Belgian guy I know through work said we’ve been linked with Matthijs de Ligt from Ajax by the papers in Belgium...anyone heard similar?
:lol: :lol:
I’m assuming he’s at the wind up?
Spurs and Barcelona linked with him mate.

Definitely winding you up.

Its a bit of a joke that we are going into our first game of the season still without a new right back signed. We've known for 6 months at least that this was they key position. Now we've no hope of getting someone and bedding them into a settled defence before the 4th and play off rounds
Thing is - it's not a key position in a 352 formation, in fact it doesn't even exist as a position, never mind "key position".

No way we're gonna play a rigid 3-5-2 all season. None

We need a right back, amongst other positions.

But if we do play it often, Lustig doesn't play as many games. Guessing they might chance it. It wouldn't surprise me.

Any more news on the one we were linked with after the other fella's trial didn't work out?

Think he was a Wigan player?

Nothing as of yet.

Tom James also a RB linked with us.

Don't know if its media guesswork linking them with us though.

Think the only players we have interest in that have been reported are Wilson and McGinn

I can't think of many involving us. The guy is listed as a LWB though... :suspect:

The transfer window in World Cup year is like the January sales in reverse.

All the hopeless and hapless hook up with each other early on as the real business can't get underway until late in the window, when unfortunately the goods on offer cost far more.

There are of course odd exceptions to the rule.

I'd hope that we have at least three additions to the team by the time the league gets underway. We need more than that, but I'd think three is all we're likely to get.

If we have two absolutely solid signings in the £4m bracket and a supplementary one or two, that still puts us ahead of the hun with their chucking shampoo at a wall transfer approach.

Crap window so far, to be honest.
Agreed. It's been an absolute brammer so far...not. But it it is still early days although it is disappointing no one has been brought in early to bed in for (hopefully) a few CL qualifiers. Sevco are signing players all over the place. Hopefully they will be gash as usual but we won't know until they start playing. We are standing still/gone a little bit backwards compared to last season's squad. Still plenty of time though.

Add back up to KT and a few more of the deadwood out and that would be the perfect window

Agree with all of the above except the loan deal for a young winger. Unless they'd instantly become an automatic first pick and instantly improve us, then it's just not worthwhile for us developing other team's players at the expense of our own. Not at this stage with this team. I'm not convinced even Paddy would displace Forrest right now, and he's one of the loan signings that was a resounding success. On the other side of the spectrum you get a Musonda or Tonev.

If we want to get Harry Wilson or someone similar in then let's get them on a permanent deal. Very high likelihood of it being pointless if we don't.

A similar deal to Edouard would be good where we have already agreed the deal in principle if we want to go ahead with it, saves us having a repeat of the paddy situation where we couldn't sign him after a successful spell and if it's another Musonda we could cancel the loan and move on.

True, but cutting deals short isn't something we want to be making a habit of. I'd be very wary of any sort of demands from the parent club about game time as well. Agree though that a loan to buy deals are a decent shout. Probably something we should have utilised a lot more in the past.

I said when the season finished this summer could be a big transfer window for us. We were losing Roberts and likely Armstrong, Armstrong has now gone along with Paddy, leaving us as we were last season.

BR transfer record with ourselves hasn't been great, more misses than hits.

Plenty time to go in this window though and hopefully we come out of it stronger than when we went in.

That's not really true. When he's spent proper money on wages or fees he's got it spot on.

I would like to see us sign a couple of older players 27-28 bracket who will maybe give us something extra in a European sense I just feel we have far to much inexperience when it comes to the top level of European football where we should at least be competitive never mind 5-0 gubbings at home we shouldn't be on the receiving end of a result like that at home regardless of the opposition.

Not disagreeing on the good business. Too many misses for whatever reason though.
