[Football] Is this the slowest transfer window yet?

[b.w.2.]

Who would you suggest as back up for RB?

We need to buy one. Personally, of linked RB’s, I favour Tavernier of Rangers

We have plenty of options at RB...Balogun, schelotto. Montoya, Sanders
, Bernardo, even solly as right wing back

Balogun is a CB. Schelotto (sp) is injured and cannot defend. Montoya is the one RB we actually have who is good enough. Sanders is a midfielder and U23. Bernardo is a LB. Solly is a RW. So you have listed 2 RB’s, one of which is injured and not good enough.

Is it unreasonable to expect us to go down without signing a proven goalscorer? Given most of the squad have proved they can’t shoot let alone score. Are we even in the market for a £20m+ striker?

Not sure about price tag but agree we definitely need to sign a 1st choice striker. Someone who will work to displace Muzza. Cue list of unsuitable alternatives by naive posters.

We have so many so called experts in our recruitment team I expect they are still arguing among themselves who the targets are

Maybe that is the problem. Who knows? But some progress on ST and RB needs to be made soon IMHO.

Balogun is a CB.

He has played over 70 times as right back.
Ideal for us as third or fourth choice.

But I agree we still need a new RB as Schelotto is injured. Might be a young one we get mind.

If we intend to rely on an ageing Muzza to score most of our goals this season we really are sunk. It would be sheer lunacy to do that.

Yes - we’ve already seen this a little. The starting line-up against Crawley was a real eye opener!

I’ll be interested to see just how defensive the ‘2’ midfielders are in his initial 4-2-3-1 system. I’ve a feeling that he might like his full backs to bomb on with the ‘2’ midfielders covering the flanks behind them but we’ll see. I think he enjoys playing ‘false’ positions and using players out of their normal positions.

I agree... look at him playing Sanders as a RB... I know it’s needs must, because we currently only have Montoya fit, but definitely worked out relatively well - not sure I’d want that in a prem game though!!

Maybe Shane Duffy - second top Albion PL scorer last season lest we forget - could up his scoring rate. No more slacking there Shane!

Or move him up top Adam Virgo style?

Then sell him to Celtic for today's equivalent of Virgo's £15M? Reckon £95M would just about cover it

I may be getting old but wasn't it £1.5m ??!!

Obviously not getting as old as me doh

That doesn't matter, we'll still flog him for £95m. It's fine.

My thoughts exactly. Tho probably prepare to be haggled down to £75M. Match made in heaven for both clubs, not to mention the player...

not sure we are. GM obviously still very key. Andone will be expected to step up . Locadia + 1 other ( possibly Connolly who Potter is prob looking at in the games to decide)

Honestly would not be at all surprised if we go with what we have.

If we do get one then its probably due to Connolly not being ready , he would go on loan.

I'm expecting Glenn to lead the line in 2 weeks

Still very slow IMHO, with only 3 players joining a Premier League club in the last 7 days according to the BBC site

 

[Hugo Rune]

Only seven clubs have signed more players than us so far (with three of those being the promoted teams)

https://www.premierleague.com/news/1213395

Still plenty of time to snag another two or three players.

Would feel a lot more comfortable getting 1 of the 3 needed in the bag now, and just having to get a further 2 more rather than 3 more in the next 16 days.
