Guys let's see where we end up at the end of this window before we get too excited .
In Jan and at the end of the season, I and many would have said we need the following to really improve our chances of autos next year -

- A seasoned CB to complement LC and Pontus . The jury must be out on White . Young with potential he may be but no champ experience . So with the number of games LC and Pontus miss we will be relying on him to come good . Bit of a gamble .

- Replacememt for KC as our number one . Some on here arguing he will come good .
I question that . The guys in his early 30's and if he has n't learnt that he can't come charging out of his area now, he never will .

- Flying winger aka DJ . If we get Costa and he returns to form, then this box is firmly ticked .

- Replacement for Saiz at 10 . Some one who can pick up the ball in the centre circle and run at pace at defenders generally causing may hem and threading a killer pass . Don't see us linked with anyone remotely like that and don't think anyone from Roberts, Pablo and Bogusz could do that consistently for us . Luke Freeman not the answer .

- Striker . Still think we need a really potent champ striker who playing in the lone striker role can be bet on to get 25 to 30 goals . Don't think Roofe if he stays can do that ( for a start he misses a lot of games through injury ) and Bamford just to light weight for me even though think a full pre season and hopefully injury free will improve his output . I just think we need some one we can rely on to finish the one or two chances they will get in a really tight game . Like Abraham, Gayle and Sharp did last year .

So whilst if we get JC back ( although there are pros and cons to a loan back ) , plus Harrison, White and Costa there is some progress, we have basically only improved on last season's first team with Costa .

Still think we need a new number one, 9 and 10 to be sitting pretty . Regrettably I don't think we will get them all .

Spot on RHC 👍.
I do think Casilla may be ok tho.

Although we do need a quality striker, one that is a sure thing to score 25 to 30 goals comes at a high premium. Probably beyond our finances.

Roberts for number 10 role. Caicedo to help striking options.

Notts I think we paid £3 mill approx for Chris Wood who scored 30 odd goals for us. They are out there somewhere!
Or we could get a loan player?

Said more or less the same Redhot but not in so many words.

Villa borrowed Abraham and Brom Gayle .

RHc, as I get older, I always prefer t have my excitement today rather than wait, just in case!

A seasoned CB, sounds like something you’d get from KFC, I just want a good ball playing one, so to speak!

Saiz, hasn’t gone anywhere yet, so Bielsa doesn’t need to replace him if he thinks he’s good enough or consistent enough or indeed slim enough, but he isn’t! It’s a gamble but Roberts shows potential and needs to play to show it and learn.

Striker is an interesting one, for me Roofe is good enough in the system if he stays fit, Bamford needs to come out of preseason firing, interested to see how we use Edmundson and Kun!

Definitely enough cause for some light excitement!

Maybe PSG willing to loan to their baby brother. How about Chuopo Moteng or Jese ( would prefer Mbappe and Cavani) .

I take your point Phil but RHC stated a sure thing to score 25 to 30 goals a season, Wood did not come into that category as he had not done it before. Norwich got Puki on a free but no-one would have said that he was a sure thing to score 25+ goals, especially not Celtic fans. As I said, a high premium for a striker that has previously shown that form i. e. Gayle.

Yep I see your point Notts 👍.
