Current priorities are a CB and CMF/DMF I wonder who would we bring in if we failed in bringing McKenna and now that we've missed on Chirivella according to reports. Is it crazy to go for Romain Saiss on loan from Wolves? Maybe they'd want to upgrade and we can swoop in? who knows at this point. [Post edited 30 Jul 2018 20:39]

It still seems there is so much fat that needs to be cut to properly re-build the squad. Players like Dyer, Routledge & Grimes. Also, what's going to happen with players like Jordan Ayew and Fernandez? Hopefully, they can get some of these guys off the books to strengthen the defense. Positions like DMF, 2x CB, LB & maybe a GK. | | | |

James McCarthy fit? His injury record is abysmal. We don't have the luxury of signing expensive players on PL wages only to be injured most of the season..you saw how Bony turned out. | |

Like I said, a fit James McCarthy would be great for us, but he’s not. Plus, his injury problems have only started since Martin O’Neill kept playing him half fit which messed his hamstring problem up. The lay off with the leg would have helped clear that up. If he’s fit, and he’s within our budget, then I’d have him here in a heartbeat. But I very much doubt he will be, as I said in my first post. [Post edited 31 Jul 2018 6:11]

Football is as it always has been. Seems like social media has turned the fans into whingy little drama queens. | |
