If we can shift some deadwood, even if it’s only partly shifting on wages then it’s even better. I think we’ll manage to get Fraser out on loan to Celtic where his wages get partly covered. Not sure about Hayden and Hendrick. Hayden may need to go on loan to a low championship club with small wage cover by them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the weakest starting positions and the most important backup. Obviously not every spot in the squad. But a CB and RW. Having said that im more than happy with the window if we sign Hall. Amazing window but not a 10 which would have been flawless. I get your point/rating though which i kind of agree with.

BoSelecta Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 If we sign Hall he’s going to need a senior LB at the club to help him through, he’s barely played there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) I’m not sure about that, I wouldn’t expect absolutely every question to be answered ever really. Every signing has been absolutely quality and has a clear plan behind it. All have the potential to be world class. IMO the weakest starting position is Burn and next Longstaff, Miggy maybe third. But all could be considered important parts of our system. I never really thought we would buy a RW. Edited August 17, 2023 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Speaking of outgoings, just looking at when some of the fringe lads are out of contract. Next summer - Manquillo, Lascelles, Hendrick Summer 25/26 - Fraser Summer 26/27 - Hayden Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) Ideally I would like a CB as well, but it’s a lot of squad turnover and Lascelles is OK for cups and the odd PL appearance. Edited August 17, 2023 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Trippier's role as full back Dad will be fine. Same sort of role, just one is right footed and one is left. Also, fully expect Dan Burn to continue to start consistently at least up to the Xmas period. Feel like the number of games round then is where Hall will get his chance to break in and (ideally) make the spot his own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I don't think it can be a 10 if we don't get a CB - all the reports were that we wanted a CM, LB, CB and a forward/winger. Potentially we wanted a second CM but I think Anderson/Miley have changed that and I think the combination of Barnes coming in and Gordon's form means we're pretty set out wide. 9/10 for me if Hall (or a similar quality LB) comes in.

Pilko Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 9.5/10 if we get Hall 10/10 if we get Hall & shift some of the bomb squad 11/10 if we get Hall & a CB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Seems like a 9/10 once Hall comes in. Ideally Fraser, Hendrick and Hayden would be gone but hopefully that happens in the last couple of days. Ideally we've not blown everything and still have something left to give in January in case of emergency/to push on if we're still in all competitions.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I don't really care about outgoings personally, if we have to pay those wasters to do nothing then so be it. Can't really expect the club to find takers for players who are that bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 We'll get Hall, then I reckon the next signing whether it's this summer, January or next will be a RCB, then we'll start going 'one-in, one-out' when it comes to first team squad transfers.

He won’t want to sell him but Palmer is first team ready now, but has to get past Jack Grealish and whoever else. He’s 21 and he’s just won more trophies in one season than Harry Kane has in total. If he’s got ambition, now’s the time to leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
