Just worked through the squad as it stands ... If the following movements today (some already confirmed) are done then we're a little light ...

Incomings - AMN, Edozie, Larios
Outgoings - Bednarek, Stephens, Simeu, Romeu, Valery

Squad count after the above = 24 (including Walcott & Redmond)

I'd put us down as needing at the very least 1 CB (to give us 4 overall) plus 1 other attacking player (depends on the predominant style Ralph wants to play). Ideally we'd want an extra CB (loan?, youngster?) plus an extra midfielder. Especially so if we let Walcott and Redmond go as well.

Purely in numerical terms, maybe - but if you take some of the u23 players we'd like to start to see involved in the squad and the ability for Djnepo, AMN, KWP, Aribo, Larios and others to play multiple roles I think we'll have a good sized squad and one where everyone will have a roll to play.

But clearly we need 4 CBs.

Looks like the links are starting to slow down now. All about getting the signings done now. Would be great though to have that late link to the club trying to push through a deal for a top attacking player

Would be exiting!!

Edozie could yet be that player, mind. Just as highly rated (if not more so) as Lavia by Man City. Think he's a big signing.

Deffo the CBs - hopefully we'll get DCC over the line. The other are that could be an issue is CM. We've lost Lavia to injury which only leaves JWP, Diallo, Aribo and AMN available to play in the CM role. If we're playing 3 that's a little light.

I still think the window is a great one as it stands. SR are doing everything they said they would do
