Transfer Forum Now Open

We have already signed Melia, so that's 1 in already!

But I hope can shift players on quickly, if Frank doesn't want them, find someone who does.
 
Outgoings will be important, particularly for squad registration reasons.

Hopefully some real money and intent in this window, we surely need a bit more to get excited about on the pitch.

Going by rumours a left winger seems like the biggest priority. For me the dream signing would still be a properly good deep playmaker. I think Frank wants a left winger who can be that ball progression player on the left that Kudus is on the right.

Hope we continue down the path of prioritising technical quality highly, ideally in combination with physical attributes of course. And while what the manager wants obviously matters greatly if we invest big money it imo has to be with a clear plan to be a player that can do well with or without Frank and the current approach.
 
Remember how people said to be a serious club you need to pay whatever is required for the 'top' bracket of player?.. and we were accused under Levy of not being prepared to spend big money on a single player...

Fast forward a few months and the two biggest names from the summer striker market Sesko and Gyokeres have both failed to live up to the hype.

I think it just shows how important proper scouting and transfer strategy is. I mean we are all convinced Wharton is worth every penny we would need to pay but those big fees are not the guarantee you'd assume.
 
Would be quite happy with 2 in and 4/5 out to clear the decks ahead of summer.

Biss
Johnson
Davies
Scarlett
Tel

Are seemingly on the way out on a loan/being sold , Dragon maybe as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a couple of shock departures if we can get a replacement in

Vicario maybe

Also, history shows our best recent signings are not big money signings

I think we'll keep Tel and Dragusin - they will both get plenty of minutes through the spring. I think Takai (loan) might be the surprise departure
