We had two former managers who used to hang all their hopes on “that bit of magic” and both of them were devoid of any managerial or tactical know how and were completely clueless.

Ikon Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) I have said that I want a creative player with flair as well as decent pace. Personally I’ve never seen ASM as the solution for this. Especially against teams defending deep. I’m hopeful that they will get someone in for that right side. If not then I can see us dropping much more points than we would with one in, despite dominating the game overall. Think teams will be more aware and most importantly less naive when they play us. Especially the lesser teams. Edited July 24, 2023 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by those names you mean £50M+ signings then I dont think so. I reckon we could only afford to get one more player in if we were to pay Isak money. But I can see two more coming in at £25M/£30M each and then perhaps a loan with option to buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Think we really need another right sided forward player. Almiron/Murphy doesn't cut the mustard for a top 4 side with CL commitments. I think we need a new left back too. Id be happy if we got both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Conor Gallagher been made available for £35 million, can’t see us being interested anymore, however we do seem to go in for long term targets when they are available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon88 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 not sure what Gallagher offers. Bit of a headless chicken, who’s got a great engine and runs/presses, but do we need more of that type, or do we need to start shifting towards more technically gifted players, who can unlock defences? I think the latter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about Almiron/Murphy, but our priority should be a left back. I thought a LB would be the top priority during this transfer window. I love Big Dan but he's not a left back, and definitely not someone who can fend off opponents in the top 6 of the PL nor will he be against CL teams.
