How many signings?

Sun Aug 18, 2013 8:22 pm

How many new players do you think we need and do you think malky realises we need more than he expected now after yesterday's game.
I would like a left back,winger,defensive midfielder and another striker signed so that makes it another 4.
Taylor will struggle at this level and get skinned too slow and cost us lots of goals I feel so hope we get a left back in

2 or 3

3 more IMO.
- Experienced, proven goal scorer.
- Pacey, direct winger who loves to attack.
- A quality left back to compete with Taylor.

Full back.
2 wingers
Another def mid(Bridcutt)
Goal scorer

So that's 5 by my count. :thumbup:

After yesterday it seems obvious to me that we need a creative playmaker in midfield more than we need a winger. We need better than Whittingham and Kim. A winger would be nice aswell though...

I'm expecting 2 but believe we need 4/5

No we don't. Kim wasn't played in his best position yesterday (he was played more as a winger). So we desperately need someone direct to run at defenders and get a cross in.

We've got wingers, but Malky didnt pick any yesterday. When he doesn't pick wingers, we need more creativity in the middle.

Hmm but it's clear he can see we need better quality wingers. I.e. when he went for Tom Ince (and now allegedly Montero)

Winger is a must and I think a full back is very much needed. Would love to see a proven goalscorer here along with a creative midfielder but I wouldn't say they were essential.

Left Back, Left sided central midfielder who can distribute the ball, attacking midfielder (playmaker), Left winger, Proven goalscorer/striker at the top level. I make that 5 players. So 3 permanent and 2 loan signings job done. I'm pretty sure Malky will be well aware what he needs to compete, the sooner we sign them the better.

striker and a winger, and as long as they are good enough we will be ok, Someone like Ince for example, if he had signed for us, would have given us a much needed outlet on saturday that we just didnt have.

3 preferably 4 IMO

1/2 wingers
