st alex Posted 17 July, 2022 Share Posted 17 July, 2022 How many more signings do we think we can expect? I'd expect striker, but would also like another attacking midfielder or winger, full back (on loan), and centre back (Colwill?). Especially if Walcott and Bednarek move on. Would be nice to shift Djenepo on too, maybe Redmond as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally_uk Posted 17 July, 2022 Share Posted 17 July, 2022 Danny Ings and 20 million on new striker. Attacking midfielder creative player similar mould to Tadic. Another centre back personally I'd like to see somebody experienced and a leader. Anything else would be a bonus. Using the above swap out Ings for Delap on loan. But the other striker we need to invest properly. Broja aside who else fits the mould? And actually can score in the premier league? I can't think of anyone..... Anyways that's how I would end the window anything else is a bonus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without investment of decent players there is every chance will be out of the league We are in the PL surely we should be investing in a couple PL players not just youngsters who may develop into PL players or may not I am not sure who was the last player who came in as an experienced player and was an automatic selection and enhanced the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other way we can sign 'PL' experience is to get some older players at the end of their careers, like Ben Mee or Theo - but less said about that approach the better. Our only option is to sign younger players who we can then provide PL experience to, after which we can then ask for the premium when clubs come sniffing. That's our place, that's not going to change. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted 17 July, 2022 Share Posted 17 July, 2022 I think we’ll get another three in permanently plus one on loan. Delap permanent. Colwill on loan but within a week of the season starting. In terms of outgoings: Long has gone. No one will come in for McCarthy or Walcott - not on their wages. Djenepo will see out the last year of his contract on loan. Bednarek will leave but I think for less than rumoured, it’ll be around the £10m mark. KWP and JWP as previously said won’t be leaving.

Lee On Solent Saint Posted 17 July, 2022 Share Posted 17 July, 2022 Am not totally sold on Delap to be honest. Season on loan with an option to buy may be would be worth the gamble.

I don’t know a great deal about either of them, they look alright on the highlights reels from what I’ve seen. Delap is unproven, but we do have Adams and Armstrong who’ll both need to step up as well next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
