Summer Transfer Window

[FurtiveFox]

Best of luck to Kelman. Hopefully he can kick on and do well.

Great deal for us. Player in last year of contract and wanted to leave. One very good loan and we get reported £3.5m possibly going up to £5m. Also read somewhere 20% sell on. Replacement signed for around £1m. Exactly the kind of business we need to be doing.

Not convinced Kelman would have thrived here. Despite all the creative players on paper we have consistently struggled to create decent chances for strikers. Plus we play with one striker so he would have been competing with several others for one regular spot.

Generally intrigued by the comings and goings. Absolutely unsure if we have had a good window or a poor one.
We are a big minus (Edwards) and a slightly lesser minus Saito. And we still do not appear to have guaranteed aggression in midfield.
I fear that we may be going into the season with fingers crossed. I guess things may still happen but I am rather worried as it stands.

I would rate Poku over Saito.

Does this mean that we are no longer looking at Tomothe Nkada?

I think that was poo-poo-ed in some quarters last week? But, until its official..........

Perhaps we're after both if Lloyd goes out on loan, Celar moves back to Europe and Koli reverts to a No 10.....?????

In Noury's recent interview he clearly said our mid-table ranking on injuries was in part due to a lack of player rotation. Perhaps we're trying to get better squad depth.

Burrel might be a slow burn until he adjusts to the xhampionship, and might be more for 26/27 when Frey's contract will be up and he leaves??

"QPR and Watford are both in the market for more signings this summer, and it is said both sides are considering moves for Cyrus Christie. The 32-year-old defender is available as a free agent after leaving Swansea City. The 30-time Republic of Ireland international can play as a right-back or centre-back"

We need a left back not a right one. Dunne and Adamson with mbengue as cover should be okay.
our left back situation is more concerning. 1 week til season starts and it looks like Larkeche is our no 1. Not sure hes an upgrade on paal..if anything hes worse.

He could play Dunne CB and rotate Christie with Adamson.......but his age isn't what Nourry is after unless he's cheap?

Completely agree must be a left back on the radar. They wouldn't go into the season without options so I'm expecting a left back and maybe a couple of last min loans.

I have never been much of a fan of Dunne at RB. I feel he only ended up there cos we had nobody else.

Dunne brings a lot to the team with his physical presence in the areas and weighs in with goals too. BUT... he can do this from any position - he doesn't need to play as a RB to do it.

Looking at him purely as a RB he's too slow and ungainly. I'd rather see someone smaller, nippier and more agile at RB.

So, I reckon we DO need a specialist RB slash WB.

[Dono77]

Christie a couple of years ago may have been a good shout but he couldn't get a game at Swansea last year. Is he good enough for this level now?

Woukd love us to sign a proper right back although I think dunne will be first choice and he's better there than he was as a centre back.

If Eze gets sold, I wonder if Palace would try and grab Koli as a "cheap one for the future".......?

Could this be the real reason why he hasn't featured in the pre-season friendlies?

Dunne at right back creates mismatches on the field.
Gives us better height for both attacking and defending corners, makes crossing coming from our left mess dangerous at the back post, and he's decent at that spot with the strength to keep attackers at bay and decent enough feet to be useful growing forward.

Overall it's one of the smartest, even if not intentional, Marti did in his entire run as our manager.

Sadly, I don’t think Koli will ever lace up Eze boots.
