Oh joy of joys.
We are starting to look like we mean business.
Still need a strong centre half to back up Mings and Konsa.
Konsa looking like a bargain. Strong on the deck and in the air.
Could we now get the elusive Benrahima in and get him paired with Watkins? Played together for a couple of years and know each others moves.
Obviously our new man Lange? is doing the work that our previous transfer guy failed to do.
Our owners are what we asked for.
They want what we want.
A successful team fighting for a place at the top table.

I can’t see Benrahma happening with Barkley coming Jack will play left and Traore right meaning no place for Benrahma I think we will sign either a centre back or centre forward although personally I think we desperately need a quality left back.

I think you're spot on with what our front three will be, but if I were a betting man I'd say one more forward will be coming in. It might sound greedy, but I think Smith would ideally like to have the option of rotating three genuine threats from the flanks. Trezeguet is a workhorse but if we're 1-0 down and chasing a game or we get an injury I'd think Smith would want to get a Rashica/ Sarr type player to have genuine competition and impact options. This condensed season is going to need rotation and depth. Liking how our business is coming along though!

Completely agree John. I don’t think we’ve seriously considered Benrahma as we seemed to be after versatile, pacey forwards who can play wide or central (Traore signed, and linked with Sarr, King, Rashica, Edouard) . For all the clamour for Benrahma and Buendia, they always felt more like back up options to Jack if he went. He did say before signing that contract it was 50-50. Deano also made it clear that he sees Jack playing from the left, and Barkley coming in cements that.

I think we’ll still be looking at a versatile defensive player - Nelsson makes a lot of sense, and another forward. But maybe it’ll be a loan signing up top. There are growing rumours, far-fetched as they may be, about Diego Costa. A loan for him would be sensational.
