Three.

 

1) Ayew

2) Nelson on loan 

3) A striker 

We also seem to be in the market for a CB…

[Sankey93]

I want 4 but no chance 😂

[Pliskin]

Welcome Moyes.

[FoxesWalk]

At this point I’d take just a striker but we actually need a striker, creative midfielder, and left back as a minimum, ideally. 

[Jazzy_Jeff]

There will be a lot of movement this week.

 

Lots of over-inflated squads that will need trimming. Think we’ll end up with another 4, one permanent, one on loan with obligation and two straight loans

Vardy had virtually no service at the weekend so an attacking midfielder to as far as possible replace  KDH has been no  1 priority IMO all summer

Ideally a big centre forward that can hold the ball up and score a few goals but if not any capable striker 

Wouldn’t want to see any more money spent on other areas until these 2 areas are covered

As long as we hang on to Ward, I will be satisfied.  I suspect no one is coming in. The alleged activity is a smoke screen to keep FT under control until after the Window Shuts.  It called Sensi-optics.

[Grebfromgrebland]

Well probably need a riccy and kristiansen replacements too

 

 

[Dahnsouff]

Three. Moroccan Mahrez, then striker on loan Datro or Weghorst, then a random Lb, both loans on DD

[Stopharage]

We’re going to end up with Weghorst or Wood. Fotis is a smokescreen.

Would be ok with Weghorst for some reason.

You just know that Cooper is desperate for a ‘big man’ to hold onto the ball up front. He’s probably searching FM now with one search parameter - over 6’5”. 

[kyleolly]

A right back who can defend, a midfielder who can create and a striker who can score not too much to ask surely 

[kingfox]

3.

 

El Khannouss will be the sexy signing. 
 

Then they’ll kill the mood by signing Datro Fofana and Matt Targett. 

[indierich06]

I originally put 3 - I think that was pre-Ayew. That's looking like pie in the sky stuff now. 

[The boy Linacre]

Anybody, coz having been to both games so far that side has no to very few goals in it.  

I don't understand why they won't gamble on staying up.  We need a striker no doubt & at least a creative/attacking midfielder.  We HAVE to have some quality go forward.

Worried......

Why are we just so inept at this and when we do get them in we pay way over the odds and pay THEM way over the odds so we can't get rid of them, the list is too long to show but the latest iteration is our "sprinting" friend Soumare.

Would be delighted with either of those at this point tbh, both will score goals in this league.

Leicester sign winger Chossenotte from Reims
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c9d1v03g2e5o
 

"She is Leicester's sixth signing of the summer after the arrivals of former Reims team-mate Noemie Mouchon, Tottenham defender Asmita Ale, Jamaica midfielder Chantelle Swaby, Belgium defender Sari Kees and Manchester City midfielder Ruby Mace."

Our WSL team has made more signings than our men's team.

Are you sure - men have signed Fatawu, Golding, Ayew, Okoli, Skipp, BDCR, Buenonotte (granted loan) - I make that 7, compared 6 by the ladies. Add to this the imminent signing of  Bilal EL Khannous, that's 8.

Why let facts get in the way of the narrative (that we haven't got enough signings)? 

Who are you, Rudkin?

I think we've made enough signings, just not that many who are the right ones.

Weghorst has 2 goals in his last 37 matches in the league

Fair. 

Not sure Okoli or Golding will add anything this season. Jury is still out on BDCR, Ayew and Skipp. 

We had to sign Fatawu (which is good) and Buonanotte has shown promise. So at the moment, our success ratio is around 2/7. That could improve, of course (depending on performances), but "uninspiring" is probably the best word to describe our business so far. 

 

[1972 Fox]

However many signings we do or don't make, you can rest assured that for any incomings it will be dragged out to the last minute (or 14 seconds too late).

 

Why do we appear to do this every window? Are there other clubs that do this or is it only us?

 

Rudkin out.
