Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Seelt and O9 are not PL RBs at all

It'll depend on how much they rate Huggins, Huggins really needs to go play week in week out imo - same for Seelt

I could def see a RB or at least a CB whi can cover RB as well coming in

 

Weren't we linked with some lad called Boey in the last week?

 

Guiu, Masuaku, Alderete all fit and ready for selection but might start on the bench

 

Makes sense them starting on the bench, I expect Alderete to start soon tho

 

I think Huggins has it in him but needs a championship season or similar

 

I reckon the team for West Ham will be the team from the last friendly in Germany. And then for Burnley the week after Alderete will come in for Seelt as the only change (injuries and suspension permitting ofc)

 

Yep, agree with this. Also believe Guiu gets in the side before long…

 

As much as RLB has said they would possibly like another 2 or 3 in, is it safe to suggest that IF that doesnt happen it

a) wont be for the lack of trying
b) wont be for the lack of financial backing
c) wont be the absolute end of the world

 

Knowing the state of some of the lasses in the Bigg market, it had better be a wide lens...

 

I think we will sign more, but I think we're right just taking stock for a while before we do. Trimming the squad down in the next 2 weeks will give us a better idea of the size and depth of the squad. The first couple of games will give us a better idea of where we need to strengthen and who in the squad might struggle.

I believe that as well as those we would consider surplus to requirements, there might be 1 or 2 others moved on in order to accommodate 3 or 4 new signings, so I expect the last week of the window to be very busy.

A lot on here were contemplating us signing between 5 and 10 players at the start of the window. We've already surpassed that and the quality of some of the signings has been staggering. KLD is leaving nothing to chance, so a) and b) of your options will definitely have been covered.

No one can account for injuries to key players, so we're going to need a bit of luck in that department, but I'm confident that KLD & Co. will definitely give us the best possible chance of survival come the end of the transfer window.

 

Good player jacob ramsey but £43 million is obscene

 

Good player Ramsey and think he’ll do well there but there’s definitely better value abroad

 

Plus he probly wont even get in their first 11

 

He’ll start plenty of games. They’ll want to go deep in both cups and the CL

 

Years ago there was a spate of burglaries around the Millfield/Deptford area, eventually the ones doing it got caught and the one organising it was a local "friendly, jovial" window cleaner. He'd had a similar routine, chat away, be friendly, get to know people over time and find out when people were away etc. Very similar to what you described there.

 

Agree, think I've said a few times that's its hard to know how good he might be because of his lack of minutes over the last 4 seasons

Hume is clearly 1st choice RB so it's not a high priority position but I'd definitely like someone who is capable of backing him up - maybe that is Huggins

 

So that gives us a possible first 11 of:
Roef
Hume
Reinildo
Ballard
Alderete
Xhaka
Tabli
Diarra
Mayenda
Le Fee
Adingra

competition as it stands:
Patto
Huggins
Masuaku ( or Cirkin when fit)
Seelt or O’Nien when fit
No one fit but Alese and Hjelde are LCB
Neil
Roberts
Sadiki
Guiu or Wilson
Rigg
No one fit but Mundle ready by October

that’s 26 players as it stands but I’d say competition at CB, RB and on the wing are the obvious gaps because of a combination of injuries and quality rather than numbers.

pretty much everyone else available for loan or sale? Maybe also Huggins, Alese, Hjelde if incomings were identified?
