How many signings before the window “slams shut”

2 - CB & CM

Im thinking a Barry/Carvalho type, but quicker. I dont think any of our DMFs are good enough, they are all better ahead of someone who can get the ball back and push us forward. We also need someone with a little grit in them, to make professional fouls and so on when need be. I dont see Gana, Schneids, Davis or McCarthy able to do those things well enough.

But you have named 4 midfielders there not including besic which makes 5 and you want us to sign another. You may be right on that they are not good enough but they are not the priority. A box to box midfielder who can carry the ball forward is. Sort that out thenin January or next summer look at the defensive midfielders. We can't fix everything in this window

Got to be at least 3, two central defenders and a midfielder (striker would be ideal as well), if it means we have to trade some of our crap out let it be .

Can't see us getting a striker. We have Tosun and niasse and DCL there and at a pinch Walcott and even Ricky can play there to. Agree on the 2 central defenders but think it will be one.

ZERO

Why does the window have to SLAM shut. Why can't it just clasp shut? Just wondered. Back to your question we will get 2 in. A defender and a midfielder.

Sky decided that.

I want it to be 3, 2 CBs and a DMF, but I bet we only get one more in.

I think we need those as well. Hope we get them.

ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTTTTY

Richarlison and digne in.. how many more you expecting ( not hoping for)

Ill say 2 more

Sort that ******* avatar out.

I expect no more than two, unless they sign someone between now and TDD, but if left to the day itself then getting two in is a tall order on its own. More is possible of course, but I think you approach that day more with a sense of hope than expectation. It is the day above all other days when things go wrong on purpose.

Leaving it this late is very risky, I know its the same for other clubs but arguably we have a greater need. I hope they know what they are doing.

I hate deadline day, more often that not its extremely disappointing and a huge, Sky-fuelled, anti-climax.

Silva, if he is inclined to be open and honest, might give us an indication if he speaks after Valencia tomorrow.

I can’t wait for our boss player to be hijacked off our fully fuelled jet on a runway, deadline day, what a day.

Tuuuuuune !!!

 

[AsiaAsia82]

Easy 3 in, with 3 more permanent outs, plus 3 youngsters out on loan.

Brands goes into hibernation end of August so busying himself like a little squirrel in Autumn

 

[KaiserEFC]

We need two but I’m guessing it will be one

 

[blue61]

Two plus one loan.
