...between now and the deadline. Just a bit of fun*. No prizes for getting it right * using the broadest definition of fun
Benitez obviously still wants a keeper, though if he signs Hennesey from Palace I'm turning up with my Rafa Out banners next week. And a striker is still obviously being pursued. Think we will bring in Kenedy last min from Chelsea as a loan as well.
Despite years of disappointment in the last week of the transfer window - I'm going to go with three (and preparing myself for more disappointment in the meantime)
I don't think Elliot needs to be replaced, and certainly not by Hennessey. Rob isn't the best PL keeper but he certainly isn't the worst either. Granted his kicking can be poor but I am ok with him starting in the long run.
Kenedy probably a done deal with Ox moving to Chelsea, but quite why we need another winger is beyond me. Not sure on Gayle, I just don't get the feeling his heart's in it. Fragile as well, physically and mentally. I think we need someone better. For me getting this No.10 is vital. Whether that's Jack Wilshere, Denis Praet, Jota or someone else I don't really care. We also do need a left back. Mbemba had a stormer, but he's not a left back.
Agreed, unless a better Keeper comes in e.g. Reina, I'd stick with what we have, Elliot and Darlow are two reasonable options with Woodman good back up.
If Jonjomort can dream big so can I - 4+ signings Argie LB Wilshire/Praet Renato Sanchez A GK Kennedy Done.
