Assuming the lad from Burnley through the door…. How may more can we afford.
Spending now upto £100m and probably in my eyes need another CM, Striker and LB.
Is 3 more realistic. |  | | |  |

Up to 5 more I think - though dependant on who leaves.
2 x CMs in addition to the incoming, especially if Taylor leaves
1 x Striker
1 x LB
1 x RB [Post edited 3 Aug 20:23]

I'm thinking 5
Lcb, rb/rwb, cm, 10, striker
Hoping Enciso will follow shortly as the 10 | | | |

We need at least 8/9 more to be competitive in this division:
2x CMs
1/2 ST's
Another Attacker (Enciso)
LB
RB
CB
RW/LW
Its not just the starting lineup we have to improve we've also got to strengthen our options off the bench to give it a fair crack | | | |

Don't think we are getting that many more, 5 seems more likely.
"competitive", "fair crack".
What are your expectations?

We haven't made any loan signings yet either so it may not all be multi million pound deals to come |  |

Affordability will not be an issue. I see 4-5 more in, plus 1 more if Jaden leaves, and another £50-100M spent. | | | |

No idea what we can afford, does anyone know?
But in terms of what we realistically need...
Striker
CM
Enciso
CB or a LB (or someone that can play both)
If they could afford it and could shift a few more players on I imagine they would do a lot more business, however. |  |

Think this is spot on but it depends who goes out, it may need to be more. From last seasons group, either of the players on the left may go, McAteer, Taylor, maybe Mehmeti (not sure he's good enough for the prem), Hirst, Egeli loan? Are we definitely keeping Chuba? Lots of players across that front line may need to be replaced. | | | |

Unfortunately, my current expectations are that we get relegated with a similar points total to the last time we were in the prem, maybe a slightly higher total unless we significantly strengthen across the squad. Don't get me wrong some of the business we've done I'm happy with, just feel we need more whether we get it, I doubt it. | | | |

” No idea what we can afford, does anyone know?
The answer is 42 
But seriously, a lot! I wrote this before we’d sold any players, which would push what is possibly even higher. We won’t get close to spending what the new rules would allow (which are highly beneficial to us, as we’ve kept our wage bill very reasonable)
This is why I think we’ll spend £175-200M. Statement signings still to come.

Working on the assumption the following leave -
Palmer
H.Clarke
Hirst
Philogene
Taylor
Al-Hamadi
McAteer (if this evenings rumour is anything to go by)
Ogbene
Humphreys
I think you could see up to at least 7 new players, even after the signings of Enciso and Florentino.
RB/RWB
LB cover
CM x2
Winger
Striker x2 |  |

Another £100m to go then. I really hope for 3 high quality signing and some of lesser value. Plus a couple of loanees. [Post edited 3 Aug 21:55]

Genuinely think we have only just started this time round. Think the squad at the club will want to learn lessons from our last experience. We're still looking for nailed on starters in some positions let alone the quality in depth we will need.
10 more for me across all areas of the squad and many to leave. No room for sentimentality if we want to push on.
As someone else has said that whole Oxford squad could possibly be an early indication of those with a point to prove and I'm not sure many fared well | | | |

Harsh on JC and Kipre from that Oxford squad and I assume Burns given we offered him a new contract. If the rest of the seniors from that game were not around it wouldn't be a massive loss although Johnson needed as cover for FB (and he needs to play like end last season not Saturday) | | | |

Yup. I think that's bang on from what I'm hearing.
Loan market will soon be key. | | | |

RB
LB - one of the full backs should be able to cover CB if required
CM X2 excluding Luis. Three if Taylor leaves
Enciso
ST - two if Hirst leaves
So six if no one leaves. Wouldn't mind another winger should Philogene depart; especially if we're looking to sell McAteer and Ogbene. | |

3 is no way near going to cut it, surely people can see that.
7 minimum, including 2 late PL loans. Hoping for 8-9 tbh.
I think we will spend around 180-200M with a few surprising outgoings to come. [Post edited 3 Aug 23:12]

Yep. I had 7 in my head as well and that is to be competitive frankly. No matter what good work we have done so far and what we may still do, other clubs are just so far ahead and that isn't our fault but just how it is. Fulham made two cracking signings today and they are one of the clubs we are hoping will get sucked in.
This whole spending gazillions to give yourself a shot is a depressing far cry from what promotion used to feel like when I watched Lyall's men. |  |

You can rip up about bedding in and patterns of play to be honest, we just need the upgrades and going to have to figure out the rest later.
Squad as it is will be comfortably relegated. | |

Think that's pretty much spot on. Though I had a thought that occurred earlier today. Given our usual seemingly trials and tribulations in any transfer window including this one thus far, of securing a proper no 1 striker. I wonder if G O'N would or even is considering, going with a false 9 ? Oh I would add a wide left/left winger to that list, especially if JP goes, and even maybe if he doesn't as neither he or JC ( as much as I'm a fan of his ) have yet to prove they can fully cut it in the PL. |  | | |
