    More signings to come?

    Including Kenedy the left sided wing back,apparently deal agreed but held up because of Chelsea's squad size.

    Some polish lad as well
    Lad from stoke
    And a goalie

    Certainly need players

    But quality not quantity
    We have that already

    Not convinced we'll get a goalie now.

    I know Rafa wants one but i think after Sunday he'll decide to go with out-field options.

    I think it was you that said we saw we don't need a goalkeeper as urgently as thought Pboro?

    I agree, reckon Elliot will get the nod as number 1 and Darlow/Woodman for the cups.

    I personally don't think we needed one tbh, would rather the £5m+ go towards someone who's going to bring creativity into the team now.

    I'm happy with the goalie situation as it is

    Of course I'd love a world class one but the Ines we are linked with ain't a significant uplift from what we have

    I can't see why Rafa is wasting time and resources looking for one in this window

    Save the money for a left back forward and creative midfielder

    Have to agree with this-although I'd put our need for a striker at the top of the list.

    Obviously Rafa thinks it's important to get a 'keeper and who are we to question him, etc, etc, BUT...to get a significant upgrade on Elliott would, you'd think, require a significant outlay and the 'keeper position is not our number one problem. Medium to long term, aye, you'd like to improve our No. 1 but with our limited funds the 'here and now' is the most pressing concern.

    Agree with both of these.

    I guess a lot of comes from the Reina story in the beginning of the window as i think he would of been an upgrade - but that looks pretty dead in the water now.

    Agreed that the money should go towards the striker as well, you don't survive this league by not scoring.
