David Gold was on Talksport this morning.  He didn't mention him by name, but basically the money they were bidding for Tarkowski was all they had. The skint pricks.
Be nice to nip in and steal him ;)

With Mings, Konsa, Hause and hopefully a fit Engels at some point I really hope we don't go and drop another £20m + on a centre back.  Konsa deserves a proper crack at being first choice and I see the other two as sufficient back up.

They need to spend any money left on midfield and another winger / striker.  A leftback would be nice but I don't see it as realistic this window.

As others have said Tammy is a pipe dream now Batshuayi has gone.

Rice is a good player, not sure he is worth that much but could be their midfield lynchpin for years like Lampard was.


Apparently they want him to play him at centre-back.

That was supposedly what they were originally going to do but now they're meant to be looking at him as a defensive midfielder.

So if we were doing a priority list for new signings (&/or loans) what would yours be?

Today mine would be:
1. Striker
2. Powerful Centre Mid
3. Back up Centre Half
4. Winger
5. Left Back

Tomorrow probably different again

Strikers, wingers and maybe a central midfielder. Defenders are boring.

1. Central midfielder x 2 - put McGinn and hourihane on the bench.
3. Left Back
4. Striker / wide forward.

Sky have the biggest agenda going with their 'Transfer Centre' and associated bollocks. It's funny how they report on deals and get everyone betting on it isn't it?

Apart from the fact that they don’t own Sky Bet anymore

Ah, well, err, apart from that.... 😉

I'd have that Bowen off Wet Sham if they are desperate for cash :)

Rice, albeit on a limited sample size, has never impressed me much.

Have your tried couscous as an alternative?

Haha!

This window:
1. Defensive midfield
2. Winger/Striker

Next summer:
1. Left back
2. Right back
3. Central midfielder
Plus possibly some more depending on who's available and where our weaknesses are

the number of players we bring in is now dependant on how many we ship out

Reading that list we must have a lot of weaknesses

Eventually we will have a squad of 40 - no one ever leaves us unless it is a free transfer at the end of their contract

This guy's comedy credentials are sorely overlooked.
