I’m not saying you are right or wrong but we have been no indication that either is true. I can see us spending a lot or a little depending on circumstances, I also can see us buying one or two because of availability or buying quite a few because foreign teams financial issues, Emery’s pull, Emery wanting several positions, Emery not fussed about expense of a player but skill set so could see quite a few cheaper coming through the door like Moreno. IMO we’ve got no friggin clue what, how much, who is going to happen. Mmm its unknown but im going off the usually jan window activity which tends to see less high profile player movement which we want to try and secure and hopefully we dont settle for less with our targets and then come summer say we spent it in jan.. forward and a full back please but ill wait till summer if it means we can get a high profile one. Tielemans and Moussa Diaby would be a dream combination soon i want to be looking at that team sheet and say yes we can tear these lot apart and have minimal doubts.

RicRic Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Yeah ultimately Buendia, watkins, Mcginn, bailey,cash and Mings are not good enough to propel us to that next level (particularly the highlighted players and most should be replaced by the summer, that line up is only what id like to see after this window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think we can keep Ings and Watkins, on a combined weekly salary of £200k+ and bring in another striker that’s better than both (because we want to improve right?)? Ings is a prime candidate to be sold. Getting older, huge wages, reserve striker. We as a club need to back ourselves to sell players that we know aren’t going to get us to where we want to be, and then bring in players that we think might. It’s down to the scouting department to work that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players who I mentioned don't play and should be a priority to ship out, not our top scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Moreno is quicker than Digne. Deulofeu is quicker than Buendia. We need pace. So this is positive for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchy Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Not sure how I feel about a new LB, especially one who’s 29. Would much rather we were after someone in between 19-23 who could push Digne but also not jeopardise Chrisene (if the clubs plan is for him to be a full back). I would have thought one of Balde, Truffert, Gutierrez, Merlin and Merkez would have been a better fit personally. I trust the process though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
