[Albion] What do we still need in this transfer window?

[sparkie]

I always love the mid transfer window stocktaking thread.

We ideally still need a total of 8 defenders unless we rely on Offiah/Karbownik to be the 8th - and we have 6.

I think we need :

1. A central defender.
2. A right back if Lamptey is sold.
3. A central midfielder if Caicedo is sold.
4. The "8th defender", possibly a left back. I doubt that this is Karbownik.

 

[dwayne]

A midfielder who has played FB at the top of the PL and in the Champions League.

Yes but my point to the other guy is that milner will still play if we are stacked in defence

 

[dwayne]

It's bizarre, isn't it?

Only Don Hutchison seemed to notice, and no-one listens to him it seems.

Liverpool, Man City to engage in two-way battle for Brighton sensation as Klopp eyes double Seagulls swoop

Pundit and former player Don Hutchison has tipped Liverpool or Manchester City to sign Brighton left-back Pervis Estupinan this summer.

Was in Gary Neville's team of the season.

We’re in a phoney war, where little’s revealed. Other than mega spending Arsenal, all clubs fans appear to be frustrated. It’s our impatience, wanting the squad complete by mid July.

Imho, we need:
CB - even if we sign Igor
LB - an injury to Estupinan would be a huge blow
DM - assuming Caicedo will depart
Goal scoring forward, not necessarily a striker

Based on a raft of extra games en route to EL glory in Dublin.

Shirts that fit across the shoulders

Shirts that fit across the shoulders

Akinfenwa sized players required then, that will stretch the fabric

 

[Mancgull]

Once Igor is in, then I think Milner and Lamptey can provide cover for both Pervis and Joel.
If we get Palmer in from City then we are pretty much done if Moises stays.
If, as expected, Moises goes then we need another midfielder. We’ve been linked with a few and assume we’ve sounded out clubs re what we’d need to pay.

 

[S.T.U cgull]

Think the LB cover will be Furlong rather than an external signing

 

[scwiffy]

Its mad that at the top of most peoples list is a backup LB for Pervis and yet despite the numerous transfer rumours we have't been linked with any LBs (as far as I've seen - at least not strongly). Maybe RDZ/Brighton are backing Karbownik?? Surely our midfield "can do a job there" players aren't sufficient!?

 

[Zebedee]

What about a striker? We're not exactly flush with options up front.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Most urgently Full Backs, secondary Centre backs. I like our midfield and attacking options we are stacked in those areas.

 

[wellquickwoody]

Right winger, RWB, whatever. A first choice one.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Definitely a right back.

TL is really only a back up and cup option for RB these days for us.

 

[Justice]

I think Milner has come to play why sit on our Bench when he could warm Liverpool’s bench probably for more money.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I've asked bw2 and he says a striker

 

[BadFish]

Another thread about Jesus?

 

[dejavuatbtn]

I think Milner has come to play why sit on our Bench when he could warm Liverpool’s bench probably for more money.

I think he has come to learn from RDZ. He’s probably got as much out of the other decent PL managers over his career. Not sure Liverpool really wanted him this season.
He‘ll get plenty of game time either starting for injured players, giving some a rest off the bench or doing what he does in times of crisis.

 

[Farehamseagull]

3 more:

First choice right back;
First choice centre back (ideally left sided);
Cover at left back.

 

[Heart and Soul]

What about a striker? We're not exactly flush with options up front.

If you exclude Evan Ferguson, Danny Welbeck, Deniz Undav, Joao Pedro and Julio Enciso, it certainly looks rather thin.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Give it a couple of defeats in August and people will be DEMANDING a brand new squad!
