    What do we need in the transfer window(s) ?

    IMO we need:
    1. Two goalkeepers
    Meslier needs to move on and hopefully we can get a decent fee for him. If we replace him with the likes of Pope/Johnstone or Ramsdale, then I think Darlow will want to leave. He's the new Wales goalkeeper and will want to keep his place and possibly play in next year's World Cup.

    2. Two left backs - I am assuming that Firpo will leave on a free transfer and Byram is NOT cover at left back.
    Personally I think Byram will leave too this Summer.

    3. Two center-halves
    Wober will leave so we need a right and left sided central defender unless you want Ampadu as back up to Struijk, which I don't think he'll want.

    4. Three wingers (one of whom could be Solomon) as I expect Ramazani, Gnonto and Aaronson to leave

    5. A top class No10 - unless we Farke decides to go with a 4-1-4-1 formation.

    6. A top class creative midfielder. I would really like James McAtee.

    7. A top class striker. maybe two strikers as I suspect the Farke will not consider Joseph good enough for the premiership.

    So that makes about 12-13 players.

    He’s too busy throwing the insults around on his own board, realisation struck him that the signings were poor and their coach has made too many bad decisions, he’s been getting quite upset that anyone can still remain positive

    Wonder if we'll ever play two up? We seem to stick with a good 10 behind a single striker.

    You mean switch to a 4-4-2 ?

    Could do, we might look at Memphis Depay and team him up with Piroe to give us a Dutch strike force ?
