    Transfer window

    Posted by Cigar Chap on 23/12/2023, 19:11:35

    Full backs, possibly one for each side.

    Sell Giles to Boro, he is still very unconvincing and Osho saved him twice late in the game, we need better there as cover for Alfie.

    I would also replace Kabore, harsh but Alfie is better there than Kabore and it’s not even his natural side. (Alfie is a £25m player now imho).

    Obviously we need another striker and extra cover at centre back as Bell and Burke are both injury risks.

    But with even those minor changes I genuinely think we have a better than average chance of staying up.

    I said back in August that we needed someone like Andros, today he again showed what real Premier League quality is.

    Whoever we bring in this time needs to be already PL experienced.

    Certainly in our hands and that is all we hoped for.

      Give it a rest kid.

      Giles and Kabore may not be as good as Alfie, but that's very high bar at the moment. Both did fine today.

      Saying Bell is an injury risk makes you sound stupid. Check his Luton record since he joined. The guy has been bullet proof.

      We need a CB and an upgrade on Woodrow would be nice. But in RE and MH we trust.

        There's no way Alfie is better than Kabore on the right side. In a million years. He'll do a job but is no where as near effective.

        You want more full backs, then loan out the players who'll never get a serious game now. Berry, Potts, Woodrow to make room for them.

        Personally I'd look an experienced forward. Ideally with pace. Yes, I know......no chance.

          Not now, no.

          I had my doubts about Issa, early on, but he's come on with everyone else.

          I wouldn't be chopping and changing too much given our momentum but if Chong can't get a game then Berry must be thinking about playing time. Clark to a lesser extent but still. Potts, Woodrow likewise. That's without considering bids for those who are already out on loan. There's the potential for movement but if we could bring in a first choice anywhere, where would that be and what risk to what we've done so far would there be?

          Cheers, Jim

            Got to be impact players.

            I feel sorry for Morris a little. He just isn't an impact player. I'm not knocking him, but with the game situation we are often in, I'd rather Ogbene or Chong with their pace up front.

          Callum Chambers?

          Could be a solid replacement for Lockyer. Knows the league, knows Nakamba, and could complete the "premier trio" along with Townsend and Barkley to give us that spine.

          Apparently he's excess to Villa's requirements right now.

              I’d get cover for Kabore but certainly not relate him. Kabore lately has been very good. Moving Doughty to the right is a complete waste of his talent as unfortunately he has very little right foot, and can’t cross with it. His crosses with his left are exceptional.

              Giles is a work In progress it seems.

              Keeping Townsend beyond January is a must.

                We don’t have time for a work in progress, especially as he is our record signing.

                    IMHO trying to stay up is worth a greater ‘gamble’ now.

                    We have led against the best teams in the league in the last two months. Players who we approach will have a very different opinion of us than they did in August.

                    We haven’t let ourselves down or been stuffed.

                    With the exception of Alfie none of the other full/wing backs have impressed.

                    I just think that if we can find a better one or two it will be the difference to keep us up.

                    Staying up is worth so much I just can’t see how we can risk it with players who aren’t quite good enough.

                      You seem to have forgotten Ogbene. Gets up and down the pitch like his life depends upon it.

                        Ogbene is a winger and that is where he should play.

                        Wonderful player who plays International football as a forward.

                        Why play him out of position?

                        Non of the other full backs have impressed? Aren't you the same bloke that swore some Watford reject on loan at Bradford was our saviour?🤣🤣

                          And that has what to do with discussing full backs in the Premier League?

                          Simply put I think we need one or more better full backs.

                          Not sure you need to have all your coaching badges to agree with that observation.

                            Mate we are staying up anyway, the squad we have is starting to really gel. we now need to start expressing ourselves like we did today in the away games. Kabore is doing well on the right. if anything we need a fox in the box.

                              Apparently the thing that you can't see is that we've got better every game and still have more than half a season to continue to do so.

                              We won't 'gamble' anything beyond what we could afford should we not stay up. Learn to be OK with that.

                                I can see that, yes you are absolutely correct.

                                But I see a weakness there, other players are having to bail us out and even today some poor clearances near the end could have cost.

                                Imagine where we would be if we had two Alfie’s.

                                How many full backs are actually better than Alfie?

                                    Not as much as you think if we are smart, like we usually are.

                                    Giles just isn’t our usual type of signing and perhaps that is why he hasn’t settled.

                                    Some players don’t settle, it happens.

                                      To be fair, he's not had six months.

                                      The bloke who must be our fifth choice CH, promoted by Locks' absence, came on today. That's counting an unfit Burke ahead of him and only having Potts to turn to if Bell's out for Tuesday. That's got to be more of a concern.
