Three more to come in at least RW, RB and defensive midfielder, and if possible a striker.
12 Aug 2025 14:29:07
Think we could do with a forward.
12 Aug 2025 15:20:47
Definitely a forward, get the feeling Beto will stay tho.
12 Aug 2025 15:44:12
Would keep him as third choice mate.

If we get a RW and RB, I think we’ve done pretty well this window. We all know it will take time to improve the squad but it feels like we have made a big strides if we sort out the right hand side.

I'd like to see a prolific goal scorer who can play RW, LW, RB, LB, MF, CB, and in goal if needed. Not asking too much ?.
12 Aug 2025 18:25:06
Not sure we’ll get a forward in and not sure we should - just signed Barry and we’ve got Beto who when given a run of games scored for us.
Not sure any striker including Haaland would have managed to get double figures in our team last year as the service to the forwards was abysmal.
Hoping now we’ve actually got players who can play a decent pass and whip a cross into the box we’ll see Beto score more.
Barry will need time to adjust to the league so imagine his minutes will be managed accordingly.
Much rather any remaining money spent on a right back and a right winger than on a striker.
{Ed025's Note - i dont expect a forward either Dan but i really think we need one, Beto and Barry are very similar and neither prolific so a young mobile pacy guy would have been nice mate, but as you say the right side needs attention..
12 Aug 2025 19:08:21
Get a RW in and with the current potential line up Beto will score goals.
{Ed025's Note - im still not convinced DMS but would be very happy to be proved wrong..
12 Aug 2025 20:18:12
Not for me I’m with Ed on this one.
12 Aug 2025 20:19:43
Don’t we have any U23s / U21s who can play up front with pace?
Otherwise, we might need to use a loan space to get someone in once we have sorted RW and RB.
{Ed025's Note - loans could be on the cards i feel BR..

Totally agree with tou ed25. Barry is still a bit raw, especially in this league, and will need time to adjust. Chimiti needs a loan to get him firing, 0 goals in 24 isn't a good return at all. I'm not even getting into the beto debate but I will say that, if we are tonprogress as a club then he needs replacing within the next 12 months.
{Ed025's Note - it does look on the face of it that we will be creating a lot more chances this season BP, the gauntlet is firmly thrown to Beto or Barry to convert those chances and only time will tell if i have got it wrong, but as usual i will be showing my arse in John Colliers window if i am mate.. :)
13 Aug 2025 15:14:26
I'm beginning to think you'll use any excuse to get your arse out ed25!
Totally agree mate. If beto is scoring 20 odd goals a season then I'll be as happy as any fan, it means we are doing something right as a team and will be further up the league than we could expect. Can't see that happening in all honesty though mate.
{Ed025's Note - i am a bit of an exhibitionist BP, i think Beto and Barry are the same person with a different face and are very much of a muchness mate, im not saying they wont succeed but i think we need a different string to our bow if its not working, maybe..
