Sibierski Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Some XI we’ve got that can’t be improved with a £50m+ signing. Got to be finishing top 4 comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnbull2000 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Just now, LiquidAK said: If true that's obviously going to be a massively disappointing window, no way of really dressing it up any other way. On the bright side we've kept hold of our best players, have strengthened a little in defence with Kelly, and have a fantastic player in Tonali back in the side. I think we'll have a really good season still and will be well in with a shout of a top 5 finish with fewer games to play and (hopefully) fewer injuries as a result. Still feel positive. In reality we're weakened in defence, with no Botman or his backup, Lascelles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you prefer if we kept Anderson, Ritchie and Dummett another season and not sign Kelly and Osula?

Nah not when we had injuries last season too. You can't count them now but not count them then, otherwise we could say we've massively strengthened in all areas because of how few injuries we've got.

Vinny Green Balls Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) Hard to argue that we’ve strengthened tbh. As it stands, last season’s first 11 against Liverpool at home will be significantly stronger than Tottenham at home on Sunday. at least the back line… Edited August 29 by Vinny Green Balls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 4 minutes ago, gdm said: how has it got to the eve of the window closing to get to that. Divert the funds to RW a week ago. Mental to end up with nothing What does "no time to divert funds to RW" even mean? It's not like we have to do some kind of time consuming, inter-departmental budget transfer, the funds are literally there. If the issue is we don't have a list of RW targets ready, that's concerning as and of itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely he's a more useful person to bring on than Matt Ritchie, given that’s who he has effectively replaced in the squad. Likewise Kelly for Dummett Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
