Tommo 51 Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Midfield - Like the look of Conor Gallagher on loan at Swansea from Chelsea, I believe we were linked with a loan move back in Jan. has a flair about his play in central midfield and always looking for positive passes into attacking players. Striker - I would like us to go for either Gayle or Wickham, both would do the damage in the champ. Can’t imagine Pukki and Drmic staying and whilst Idah is a big up and coming talent we couldn’t rely consistently on him to fire us back to the prem. GK - Silvestri who played for Leeds would be a good experienced option. Or maybe Angus on loan if he continues to be reserve keeper for Southampton ? Imagine Krul has done enough to earn himself a prem league move or top level club in Europe. Would love him to stay though.

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,703 Posted June 30, 2020 Silvestri has had a fine season in Serie A this year, with the possibility of Europa League qualification. No way will he be dropping down to the Championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So we will need to be plucking another unknown European defensive midfielder. to be fair Melvin Sitti is a DM but he will need time to adapt to the demands of the English game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted June 30, 2020 Fully depends who goes obviously but either way, we need a plan b striker who is more of a physical option. Ivan Toney would be absolutely ideal as far as I'm concerned. As for the rest of the business, it seems like we've already done much of it. Might be useful to use the loan market on some talent like Brewster or something or Neco Williams from Liverpool but perhaps they might be deemed ready for the squad.

All the Germans 1,070 Posted June 30, 2020 I'd like: - Another winger with pace. - As mentioned above, a DM who can defend AND pass the ball. (top, top, top priority.) - A back up / youth Keeper, so that we are not one injury away from McGovern having to play. - Replace Drmic with someone who has played / seen / heard of the game of Football previously. - Thin out the midfielders we have, partially to make way for the above winger & DM but also because we already have too many; we have McClean, Tettey, Trybull, Rupp, Leitner, Vrancic, Stiepermann, Buendia, Cantwell and Hernandez for 5 positions (ignoring Sitti, Thompson, Martin, Mumba & Sinani, as unsure how involved they will be). - Contradicting the above, but keep hold of as many of your current players as we can (that we want to!). As it is a wishlist, I would also like to improve; - Number of homegrown players. - General pace of the team. Hernandez, Aarons and Lewis aside, we are very slow. - Height of team. Every set-piece it's only our central defenders who are of similar stature to their counterpart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tommo 51 Posted July 1, 2020 We definitely need a GK as part of summer transfers - McGovern as our back up isn’t going to cut it and of course there is the possibility of Krul leaving if we are relegated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,093 Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Klose, Zimmerman and Handley will do fine in the Chumps, but we need a.n.other (old hand?) as insurance against injury.Then we will have the youngster to blood in Famenowo as well. Fine there. For some reason, and I admit a degree of footballing illiteracy here, Ben Godfrey (who will attract possibly more muti-millions and than the others) is the player I would least mind cashing in on. We will need a 'cruncher' in midfield as a defensive midfielder of enough quality to be our biggest expense. Kenny Mc., Rupp and Trybull as the workhorses, whilst Tettey appears to have had a leg transplant. Full backs ... rob the binners of Kane Vincent-Young (£3m should do it,) their only player of real class. Whether we sell anybody or not. Another kick in the **** for the beloved ones? See no reason whatsoever for Pukki to leave, we are stuck with Drmic (he might come good on those occasions he is actually fit) and Idah is clearly a prospect of some prospectivity. Rhodes would be cheaper now but may be still a bit of a lux, but I'd be happy with him back in the yellow. Creative midfield. Hardest area as we do not know who will go. However, Stiepermann should come back to the fore, may be even Leitner and we have youth. and Super Mario. GK. I see no reason for Krul to leave and Remi Mathews (sp) is a free agent if neither Oxborough nor Mair are considered ready. We won't need much, and even if we sell a couple we will retain the dust of the PL upon our shoulders. Edited July 1, 2020 by BroadstairsR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Godfrey leaves I'd suggest we'd need to add a couple, depending on how the management team view Famewo. I love Klose but I've got very little faith in him to stay healthy and I think the injuries have hurt his long term ability. Hanley and Zimmermann are more than good enough for the Championship.
