We're no more desperate than other clubs for needing certain positions filled. Again if we have a good few options we're chasing then the desperation doesnt really exist in negotiations of 1 of them we just tell them we're speaking to other players unless their price is fair

Doubt there's many teams in the premier league who literally have one decent CB available. It needs sorting.
 
We're doing a good job on recruitment, we aren't in an 'emergency' situation :lol:

It's good to be looking forward to the next new player announcement, whoever that may be.

That’s just not true.

At least 2 solid CHs, a keeper with experience and a razor sharp CF, then we can make a fight of it.

It's a lot to do in a short space of time mind. Without it it's struggle from day 1.

Definitely need two centre halves in my opinion as Dan Ballard is quite injury prone, also need a goalkeeper and a forward, easier said than done. We are certainly giving it a go though.

Without doubt, its fierce in the PL and the quality is top drawer, with what we currently have we'll sink like a stone very quickly.

Looks like they realise this and are going in the right direction.

I would expect that Xhaka has been made certain assurances about the quality, if not the names we are trying to bring in.

I'm pretty sure every other club will have at least one established top level player in every position, or in the case of the promoted clubs, at least a high level championship player.

When it comes to centre backs we don't have that. Unless we sign one in the next 10 days or so, we'll be starting the season with Seelt, a player with almost no experience in senior football and who has spent the best part of the last 2 years injured.

I'm absolutely certain that the club is working hard to address this, but the urgency can hardly be overstated.
