Supervillan78 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Really dislike the idea of signing Felix on loan. Can’t stand the thought of paying his astronomical wages as he struts around the place with his inflated ego ‘dreaming of playing for Barca’, while churning out a string of inept performances before inevitably getting injured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let him dream what he wants, as long as he comes and committed then why not? He’s a real quality. I normally don’t like big names, but I think his qualities are hard to ignore (add to that the fact that not many teams can use him, he’s perfect for our way of playing).

I doubt we would engage in a pure loan without an option to purchase Also Felixs off field junk is bleeding into perceptions of his on field performances - he was far from inept at Chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love that but id be suprised if any of the first two come I think zanicolo is ollies backup so dont think a striker is on the list but i hope im wrong Right back is a urgent position that we need addressing Edited August 26, 2023 by Demitri_C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted August 26, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 26, 2023 At the moment we do seem to have a smaller squad than last year… when we’re in a European competition too… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) Chiesa, Torres, Fati, Johnson. These are all players we’ve been linked with that haven’t moved yet. I’m sure there’s lots more. I keep harking back to when we were linked with Alemany and all of the reports were that he was to be given a ‘blank cheque’ when it came to signings. Not only that, reporters like Collomosse have been saying we’re in for another attacker/midfield option throughout (perhaps Zaniolo was one of these). It doesn’t feel like we’ve had a ‘blank cheque’ style Summer and I still think we’re light in the left side of attack. I’d be very surprised if we didn’t bring at least one more big signing in considering it’s likely Coutinho will leave and players like Philogene, Archer are moving on. Would love to sign a really high profile left sided midfielder to compete with Ramsey and a top quality right back. We’d be in such a strong position.

We do need to start bringing a few more players in now, a couple more injuries and we will be using youth players.... With the extra games from Europe we can't expect out mian 11 to play every game, the bench looked light vs hibs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I think we will see an attacking player join, someone high profile who would have us as their 2nd or 3rd option and waiting until late in window before accepting us. I think we're set in defence. Dendonker is an experienced CB in a back three so I feel his versatility along with Chambers has us covered there. We've three top class CBs fit and Carlos can operate on either side too. Digne in or out means replacement in our out so that solves itself. One more attacking player we all are excited about completes this squad for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Duran/Watkins Zaniolo/Diaby JJ/New Luiz/Tielemans Kamara/Dendonler McGinn/Bailey Digne/Moreno, Pau/Konsa/Carlos, Cash/Chambers Martinez/Olsen If we can get that left sided winger/forward who can play up top or off left. That will balance out the squad I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
