Transfer thread

A fit Nicolas Jackson is super athletic but a wild finisher, so not worth a huge outlay, but remember he is far better than a crocked Ritchie on the treatment table.

Chilwell is perma-crocked.

This window is becoming increasingly frustrating, barely any real movement in or out when what is needed for both should have been fairly obvious.

Had we brought in MGW i'd be reasonably content so far with seeing 3 first team options coming in (kudus + MGW + Palinha) but having seen our movement stall since then, compounded by the loss of Maddison, then a different picture is forming.

I agree. But as you point out one signing is essentially the difference between a frustrating window and a window to be reasonably content with at this point.

Hopefully we get that one right and over the line fairly quickly.

We just need to hold our nerve even if it means buying nobody. We only need 2 type of buys in my opinion

21-26 year olds that compete immediately in the first team
U21s to nurture and turn into first teamers

I know we probably feel a little beaten up from the BM game. We went into it with a long injury list and that probably equated to 4 first team unavailable. We played one of Europe's finest teams and it probably did us some good in a perverse sort of way, especially exposing the left side weaknesses. Even with our first team, it would have been incredibly tough as we're not at that level just yet.

Obviously a big signing would be great but the most important thing is that any new signing maps to our long term plan like Kudus does. Just buying for the sake of buying or plugging short term gaps is a mugs game. We should know that from our history.
 
Going into another season 2 to 3 players short would be a disaster if it happens. Udogie can't be relied upon so a LB is needed, Solanke is ok but has injury issues so another CF is needed and with Maddison now out and Kulu a while away we need another ACM.
If we don't get these issues rectified we will struggle, our squad isn't deep enough or have enough quality yet.
