Vaj Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Wouldn’t mind signing Trafford and DCL if PSR wasn’t a thing as they are good depth but if this hampers our prospects of signing top players at RW and CB, where we really need it, then I am quite concerned. Will reserve full judgement until the transfer window closes but it is a bit of a come down from the, albeit very slim, prospects of signing Olise!

gbandit Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 If DCL was able to be fully fit I still struggle a bit with understanding what his role would be in the team. Isak is our star striker. DCL is a fairly traditional striker with good movement but he’d have to occupy the Centre Forward position as he can’t drop deep or do the build up play so what’s the plan? That he only comes on when Isak comes off? E.g. he’s a sub? He’s good enough (if he has a clean bill of health) to be a starting striker for over half the teams in the premier league but not for us. I’m a bit baffled by this one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soyt Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Rather than the injuries, I think the more worrying thing is that he has scored 14 league goals in last the 3 seasons combined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 If true then I’m disappointed. Hes a good player but a crock. Will cost a canny bit too. Keep Howe away from transfers. Love him and thinks he’s done class here, but all the evidence points to him not being very imaginative in the market Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 (edited) 5 minutes ago, Menace said: So Howe is full in control over transfers then, he's wanted DCL for a while. Not a fan but willing to give him a chance. I'd be all in for DCL if it weren't for the injuries. Wonder what the word in the game is as regards that, is he inury prone ot been unlucky ?

Vaj Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Also another depressing article from Edwards where it mentions the need to sell and that Minteh will probably be off. My only hope is that we need to raise some funds before the end of this month and that from July we can throw another £80m to £100m about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suggesting that Howe is responsible for signing the British players while someone else is responsible for the Isak, Bruno, Botman etc ?

Smal Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 although, doesn't Luke often announce we're closing in on [insert red herring] before we actually pull out an amazing alternative transfer instead? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 If our summer signings are Trafford, DCL & Kelly the RW signing better be fuckin incredible coz so far that’s business albeit cheap and with potential I’d expect a mid table side to do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 One really bad season with his hamstring (which he didn't have last season), the other big injuries look like bad luck rather than injury proneness (broken toe, cheekbone). Certainly no better or worse than a lot of players. We'd sign no fucker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not even good ones at that with that list . Kelly there is an argument to be had, I bet he will be injured before the season starts though.

Trafford is fine is a back up to pope & replacement for Dubravka but the cheap squad players are only acceptable if the signings to upgrade the first team actually do that so here’s hoping they have something spectacular up their sleeve or that City win the court case Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
