    Not got a good feeling about the next few days at all.

    We have left it far too late as usual. Players like Engels should have been ready to come in before we let O’Riley go.

    Bogusz transfer falling through too. Nightmare!

    Did the Bogusz transfer fall through or have we decided to move on to other targets.

    Difference in narrative dependant on ACTUAL circumstances...

    If we get Engels and Trusty in that would be underwhelming but our business would be:

    Kaspar Schmeichel
    Alex Valle
    Austoun Trusty
    Arne Engels
    Paulo Bernardo
    Adam Idah

    That is a keeper, left back, centre back, two midfielders and a striker. Some key areas identified and hopefully upgraded on. Could see our CL team looking like:

    Schmeichel

    Johnston
    Carter- Vickers
    Trusty
    Valle

    McGregor
    Hatate
    Engels

    Kuhn
    Idah
    Maeda

    Another winger would be ideal but otherwise we do seem to have tried adding quality over quantity. Hopefully Engels and Trusty are dome quickly and we can add a winger if one becomes available late on.

    Maybe it was always down to one of Bogusz or Engels and did we decide to only pursue Engels since we are far down the line with him?

    I also think that looks like a really plausible interpretation of what's happening.

    I'm quite happy if we get Engels and McCowan.

    I'm not convinced we were after Bogusz.

    If there's 3 clubs interested in MJ, surely one of them have a decent centre back we could use as part of a deal.

    Honestly sick of this. We've had a great start to the season looks like we've got more of an identity but we need more quality if we want to try and go to the next level. I know we got this LB in but we've got to seriously look at the long term because this is likely a one year stop gap. We knew O'Riley was going we should of moved quick for his replacement instead of dragging this out and we need more depth anyway for the midfield because a couple of injuries * us. I know you can't do deals mega quick all the time it takes time but we always draw it out. The Polish deal falling through I don't blame the club fully since the MLS window is closed. It feels like there's not structure at the club and it's holding us back. Hopefully we get the players we want in and I'd happily eat crow.

    That makes no sense though given they’re completely different types of players.

    Bogsuz is a forward/attacking mid. Engels seems to be more of a 6 or 8.

    If we sign Engels then we need to sign someone more advanced as well.

    Would think if we end up

    In
    Schmeichel
    Simasola
    "A CB"
    Alex Valle(loan)
    Bernado
    "Engles"
    "McCowan"(for 1m think he'll suprise a few)
    Idah

    Out (apart from Deadwod)
    Hart
    O'Riley

    That imo has us stronger than last year, O'Riley will be a big miss but if ur getting 25-30m he's gone (the right move) wingers wise Maeda looks better an better and Khun so far looks like a diff player, 2 good enough options for every single position or 2nd XI would coast the league

    Seen Josep Brekalos’ name being mentioned, not anywhere credible though and not even a thread on here about it so guessing it’s just *?

    Every comment on transfermarkt from augsburg fans refer to him as an 8 or 10.

    Im not hugely disappointed. If there isnt value in the deal, we move on.
    There is still time left in the window. Remember that missing out on Riley Mcgree led us to Matt O’Riley.
    Keep the faith.

    The fact that Rodgers had to come out the other day and put a rocket up the Board's * tells you all you need to know about how we're being run.
