Agreed
2 strikers and at least one decent CB seem urgent to me. No point having 7 centre backs if none of them are up to it.

Agreed on AA but Mara has had what, 45 mins of pre-season? If he had arrived at the start of the window then sure, but barely been here a week yet so might well be fitness related.
I get the fans calling for Coady but he has only ever performed well as part of a back 3. If we want to play 4 at the back there is no point going for him
He’s been someone I’ve wanted for a few years now, think there’s a really top class player there if he gets the game time
Probably be played in the back 4 lol Ralph will play him as a RB
Chelsea have used him as a wing back before, probably the Djenepo replacement
Him, a CB, striker and back up full back and we might get somewhere. Assuming they are played in their actual positions of course.
Would rather a commanding CB and a 1st choice striker. But he’ll go to Leicester any way.
Plus if he spoke to Leicester “days ago” why would he even bother chatting to us if talks with them went so well
We allegedly want 4 signings before the window closes, he’d be a fantastic start in my view. Then striker, centre back and full back and we will have covered all bases position wise. Will need to shift on a couple aswell

CHO would be a superb signing. I can't see us bringing in a CB without selling one tbh.
Ideally we could do so to bring one in, have another loan as the backup FB option, and then spend on a striker.
Yeah that’s what I’m envisioning, a winger/attacking mid (with at least one of the current lot going), full back on loan, centre back and striker.
If those 4 arrive then we will have addressed all the positions in the squad, admittedly in a Jimmy Saville type way, but no denying the manager would’ve been backed with quantity of players.
Will need an additional striker if Che goes too which is looking increasingly likely.
It's not just Coady who may be transferred this month. Mings has lost the Villa captaincy and didn't start today. Both need regular football to give themselves a chance of making the WC.
For me it was from the reports early in the summer that we wanted 10 signings
Either of those would be a huge, huge upgrade on what we have right now.
There are definitely players out there that would improve us. I think it’s panic stations. This is a relegation team based on the performances from the last half a season.
