He was but he wanted to play in a proper league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodison Glory Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 As much as I'd like some more talent to come in, II'm hoping we shift a couple and not just loans (Gomes, Gbamin would be my wish list). anybody else goes and we need 1 for 1 replacements (e.g. Maupay, Iwobi, Gray).

It does seem we are after a centre-back who can cover rb by the links. I also want a live wire winger - once again the Gnonto pursuit and Sulemana links suggest we’re in the market for one. I’m being greedy now but if Arsenal/Man C are really allowing Smith-Rowe/Palmer leave, even for just a season/ buy-back, then we need to be all over this.

Spence is off to Leeds. Hayden's deal to Luton is falling through. I'd add Cole Palmer to the list if we can sneak in there. Nketiah and Cornet not available it seems. I'd consider giving up a nut if we sold Keane and brought in Harwood-Bellis with an option to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said no-one wants them, whereas the truth is plenty of clubs want them, they just don't want to pay for them. Slight difference, neither helps us of course. dunlopp9987 and chicagoblue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 I think we really need 3 players to make the squad look more complete: 1. RB 2. Number 10 / creative midfielder 3. CB I think this has been one of our best windows for a long time but add any of those and it will just get better and better. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 If Iwobi, Gray and Cannon are going (as rumoured) I think we’ll need 2 attacking players wide/10. Options: Striker: Beto, DCL, Maupay (I think he’s available at the right price), Chermiti Wings/10: McNeil, Harrison, Danjuma, Dobbin Not bad options now when fully fit but look at our injuries already and it shows we’re short. With quite a few central midfield options already, I shouldn’t be hoping for Kalvin Phillips on-loan but he’d improve us so so much - he’s off somewhere on-loan. I’d happily see Garner played right-back (a role I think he plays better than right mid) regularly to fit Phillips - not happening anyway!!!

Goodison Glory Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 I don't think our business is done. I can see at least 3 out (cannon, gray and one other - Gbamin poss) hopefully we can get one more in, across the line. I think it'll be someone we've been working for a while - like sulemana.

I think it's dangerous to rate our window so soon. Yes it's miles better than Jan (because we got no one) however last summer we were saying the same thing - we thought "great we have 2 new CBs, especially high on Tarks, we were delighted with midfield recruits and the age of Onana/Garner (some were happy with Gana coming back)..McNeil etc Palfy and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
