I don't see why we'd court McBurnie all summer and sign Destan to then want to add another striker who presumably would want to be first choice?
That plus I don't think Kamara has ever really settled here. Unfortunately maybe for the best he and we move on, and that it's done while there's still enough time left in this window to replace him with someone who really wants to be here and who Sergej wants here.
I can't believe Dublin is still in a job. The recruitment last season was a mess and it feels like it's been done by someone playing Football Manager.
I know his start date was officially later but they were briefing that he'd been doing the work all summer. You can tell he's not played the game
Catching up on the daily rumours.... I won't miss Kamera, I'm sure he's a very nice young man, but he feels like a buzz kill in the room..... Last night Lunstrom was great, I'd love us to keep Puerta and see what they'd be like as a duo Beyond that, I'd stick (assuming Williams, the winger and the striker are all able to play) bank some cash and that is an excellent window
That was this summer, before he was confirmed as DOF. You also had Beri Pardo in the mix last summer. Tan didn't leave until the following October. Dublin was in a far more junior role at that point. This window is the only one where he's been in the top job regarding recruitment, but he probably did take on greater responsibility in last January's window, which most felt was an improvement on the summer.
Puerta is expected to be leaving. And according to the manager we are going for at least another midfielder and left sided forward. Then you probably have to have another look at a right sided centre half if Ajayi's injury is as bad as feared.
That does feel like excuses to hide the reality. Getting £30m in the bank and signing Bedia, Pedro, Joseph and Burstow as the striker options is criminal. The Zambrano & Puerta situations have turned farcical, the churn of players has once again been ridiculous and we've signed 2 injury prone centre halves to replace 2 that were always fit and one of those new signings has lasted just one game.
