With all the defensive options we have now I can actually see us going to 3 at the back with wingbacks. I think this window has been great in terms of giving us options and strength in depth. I'm slightly concerned we didn't get another striker but we should now have a midfield capable of scoring goals, width to help gestede and Sinclair in a rich vein of form so maybe not all bad

Really good to see two decent CBs
Illori is a loan with a view to a 9m move next yr
01 Sep 2015 20:17:23
Anyone else think it's a big mistake not signing a striker
01 Sep 2015 20:48:25
Totally agree. Austin sitting waiting for the call that never came.
It seems that Sherwood was allowed to spend the money in from transfers some £46.5m and then Lerners usual pocket money on top.
01 Sep 2015 20:50:43
Absolutely
Austin should have been bought
He is proven
Or if they wanted a gamble embolo could of bed the next benteke
I'm gutted

Hernandez for 7 million was real opportunity missed

gotta admit mendax your right there, him and januzui i think are a big missed chance,

I know some will jump up and say "old news" but if Lerner will not open his purse we will always be lacking the ambition of a top 6club. What we want is of no concern to Lerner.
Sherwood got the transfer money self funded from sales plus the amount that PL got every season, £5m,
.
That is not the action of an ambitious owner.
Sherwood has bought in a lot of players and will no doubt get some success. The defence will be much stronger with Richards in there, Lescott, Ilori, Okore and Clark able to do a job when required. Hutton, Mvani, Cresspo, Bacuna all add to what looks like a capable unit.
If only Sherwod could have got a poacher I believe we could have been really looking towards the top third in the prem.

I'm thinking that's about our strongest match day squad if everyone fit what are your thoughts guys?
Really wish we could av added a new keeper yedlin Townsend embolo Gayle and Austin
I'm a little worried TBH
I'm not being negative I'm being honest
01 Sep 2015 22:05:58
What about Traore? I'd play Sinclair in a more central role, so maybe a 4-4-2??
02 Sep 2015 11:43:24
I still have concerns about Sanchez. Yes, he is good at breaking up play ad winning the ball but he isn't the best at using it once he has won it. Sometimes, his passing is awful and he gives the ball away in dangerous positions.
Admittedly, these were my observation from last year. I haven't seen him as yet this year having been away on holiday.
I am hoping that maybe the new guy from Liverpool could develop into a defensive midfielder. Reports suggest that he is a ball-winning centre back so should be able to adapt. Thoughts?
02 Sep 2015 11:51:40
Meant to say ball-playing centre back

No Traore ?
01 Sep 2015 18:32:35
Still think we needed a striker sherwood obviously couldn't get one through, however berbatov could still happen as he is a free agent
01 Sep 2015 17:45:22
It just shows how pi in the sky a lot of these players, we are supposed to be buying are .Whe Man U just paid £35m for Anthony Martial, who we where linked with .
01 Sep 2015 17:11:05
Still no takers for Austin with 50 mins to go. We could do with someone staking out Bodymoor just in case anything interesting turns up at the last minute .
01 Sep 2015 15:51:07
And while a lot of people have said we should sign a right back, and I suggested Yedlin once he was made available for loan, it looks like he's off to Sunderland on loan.
01 Sep 2015 16:47:24
Missed out if its true, right sided Amavi in my opinion, & makes Sunderland a stronger team
01 Sep 2015 12:12:02
Jolson lescott passed his medical deal expected to be completed within the hour
01 Sep 2015 11:42:37
TS on Gabby (Birmingham Mail) "He has a huge part to play because we bought a lot of new boys into the club and even if he doesn't give us that on the pitch, the likes of him and Ciaran Clark and Westwood have a crucial part role to play in that dressing room this year."
Sounds like a trio of very expensive tea-boys to me .
01 Sep 2015 12:47:03
I hope the players read this site, some posts must be such a motivation for them to give us their all.
01 Sep 2015 08:53:57
If we sell Sanchez for another midfielder can we please get a dead-ball specialist, Westwood/Bacuna don't cut it for me.
01 Sep 2015 11:05:55
Gary Gardner takes a wicked free kick, Sanchez should not be sold Sell Westwood/Bacuna imo
01 Sep 2015 07:53:47
Please no no no no not berbatov sky are same in he has just jetted into the Midlands
