Originally posted by doombear Rather strong and desperate language. Let's remind ourselves who we got rid of. - Wickham and Sakho = regular absentees through injury and/or whatever. So no loss there as far as their contributions last season go - Dann and Cahill = slowing up all the time and replaced by superior players in Andersen and Guehi - Hennessey expensive 3rd choice keeper not needed as replaced by Butland last season - Henderson - replaced by Matthews - Woods - didn't feature so won't be missed - McCarthy - injury prone and of limited value. We have a far superior upgrade having loaned Gallagher - Batshuayi sent back to Chelsea having produced little last season - We are left with PvA and Townsend. We could do with replacements for them both. However, Olise should be an adequate replacement for Andros once he's back (probably next month). So catastrophic if we don't sign anyone else? I don't see it as that bad. I'm fairly happy with the recruitment so far but feel we need more goal scoring options.

I think that if Neither Benteke or Mateta leave the club i think we will be looking for someone who can play centre or wing, not a fox in the box, unless one of them leaves, we also have two loan spots available “That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

It might be worth enquiring about Chilwell as he's not getting a look in at Chelsea. JAO

Originally posted by CP81 ^^This 👍 Am I right in saying that we have our allowed two loan players. So if anyone else comes through the door it has to be a purchase? No, you're not right. The limit of 2 ONLY applies to loans from other English clubs. Fulham had something like 7 loans last season, mainly, of course from overseas. So we can have one more English loan and several more from overseas, should we wish.

Crying need for a creative midfielder/playmaker. Unfortunately they are a very rare breed and undoubtedly outside our price range. Without such a player we won't score goals even if we had Ronaldo or Kane so, Q.E.D., we will probably go down this season.
