Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

I forgot about seelt so atm we have one fit CB on the books

 

As supporters it would feel like disaster, but from the clubs perspective it would be a disappointing inconvenience but wouldn't make us stray from our current path.

We should be gunning for survival, 17th (Tottenham 17th last season) would be a monumental achievement for us, this is going to be a tough season and every point we get will need to be fought for, important to remember that most of the teams we come up against this season will be better than us on paper and it's up to our players and coaching staff to find ways to overcome that.

 

Reinildo will play CB with Ballard against West Ham if we don't get one in by then. The only issue there is that we need a LB and that would have to be Huggins - be a big ask to put him up against Bowen after not playing competitively for about 18 months!

 

Not even sure Seelt is fit

 

Don't be so extreme all the time man.

My point is that a centre back signed today might well be ready but, any on deadline day, would need a little time.

 

You don’t think it’s mental for the club to be happy to start the premier league campaign with some massive fixtures with only one fit CB?

 

Yeh I also get the principle that we'd rather sign the RIGHT player in 2 weeks and miss West Ham than the wrong player now.

But the injuries to our centre backs does force the issue somewhat. Will be interesting to see where this goes.

 

The club have no intention of relegation hence the type of players we have gone for, also the countless comments stating this from Speakman, Ghisolfi etc

Obviously it's going to be very, very hard but I highly doubt the club are going to now not sign crucial positions after the strengthening we have done already and they wouldn't see relegation as a 'inconvenience' either. They have high ambition

 

We haven't done that yet so no need to get hysterical.

Besides we also have Reinildo at least for the moment.

 

Careful about thinking survival will be easy, reality can come with a bump if you're not strapped in.

 

I do appreciate why people want the CB situation sorted before West Ham. It'll be difficult to keep up our title charge if we drop any points compared to this Liverpool side.

 

Quite right, that's football ...

... if I thought Speakman, KLD and Ghisolfi were all sitting around playing Kerplunk I'd be worried

 

Half the Premier League clubs will have a nervous eye on the bottom three places ...

... for at least half the season.

 

True, it's going to be a real scrap, we will need every advantage we can muster.

 

I assume this is meaning before the West Ham game.

It’s clear we’ll bring in at least 1 CB before the window shuts.

 

Is it not better to wait and get the right player than rush and get any player?

There is 27 days to go in the window a hell of a lot will change in that time

 

Most players will have had a decent pre-season so getting them up to speed shouldn't take long ...

... not everyone is like Xhaka, and can fit straight in, but we're not buying cheap options these days.

Anyone worth buying should be ready to go in my opinion.

 

It's most certainly not easy, but the club has higher ambitions and if we get the CBs in and another top winger I think we have a decent chance of 17th

 

Mepham signed and was straight into the team wasn't he?
