Maybe not, but he's definitely more of a dead cert in terms of knowing what you're going to get than Hall, Livramento, Tonali, Minteh. We knew what we were getting with Trippier, Burn, Targett, Wood, even Bruno imo because he looked so complete already. Now that we're signing potential the obvious risk is in the unknown. So far, so good with Isak. We'll see how we get on with the rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 That first window was pretty much needs must. Wood and Burn were very much with the short term in mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I know Howe has said that this is us done and could well be telling the truth but I do wonder if this is being said for the benefit of Chelsea agreeing the deal. Pizza Rob had us watching centre backs and I think we could still move for one of the right deal becomes available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggys First Goal Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 We should bring a player in for around £5m who we can then sell to Chelsea next summer for £100m+ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Given the squad as it is now. If the 2024 summer transfer window started tomorrow. Our budget is 75 million net.

If one of the CBs we've looked at ends up being available on a loan + obligation we'll 100% investigate it. I don't think we'll do any more deals that aren't loan first though.

I think we’ll need quite a few new players. We have a number of players out of contract at the end of this season: Dummett Schar Lascelles Wilson Ritchie Krafth Karius Manquillo Gillespie I’d expect only Schar and Wilson will be offered new deals. If no other players are sold I’d expect we’ll need to replace the others, so therefore maybe: 1 Gk 1 RCB 1 RM Then more young players to fill the gaps in defence.

54 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) I remember when the takeover happened, Amanda said that they'd rarely look to do business in the January window. It makes me wonder that, if injuries not withstanding, we'll go with the same squad for the whole season, especially given we have multiple players that can fill every position now. Guess to the only caveat would be if another opportunity comes along that they want to bring forward, ala Gordon.

Yeah, we’ll have no intentions of signing anyone in January unless a perfect situation arises for a player that fits our profile. We might sign a Kuol or Minteh though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
