Sibierski Posted March 4, 2024 Share Posted March 4, 2024 Surely CB is critical position? Got to be looking long term, and outside Schar and Botman, we drop to Lascelles and Burn who’s slow as anything. Schar is amazing, but we really need a CB with actual pace in that defence as another option. Only need to see some of the top sides who have that pacey CB and how they can be more aggressive in their play as a result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think he’s as technical as Bruno but certainly has an engine, an all Brazilian midfield 3 would be interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted March 4, 2024 Share Posted March 4, 2024 1 hour ago, BennyBlanco said: I agree with other sentiments that we probably need a striker and CM to add to that list as well. That’s 5 players. That’s at least two more summer windows imo to get the right players in and that’s fighting against FFP ans whatever other new rule the league want to try and hamstring us with. We’re still a way off from competing consistently. We don’t need a striker imo. We just need a fit Isak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonesJones Posted March 4, 2024 Share Posted March 4, 2024 If RW, ST and LB are the spots we need to buy for, what's the order of priority? Also feel sorry for whoever has to come in and 'compete' with Isak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep same for me. Can't remember if there's been any concrete links or bids we put in for any though? Really feels like it's the next spot that would be a game changer for us. Interested in the type we would go for, I assume it would be someone more creative as opposed to a goal scorer like Barnes. Can't decide an order after that, and could even argue for a CB and CM. Providing it's not another window of being falsely cash strapped, I can't wait for this one! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Isak's backup is literally just fit most of the season instead of injured most of the season I'd be a happy camper. Also who in the England setup mentioned that Gordon will finish his career as a CF? I vaguely remember a quote about that. He's a decent enough third choice - he can at least stretch defenses.

If it wasn’t for the fact our squad looked so bleak during January then was possibly the time to move Wilson on or this summer. Unfortunately Isak similar to Wilson seem to be made of glass hence the need for some kind of 3rd option. Keeping Wilson next year doesn’t solve any problems as fitness record recently is so unreliable. I literally class Isak and Wilson as one player such are their fitness concerns. Which has been proven this season. Edited March 4, 2024 by LFEE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc123 Posted March 4, 2024 Share Posted March 4, 2024 Two mistakes we cant do again. Not signing a quality RW, and the strikers wont stay fit (We know that). Big mistake not signing both. Would love a DM, and we need quality cover for Schar. His downfall can come quick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_n_white Posted March 4, 2024 Share Posted March 4, 2024 A forward who can play right side or up top should be the priority for me, that’s where the major money should be spent providing no star players leave.

black_n_white Posted March 4, 2024 Share Posted March 4, 2024 (edited) Both good shouts and proven premiership players.

Lush Vlad Posted March 4, 2024 Share Posted March 4, 2024 Isak has struggled to stay fit since getting here. Wilson has a pretty dreadful injury record throughout his career. He’s missed half his games here, for example. He looks to have finally lost his sharpness this season when he’s been available. Gordon isn’t a striker. Might be ok as 3rd or 4th choice. If those ahead of him in the pecking order could consistently stay fit. It would be madness to rely on just Wilson and Isak again. Wilson needs moving on.
