Ed001 Do you see us signing a RW player even after if we land Barcola (LW) Or do you see us going with Rio and Munez for that position.
{Ed001's Note - it is entirely possible that Barcola ends up as the RW. We are trying to do business, but this window has been a challenging one, not helped by the club being in the middle of a changeover in executive staff involved in transfers. It does seem unlikely we can get two wingers in now, but there is still time.}

Ed001, I think Man City, Chelsea and Spurs blowing up the market hasn't helped either. Anderson at £116m, Rogers at £117m and Tonali at £100m is absolutely mental.
£100m+ signings used to be reserved for players considered to be elite. We probably didn't help that ourselves by paying £100m for Wirtz and £125m for Isak last summer, although at least they came with a bit of genuine pedigree unlike the ones who've moved for 9 figure fees this summer.

Ed01 after Munoz, I do not see another two coming in esp. since we have a serious issue at RB with no one as a true starter.
For me, it's going to have to be Barcola and an RB and even that, is not a sure thing.
