2023 Summer transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

I reckon we’ll buy a right back and Doku.

Outside chance another striker.

Please let there be a keeper

Well yes, we don't want to lose any of them! :-)

They should do that kick the ball into the circle and claim a prize thing, and who does it gets to play in goal next game.

I think we'll still spend a reasonable amount, maybe another £60m total on 3 players but i'd be surprised at any more than that and it probably isn't really needed at this stage, we can look again in Jan or next summer. That said, if they want to blow a shed load more i won't complain.

Striker situation is a bit like the keeper situation, I think. We're either looking at spending big and replacing Watkins, or keeping the cost down and finding someone who is happy enough to be 2nd choice most of the time, and probably get a handful of starts here and there.

I honestly don't think we're looking for a replacement for him at the moment, so that does leave us with the Archer/Durán question, or, looking at one of the midfield players being able to play some games basically as an extremely attacking midfielder.

As for bringing someone in, I don't know, maybe getting someone on loan for a year might be an option?

[Drummond]

We have Watkins, Diaby, Archer and Duran. We don't need a young up and coming player because we have two of them. If anything we need a proper out and out centre forward.

AOC has raised its head again.  Sky saying us and Brentford interested in signing him.  Let's hope it's one that Brentford win.

[eamonn]

I'd rather a top-class RB than a striker, I think. Between Watkins, Diaby and Archer, I think we might be ok up there.

I wonder if he could do a job as a back up right back?

Yep, I agree.

He had his own thread for 5 minutes and then it all went very quiet. He was linked with a Saudi move for a while too but nothing seems to have come from that either. I wouldn't say no to him if the wages were reasonable enough.

[Drummond]

Davis linked with £4-7m move to Luton.....

[Sexual Ealing]

That'd be a good move. He's a local lad too, right?

Depending on the money being offered for Bailly I think I'd take all of those. I think Bailly is a better player than he gets credit for but we've replaced him with Diaby and can see another player coming in who competes for both that role and with Watkins so I'm not sure how involved Bailly will be. I'd also be willing to give Philogene a chance in the squad because he's a freebie in the european squad.
