Hoping the club sell Gnonto tomorrow.
If Everton offer 20-25 mill snatch their hands off.

Then it's a case of can we hold on to Sini?
If we can, and he's fit and committed to the cause
we'll have one of the best players in the division
until at least the January window.

Can we hold on to Meslier? Who looks back to his best.
If we can, we're solid at keeper.

I'd like to see us get a real left back.
Brandon Williams makes sense as he played for Farke.
If not him, Charlie Taylor would be good.
Is there someone else they're looking at or do they
think they're fine?

I like Glen Kamara. A lot. Be happy with him.
Wish we'd landed John Swift when he moved from
Reading. He's a good player. I think we'll see our
midfield added to through Prem loanees.

As for goal scorer, I'm not enthusiastic about
Josh Sargent. I hope it's not him. But, if it is and it's
who Farke wants specifically then ok. There's a ton
of options out there. 49ers just need to be ambitious.

Piroe and Joel Pohjanpalo keep being linked.

Who knows who it'll be. Good news is, it will be
someone. And I still think it'll be 5 to 6 new players.

I’ll put it out there now, I don’t think we’re doing much in these 2 weeks.

Not been impressed with the players linked so im hoping its none of these and we sign some random players not linked like we did when we signed Ampadu and Rodon

Probably this.

If we dont sign a striker this season will be a real struggle.

Kamara - Could have signed him 4 weeks ago since he's been allowed to leave, nobody else seemingly interested so what are we doing? Saving on wages?

Sargeant - Rather play Bamford or Geldhart.


Others linked Id like; Brownhill and Jake Cooper. Wanted these when last in championship. Brownhill is a very solid all rounder. Both are Leeds fans I believe.

Would like to sign; Broja, Rowe from Norwich (Gnonto replacement, scored 3/4 this season already)


One I could see us going for; Maupay. Farke could get a tune out of him. Been useless for a few seasons and the only player I can think of who misses as many sitters as Bamford, but was lethal at this level for Brighton and perhaps Farke could unlock his inner Pukki.

Brownhill would be a solid add.

Wouldn't be averse to O Brien coming in.

posted on 20/8/23

O Brien and Brownhill would be decent signings.

The 'Aggressive' transfer policy statement will be tested by 2nd September.

Kinnear alloded to 30 mill saved wages to be spent on players.

We must have 20/30 mill parachute payments

23m for Adams.

No excuses now.

posted on 20/8/23

Yep need to crack on now. No excuses 👍

posted on 20/8/23

Sign Brownhill today or tomorrow. Get it done.

posted on 20/8/23

With Adams gone then it wont be long before Gnonto, Sinisterra, Summerville and Costa will be back flying around the pitch at Elland Road (according to our great leader Angus).

Green beans all round to make the squad healthier

Good times are coming! No players needed

For me its whether or not we sign a decent striker that shows if frame truly being supported in this next 11 days.

posted on 20/8/23

The more players go the better our injury list is looking. Hjelde should be back next game. Down to a sick 7

Cooper
Firpo
Dallas
Summerville
Bamford
Joseph
Poveda

Maybe Angus can wheel out the we have an international striker to come back you know the one that is never fit

posted on 20/8/23

Where is "one of the most promising strikers in English football" that Angus said we had?

Duk at Aberdeen latest clickbait player.

The difficulty the club has is that it just isn't as simple as "go out and get them tomorrow". The links to Josh Brownhill, for instance, also highlight three Premier League clubs as being interested. To sign top end championship players (or even players suited for a bottom half Premier League side) you are almost certainly going to be competing with PL clubs.

Ampadu and Rodon were both players I could have seen ending up at those teams, so the club have done well to get them in. Brownhill, Piroe, O'Brien would all be very good signings, but there will be better placed clubs than us interested, so we need to convince them that we are likely to be imminently back in the PL.

You see the reaction to being linked with solid championship players like Sargent, or Sam Field, and people turning their noses up at them. These are deals we could get done much easier, because we will be at the top of the food chain for teams interested in them. It's harder to get deals done for the players people here want, because we aren't.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Avoid Spain, our record there is woeful of late. Casilla, Llorente, Firpo all flopped, Saiz had promise but couldn't hack it, Rodrigo was par for the course.

Norwich 3 nil up against Millwall and just missed a sitter for 4. That's another side better than us. We're playing catch up to these, Saints and Leicester right now.

Its 3 games in. League Table doesn't matter until November at the lates. QPR were second middle of last season and almost got relegated. Patience is needed.

posted on 20/8/23

A few id be happy with

Targett left back from Newcastle
Lascelles from Newcastle
Kamara from Rangers
Archer from Villa

Need another attacking midfielder/winger too

That's based on our current position not taking into account outgoings

posted on 20/8/23

Need a left-back, two CMs, a number 10, a striker and...now a winger given that Willy and Sini will now both likely leave.

Apparently we're looking to get Kamara in soon. So expect him to see him signing for Southampton shortly.
