If we are 'going cheap' this window, then best just drop the number of signings down from 2-3 to 1-2 and concentrate the cash on fewer players rather than spread it thin.
If Murray or Montoya gets injured we look in big trouble.
Would feel a lot more comfortable getting 1 of the 3 needed in the bag now, and just having to get a further 2 more rather than 3 more in the next 16 days.
2-3 more signings for sure - that's a striker and a right back, and maybe a central midfielder.
I think we are struggling with how to split the budget for these 3 - if we fill 2 of the 3 positions, then the 3rd one has to be bargain budget ?
Any Knockaert fee clearly will help this.
At least we only have 1-4 signings to make.
Always a little concerning though if a striker signing runs too close to deadline day - we might end up with a Vincent Janssen !
Although this year it would be better to avoid any last minute panic dross strikers - and stick with Connolly and Mlakar.
