Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

I agree but it sounds like Hause is off.

Very worrying that essentially from the side that finishes with 2 wins in 12, our only first team signing is Kamara if Carlos is out long term.  Forward and Number 8 options appear to have been shelved too.  End of the season there was much talk about Gerrard having a decent amount to spend,  but it's not really happened so far.

I hope we don't think of putting Kamara into defence!

I would like to see Feeny get a move up.

Konsa
Mings
Chambers
Hause

Is enough I think till Carlos is back

Still makes us weaker overall. Carlos was purchased as a straight into the first team player. I think Ming’s will be a better player if he knows he will be dropped. I expect us to replace Carlos with similar or better quality. We can’t afford a season of just making do with the existing players IMO

Now that would be two steps backwards after one step forwards

It’s been very quiet hasn’t it, perhaps the stadium costs are a consideration. Hopefully we have an exciting deadline day (but no panic buys please)

[Paul.S]

Competition pushes players and therefore makes them better. If Gerrard was happy with what we’ve got he wouldn’t have signed Carlos so I fully expect a replacement. Not a makeshift but some quality. Maybe we are waiting for some outgoings before we do but this is a must, unless we are happy finishing in the bottom half.

[ozzjim]

If he's out for the season I expect a centre half and a midfielder that can walk into the team still.  I just don't believe Gerrard is happy with this squad for the season. 

[Paul.S]

Agreed. Both a must if we have any ambition of moving into the top half.

[VinnieChase84]

We 100% need more recruits. CB, CM and a FW. Gerrard won’t be happy with the current backing. Now Carlos is out we’ve effectively added one player to a side that was pretty crap.
The next two weeks will tell me a lot about what the clubs actually ambitions are this season

[Steve67]

Sorry Vinnie, that reads like Gerrard is unhappy with the backing he's getting?  I presume not the case?

Not heard he’s ‘unhappy’ but he defo wanted more in than we’ve done so far

Thanks Vinnie, let's all hope he gets his way.  I agree that we now need 3 players in, especially if Hause looks like he might be going. Any more info on players?

News tighter than a ducks ass. Think priority was still clearing the decks of the likes of AEG, Sanson, Hause

[Dante Lavelli]

I tend to agree that should be the priority, way too much waste in the squad before we can think about bringing in more players.
