Yuki Koabayashi Away on a permanent deal, surely we must be lining up a CB especially with Shandy looking like he is going on loan.

We better be. ?

My hunch is we will have CCV, scales, Welsh and Nawrocki and at least 1 more.

That's Kobyashi, Lager and now MJ all set to leave which will take in more money and save wages.

The money for them alone should cover buying the polish lad from MLS.

Money we took in from previous sales should pay for or help pay for Engel, so if MOR goes, that money should be invested on new CB and LB imo.

Even if we spent 10-12 on O'Shea and 2.5 on Beck, we are still in the black. Although O'Shea looks like he may be heading to PL.

Do we have anyone else in mind at CB, because going into CL with CCV and Scales really concerns me and it will be concerning BR, he's a realist and nobody's fool.

This is our biggest week in years imo.

Maeda there was talk early in the window of Chris Mephan from Bournemouth coming in, although as per it’s gone quiet .
Him and o Shea are the only ones I’ve read about . Sometimes I wish we wouldn’t be linked with prem players as it’s obvious we can’t compete with wages they are on, so inevitably rarely get them over the line and signed. Then the board can say we just couldn’t get it over the line on a couple. What u mean they wouldn’t accept a massive wage cut to come and play for us ?.

Quinn, that is a huge issue for us, we can offer CL and winning trophies but we cannot give them the wages they can get elsewhere.

To seriously compete in CL and to take in better quality players, our 19th century wage structure needs updating.

Rumours doing the rounds today that we are interested in signing 26 years old, 6ft3, left footed USA international ex Arsenal centre half Auston Trusty from Sheffield Utd who is valued at £5m.

If we sign him we could have usa centre back pairing. I have a feeling Taylor will keep lb slot.
