Raw Dykes Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 With not long to go before the transfer window closes, and a healthy bank balance, how happy are you with the squad? I think the concensus is that we could maybe do with a CB to replace the departed Maguire, a winger to go straight into the first XI, or a bit of competition for Maddison and Tielemans. If you could only buy one more player before the season starts, which position would you strengthen?
Poznan34 Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 right wing. if we want to compete with top 6, Gray just isn't up to scratch.
StanSP Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 Said since Harry was going to be sold that given we're getting so much of him, it can help cover the Tielemans & Perez signing and give us a bit extra to spend on a winger. Whilst I love Albrighton and will always appreciate the 100% effort he puts in as well as his assists and good wing-play, I feel like we need another winger that can play on either side to make us really competitive. Gray I've given up with almost. Barnes I think will push on this season and again it's great we've got another youngster with high potential, but I think we need a winger that can help with the goals even more so. Perez will give us that but he's not an out-and-out winger which is where I think we lack sometimes (it was seen yesterday too). Chilwell & Pereira get forward well but think we need a game-changing talent in the winger area and not rely on a full-back all the time, as much as I love their attacking play. Winger is a priority for me. 2
That_Dude Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 (edited) Winger first and foremost. People have fears about the CH position which I can understand, but I don't see the point of having Soy and Benkovic on the bench and buy another defender. If it costs us the 6th place (which is still for me a stretch, even if Maguire stayed) then so be it. Are we going to nurture them their whole career? Time for them to swim or sink.

Tuna Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 Quality winger is and has been the missing link for a while now.
La-li-lu-le-lo Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 We need to spend some money on a serious player.. it’s alright selling Maguire for big bucks and not doing anything with it. We can afford the likes of Bailey and Ziyech... if we want to breach the top six, let’s sign a top class player. 3

Nick Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 Most needed is a creative CM in case Tielemans or Madders gets injured. Most wanted in order to compete is top class winger and then possibly a higher quality prem ready centre back. 1

sdb Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 I don't think we desperately need any area improving. We have enough CMs, wingers and CBs on our books. Too many are mediocre, but Benko, Soyuncu, Gray, Barnes, Siva, Mendy, maybe even Ghezzal would be exciting if new signings. We just need to actually play/improve them. 1

LinekersApples Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 Direct fast winger. Everything that DG should be, but isn’t. 3

Buzzell Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 Just now, LinekersApples said: He is very good. Very fast and direct. Just the type of player we want.
UniFox21 Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 6 minutes ago, LinekersApples said: Direct fast winger. Everything that DG should be, but isn’t. Not gonna spam you for names, but I assume we'll either be going for a direct, fast winger such as a Fraser or be in for a winger to cut in off the right flank? How do we think Fraser would fair here? Wilson and King for Bournemouth are a bit taller than us up top so the crosses he put in for them may not be as effective for us.
Billy Big Balls Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 I've got a feeling we'll go for Zaha. I'd personally prefer someone else because Zaha is very overpriced but I could see us fancying it. £65m on Zaha, £40m on Tarkowski, cover the difference by selling the deadwood. 3

Every time I see you comment on a player I instantly think we may be interested for me put a £70m bid in for Ake (£40m) & Fraser (£30m) personally think a club like Bournemouth May struggle to reject that type of money.
Fox92 Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 Winger. Gray and Albrighton don't contribute enough. Both score about 3 goals a season which isn't good enough for a side that wants to push top 6.
