Feels like things have slowed down somewhat from our uber-brisk start to this window.

What positions are still on your shopping list for this transfer window?

If it closed right now even taking into account Macallister and Colwill I'd be more than happy keeping Estupinan Mitoma and Caciedo plus what we already have signed will be a result, I'm astounded nobody has sniffed around Estupinan his stats for last season were incredible.

Agree but thinking about it none of the big names here or across Europe are in need of a left back

Wouldn't mind another striker/forward player, Ferguson and Welbeck our only options so injury to either would see us short, given we have European games on top of regular busy schedule. Would bloody love Broja but won't happen.

I think quite a few seem to think Pedro is a goalscorer, but he's not particularly if you look at his record. 1 in 5.5 or something?

I don’t think you’re alone in not immediately thinking of Undav. Whilst his general play isn’t perhaps up to the standard of his team mate’s and despite his Albion career making a slow start, he did make a valuable contribution towards the end of season.

I think Pedro will get some goals, it’s hard to judge a scoring record in a mid Championship Watford side.

Shit. I legitmately forgot Deniz. Sorry Deniz.

In that case, we're fine up top for now IMO. Maybe next year we might have to start looking at replacing/upgrading Welbeck.

LCB is the most obvious one. LB probably likely, but then again Roberto might think Lamptey is a decent cover on that side. If Caicedo moves on, I would expect another midfielder but as it stands there is already quite a lot of competition and someone else (probably Alzate) might have to move as well.

A left-sided centre back that can ideally play left back too. I would expect Milner to play at RB and LB when needed. That would give us:

Veltman
Lamptey
Dunk
JPVH
Webster
NEW LCB/LB
Estupinan
Milner

We don't need more than 8 defenders, even with the extra fixtures. Any more defenders and the likes of JPVH won't get enough game time, and Milner will never play.

Milner is a midfielder by trade !!

Can’t afford him. Like Chelsea cannot afford Caicedo. Mitoma is at risk though, especially if Mahrez leaves city. (Ps. All conjecture).

It's bizarre, isn't it?

Only Don Hutchison seemed to notice, and no-one listens to him it seems.

Good thing no-one listens to Don Hutchison then! Canny enough to notice that Citeh are using CBs at LB, and were in for Cucurella lastyear though. Can't see Liverpool coming for Pervis when they've got Robertson though.

Clubs might know that he would cost them an AWFUL lot of money, and with Cucurella in mind they might wait and see if he can repeat his performances from last season.
