I was listening to Romano's transfer live stream yesterday. Doesn't sound like we have many public deals near fruition right now.
The only one he mentioned for us that was basically a 'here we go' was the Raya one, which we all already knew was going to happen. For all the other ones that are out in the open we're not the favourites.
Though I'm not too worried. I trust Edu's transfer strategy and abilities in the market. And I suspect we have some deals simmering on the down-low that will surprise pretty much all of us.
The other thing is that we don't need massive changes to the squad, just 2 or 3 positions. It looks like we are targeting very specific player profiles rather than just looking for a warm body to fill a given position. And I think that's a good approach.
Who would be you guys' ideal signings?
For me I like the look of that Turkish fullback at Fenerbahce (though it sounds like someone else will get him). And some sort of a young defensive midfielder, not sure who though. A physically big striker would be nice, but I'm not convinced by any of the big names we've been linked to.
Ngl the stuff with Chelsea Villa and Everton is pretty shitty. The rules aren't perfect but they're also there for a reason. Especially Everton... one has to worry.
Just thought I share this here, Reading WFC is in danger of shutting down due to uncertainty in ownership. It would be a massive shame that a staple in the women's game disappears
Honestly, a petition ain't gonna help, shutting down Reading women's saves them a couple of million dollars and might prevent the entire club going under. They just need money and a sale.
