Ffs, I’m kinda glad I swerved this years transfer thread and surprisingly look back in fondness at Moyes/Martinez transfer windows.

The board do know we have narrowly avoided relegation the past two seasons and that updating the squad might be helpful in avoiding a repeat???

Need some OUTS please Kev.
 

There's no reason why we can't be looking at both is there mate.

Other than how terrible we are at recruitment, yeah we could look at both. I honestly don't think we need it, though mate.

Priority wise I'd say.

1. Striker
2. Another Winger
3. Attacking Mid
4. Defensive Mid
5. Full Back (Left or Right)

In an ideal world, we'd bring 2 or 3 of them in with the top 2 being a priority, but I'll be shocked if we do.
 
I think Dobbin and Cannon will be loaned into the Championship. Gomes back to France or Spain, Holgate loaned to Southampton - try and send Maupay there too if they lose Adams.

Could be stuck with Gbamin and Ali given they seem injured.
 
So how does it work for the 25 man squad we have to submit in the end ? Do players like Dobbin, Branthwaite, Virginia and Cannon still qualify for the U23 ? And what about the young Portuguese lad ?

How a CB isn’t the priority after a striker when 3 of our CBs are Keane (who is currently considered first choice), Holgate and Godfrey absolutely astounds me.
