Summer 2024 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[cdbearsfan]

Do we really need another midfielder?

No. We need a winger and a centre half/right back. Plus a striker if Durán leaves.

[cdbearsfan]

We've sold Diaby. We need a winger. Madueke would be great.

Wouldnt signing another winger just hold Jaden's progress back?

Agree. Illing Jnr can also play wing.

I think we have to make good with what we have in that position. And let’s be honest that’s not a bad bunch.

Not interested in "make do" players as wingers. That's a position where all the top clubs have amazing sexy party times players.

Do we really need another midfielder?

No it’s nonsense, we have bigger priorities.

I would take another midfielder particularly a experienced one like Lo Celso or Gundgohan just the sort needed for Champions League.

Milner 23 seasons in the Premier League he's no party time player. That's what players should strive to be as professional as the can and last for so long. He's a credit to the profession.

Berkeley Onana SJM Kamara Tielemans Barrenchea says we don’t.

[cdbearsfan]

Yeah, central midfield is second only to left back in positions where we don't need to sign anyone.

Joao Felix has joined Chelsea on a 6 year deal.

[cdbearsfan]

Good. Now go get Madueke.

[paul_e]

I think we're fine for wide players, Rogers, Bailey, JJ, Iling, Buendia and Philogene is plenty of cover there. My slight concern is that only really Rogers looks to have the skillset, strength and dynamism to play 10 out of those.

You can never have too many .

PSR says hello

[Smithy]

Not gonna lie, I'm a bit disappointed if we've missed out on Felix. Thought he could be the difference in games against the top sides.  I still think we've got a great squad, but he'd have made a great 10 for us.  Still, onwards and upwards!

Ill be honest i have reservations about those two tbh. I think JPB has potential but a big ask for him esp in CL.

I do think we could do with anothee player there

[PeterWithe]

Didn’t Monchi state we had to sell Diaby to comply with UEFAs 80% wages-turnover rule? So in that case can we sign anyone without others going out? It’s suggests not.

[cdbearsfan]

Surely if we sell a player for sixty odd million or whatever it was we got for Diaby, we can afford to spend about a third of that on Madueke? Especially if have spare funds to throw at Lo Celso in a position where we don't need any more players.
