8 homegrown 16 non- homegrown + Andy Irving (homegrown)? So will need some outs/loans This is ok, room for 1 more non-homegrown without anyone leaving. Seems like we are only interested in a forward. I say, keep squad as it, try to bring in one more forward and we are ok for now. Allows potential m...

Looks good. Competition/cover for any of the midfield 3. I don't believe there is any truth in this one, however I would think this position is crucial, even more so than full back or CF. We can improve in both full back positions for Coufal/Kehrer/Johnson and Emerson/Cresswell is also fine for thi...

Are we really after a striker? I can see Moyes being happy with Antonio and then Bowen and/or Kudus can also play there. Ings, if he stays provides another type of option and it allow Mubama an opportunity who Moyes seems to rate. If we re looking for another attacking player, then I don’t necessari...

Both tended to be used in a pair at Leicester as well didn't they?

Don't really rate Iheanacho and don't think Daka would improve us in any way either.

As this point, it's been a decent summer of transfers (in the end). I would only see us requiring 2 players in a CF and a defensive CM. For the role occupied by Alvarez which is crucial to how Moyes wants to play, we've no real competition or replacement and CF, we've needed one for a while. for ful...

Seems like Moyes cannot find a striker he wants in the current market, either not available or too expensive and ones available for the right price are not what Moyes wants. Vlasic and Lingard could both have some legs as it frees up Bowen to be second striker for now if necessary. I would say Jan o...

How many players do we need to sign before the window closes? Left Back, Centre Back, Central Midfielder, 2 Strikers and Maybe another wide attacker? That's what I was hoping for this window, can't see half that many signing as things stand 🤷‍♂️ It's priorities, 1 centre back, 1 striker and then Li...

Who cares if Milenkovic goes to Spurs or Wolves. If he was that good, he'd have been snapped us elsewhere earlier if the price was under 20m. Not like it's been secret under the radar signing that surprises anyone. Loads of clubs could have some in over the last two weeks to get in but didn't. We st...

I’m guessing, we might be looking at this Ben Davies (who I never heard off until this morning) and Ryan Manning as two signings to add to the squad with first team experience but also young enough to step up and improve. Cover two positions currently in need of bodies and allow extra cash elsewhere...

Surprised we are not in for Ryan Fraser on a free (no transfer free but we have let go 5 players so I'd expect enough available to come up with a package). Seems like a young replacement for the left with Diangana going and the possible prospect that Anderson and/or Lanzini could still leave before ...

Still not panic stations for me, disappointing about the lack of funds but no much I can do about it. Squad is ok.m with a few touch ups needed, CD and LB in particular. I’d still expect us to do something there before the window shuts but maybe not before the season starts. And for me, Bowen, Yarmo...

Think we need to play Yarmolenko in the number 10 role, has the quality and experience to play that role and can score. Anderson and Lanzini drift in and out too much

Don’t disagree with that, it’s a big season for the three of them. Problem was that last season, Pellegrini went in with an imbalanced squad. Too many so called fancy players so when the going got tough they couldn’t handle it. Add to the fact that Some players take longer than other to adjust to th...

I think there’s an over reaction, why sell Anderson, Lanzini, Haller. These are three very good players, give Moyes the pre-season now, fresh slate to work with these guys. All players are in their prime. We need to prioritise then on full-backs, another centre half and a couple of strikers. I’d pre...

We’re getting carried away with the Championship. Can’t see us selling some big names and replacing hem with all championship players. If there is someone available that fits a position we need, then I can see us looking in that direction I.e Bowen but Moyes is talking about young players, don’t thi...

With Ajeti signed, it’s well possible that Hernandez will leave but it doesn’t have to be today as the European window lasts to the end of the month. That could leave Hernandez not named in the 25 and one place left in the squad for a foreigner. Just a thought. Husillos makes a point today about Aje...

Looks like we are done, would have been nice to get another midfielder in but we've no space for another foreigner unless we leave someone out which I would not expect we’d do at this late stage. Can’t see any home grown midfielders we’re interested in or could afford. I’d say we sit back now and se...

If Cardoso signs he’s regarded as u21 like Rice and Johnson so they don’t count for the squad of 25. If we also sign Ajeti, at 22 he’s a foreign signing so would take on the last space in the squad. If we are to get one more in after that, someone will have to give unless it’s a u21 signing. I menti...

To be honest, we’re probably only missing three younger players close to the first team at CB, CM and CF. At the moment, we’ve no young central defender pushing close, Coventry in CM is maybe not quite there yet but is probably closest and Silva’s sickness pushed him back maybe a season. Would be ni...

I've seen pezza on here say there's no chance that we're signing a CB, but that we're waiting for things to fall into line for a defensive CM. He seems to get more right than wrong, so I'm trusting what he says :thup: Can’t see anything happening to be honest. Think we’re done. We’ll wait for somet...
