Any toy or do you want a good player? At what cost? Which player? What's there attitude like? Will they fit into the squad dynamic? Will we be PSR compliant come next July? Does the player you want, want to join us? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 6 minutes ago, Menace said: Of course you can - there was a 10 page thread on our transfer dealings last summer and the majority vote was that it was a good window. Why should this be any different? There are key gaps in the squad that have not yet been addressed, so until they are I still don't think its as good as a window as people saying "We have injured players back" If by gap you're referring to RW then there's only a gap if our attack is fundamentally dysfunctional. I don't see any evidence of that based on last season; we scored a million goals. We all might engage in the "how did we do" debate but in reality you can't actually judge how effective the window has been until the results are seen on the pitch. It's the only real measurement tool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully since the ownership change and Howe being manager, our performances on the pitch have far surpassed any expectations I had. Good for you. How do you judge Almiron’s performances?

The reality is that we may not be able to acquire a new right winger unless Almiron or Murphy moves on. Without European competition, it would not be practical.

STM Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I've also severely under estimated how much people dislike Miggy. I mean, the guy frustrates the hell out of me, but not to the extent where I will be happy with ANYONE to replace him, regardless of cost, fit, price or whether they are actually any good.

He’s a right winger that can’t score, can’t cross & can’t assist. so the RW needs strengthening and no amount of players back from injury will strengthen that position.

Watch his performance against arsenal at home last season 😀 He may not be the ideal player, but he has shown moments of brilliance and has contributed to the team's success. While he can be frustrating at times, it would be an exaggeration to say that his presence is detrimental to the team's performance. Over the past two seasons, the team has scored more goals with him in the lineup. While an upgrade would be desirable, it is not as dire a situation as some may portray.

simonsays Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Our squad may be much the same as the start of last season, but... - we dont have the additional pressures of European football this season - I'm still convinced we will bring in 1 or two players who will improve both first teams and squad before the end of the window Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m fully aware we need to sell players, I’m making the argument just because players aren’t injured it doesn’t necessarily strengthen the position we need strengthened. The club identified 2 positions and that’s the two positions I want filled I don’t think that’s massively unreasonable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tend to agree, although I do understand why people would be frustrated to see the same options at RW yet again when it's the clearest position for a really significant upgrade. People do underrate what Miggy offers and always have. TBF I think Murphy will start anyway if we don't make a signing.

Almiron would be an excellent no.2 for the RW position. He was instrumental in our 2 best results of last season. Opens the scoring against PSG (THE moment of the season) and seals the game at the SOS with the press and excellent weighted pass to Isak for the second of the game.
