I think the club will try and get another left wingback to compete with Mitchell. Kostic seems like a relatively affordable option and Glasner knows him. I agree that any other moves will likely depend on outgoings, although I do think another forward player would be good.

I could see JRS going (loan more likely) and possibly Ayew if he wants first team football and if we can realise some value. This may well mean the addition of a further forward otherwise we could be short of options. There’s also uncertainty around when Franca will be fit . He hasn’t had a proper pre- season after his operation and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he missed at least the first weeks of the new season.

Personally I'd still love another CF (Adebayo). I guess the rest might depend on movement. Olise was a massive loss, but feels like we've spent the money well, and still have a little left!

I hope Ayew doesn’t go. He’s been a loyal servant to the club and much used particularly when we pick up an injury or two which is inevitable. He can also play in many areas. His experience, trickery and ability to draw fouls are all huge assets. He also has a few goals in him. What’s not to like. I agree we need to sign another wing-back as cover and competition for Mitchell. Edited by XKudu (02 Aug 2024 9.43am)

Edited by XKudu (02 Aug 2024 9.43am) I thought this was why Umeh has been promoted to the 1st team squad to do exactly that? I stand to be corrected. This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

He hasn’t had a proper pre- season after his operation and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he missed at least the first weeks of the new season. I am really hoping Franca makes a full and good recovery. He was very expensive for what he was/is/might be. On the odd occasion he played, he looked like he had potential.

He's too important for the squad. More important than his transfer value would be

doombear Too far from Selhurst Park 02 Aug 24 10.47am
Are we done? Well, all we've actually done so far is replace 3 of the 4 players who have left (Riad, Kamada and Sarr for Tomkins, Riedewald Ferguson and Olise). We still have 2 spaces if we want a full squad complement of 25. I don't think we're done. We must still have funds from the Olise deal plus whatever else had been earmarked for this window. This doesn't mean we'll spend the money, but if the right player becomes available... It will be interesting to see if the Wesley rumour has legs, especially given the claim that we've submitted a bid of Franca proportions for this young South American left winger.

We obviously don’t want to spend money just because we have it but… hopefully Freedman will work his magic again by spotting a young hidden gem in a lower division. Such players must be itching to play for us as we’ve proved we’re the best launch pad to international stardom. What a persuasive selling point.

I'd be very surprised if Umeh is seen as Mitchell's understudy. First, he looks more like a forward and second he is very raw. The fact we had Sessegnon on trial also suggests left-back/wingback is an area the club are looking at.

I agree that any other moves will likely depend on outgoings, although I do think another forward player would be good. I agree however the money quoted so far is too high.His current club don't want him and he is over 30 so no sell on value.I think it will run till near end of window and he will arrive either on loan or about 5 million. I also think the young keeper we have been linked with is possible either if we sell a current player or to buy and loan out to get more first team experience. The Brazilian winger Wesley is another real possibility for 2 reasons firstly it may help franca having a fellow country man and also he looks like a player who has real potential and sell on value. Nketiah may not be dead as it looks like arsenal will need to reduce price to sell a figure around 20 million may get him
