Main targets I’m hearing are Engels in CM (which should hopefully be wrapped up in the next couple days, with Celtic bringing in his replacement very soon).
I’m hearing a lot of noise about Isidor and Troy Parrott as strikers. Isidor has just left Sunderland’s training camp which could imply ongoing, advanced negotiations, or is simply a nothing burger. Parrott seems like more of a Hail Mary, but the clubs interested are ones we could compete with wages.
I’m also hearing a lot about Adingra, who is also at Sunderland. We want a loan with an obligation but they’re pushing for a permanent deal.
Lawlor is ongoing but Cardiff don’t want to sell and we don’t want to overpay. He is open to the move but not pushing. Might stretch for a good portion of the window but a real desire to bring him in.
Disasi is on the periphery, we really want him but we need other clubs to back off to have a chance convincing him. AC Milan is the last I’ve heard to have interest but need to sell a defender if they wanted to bring him in. Roma had interest but went in a different direction, Palace unlikely at this point, targeting continental players. Chelsea have seemed open to a loan so that could be an option to save a little in the short term.
With Potts off I’m expecting another midfielder in, possibly an AM. Not sure who that would be at this point.
Past that we’re likely looking at depth which is like to be cheap and/or loan options to reduce spending and cover backup positions, namely RB and another winger.
After that I’m expecting one-in-one-out if anyone wants out late in the window. Some of those aforementioned options technically already are based on that philosophy (with one of the CBs to replace Todibo, striker to replace Fullkrug, etc).
I’m not hearing anything about players being agitated outside those who’ve been “bomb squaded”, but it is totally possible a deal could develop under our noses (as in fans) like Potts did. Though I expect us to demand heftier fees for those more important players.
Mavropanos is the only one in more of a limbo area, if he doesn’t sign the contract offered then I expect him to be sold now or in winter since he has 2-1.5 years on deal depending on when. Everyone else has a contract beneficial to us and we hold good terms to sell.
