FOR ME “FIVE SIGNINGS”

Over all very Good Signings:


Striker Wilfred Kanga / We will have to wait and see?

To make the Top 2, I believe We need to finish off with a lethal Championship Striker.

But this current Squad is very capable of a Top 6 Finish




Chris Willock

Callum Chambers

Wilfred Kanga

Anwar El Ghazi

Alex Robertson

I don't think we can make top two.

I don't think even a striker coming in will get us to top two.

Top 6 has to be and will be the goal.

Very pleased with our business so far and more to come.

In my opinion, the squad is a lot stronger than last season and it seems we will play more attacking football. Top six is achievable.

I still don’t think it’s a top two squad though.


El Ghazi and Robertson could be two of the best players in the league, two quality signings. Very excited to see them both play.

Chambers has a lot of experience and is a great defender.

Kanga we don’t know yet, but has the right attributes.

Willock is very quick and has looked good in pre season. Knows the Championship.

Fans have to be patient, El Ghazi and Kanga need time to get up to speed.

Robertson is ready to go but unlikely to start Saturday as he only had his first training session today.


It’s big if, but if Ramsey stays fit then that will be massive for us.

Over to Erol Bulut to deliver now.


Very excited for it all to start on Saturday

Are there any Championship strikers available but a proven scorer in championship or above level league will help hopefully one can be found to help kanga produce goals required for top 2 finish? But agree top 6 is a realistic goal.

Mid table same as last year , some great players signed but let’s see what Bulut can do with them

I hope CR can keep his pre season form...who knows eh?

Danny ings is available experienced striker

Danny ings is available experienced striker

Also on stupid money and injury prone.

If Robinson carries on the way he has in pre season i am ok buy if not thats the one position could be our downfall again no prolific striker the newbie we do have is untried in the english league.

I believe this squad if managed correctly will definitely finish in the top 10.
Promotion automatically not for me,play offs if lucky a possibility

I still think we need a left back. Firstly because O’Dowda is so important on the left side of the midfield attacking and secondly if he is used constantly at full back without rest until Collins returns he could well break down. Fingers crossed he wont

Need a few more to be challenging for top two

We still need a new left back as Collins is injured and a new right back to cover/compete with NG. I still think we need another good centre back too, so we have 4 centre backs fighting for 2 positions, plus another good holding midfielder to help Siopsis.

I think our keepers, wingers and creative midfielders are fine now. Robinson should start up front after his pre season and hopefully, Kanga can make an impact, although I would prefer a proven striker at this level.

Currently, I think we will play better football, but I still think we will concede a lot of goals, so anything above mid table will be a success with our current squad. Hopefully, we can bring 3 or 4 more in to try and push for the playoffs.

For me, we need a LB, CB and proven striker for us to be challenging the top 6

I'm very happy with our signings this window though

Who would this mythical proven striker be? Our record with strikers hasn't been the best for a few years, we usually find a way to not get them scoring.

What about Romeo?

Happy with the players we have got in - still time to add as the manager has said ...

At first, I was going to reply that there are more than enough proven strikers out there that we can look at but it's all about how much money the club are willing to part with/how ambitious they want to be etc

BUT

Youre right, upon looking at the players I think we would REALISTICALLY go for, there doesn't seem to be a lot of options.

Wissam Ben Yedder - Free agent - 33 years old - International for France -Ex clubs Toulouse, Seville & Monaco etc

Emil Riis - Last year of contract - 26 years old - Denmark youth player - Current club Preston

Lawrence Shankland - We all know about him

Ivan Sergeyev - Last year of contract - 29 - Russian international - Current club Zenit - Very decent scoring record

Anyway, if we get a proven striker or not I'll still be there backing the club 100%
