alreadyexists Posted August 30, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 30, 2022 At the start of the window I only wanted a new DM and a new CB, we got both so I can’t say this window has been dreadful as I think we got what we needed. That said, the window is still open, and things aren’t working on the pitch, we either need new people or we need to change the way we play with the people we have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last signing was 11th July. Gerrard had most of last season and all of pre-season to assess what he needs. He said we needed a number 8 weeks ago and yet still nothing, whilst our rivals have strengthened in that exact area. We have made a right pigs ear of this window when it started so brightly. Now we are likely to be scrabbling around for players that other teams don’t want. Definitely a sure fire way to improve. The club had had two years to sign a CDM and 'no 8'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) Thought Lacroix would go to Leicester but they’ve just signed some Belgium defender called Wout Faes for £17mill… Him or Adbou Diallo and we are sorted at the back… Edited August 30, 2022 by thabucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be right but it’s flawed logic if so, there’s gaps in the squad with the outgoings and injury to Carlos that even if they bin gerrard they are hindering the new man. Short sighted view if so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

string28 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I think we will get a cb but that might be it now seem like we are leaving it late. Maybe a surprise cb that we haven't been linked to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trillvillan Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Not a priority - but I'd love if we somehow would go after Aaron Wan-Bissaka... With a tactical mind of a new manager I could see utilizing Bissaka at CB in a 5 at the back and Cash as a RWB. The pace on that side... Reminds me a little of Kyle Walker in a sense. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Signing a Midfielder or a Forward won't fix anything. The problem is not lacking talented players it is the complete failure of the system Gerrard is forcing them to play. The players and fans know the system is the problem. We are making two of our most talented attacking players in JJ and McGinn play as defenders while having the inferior attacking threat of the full backs be part of the attack It's daft and opposition know how easy it is to defend and how easy it is to exploit 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
