Transfer Window Speculation

We do need six players though.

Two new fullbacks are a given.

As are two new forwards.

And a midfielder.

I suppose we could run on fumes in central defence for another season.

This is what happens when we do nothing for a full season in the transfer market.

That’s not what the owners and directors will be thinking.

1 full back, Bradley will be like a new signing on the right.

1 forward (if we sell Nunez).

No midfielder, we’ve realised we don’t need a Zubimendi now, Grav can do it.

No central defender, VVD plays every game so how many do you really need?

This is a slight exaggeration but there’s no way we are signing 6 so these will be the briefings during the summer if it starts to get feisty. Along with a couple of sagas that end with us deciding player x isn’t worth club y’s valuation.

No.

Right, this has really pissed me off.

I'm getting a permanent tattoo on my face, which states "We need to sign at least TWO CENTRE BACKS as a priority"

Typeface suggestions welcome.  Not you @Gethin

Will Chiesa stay after so little playing time?

He only cost 10m, as long as we didn’t play him too much and trigger the add ons - doubt this was anywhere close! We will flip him and make 10m I reckon.

It has to be 4/5 this summer. We’ve too many gaps.

Yeah. Jurgen never got what he needed/wanted so don't see why that will change with Slot.

Think we need a new CB more than two forwards, unless Nunez and Jota/Diaz are leaving 

Agreed. As much as we need to get better players in up there, aside from Nunez, all the others can still play a role, and we do have numbers there.

Priority has to be midfield and defence. The latter is struggling due to our midfield being constantly overwhelmed. 

Having a solid, powerful midfield makes both the forwards and defence look so much better.
