If that falls through, probably overpay for Hutchinson.- Sign a right-back at some point, no idea who. Probably Justin if it's someone "experienced".- Sign a midfielder at some point, no idea who.- Let Chermiti leave and sign an experineced striker at some point, no idea who.I think we're going to have to make peace with battling and scrounging any points we can in these first three games, especially with Branthwaite out, Grealish underdone and the defence likely to be a bit of a shambles (Keane at CB, Garner at RB or the awful back three they played in preseason). If we can take 3-4 points from Leeds, Brighton and Wolves that won't be a disaster considering.But it's a shame to be in that position, with the entire right side still not addressed. Again, this is a problem that has needed fixing for years. We've needed a proper winger for the right since Richarlison left and a proper right back since Coleman broke his leg. And we're about to start another season without either of those addressed, leaving the team unbalanced and exposed as soon as we suffer one injury.It's not terminal, I trust they'll sort it out over the next 17 days and we'll still be fine (maybe even good) this season. But it is far from ideal, and we've just got to hope a potentially shaky start doesn't turn into a full-blown malaise like last season.</blockquote>
