Like days ending in Y 🤣🤣🤣

We will sign a keeper and a winger/AM....at this point we just need to trust Bielsa even though I feel we need CB cover I don't think he will want one.

It's just a miracle what he's done with this squad

Agree with Lubo. Playmaker like Foristieri and a keeper either Heaton or Darlow.

I wouldn't mind defensive cover. Holgate from Everton on loan can cover centre and right back.

Bielsa will wait for Ayling, Berardi and Cooper to return for CB with Halme and Phillips playing there now. I'd rather Halme play on Sunday so that Phillips can take up his Pirlo role and allowing Forshaw to join Klich further forward. Find me a better midfield trio in this league, I dare ya

A keeper and a centre back for me are a total must.

I'm also unsure if we would need to replace Baker if we thought about letting him go.

Shack is supposed to be a midfielder who we have dragooned into the right back slot due to three injuries there.

I see no reason why he couldn't done job in the middle, particularly when you consider that Baker has only really featured off the bench for us anyway

We shouldn't be getting rid of Baker just yet. Give him some time.

I could see us signing a winger and playing Hernandez at 10.

Anyone who watched the U23's defeat yesterday will know that Halme is miles from being good enough to be starting, worries me that if he is best we have at CB in the age group just how bad are Pascal Struijk, Hugo Diaz and Connor Shaughnessy?

Halme done alright when he has played for the senior team. Will judge him off that.

Halme has been great in the first team.

Holgate on loan would be a great coup.
A senior experienced goalkeeper on loan.
A fast tricky forward to offer another option.
