Yes there’s still a month left int transfer window BUT, we are still a weakened squad from that of last season in terms of depth.
So far we haven’t even replaced what’s left
Pablo, bera, casilla (replaced) alioski ( replaced)
This season will be harder than last with fans back and undoubtably those that finished around us or Everton arsenal and wolves will be better.
For me costa and Roberts are simply not good enough and we have to wait and see if Forshaw can remain fit and step up in quality needed.
Victor has got to get this next month right with the numbers and the quality of incomings.
Jury’s still out over Rodrigo and where he fits best.
We need another quality winger to add comp for Rapha and Jack ( poveda and Summerville ) as back up.
Attacking mid and Cdm still a must.

Read earlier that we are interested in Marco Asensio from Real Madrid! Can’t see that one myself but he’s got quality for the attacking mid.
Damsgaard / Cunha fit perfectly for additional winger/ attacking mid, but again I can’t see those happening.
Personally I think we need 3-4

If we lost say Kalvin, paddy or Rapha longer term next season to injury we are struggling so surely Radz, victor and Marcelo can see this need to add more quality and depth.
Yes I am genuinely worried, as I do feel this season is gunna be far harder and we are not an unknown entity for the prem to deal with.

Me, in terms of haven't replaced I think that's a stretch, Kiko played when Meslier was injured and we have a replacement, Berardi played out of niceness so doesn't need replacing, Alioski has been upgraded so only Pablo needs replacing and he didn't play much.
I still expect more to come in, just making sure the deal is right. Not ideal for preparation but it's a long season.
I've said it before but I think the end of the window will see the action as clubs get desperate to sell.

We need a couple more. Someone who can play CDM and CM - O’Brien would fit the bill for that - and another who can play LW and CAM - Noa Lang would be perfect for this, and can also play RW if needed.

I wasn’t that sold on O’Brien initially, but the idea is growing on me. He’s experienced and good enough to cover for Phillips if needed, but is unlikely to rock the boat by demanding to be a starter. He appears to have the stamina needed for Bielsaball and could improve significantly, and fairly quickly, under Bielsa. Whilst someone like Yangel Herrera or Jens Cajuste would each seem like a much more solid option, they would likely need to be played far more often as a starter, displacing Dallas/ Klich which could affect the current dynamics within the dressing room.

🇨🇦 and Clueless good replies. The player I really want to see come in is Koopmeiners. My remaining targets would be:
Nkolou
Galan
O'Brien
Koopmeiners

Think Lang would upset the dressing room. I believe Summertime is almost ready and can step up.

Would love to see Jimmy given an opportunity to influence a game, Costa and Poveda can have an impact but not consistently so why not try Summerville and see if he is up to it.

Apparently Bielsa was at the Owls v Terriers cup game today. O’Brien scared the clinching penalty in the shootout - an excellent top-corner finish which gave BPF no chance even though he guessed the right way.

George - I’d love to see Summerville given an opportunity to show what he can do on Wednesday (ahead of Costa) . He’s already played a full 90 minutes against Ajax, when playing in a fairly poor ADO Den Haag side two seasons ago, with 3 of 5 dribbles successful and 2 key passes. However, I still feel that we would benefit from additional quality at CAM if we seriously hope to push further up the table this season, and I’m not convinced Summerville could play in that position currently to the required standard. Likewise the other u23 options who could play there. Hence a LW/ CAM addition would be ideal, though I do share your concerns about Lang.

Not sure about N’Koulou, as we recruited 2 senior right footed senior CBS last summer, and Charlie Cresswell is apparently right-footed, though playing on the left for the u23s.

Koopmeiners would be an excellent addition, so long as he was happy warming the bench when appropriate.

I don’t think fans being back will make the slightest difference. It’s a very old adage that carries no weight. that said, I do agree that we look light, but Pabs and Berra hardly played last year, and as you say, we have replaced the other two. I’d like additions, but if we stay as we are, we will do just as well.
