My feeling is that the issues with the DOF/Mitchell set us off on the back foot and we’ve not given ourselves the best chance to complete deals by being painfully slow to act Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-more Mag Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 I'm curious whether we have any targets for a right-sided defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trafford can’t get done so we try for a striker, we can’t get him so we go for a CB. Seems very disorganised. Howe & co are literally doing two jobs. For all the "hes probably glad Mitchell is gone", its not an ideal situation being without a SD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time is also against us now as well. I know my comments I can already argue with myself over there are a list of reasons The calibre of player has other top teams interested. We are hampered by precieved local, presitege etc We can't pay champions league wages Howe has a set sort of player and character he wants. Unwilling sellers and high prices for us and the market. The money has to work and stretch no room for errors. HOWEVER We are or feels like we are so close to kicking in with good recruitment. We are or feels like we are a few injuries away with the current holes in the squad of having a mare of a season. We have champions league now does it not attract or count for anything? Just very frustrating its seemingly becoming a hard slog. Edited July 17, 2025 by nufcjmc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobsonsWonderland Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 Which players have we missed out on that you wish we had signed? There probably has been only 9 or 10 major moves so far this window so there does not seem a lot of clubs ... Apart from Bournemouth and Brentford who are selling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famous Nick Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 that defensive transfer is a must given we tried for weeks for Guehi but we couldnt meet the price with Palace a year ago. we took a risk go into the season and Burn and Schar stepped up again and took lion share of minutes but they are almost 70 yo together. Botman is class when fully fit which is about 40% of the time. also Burn needs to fill in at LB when Hall needs a rest or injured. with 8 hard CL games coming up between August and January this will be really huge test for us physically. we will have very few weeks without midweek games, once Carabao kicks off. very little news tho, Scalvini is one that mentioned, but 40-50m price a bit steep for us. I think we should keep an eye on City squads as they might wanna move out few experienced defenders, I saw rumours about Stones or Akanji or Ake. 15m price maybe could be enough to get one of them if Guardiola wants them out and they got quite nice CL experience too. (Stones very injury prone tho, but imo class when fit) if Guehi still could be done at 35/40m, I would do that tho as home grown, and at a good age with PL experience and ready to hold down a starting spot for England too.

Yes it's on the back of major injury so there's that concern, but he's a huge prospect and isn't that pretty much how we landed Livramento? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Real Madrid need a DOF to get footballers in? Sometimes it is what it is… the players we wanted at top of our lists were also wanted by more financially established clubs… no surprise. I take comfort in who we are targeting look very good players at a good age. Last summer fans moaned about us seemingly spending too much time on Guehi. I don’t think we actually did personally but regardless it’s clear we certainly aren’t this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
