eddylcfc Posted 8 August 2019 Share Posted 8 August 2019 Extremely concerned about CB depth. Evans' injury record will eventually come back to bite us so if we expect to push the top 6 with Soyuncu, Wes and Benkovic as our CB's, then god help us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. The Club are hardly likely to keep RL informed of their business intentions are they. It is true that we will not know the truth until the Window is shut.

Blanchflower78 Posted 8 August 2019 Share Posted 8 August 2019 Hopefully this window will see a new shift towards future ones, ie peoples inability to not be taken in by someones stories. What's happening is all behind closed doors, we hear when it's close. Outside of that there is little some bloke at the club will be privy to... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benkovic is now a Full Croatian International and Cags has played 20+ times for Turkey. They will both be fine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xen Posted 8 August 2019 Share Posted 8 August 2019 Just one signing today - Praet. CB depth is a little bit of a concern, but expect we'll pick someone up in January when the hype around the Maguire windfall has died down and we won't be as heavily priced out of the market. Soyuncu to come good in the meantime and prove the doubters wrong, with Benkovic looking good as backup and in the cups. We're in a pretty good position heading into the new season. People are panicking because some of our competitors like Everton are spending big on deadline day, but they do that every single year and every time they fail to live up to the expectation. After the Praet deal we'll have a net spend of just £9m - possibly even a profit after future outgoings - losing just one 'key' player and vastly improving our midfield and attack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieTodger Posted 8 August 2019 Share Posted 8 August 2019 Yeah I can't imagine we'll sign anyone other than Praet, but lets not pretend that RL know any more than we do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonaldinho Posted 8 August 2019 Share Posted 8 August 2019 Praet, plus perhaps a CB on loan. All in all it's been a good window for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're approaching the 'time for a loan' stage.... Don't often bother with medicals for loans either with less long term risk attached. Those deals can get done in half an hour.

Popular Post Mickyblueeyes Posted 8 August 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 8 August 2019 I bet those worried about Cags and Benkovic as starters would be absolutely gagging for us to get the deals over the line if we were actually linked with them today rather then already having them in the squad. Why are we always so so quick to ridicule and disregard young talent ? It happens all the bloody time !! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be prudent to get another CB in, for the cover/numbers sake. However, if we stop as soon as we get Praet (Please), then we should be good.

Hollyfox Posted 8 August 2019 Share Posted 8 August 2019 As it stands, we have a fantastic squad of players. Established top flight players and some very exciting young players coming through. If they get someone in, then great, but if they don't, I'm still looking forward to this season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakey Posted 8 August 2019 Share Posted 8 August 2019 (edited) If we signed Benkovic today rather than last year do you think everyone would still be getting their knickers in a twist? Because we basically didn't have him as he was out on loan Edited 8 August 2019 by Bakey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
