Strike

We were on the right track picking up Delap Pedro and Hato but I think we are a couple of players short to put together a 80-90 point campaign. Not enough quality in attack to overwhelm teams

We have a game every three days or so for a stretch - I'd say Jackson is first change in the league games and starts the CL games with Guiu coming on

That is if he even gets on the ball Lot of the game was passing by him

I think both Jackson and Guiu are striker options. With Pedro able to play behind them

Both Jackson and Guiu back. No one joining. Joao Pedro to play ST and CAM. This is the plan I think and will be a quiet deadline day

Guiu was third choice behind Mayenda and Isidor at Sunderland Might as well be that here and get more game time

I hope they have a club lined up for NJ Villa don’t have money but could do the loan Bayern were doing

Source is Plettigoal - I would wait since he was not really accurate in reporting just yesterday on this deal

Villa will be busy till the deadline but doubt they'd sell Rogers imo

That's true. Arsenal seem to be comfortable away at Liverpool even without Saliba Odegaard Saka Havertz - they have assembled a good squad

None of the title challengers look good Looks like it will be another year when the title winner will be 80-85 points.

Neither team looked like scoring

Barca will ask for a good price but let Fermin Lopez go I think How is this board in this situation on every deadline day ?

If Jackson is sold then that's a good outcome out of all this drama. Better than a loan with no obligation. We do have options to sign a striker before the deadline - Emegha or Bakwa from Strasbourg or Wissa if Brentford let him go for decent fee

Dont think going into the market in this panic state is a good idea. Lot of teams have shown you can have good attacks without a power forward - PSG and Liverpool last year

Did not create anything The ambition should be challenging for the league and this group is far from it

Just block Jackson loan

Yup nowhere near a title challenge. We have a deceivingly deep squad but the first XI is not strong

Second half was better but can't take too many positives from today because we were thoroughly outplayed and were only able to get some control after being gifted a healthy lead. Won't happen in most games

Old habits from Sanchez. Have to say he's cleaned up his game but there is still the odd moment

Neto is done. Running into traffic for a while now

There were couple of options Santos for Delap and Enzo at 10 Or Gittens for Delap too. Maresca seems to favour George up front - tried that without success vs ManU at home last season too

That new set piece coach is earning his salary
