Well then there's at least 3 players that need to be replaced then.

Mandanda, Sakho, Remy.

Loftus-Cheek you could argue replaces Ledley in number, but there's at least 3 there, and there are probably more we're targeting. I highly doubt we're going to rely on youngsters this season as 2nd choices. I'm not saying we'll have 22 quality players, because we only have about 15, but any youngsters will be behind those 15 + 3 or 4 or more.

Rudy why on earth would you replace those two.
We need to replace a first 11 player with a better player.
EG Sakho comes in, Dann or Tomkins drop to the bench.
Creating strength in depth.
Gradual first team improvement.

I'll replace Remy for you I can also be injured for a Season. !!!!

Well I am getting anxious with our lack of activity in the transfer market and look at all the business West Ham are doing with envy

if we can get two defenders in, we can then at least be competitive first game. then it's a case of looking for a couple more

I'm talking about replacing those 2 positions, not cr@p with more cr@p. The same applies to Jedi. We still needed Remy or a forward on the bench. You maybe didn't notice because Campbell was only needed about twice for 5 minutes.

Fact is we are down:

1st choice CB
Back up striker. Can't rely on Wickham.
A keeper, whether 1st choice or back up to Hennessey.

There are then other considerations.

Attacking mid
Right back
Back up winger, which I think is last position.

We have 15 quality players plus some shyte after releasing more shyte. We need to be as close to 20 or over as possible. Your hope of doing it with 17 is dangerous. 17 doesn't even fill a bench, then there's injuries. This is the prem, not League 2.

Reading between the lines from his last interview. He said we can't rely on 12-13 players we need 16-17. I'd say he knows he needs 3-5 more players.

Keeper
RCB
LCB
RWB
Forward

Personally I have to say I think we have problems if we can't get at least 3-4.

Must haves to play his system are RCB and LCB and RWB.

Fact is we need a keeper but do have two that can do a job.
We also have two strikers that can do a job and possibly youth or if necessary move Wilf central.

But playing his 343 system I just don't see us performing without at least a new LCB and RWB.

Tomkins maybe able to play RCB but it'd be crazy not to have another very good replacement if he goes down.

I do think our Wan-Bissaka will be ok as RCB cover but unfortunately I fear this formation isn't suited to Ward.

If Frank feels the same then I can see him being off loaded as I suspect we should be able to get decent money for him.

I would say though, I do love ward.

Personally think we need five but must absolutely sign three.

RCB
LCB
RWB

A dodgy old fullback.
An expensive dodgy keeper.Current form.
Chickarito could be good.
The diver from Hull has not been to clever.

I agree with most of this post.

We have lost 2 strikers and Wickham has a poor injury record so we need at least 1 backup. With either Lapado or Anderson in contention for other spot.

If we are playing 343 then we need dfferent types of centre backs. I think Damos last game might be Saturday. We need 2 Left sided Centre Backs one first choice and 1 backup. Sakho on loan with buy option? or Bruno indi and Jairo Riedewald as backup.
Right centre back not sure about Ward or Kelly but they are premiership standard players.

Right Wing back we have no one as first choice so I think we will buy here with Ward or Loftus Cheek as backup.

3rd Keeper we are short but can Kleton Perntreou be an adequate 3rd choice? I don't think finances will allow a WH replacement and do we want someone like Adrian or Randolph who are of a similar quality? Or is there a keeper in Europe who has been released that can provide a stop gap?

And we were not about to sing "We are the Champions".

Think this is more like "Radio Ga-ga".

Anyone thought FDB is still unsure who he wants to buy and given he only came 3 weeks ago and we have played one senior game it is not clear still who he wants. Perhaps if we had not wasted 6 weeks brining in a manager we might have had a few decent add-ons to a squad short on back-up. No surprise if we purchase Sakho on transfer deadline day.
