They need a few signings like but I think they’ll get them in. First Xl is quality but not much beyond that I don’t think is there? Their squad looked barebones last time I checked
Not yet - but only this afternoon has Lyle Foster submitted a transfer request. Burnley have lots of money and a need for striker(s).
This is beginning to feel like one of the most telling tfr windows, at least in the championship, for a while. The clubs coming down seem to be more selling than buying. Others have sold some key players. One or two are doing some really smart business, without being the teams you would predict to. If we are brave im doing the deals we want then we might well turn ourselves into one of the most cohesive squads in the league. It will stand and fall on who arrives as the striker. Improve the depth in a couple of spots and we might improve past the squads others will be left with.
If you take the squad from Friday then add Bamford plus the two new signings it looks strong to me. Then obviously whoever they add.
Ha sorry. Yes its my prediction. Leicester want an auction so will leave it until Friday before accepting any offer, IMO. And I dont think we'd go as high as 8. I think Burnley will, as they get desperate.
Burnley might appeal to Cannon due to being on the doorstep. Not sure we've had many scouse players do well here, when I think about it.
For everyone replying saying it’s no surprise. We found out last time simic wasn’t in the squad that he was coming for talks. It was a surprise to salzburg that he wasn’t in the squad
