I’d say it certain that we won’t make any signings other than maybe a few kids.
Don’t forget the wheels are off. They came off in the second arsenal defeat and I haven’t seen any attempt to put them back on.
A bad first couple of games or a couple of serious injuries will see us absolutely fall apart.
Around the time of Newcastle away Lage said that Chiquinho and Campbell were around the same level. I doubt that is still the thoughts of the club after the impressive way Chiquinho ended the season though. I expect Traore will leave so even though there are definitely more pressing issues a wide player coming in definitely wouldn't go amiss now.If we were going to be looking at a wideman it needed to be an upgrade on Podence anyway, so no real change, as gutting as it is for the lad. I don't think there was going to be too much between him and Campbell, one of them really needed a loan this season but presumably that'll be out of the question now which is a shame.
4 weeks until the season starts, we really do need to pull our fingers out though
I still think Adama will leave don't think he played yesterday and they'll probably want to recoup at least a bit of money for him.
They'll still get 10m or so for him easily.No one is going to pay for him, it just won't happen.
I guess we'll have to see the formation Lage had gone for before we can judge what we need.Yeah true. I ideally wanted one anyway as I don't particularly rate Podence, and Hwank isn't fit for purpose, but if money's tight that's got to be behind the improvements down the spine.
Could be that the second forward we get - I do think we need two - is on that's also comfortable playing off the left, like Broja. But realistically given the board have given up, we'll have to make do with choosing between Adama, Podence and Hwank. Not awful choices if midtable is the peak of expectation I suppose
I can't see it Deano, if somebody wanted him they'd have asked about him by now.They'll still get 10m or so for him easily.
We have a recruitment plan?Like you say, a good prospect and it's unfortunate, not on the same scale as losing Neves or Neto (again) though.
Every club has injuries. Definitely adds a little more urgency to the recruitment plan though.
They'll still get 10m or so for him easily.
That’s the one seyi fucked up apparentlyIf chiquinho is out I wonder if we're having a look at Kaly Sene via Grasshoppers
Edit. For some reason Grasshoppers didn't buy him....odd
