Mikky Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 It’s a really interesting one this - all the talk season end was 5 (coming from the press briefings at the time) - we have signed 1 (Barnes and Maxi cancel each other out imo) Livramento and Hall I would take in a heartbeat Then a CB and RCM/RWF if ever such a player can be sought Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you miss last season as that was exactly what he did? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 LB is the priority for me too. Personally think we could wait until next summer for a CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lascelles is just about passable for another year. At left back we're already in the equivalent of "lose Botman" because we don't have a good enough player there.

What is key with Livramento and potentially someone like Hall, is that they won't occupy a squad place given their age. Thats big for keeping a couple of Ritchie, Dummett, Krafth, Targett and Manquillo. Although I expect at least one or two of them to get moved on this window.

Zero Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Out of all the defenders we have now, Burn is the one that we can’t afford having any injury. that’s why we need a new LB asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have arguably got more depth at LB than CB but the depth isn't very good. We need a younger up and coming CB but a starting classy LB would be transformative. I don't think we are getting both this window but fingers crossed. CB: Botman, Schar, Lascelles, Burn, (Krafth, Dummett) LB: Burn, Targett, Lewis, Dummett, Trippier, Manquillo, Ritchie - At least Lewis and Manquillo are likely offski though.

Viana Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I'd say there's two buckets here. Ones we're desperate to be rid of; Hendrick, Hayden, Fraser, Darlow, Lewis, Krafth, Dubravka. Ones I'd be content shipping out provided we have the time to replace them; Targett, Murphy, Dummett, Burn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be many negatives to having a giant geordie around the club keeping new players in check. Absolutely top bloke aswell that deserves it and played a major role in keep us up.

I like Burn a lot, same with Murphy and even Targett, but we're fast reaching the stage where we have to make difficult calls. Once you get past that first group I mentioned you're really talking about players that played a role last year. I'd imagine Dubravka will be on the way out as they'd likely prefer to have Gillespie as third choice given his home grown status. 1 minute ago, BonesJones said: I want Burn to retire here personally.

We are "desperate" to get rid of our second best goalkeeper? And second best right back? Also why would you be content shipping out 3 players who helped us get 4th last year? What benefit is there in selling Murphy or Burn for example? You wouldn't get a replacement for the money we would get. The only players Howe will be keen to see that back of, are the ones who aren't currently with the squad in the US, namely Hendrick, Fraser an Co.

Toon88 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I think the only thing I remember about Targett last year was him getting absolute skinned by Iwobi at Goodison, falling on the floor, only for Pope to make a great save from DCL. That’s about it. All in all, he’s poor. Contract he’s on also stings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
