How many more signings do you think we need?
I have been called greedy for ideally wanting 5 more signings and I know that won't happen
Ideally I would like a goalkeeper a central midfielder a pacey left winger a number 10 and a striker with Walters and Wells
moving out

Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
Pacey winger and a number 10.
Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
No goalkeeper?
Or are you assuming Joe Hart is joining us?

Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
Center mid, winger, number 10 , keeee, however a winger/no.10 type who could fill both positions would be ok moving Hendrick back to CM . Therefore wanting a keeper and a number 10/winger type or one of each
Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
You lost me a bit there
But is that 3 more players in total?

Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
I’d be satisfied with one more signing, providing it’s a creative midfielder/ forward capable of playing the no 10 role in our team. Jay Rodriguez would fill the role nicely but not sure how likely the deal is at this point.
Watching Leeds today and Samu Saiz and Kemar Roofe caught my eye, might be a decent alternatives.

2 or 3 ideally. No more than that. We don't need both a striker and no. 10.

Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
Just two-and to quote SD a few months ago quality rather than quantity
A central midfielder as sadly Steve Defour is injured and some way off fitness, plus despite his brilliance he has an injury track record with us. We also need someone different to Wood, Vokes and Barnes. Happy with a Jay or Dwight Gale-someone with 12 goals in them
I thought Matt Ritchie was destined for Stoke but they got McClean-he could be a good option for us too

Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
Assuming Hart is signing.....
Winger and forward (who can play no 10).
Antonio and Rodriguez would be ideal!
Not overly bothered about another CM but maybe we could get one on loan....?

Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
Gibson, hart, No. 10/winger and maybe striker with pace.
Would love a no 10 from oversees as there are some real hidden gems out there.

Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
Given we have now got 23 I think of our 25 we can only use another two in unless we move folk on Heaton Lindegaard Hart (if he signs) Pope out until at least January, Bardsley, Lowton, Ward Taylor Mee (if rumours are true of him signing) Gibson, Long, Tarks, Lennon,JBG, Cork,Defour (if he stays) Brady, Hendrick,Westwood,Vokes, Barnes,Wood,Walters, Wells.
Rumours of Walters out on loan would make 3 places to fill

Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
I think sweet spot is 3, if Dyche thinks we need a keeper. The most important thing is we have more depth in wide and central midfield areas, but all summer Dyche has been chasing Rodriguez so he clearly wants a genuine withdrawn striker to complinent Wood. The right 2 players can fill all 3 of those vacancies.
Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
Maybe I should also have asked to fill which positions?

Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
3. Hart, Rodriguez and a left-sided utility midfielder would be fine. A 4th signing like Antonio would be the icing on the cake but otherwise we could take a young prospect on loan to give another option out wide.

Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
For me if we can look back and say we have signed Hart, Gibson, Jay Rod and a Winger, I would be more than happy.
Hart - gives us good experience and helps us with Heaton/Pope being injured
Gibson - He gives us good options at the back - Together with Dunne, Long and Tarks - we are well prepared if Mee does go in January - which I suspect will happen if he doesn't sign a new contract.
Jay Rod- He gives us a different type of striker, he is also well liked by fans so will fit back in really well. Think it would release Hendrick up from trying to be the no 10 role. Hendrick in midfield then gives us - Westwood/Cork/Defour/Hendrick.
Winger - think with Lennon, JBG and Brady we could do with another indivdual here for giving us some cover/options. The youngster McNeil has looked ok but appreciate he may not be ready for the premier league yet - although I would give him a shot personally.

Winger/Attacking Midfielder and Striker.
If being overly greedy another more conservative central midfielder too, though that is not a ‘must’ I don’t feel.

It's not how many, but where they fit in and the cost. Be careful. You're playing a mug's game.

Number 10, centre mid/wide man, goalkeeper.

Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
Assuming Joe Hart signs tomorrow then just another 2 will do me.
Pacy striker who can play off our many target men.
Also a pacy tricky winger who can create something out of nothing. Would love a Robbie Blake type character (though I realise he wasn't pacy, especially on his last stint at the club).

Without shipping anyone out, that’s pretty much bob on for me. Although I wouldn’t say the extra centre mid is greedy.jedi_master wrote:Winger/Attacking Midfielder and Striker.

I’m not convinced by Hendrick and sadly, Defour can’t be relied on for a season, which leaves us very short in a key area.
Westwood doesn’t let us down but we are far less of a threat with him in the side. He’s useful backup, when that’s for Defour though, we look bereft of ideas.
Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
We need 2
A striker who is quick and Can play a number 10 role
A winger who can play centrally

Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
The hardest position to fill on any club is a top flight striker. That's why they're paid so much. You almost have to grow your own. Denmark has been playing for years without a recognizable one. Eriksen is their top scorer, and he's a mid-fielder. Just hope that Ash the Bash continues to develop and stays healthy.

(2) Forward and the near mythical creative midfielder. No real evidence that Defour can play anywhere near a full season. Not enough creativity in the Cork / Westwood axis, Hendrick is miles off it and has appeared that way for sometime.
Amazed that more people on here don’t think we need a midfielder. Little concerned that the self-imposed small recruitment pool we swim in may have been exhausted. That said, Gibson was out of the blue so there’s hope.

Number 10 and a keeper would keep me clapping happily.
Depending on injury lengths possibly a winger too if Brady is long term again.

Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
How do define "need"? If we need to win the European Cup, that won't happen. If we need to keep making progress, I only have one answer. Keep trusting Sir Dyche.
Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
Walters, Wells, Agyei, Mcneil, Vokes, Legdzins and Dunne OUT
Jay Rod, Bolasie and maybe a CM IN

The 3 young lads need game time we can't give them so should be sent out on loan, Legzdins and Walters are completely useless and should leave immediately, Wells i'd sell to make room and the same with Vokes who is out of contract in less than a year, we can't turn down £7M or so. As it stands, we have far too many attacking options and we're still a couple short, we need room, cut the weak links and use the £10M or so income (from sales) and the £100K+ p/w wages we'd be freeing up and put it towards signing a player Dyche wants (Rodriguez?).

Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
Squad size now 23 exluding Pope, Wells and Ledzkins so assuming Wells goes and others stay room for another two ?one loanee and one permanent.
If we name Ageyi we only have one slot left as I don't think he is now a youngster like Dunne and McNeil

Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
SD won't bring in another CM if we're still seriously going after Jay Rod. That'll be the final nail with regards to Hendrick being a no.10. He'll be dropped back into his more natural CM role and become our 4th option alongside Defour, Cork and Westwood. If Defour looks like he's going to miss a decent chunk of the season I can see us bringing a loan in to bridge the gap, but I really don't see us signing another CM at the moment.SkiptonClaret wrote:(2) Forward and the near mythical creative midfielder.

Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
I’m really happy with the signings so far. I think we’re missing another winger personally. Lennon, JBG and Brady all decent, but when Brady is eventually fully fit what level of player will we get back? I’m assuming Defour will be back fit this side of October when feeling reasonably happy with the midfield.
To add to this, I think the signing of Hart shows some serious intent from us. We’ve signed a player who has won the golden gloves award 4 times, has represented his country 75 times, and played about 400 career games. Pep G getting shut destroyed his confidence. He’ll be the top earner at the club so it’s a serious commitment to make sure our GK position is sound.

Have you already seen enough of this lad in 30 minutes to make that judgment??
What a load of rubbish. This lad could turn out to be a real find. He has pace to burn and could be a good option off the bench. I'm sorry he's not played for Palace and Everton but he's one of our own and deserves his chance. Obviously highly rated by those that matter.

Re: How many more signings do you think we need?
Just a winger really now. Assuming Vydra is played in the number ten role.
Not keen on Jay at his current valuation but in reality he fits both winger and number ten position so could be worthwhile pursuing if wba can be bullied. If not then sod them.
