Think we have our top targets like Tapsoba and Silva and we’ll be working on them over coming months. Yeah you’d imagine a right CB or right winger might come in in Jan depending on availability. They’ll know exactly who they want. Edited September 1, 2023 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 We'll regret not signing a CB, like. Schar gets smashed to bits every week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Risky not bringing another CB in and that was clearly what they had planned to do at the start of the summer. The recent episode on Prime shows the "depth team sheet" with Schar and Lascelles at RCB with a question mark under them, suggesting another signing was needed in that position. For whatever reason we just haven't been able to do it this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Do wonder why they didn’t decide a CB was a priority, fingers crossed we get through to January without any serious injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only criticism there can be if any this summer is that we’ve signed 3 players, who don’t at first glance seem a shoe in for the 1st team. They’ve clearly prioritised bringing the age down and strengthening squad. We possibly will pay for that this season but Rome wasn’t built in a day.

See how we’re doing too. If we’re still in the League Cup, doing reasonable in the league and are either though the in the UCL or drop into the Europa, there may be the need to bring forward to cover the rest of the season. If we’re out of the lot and just the league, they can hold their powder to summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Barnes was considered a shoe in but Gordon has started the season brilliantly. It's a nice problem to have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not then Barnes is the signing with a question mark against it for me. Edited September 1, 2023 by Whitley mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's already played in those three positions for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 We should have bought a centre back that can cover right back instead of Livramento. Also a right forward instead of Barnes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I know Howe has said we're done. But unlike previous years under Ashley I do have a small suspicion that something might still happen. A young CB from the Championship perhaps on loan wouldn't surprise me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had an awful squad pre takeover. So our net spend is going to be very high. We have no assets to sell. We’ve still got 5-6 senior players who cannot be sold.
