It’s a huge transfer window for the club that’s approaching, one that asks Bloom whether he really wants to pursue the ambition of the “next step”.
We’ve been in Europe but have fallen off this season due to injuries but also inadequate replacements of key players we lost last summer.
My question now is how many do we really need in - first of all we have to get our current players fit - but some of the injuries we know are complicated and could take time.
It’s my opinion that we need 6 providing the unlikely circumstance of deniz undav returning and playing his part, happens.
New rb (Hinshelwood injured/young and making his way, veltman solid, lamptey injury prone - we need a standout right back)
New Lcb:
A natural left footer - better and more athletic then Igor - someone to complement JPVH/dunk
A LB - to compete/stick a rod up pervis’s arse while Barca plays EVERY week on loan to help him develop
2 new cm/dm
A ready and firing caicedo/bissouma type who baleba can learn off and can win the ball for us - crucial for RDZ’s Albion of 22/23 /
Another centre mid in the same mould who can provide cover - again should baleba go on loan if not ready?
A right winger - the links with nico Gonzalez are tantalising yet excruciating - all of these inconsistent yet talented left wing options yet we have no one to play on the right
If undav gets his way and stays in Germany we also need a striker - can rely on the lack of goals we’ve had from CF again - need another option / if only we hadn’t sold Gyokeres for like 8 million

But yes, arguably in De Zerbi ball one of the most important outliers on the pitch
Nope.
