Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

How much gross spend do people think we will hit? already high and no sign of slowing + plenty of positions to fill + depth

 

Here we go.
Just need a new CB, Striker and a GK
and that's job done

 

a gk, 2 new centre backs, a CM, right winger and a striker

 

What's everyone's opinions on that Lens DM that has been linked?

 

I've said £100m to £120m net. We still need to pay, now much higher, wages out of our new found wealth, which comes in stages over the season.

The borrowing facility we took on will be to help with this, in terms of smoothing cashflow.

 

I missed that, who / where?

 

I’d be okay with that if they’re the ones done before first game.

Will mean the line up v West Ham is

New GK
Hume
Ballard
New CB
Reinaldo
Adringa
Le Fee
Sadiki/Neil
Diarra
Mundle
New ST/Mayenda

I’d say that’s fairly strong for a newly promoted side first game of the season.

Another CB & another CM can be sought after later in the window.

 

Don’t get me started cam you already knkw

 

We need more than that.

 

I know everyone is worried about Afcon but I’ve just thought about the fact we have the January window to get any emergency players/loans in the plug the gaps

 

the afcon group stages will be done by then

 

That’ll be fine if the AFCON started January.

Starts around December 16th I think?

 

Suppose that means Reinaldo will be back by then, can’t see Mozambique doing well.

 

Going to win the tournament knowing our luck.

 

GK
RB
CB X2
LB - done reinildo
CM X3 - 2/3 done Diarra and sadiki
RW - done talbi
LW - done adingra
ST

this was my list pre transfer window.

That leaves

GK
RB
CB X2
CM
ST

however, I’d be happy to use Huggins as backup RB and due to AFCON I’d probably say my list looks a bit like this

GK
CB X2
CM X2 (?)
RW (left footed)
ST

maybe the RW can play our 10 position too which would provide double cover

 

silly opening bid, have to start lower. although I will leave it to the experts

 

Considerably more than Roberts though I would like him to improve and produce better goal/assists but he always seems to let us down .
