I think we'll get a CB one way or the other with Botman and Lascelles being out until the winter. RW I'm less confident. I could see us thinking, well at least we've got Miggy and Murphy if we can't get the player we want at the right price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a waste if you ask me Isn’t the point bringing Mitchell in because we don’t have that much to spend? We want him to unearth cheaper players with high potential?

nufc123 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 They were planning a head with the window before Mitchell came in. Dont think our budget has anything to do with Mitchell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a waste if you ask me We've also been quite effective at buying and, PSR considerations aside, I think we would have been fine without him in this window. What we need is to sell better and we need a counter to the manager wanting to naturally keep everyone. His most important job this summer is lowering or maintaining our wage bill while recycling some players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can't shift Miggy, I think we'll have to hold on for the RW. Would we sell Murphy and would he bring as much in? At least at RW there's the option to play Gordon, even Tino could be good there doing what Bale did for Spurs on the other side imo. We can't afford to not get a CB, though. Just a loan signing to tide us over until Botman and Lascelles are back would do if we couldn't get Thiaw, or better ones were out of reach this summer.

gdm Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Was only 2 weeks ago people were saying we’d have quite a bit to spend. Even Eales made a point of saying the first years spend had dropped off remember we were told by many that we only had £40m to spend before dropping over £60m on Isak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our issue most likely isn’t the available room based on player fees only, it’s that our cost level has shot up too and our revenue growth is having trouble keeping up to allow us to continue to invest and grow at the same rate as before. I think there is every chance we’ll be quite severely restricted this transfer window. In other words, PSR is working as designed for the so-called top six.

Tsunami Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 We need a RW upgrade but with our injuries at CB and with Wilson’s injury record those 2 positions have to be priority. Isak will get injured and Wilson can’t be relied on to play for a full month at any point. We shouldn’t be thinking of Gordon as centre forward option. It wouldn’t work and would weaken us in 2 positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I have a feeling that we’re going to look back on no getting a top drawer RW this summer as a blessing as Barnes and Gordon tear up the league next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 After the PSR debacle I think we’re being extra careful with the money available to spend. Remember Mandy saying that we couldn’t afford for a big signing to go wrong, and last season it did unlucky or not. The budget we have will need to be spent very carefully Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 On paper Gordon, Isak and Barnes is a really good front three. The issue is that after those three the drop off is massive. We need better players, not just to rotate the starting lineup but to give Eddie the ability to impact the game with his subs, not just sending on extremely limited players who will put in a shift when the good players get tired.

The Prophet Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) No use in judging a transfer market until you see the finished article. You'd ideally have your major business done by now, but the PSR window and the executive changes have kiboshed that.
