Marcelo has said that he will only sign players if he feels they will improve the squad. We won 3-1 today, I personally feel it may be a double edged sword. What if he turns round n says "we don't need no one we beat Bristol city 3-1" in argentine of course. Bristol looked poor to me, mid table. We need another striker really now roofes going, and any injuries to CB's will dislodge Philips best position for the sake of covering in defence. Casilla was all over the place, but defence played out well from the back at times. We've got 3-5 players of 15+ goal capability. I'm positive.

Just for those who are interested, the language spoken in Argentina is Spanish (although not exactly like the European Spanish) .

I agree Bristol weren't particularly impressive but they did cause us issues at the back despite a string debut from White. Casilla still an absolute liability and will cost us games I fear. I would be happier with an additional, physical CB who we could use in certain games and backup.

Was very impressed by Forshaw. he could have a massive part to play this year and his passing looked excellent.

We have that big cb your wanting. Struick.

Dont see the point in spending good money on a big guy who will play 10 games a season, if we have a youngster that we can help to improve. Slowly slowly he takes over from Cooper.

If we had got promotion I would have said both Jansson and Cooper would have needed replacing (Roofe too) .
If we get promotion this year I would still say the Premiership is a step too far for Cooper so we will still need a couple of new centre backs.

No point in spending good money on guys who will only be good enough for a Championship push this season, and expensive reserves next season.

We have a great record against Bristol, so feet firmly on the ground lads.

Nice one axe, absolutely no point buying "good championship players" unless we give them a one year contract of course 😁.
