read and think about it, the more I can't say I'm convinced he's what we need in the longer term.

Wolfcastle Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) I really do think we need something. All things being equal were fine. Its just the amount were stretched at present and the efforts the players are putting in is going to tell on them eventually without being able to alternate them. A couple of those alternate were absolutely carrying too. *See this has already been said but better above.

Happinesstan Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Once we get Palace out of the way we're back to one game a week, hopefully the toll on our fitness will level out and we'll be fine going forward.

PlymouthGeordie Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Regardless of whether we get 1, 2 or nobody at all. It is reassuring to know the club will be active on deadline day i.e. ready to move should a good loan deal present itself. Nothing worse than getting the "closed for business" briefing at midday on deadline day under Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I know it is going to take time to build a good squad but I’m amazed we’ve done two windows with these owners and are still in a position where we’re putting Murphy on almost every game. For as good as our signings have been it’s been shocking business from the club not to address a key position like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 A midfielder and a winger would be a superb end to the window. Think we'll only get 1 of them though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But surely with a fully fit squad, Murphy gets very little if any game time at all. The assumption is the front 3 will be ASM, Wilson and Isak, with Fraser and Almiron as first backups.

Fair to say we've been looking for someone this whole summer, but they need to want to join us, be the right type of player with the right type of character and at the right price. We'll get there soon enough if not this transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand many are keen to see new players play as much as possible even if it means playing them out of position, but neither Wilson or Isak are wingers and I think shoehorning both in the current formation we play will be to the detriment of the team. They have as good as no experience playing in that position if you look at they entire careers up to now: Wilson: Isak: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWTL Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Hope we get Tielemans i think he would be a great addition. Great passing ability and would be extremely happy with this window. Another winger would be good but that can wait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
