It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Does everyone think Doku will complete our summer business then?

In all probability mate.

Although it seems we’ve briefed this afternoon that we’re still actively in the market for a midfielder following KDB’s injury, I just can’t see us being able to turn around a deal for the right player this late in the window - so I’d say we’re probably done for the summer.

Just hope we don't sell several squad players before the window shuts, still doubts over Palmer, Perrone, Phillip's, and Mcatee's futures though.

There is a feed on newsnow Perrone has gone on loan, McAtee will almost certainly go on loan, and Phillips is not saying he is staying, more than likely because he does not know. Which leaves no back up to Rodri again, time to get Thuram in.
 
Frankly I'm happy with Cova, Gvardial and Doku signings, Doku looks great.....but still feel a tad disappointed that non of our home grown lads are seen good enough to step up fully, only Phil.

Rico, Cole etc all still on the fringes. Squad players who are not seen as the answer.

I don't think it'd be a disaster if we don't get another (opportunities for Phillips, Palmer, McAtee, Lewis, Gomez, Bobb, etc).

But if we get 1 more I'm mystified as to what type it should be ...e g.....
1. a goal-scoring Gundogan replacement (like Eze),
2. a future KDB (like Wirtz) or
3. a "Rodri reliever" (like Phillips/Rice were hoped to be)

Thankfully the window will soon be shut. :-)

Think the answer is self evident.. they have to displace the other players by doing it in training and when they get a chance.

Only Foden truly displaced Sterling in the second half of 20-21 on the CL final run.

Last season Cancelo was clearly displaced by Rico!

Palmer never really displaced Mahrez,
Perrone, McAtee still to even start their journey.

But the answer will always be, you have to earn it.

And if a kid becomes a starter.. the starter will have to move on as Sterling and Cancelo did.
