Agree the deal Saturday night EH does the medical on Sunday (because he does everything) Unveiling on Monday.

Ben Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 (edited) Midfielder and a couple of Forwards after our AC Milan defender, sell Skinny Judas on deadline day and its been a canny summer. Edited August 9, 2025 by Ben Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who you preferring for midfield and a forward (assuming one of them is Wissa)? Is Pacqueta pie in the sky? We saw the pull Osula had for Elanga, so maybe that would help here. Think Luiz could do a job too and Juve had made it clear he's available by trying to chuck him in that rumored Vlahovic <> Tonali shambles.

Emotic Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 Wish we'd scout in the Championship more. Hayden Hackney, the "Smoggie Bruno" is just sitting there, not far from here, just ripe for the taking. A very good pickup for any club competing on four fronts.

Skeletor Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 In: Elanga, Ramsdale, Wissa, Rudoni, Gallagher (loan with option to buy or similar) and Thiaw Out: Longstaff, Dubravka, Generic Greek, Willock, Wilson Definitely much better off. The real question mark is Isak and all the nonsense around him. Its dependent on him being able to be successfully reintegrated with the squad. Having to replace Isak at this stage makes us much weaker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucasol Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 If we do sell Alexander the Snake for the £150m we want, I’d aim for Ederson or Paqueta. Rudoni can wait until January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe another CM and CB who can be in and around the first team for emergency cover. 18-19 yrs old with potential added to that lot and we'd have something cooking.

Whitley mag Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 (edited) My pick would have been Andrey Santos but apparently played for Chelsea the other day and was brilliant.

oldtype Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 Assuming Thiaw and Wissa get done (knocks furiously on wood), we just need to sort out the Isak situation and grab a backup CM and that’s pretty much us set for the window. Not the huge step forward we all wanted but good enough for us to compete for a CL place again and leaving us with money to spend next year in what is hopefully a less saturated market. If we do sell Isak that possibly gives us the funds to get a striker replacement AND splurge on one more player who improves the first choice XI. Either way, the process will have been incredibly messy but it ends up being a solid B+ summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 Really think we need some creativity, last year we struggled against mid table teams. Without Isak we need a spark, go and get Paqueta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry like, Ramsdale, Thaiw, elanga and Wissa with a back up midfield does not represent a just below a perfect window for me. Yea bodies are filled but the quality is not quite there. the top 4 have made massive strides on us and Man Utd are closing the gap rapidly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
