I’m very pleased with our recruitment so far this window. Just 3 more ‘essentials’ to go IMHO: CB Moore? CM Yves? And winger??

Totally disagree. 'Football fans' with no football intelligence might, but i reckon those shrewder would, after the success of our unknown signings last season, feel we might have pulled off another set of gems. Balogun, Bernardo and Andone definitely look like they could have lots to offer. Not every team signs 'World class' players with huge reputations- most of the non top 6 sign players who earn those reputations- Watford with Doucoure and Richarlison last year being one of many examples, and Burnley the prime example of a team full of good players that nobody knows- and reaping rewards of that.

It sounds like we are still interested in Moore, but I wonder if Isaac Hayden handing in a transfer request changes that,
Much disquiet cos They’ve run out of £££. And Hodgkin says they’re in a relegation battle (again) That new stand won’t come cheap poor lambs.
Don’t see why, Hayden is a midfielder
Because he can play CB aswell, It sounds like he will be cheaper. We also have to learn from Goldson. I think we could keep Hayden happier than perhaps we can Moore who I think can only play CB.

He also would complete our home grown player numbers meaning we could sign a centre back from overseas, where we could get better value
What does that have to do with anything?
I'm sure most "Premier league fans" have never heard of Balogun, Andone and Bernardo. I'm sure most "Premier league fans" had never heard of Maty Ryan or Pascal Gross when we signed them last summer (to be honest, I'm sure there's a lot of "Premier league fans" who still haven't much of clue who Ryan and Gross are). All of this is irrelevant though.
It's a good point that the club may have learned that keeping non-playing 3rd and 4th choice central defenders happy isn't easy - and so are recruiting players who can also play in alternative positions.Because he can play CB aswell, It sounds like he will be cheaper.

I didn't realize that's Balogun can play left back. I did notice Naylor suggesting that maybe Suttner might goIt's a good point that the club may have learned that keeping non-playing 3rd and 4th choice central defenders happy isn't easy - and so are recruiting players who can also play in alternative positions.
Hayden may well be an alternative to Moore, or alternatively could take Suttner's squad place as we don't need 4 left backs ( as Balogun can play there as well ).
Bissouma singing today?

So far so good ......We must not concede so many goals from set pieces and score more goals ourselves.....IMO we have work to do !!!
If we sign Bissouma and Hayden, I see Hayden being brought as a fourth central midfield option and Propper becoming a more direct competition to Gross. The fact that Hayden is home grown and can play in other positions if needed is more a bonus
