If we can't shift Miggy, I think we'll have to hold on for the RW.

Can just imagine how that’ll go down especially after selling Minteh :lol:

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 

This post by timeEd32 is highly worth a read. 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.

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.

I'm still not convinced Isak is particularly injury prone.

He will be, if we dont sign a back up striker who can stay injury free for more than 5 mins...

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

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

I hope your feeling is wrong, we need a top drawer RW this summer as Barnes will be an impact sub next season for Gordon, if we don’t it will be Murphy on the right as per last season.

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.

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.

I’m very confident we’ll buy in the areas we need we just aren’t in position to just throw money at it. We need to look for the best deal.

I’m confident we will get a CB in, honestly not sure about a RW.

If we don’t and have let minteh go then I’ll go swiftly from positive to very negative. Almiron starting next season will be bordering on criminal.

Why would the default front 3 not be Gordon, Barnes and Isak? Why would Miggy get in before Gordon and yes, he absolutely can play RW.

Because history tells us Howe would rather he play left. Even when Barnes was fit Gordon rarely played right.

I would agree, but new season and new outlook for the gaffer I would hope.

If we didn’t sell Minteh we would’ve been deducted points, maybe 10.

I understand that. Just a sore one if we are once again starting with Almiron. It just kills our attacks down the right hand side time and time again
