Polarboy 2317 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) For what Pete Graves opinion is worth as a supposed ITK person, he also reckons that we'll see the rest of our transfer business at the end of the window. Unfortunately it will be a while yet before we can dictate the market and make our moves early. At least when it comes to the more coveted and scarce attacking players.

thebrokendoll 10197 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) I wonder if the momentum in ticket sales may have a few alarm bells ringing? from brighton onwards last season tickets for home games sold out in less than 2 hours, it's took over a fortnight to sell out forest and man city tickets hardly left the website like shit off a stick. brighton away still hasn't sold out and is down to 50 loyalty points now. can't imagine the above being the case if we'd assembled something that resembles a strike force by now. unless it's down to wedding season of course?!

They will have been given a timeline of where the club wants to be and without some more goal scoring prowess from the next level up from what we already have, Botman and Bruno will know that what they have been sold will not be meeting their expectations. Everyone can see we need a better class of forwards to make that next step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 14568 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Midfield of Bruno-Joelinton-Maddison is absolutely tug-worthy. Shelvey, Willock and Longstaff are fully dependable back-ups as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone can see we need a better class of forwards to make that next step. By big name players, what I meant is players that will help us make the next step. I see the likes of Botman, Trippier, and Bruno as big names for us. I also see the need to make the next step up front. I can also see them being sold a vision for the future but I don't think they will be that concerned if we waited until January or even next summer to get the right type of player. The improvement up front will help the team overall but will not make the difference between silverware this year. I also think we need to remember that we are less than 12 months into the new ownership. It is not like people were sold a dream 3 years ago that seems to have gone nowhere.

You’d be surprised if we weren’t in for at least a couple more players though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
