toontownman Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 We are likely getting another CM on loan. Fancy we will be looking for a versatile u21 striker that can also play out wide to cover. Will depend on whether we are in europe still for sure. However, unless the injuries get worse I don't think we will need to look desperate to selling clubs. There have been a few developments that might make us gamble for bigger summer/future FFP gains. CB: Lascelles has been such a huge bonus it's possible, dummett and Krath actually being fine and a couple of potential reserve prospects could feature by years end. Upfront: Gordon is definitely an option. Out wide: depends when barnes is back. I think we need a young u21 striker that can play wide. That way we have a few options. LB - I think we are good until the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) Don't think we need a LB in the summer, Hall's the future in that position. Edited November 5, 2023 by Bimpy474 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the quickest but strong and clever. Mbuemo has plenty speed!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't break my illogical, unrealistic, Alphonso Davies dreaming heart! It's not a priority likely. Also depends how Hall progresses and in which position. Howe did say LB is where he sees him though.

STM Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 We 100% will be signing players in January. With our injuries, we've no choice. In fact, we may do something we don't tend to do and look at bona-fide short term loans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Are we even able to make signings for money in January, or does FFP mean loans only? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We certainly won't be able to go wild but I reckon we've got enough in the kitty for one signing and we can always do a similar deal to Halls etc. There's always a way.

Nearly a full 11. Almost all of which are months rather than weeks We'll do very well to get through to mid-Jan still in the cups, Europe and top 6, as chances are pretty high we'll lose another two key players before then.

kingxlnc Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Goes to show the depth is decent - 9 first team players out injured and yet still a decent top half side - anyone would miss 9 first teamers - particularly key players like Botman, Tonali, Burn and Isak Pope, Dubravka, Karius, Gillespie Trippier, Livramento, Krafth Lascelles, Schar, Dummett, (Krafth) Hall, (Dummett, Trippier, Ritchie) Bruno, Longstaff, Joelinton, Willock, Miley Almiron, Gordon, Ritchie (Joelinton) Wilson (Gordon) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
