Romey 1878 Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Please don't be like "watch this space" and we're all sat there until the window closes (and an hour beyond more than likely) waiting for signings that don't happen .

c1982 Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 I think we’d like 4 but will get 3 through the door. 1. Gueye - this one will hopefully be done and dusted today. 2. Another central midfield player from Dendoncker, Garner, Kudus (although he may be seen as more of an attacking wide player), Gallagher (on-loan if he becomes available), Gilmour (although I think we’ve since moved on). 3. A wide ‘live wire’ forward player loads linked and still think new names will appear - Chukwueze is a new name today, that Ukrainian lad - maybe something completely out of the blue here, wouldn’t surprise me if Traore gets mentioned again. 4. A striker - Brereton Diaz, Pedro, Broja (on-loan late if he becomes available), Hwang (I think this was just paper talk though), maybe one of the players from the French league linked earlier in the window Guirassy, Moffi, etc. I think we’ll actively be looking to sell Allan, Gomes and Rondon - Keane or Mina probably would have been available had Mina, Godfrey and Holgate not got injured. Not using any of the subs yesterday spoke volumes. I think and hope we’ll still be very busy. RuffRob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Anything more than 1 or 2 players I’ll be hugely surprised. Still think/hope it will be Gueye & Broja. Would love another winger though so we can use this 5 sub rule. dunlopp9987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffRob Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 It did sound last night in one of Lampard's interviews that another striker might not be of the highest priority. He was keen to reiterate that Dom will soon be back. Gana and Garner do sound like they are now very high probability. I would like another offensive player - but in the same breath I don't want to see any last minute panic buy over priced crap come here either. I think Borja loan would be ideal, but guess that would depend on who Chelsea manage to bring in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the 5 sub rule position dependent? meaning you can't just make any 5 subs across any/all positions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodison Glory Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 I think we will get additional 3 players in (with one being a loan) but zero from Chelsea. If I was them I'd tell us where to go on Gallagher/Broja (seeing as we did not accept their bids for Gordon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Yeah, like you said I think anything from Chelsea is a no no, now that we put the blocks on Gordon moving over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fosse Captain Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Don’t know a lot about Garner but for £15 million it’s got to be a no brainier. Gibbs-White did well in EFL and was staggeringly expensive. This kid also did well in EFL and appears remarkably cheap in comparison. Signings so far have been of a certain mould and character. Really happy with this. Exciting times ahead (and by that I mean mid-table) but I’ll take that this season for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 I didn't think we could outdo the window when we brought in Barry and Lukaku, but this one takes the biscuit by a mile. Our business has been, and continues to be, superb. It will take a couple of months for the team to gel, but I'm now confident of a top half finish.

AlbanyNYToffee Posted August 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Quick reminder on outgoings - the windows in Portugal, Belgium, Turkey, Greece and Russia all open beyond September 1 so we shouldn't immediately panic if Gomes, Allan and Rondon are still in the squad.

Didn’t we sign Baines, Jagielka and Pienaar in the same window? That would take some beating for me. AlbanyNYToffee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Just think about it: We have England's #1 in goal. We have Tarkowski and Coady as central defenders, both England internationals and proven leaders, with Holgate if we're playing three at the back. Mykolenko and Patterson provide the width in defence. In midfield, we're likely to have Gueye, Iwobi, and Onana - an impressive mix of youth and experience. With DC-L upfront with Maupay as backup, there might be Gordon and Chukwueze on the wings. Squad depth will also be quite impressive, with Begovic; Gray, McNeil, maybe Garner, Townsend, Doucoure, and Davies; Vinagre, Keane, Godfrey, Mina, and Coleman; with youngsters Warrington, Mills, Cannon, and others coming through. Here's hoping Allan, Gomes, and Rondon are moved out. What a transformation! Matt and plaidharper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
