Anyone think the squad is a little light with options from the bench after all the sales?
21 Aug 2025 20:51:03
Yes, most people think that.
21 Aug 2025 20:55:27
it’s true.

Slot saying he does not expect a busy end to the transfer window too. Looks like we’re potentially done.

Who’s turn is it to post this again tomorrow?

When did he say that Diogo?
I watched his press conference and I must’ve missed that bit.
He did say:
“Really happy with the squad but there's always, if we think we can improve in a certain position and there's a player available that can really make us better, then this club has always shown they bring these players in.
But only if everything is what we want: the right transfer fee, the right player, the right position. And a player that wants to come to us. "
And we all know at least 2 players who want to come to us.

That's also what I heard Robbo. No chance we've finished yet!
21 Aug 2025 21:43:49
He was asked in press conference do you expect to have a busy end to the transfer window and his reply was “no”.

Not really sure about us being light. Do we have two players of decent quality in every position? I'd say so.
Arguably the only position where that isn't applicable is RW for Salah, and even then we have players that can cover. The only way we are light is if the expected Isak and Guehi deals don't happen. Just my opinion of course, I am sure other wills disagree, which is fine.

Definitely. We’re short of forward players. Our First 11 is top class, but our squad depth isn’t.
21 Aug 2025 23:05:51
Striker. We really have only Ekitike. I’m sorry but Danns is injured and raw and Chiesa is not a centre forward. You don’t play a 115m no. 10 as striker or false nine.

What does busy mean tho? Is signing two players busy?
22 Aug 2025 08:06:42
Diogo 20 I'll raise u that we sign 3 more players before the window closes.
22 Aug 2025 10:35:45
Diogo, I genuinely didn’t hear him say that but if he did I would take it with a pinch of salt.
He’s hardly going to say ‘oh yeah we’re going to sign loads of players and I’ve got Isak squatting on my sofa until the deal goes through’.
