[Albion] Mahmoud Dahoud (Loaned to VfB Stuttgart 31/01/24)

We still need a Goalkeeper, a full back and a left sided centre back and then obviously any other signings that crop up "for the future".

I suspect we’ll want a specialist defensive midfielder if Caicedo is to leave also.

And whilst I’d classify Alex Scott under your “for the future” category, that’s another £25m+ we could be spunking out this window. Hopefully Chelsea pay us well for Moises and Robert.

Jolly good. Three already is great business. But I've moved on days ago. I want one I've never heard of so I can get proper excited.

It's hard to judge how many extra players the club have decided they need for the Europa League. We might see more loans than usual ?

'Usual'? IIRC, it's only Colwill and Mooy over the past four seasons. There have to be special circumstances for us to go for a loan. If I was asked to have a flutter, I'd go for zero.

Well the special circumstance may be the need for a larger squad next season without any guarantees that it will need to be as big the season after.

That's not the original song.. I'm sure that's a riff from another song..

*Goes to check google*

...

..as you were.

Good idea.

With £230m on transfers income in last 2 years would hope for a couple more marquee signings

Surely we want high quality players that will integrate well into the group not well known big time Charles. Leave that to Man Utd & Chelsea .

 

[Napper]

Great business by the club so far

Will be interesting to see us post caicedo and mac .

Would also hope for anothe marquee signing or two but so far so good .

For a change we are all set attack wise . Certainly makes it feel more relaxed on here .

Couple more decent additions of real quality and will be confident of a top half finish and another great season

Enjoy it all while we can

 

[Baldseagull]

Assuming they are part of RDZ plans' then you can add nearly all of the following - to our existing squad for next season

Sarmiento, Moder, Adingra, Dahoud, Joao Pedro, Koslowski , Milner, Lallana, Lamptey and March EVEN BEFORE any further signings

which i expect but its not going to be a Nottm Forest summer. Nowhere near . Even with Thursday - Sunday - Thursday - Sunday etc

4 of the players you have mentioned were named in our last PL squad, Sarmiento was also available as an U21, but will have to be named and take a place in the next squad I believe.

None of em were in our last PL squad v Villa or much of the last few months of last season is I guess the point I’m making. Ie: they were injured.

 

[albionfan37]

3 signings plus hopefully a fit Moda Laptey and Lalana and return of players on loan. Is that our lot now.

Hope not, we need 1 or 2 rbs 1 lb 1 cb and likely a keeper too

They were named in the PL Squad for the second half of the season, but yes, not the last match day squad.
I thought you were discussing a squad for the season.

CDM too when we lose Moises

It's not just the fee, which we can afford, it's the wages that is the issue too.

If we are stick to the transfer policy we aren't going to be handing out £100k-£200k wages that most established marquee players are on.

 

[GT49er]

Oh absolutely. Don't think it will be Forest levels but I think the incomings might surprise a few. Furlong extending his contract is interesting.

Has he? Hadn't seen that anywhere. Good news though - I think his contract was up and he could have walked in July.

Exactly! When will it sink in? We got (allegedly and approximately) £50M for White, £30M for Bissouma, £60M for Caicedo, £13M for Burn, £15M for Maupay, £20M for Trossard......... £180m+ - hey boys, we've got enough to pay £100-120M for a player!

Ermmm ........... NO!

We're not facking CHELSEA!

 

[GT49er]

No. but we may be f*cking Chelsea if we sell them Caicedo for £40M plus Colwill. Bring it on! That would be a good transfer window!


(TBH, that wouldn't be a bad deal for them either)
