a midfield general, captaincy type of player, winger and a left back. Assuming BA and Hoedt are done.
Morris back up at best, it’s clear to see why Southampton released him as he has absolutely no pace. Decent on the ball.
Someone capable of sticking the ball in the back of the bloomin net! And will run their b0ll0cks off as well. Whether that be from attacking midfield, left wing or right wing (as I very much doubt we'll sign another striker in addition to Araujo). I have some hope that Sema could be a solid LB from his brief cameos there this season, and we could do with him on the pitch anyway somewhere when fit because of his corners.
Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham both announce they’ve paid to leave their current contracts because they’re desperate to join Watford and gain promotion having fallen in love with the golden boys during the heady days of John Eustace, Danny Graham, Lloyd Doyley et al.
1. A creative midfielder 2. A box to box midfielder 3. A CB 4. A LB 5. A RB 6. Another striker 7. Another winger 8. A better GK in that order
A midfield captain: Someone with long legs and a tackle like Capoue. Energy, graft, and an ability to rifle a shot or a through ball like Guedioura (thanks for the video btw), shrewdness and authority like Johnny Eustace, with the guile, vision and composure of Almen Abdi. All rolled into one. Do it Gino.
I’m not sure about the winger thing, but even with Louza and Choudhury fit I just don’t see a consistent and dominant midfield. I think Bilic needs more than what we have now, especially as they are rarely fit at the same time. I suppose to address your question with an answer that, until a few weeks ago, was not mere fantasy: the one player I would like to see signed within the next couple of hours is Will Hughes. But that ain’t gonna happen now.
The club to accept bids for Manaj, Sarr, Ngakia, Gaspar, Kamara, Cathcart, Gosling, Kabasale, Kalu, Okoye, Kayambe
Keep Cathcart as cover for CB but near enough. Aside from the obvious error that Kamara was sold in August.
Clear out some of the dross, which we are remedying now, and bring in a solid transitional midfielder. Selling Sarr would be a bonus as his head doesn't appear to be in it.
