Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[sageyefc]

Shaqiri would be a good replacement for Iceland.

Fat little hobbit who turned us down for Stoke in the first place.

 

[sageyefc]

Filed under Iceland because of the common issue of "can't spell his name"

It's easy, it's spelt Seb Larson

 

[CRIMHEAD]

Just need PSV to beat Ajax next weekend so they can clinch it.

 

[Tel001]

So he just lacks something that every STRIKER needs Zat, goals, shame he couldn’t hit a barn door!

Anyone can see he has huge potential? Even tho Zat then follows that by saying "I didn't a first" . So anyone can see it, it's so obvious , even tho zat didn't and tbh I don't see it eityer

If we want to challenge for top 4-6 none of our u 23s should be more than third choice emergency back up players . So that means a lot of new players this summer.

Again. Look where that got us this season

 

[Barnfred 55]

We keep 19, we sell 18, we loan out 5 or 6 Yoots and we buy 7 or 8 players!!

Goat you realise after loaning out all playets under 22 except Holgate we're left with 10 players which include Besic amd Klaaassen in midfield.

Think we need more than 7/8

 

[Barnfred 55]

Honestly keep forgetting hes a thing, yes he can stay.

But go out on loan as he's U22.

Shaqiri would be a good replacement for Iceland.

No thanks.

REALISTICALLY For the first team we need:
Left Back
Centre Back
Defensive Midfielder
Creative Midfielder

For the squad we need:
Backup Goalkeeper
Backup Striker

We have the likes of Dowell, Besic, Browning, Galloway, Sandro, Mirallas, Pennington, Lookman and Onyekuru on loan who have played some part of first team football so the squad is big enough but not as talented.

The new manager will need to ship out a few of the deadwood like:
Williams
Martina
Niasse.

We have questions about Schneiderlin, Vlasic, Klaassen and Funes Mori - will they add to the squad or time to move on.

Squad 2018/2019 (17 players)

Pickford/Steklenburg

Coleman/Kenny
Baines
Holgate/Keane/Jagielka

Gueye/Davies/Baningime
Sigurdsson/Rooney
Walcott/Bolasie

Tosun/Calvert-Lewin

Need 2 new cb's IMO and a left sided winger/wide forward type on top of what you said mate


The hope is that Brands is effectively already working on players - including a couple on a free like Ozyakrup and that he has some idea on if some players have buy outs like Lozano at PSV etc... cos i don't see us being willing/able to sink 200m more into this team...

While there's numerous positions that need addressing and certain individuals whose future is questionable, realistically we need to prioritise.

For me, that would be first and foremost looking at significant purchases regarding:

• a quality, imposing centre back,
• one or more player with creativity in the centre of the midfield that will enable forward play and improved tempo,
• a quality striker (hopefully proven),

When you consider our first XI this is where we are significantly falling short and especially with our lack of creativity or intensity in the middle.

Our transfer policy in the Summer was fragmented at best (if not ad hoc), so we need to make sure this year that we initially focus on key areas.

Then depending on our outgoings etc., I'd move onto looking at our options on the left (Bolaise urgh) and strengthening our midfield.

Is there only around 4-5 first team players missing from that list? Most of your list would be deemed by most of the fans on here as not being good enough either according to the comments in some of the threads.
I can't see us bringing in too many players this summer with the World Cup being on. It will all be a last minute rush and we aren't the speediest when it comes to transfers. We will probably fanny around picking a new manager for half the summer too
