gurujuan Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Something I find slightly surprising, we keep dismissing McGugan, as if he's surplus to requirements, and yet Carlos didn't include him in the players who are available for transfer. It's right, he wasn't a favoured starter under Carlos, but all the while he remains, he is at least an option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReluctantNicko Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Chansiri said Premier League by 2017 (ie promotion this coming season)...squad as it stands will finish about 8th or 9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvin Parsnip Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Just think PA sorted us some good deals and the new bloke will be rubbish and we will end up with a pile of garbage and back in L1 - I need to get a grip it's the last 15 years what's done it ..., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvin Parsnip Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 We are crying out for a winger unless he's going to play Bannan on the wing like most of the first halves of a match last season then change it when he realises for the 10th time it doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike84 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 The next signing will give us a good idea of where we are in the transfer market. I think that Chansiri knows how much it's going to cost for a said that will challenge the for promotion. The question is If he's willing to put that much in. Last year was a free shot at promotion, Carlos and the players nearly did the unthinkable. Neither he or Chansiri will want or expect anything less than top 6.

TheEnchanter Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 This time last season we hadn't signed Joao, Bannan, Hooper, Forestieri or Pudil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job it's not the end of the transfer window for a while yet then, eh? The squad we started last season with would most likely not have had a sniff of the playoffs, what with Forestieri, Pudil, Bannan and Hooper not joining until later on. We're starting from a much stronger position this time around, and if we need to bide our time in order to secure the players we really want, then I'm confident our current squad can hold their own while we wait. We started Atdhe Nuhiu a fair bit last year, and we've just signed Steven Fletcher as an upgrade - the difference that alone could make to our points tally is huge. The only glaring weaknesses as things stand are at left back and centre back, and I'm sure these will be addressed with more of a sense of urgency than other areas. Of the teams left in the Championship, only Brighton were stronger than us during the second half of last season, so even if we assume that Newcastle, Villa and Norwich will occupy three of the top six places (which isn't a given), we're still well-placed to compete for the top six again.

gurujuan Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Think we can sort out a reasonable deal for Pudil, then splash out on a dominant centre back, and we'd be ready to go. Add two or three loans before the window shuts, a cover left back, another midfielder and a quick winger, and that's 7 signings, and a competitive squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
