Where are we in the transfer market?? We need to get our business done early so we can the sell any players who are surplus. We cannot lack cash, not long ago it was being stated we were one of the richest clubs in the premier. I do not think over the last 2 years we have spent much as income have been funded by outgoings. So that leaves 2 years of Premier payments with last year securing a bonus finishing in the Europa League. Like most windows we have no rumours floating around etc.. unlike may clubs much below our standing. We need to show some ambition so the team looks like it is moving forwards freshening up the squad.


The only thing floating about is Matt Phillips - but we all know how difficult it seems to be doing business with WBA. I would like us to look for players who have a goal threat. So at the back that could be Craig Dawson. I think the rest of the back line in OK. Midfield is a difficult one but my choice would be Tom Cairney but the price might be too high. We probably need some creative player - not sure who? Attack is a little more difficult and while I don't want a player similar to what we have I do think Andy Carroll is a player who knows how to play his position, especially when fit. Of course there is always Depauy at Brentford this might be a risk but we have had Andy Grey from there so it might be a reasonable shout. Another consideration might be Charlie Austin. All the players mentioned have goals threat. What does anyone else think?????
