It’s a good window so far, maybe good is strong but solid at worst! Needs - CB (Thiaw) and a RW (Elanga) - Tick Replacements for Longstaff (Ramsey) and Wilson (working on it and we will sign a striker and it will be an upgrade on Wilson) Upgrade to the GK dept. (Ramsdale) - Tick The way I'm looking at Isak is the same way I’d look at an ACL injury to him, probably not going to play this year, may be back and take some time to get up to speed, but if he goes we got to replace him and replace him well but I’ve got faith they’ll pull it out the bag, especially if there’s £120-150m in the pot for a new striker.
Was it ornstein that reported interest? Regardless interest is not worth getting excited about... If they are in negotiations that's when to start believing something might happen. I've just listened to Howe and he still wants one or two more regardless of what happens with Isak. That's encouraging. Wissa and one more even if we don't sell him.
Yep. Although no doubt some will still be pining for the creativity of Shelvey, excitement of Maxi and goalscoring ability of Wilson.
In 4 years years we've moved 14 of them on and retained 6. 3 of those were regular starters last season. Likely moving to just 1 regular starter ( with everybody fit & available) this season. With the others providing squad cover. That's a fair bit of movement to be fair.
This is encouraging... Perhaps the situation isn't as vile as we think Like if they pay the fee you can go and otherwise he'll play.
