Summer transfer window.

Also, I hope we either have or sign a development CB or two in prep for when Keggers and captain Tarks finally depart.

…Jake O’Brien?

…Jake O’Brien?

Does he count as development?

Was hoping he might be first choice next season..

After last night I have changed my mind about priorities for the summer. We really need a new CB who can actually run. That second City goal was embarassing.

I think we need (in order of priority):

Starting RB
Starting LB
Starting CF
Starting RW
Quick CB
Ball winning CM
Reserve RB

Probably some others but I doubt we sign 7 players let alone any more.

Genuinely think Moyes sees RB as his best position.

He's 25 next week!

2 New RBs, starting LB, a disciplined 6 would be a start, and then look at maybe RW with pace and another auxillary attacker than can play across the front line and then another left footed centre half if JBs injuries persist

A striker FFS

No-one could watch him getting turned inside out for 97 minutes last night and still think that, surely?

That virtually the entire defence ended on a yellow (honourable mention to Myko) tells a tale.

2 strikers is the top priority

Then 2 fullbacks

I agree but the way Moyes talks about him, his reluctance to sign a RB last summer and his insistence on playing him out there when we're down to bare bones in defence makes me think he really does see him as a RB. Furthermore, when he talks about fullbacks all he seems to bang on about is height and physicality and those are two characteristics that JOB has in spades.

I'd be utterly staggered if we signed two strikers this summer. I suppose if one of them was a Callum Wilson style freebie then maybe, but Moyes only ever plays one striker, I can't see us selling both Barry and Beto, and I doubt we have the cash to pay the fees and wages of three senior CFs. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[riddick]

And now he’s had a season where he’s picked up a bad injury and looked bang average at best since he returned. It would be utter madness to splash out a big wedge of our budget on him.

By GAWD, THAT'S DAVEY MOYES' MUSIC!

 

[TrixyStevens]

Starting full backs on either side
2 strikers
A centre half who can track a run
Starting right winger

But not at right back please. He has been awful last few games and will not improve there.

Where have you plucked some of those sell valuations from!?

Based on what I believe they're worth, clearly.

Alcaraz bought for £10m isn't going to have risen in value.

Beto bought at £25m will have severely dropped in value.

McNeil subject of a £15m move to Palace will have dropped in value.

All pretty obvious and likely near enough to what they values would be.
