Watching Everton.  Ireogbunam is best player on field by a mile.  We might have dropped a clanger letting him go.

Everton fan was telling me today they think he’s the best signing they’ve made in years (based on pre-season, before the game). Doesn’t surprise me - don’t think anyone doubted his potential.

We're doomed, doomed I tell ya

Insane to look at our bench today and then realize that Mings, Kamara, Barrenechea, & Iling Junior weren't even on it.

Regardless guys getting 2 extra body's will help us , but quality only. Injuries and suspension, extra games take a toll.

I don't think we need anymore players. 

Fine line between having too many and upsetting the squad balance. 

I like the squad we have and on today, we will be up there this season. 

[AshVilla]

Get another starting RB in please.

Put Kosta in slowly and Cash can play the occasional game on the wing for us if were desperate.

It’s okay. We have Onana.

We need another attacking player to replace Diaby, Jaden isn’t the answer IMO.

Yup.

Onana is 22 (23 next week), 

Iroegbunam is 21.

There's a big gap between them in quality, but not really in age.I'd have loved Iroegbunam to make it here. We may well regret it or want to buy him back in the future. But the truth is, he needs to be at a team in the lower half to get minutes to become that player. We can't give it to him and unfortunately we couldn't afford not to sell him.

We may well regret it, but probably not this year or next.

Decision made after 20mins coming on as a sub a month or so after he joined the club... Lol

Geertruida needs to happen.

To be fair, we all assumed he'd effectively replace Zaniolo in the squad, with Iling-Jnr improving our depth hopefully.

We've then sold Diaby, We probably do need to bring another in. There was a bit of a question as to whether Jaden was Diaby's replacement, but if that doesn't seem likely, then we do need another.

And not necessarily by writing off Jaden, Zaniolo had ample opportunity to have a bigger impact last season than he did. Jaden will too, but perhaps unfair to expect him to go from Hull for 1 season to playing every game like Diaby did last season

[ROTTERDAM1982]

I liked Tim, but he is a million miles away from our 1st team

[cheltenham_villa]

Really need a right back, the drop in quality from from digne and Maatsen compared to Cash and Costa is ridiculous. 

[PaulMcGrath_5]

 

[Jas10]

Moreno & for Baena please…

[Jas10]

We really could do with Geertruida…
