We’re almost as desperate for another 10 as we are for a striker.

Are we though? Don't get me wrong, I don't want to appear like that dog in a burning room meme saying "this is fine" and I know if we were a normal footballing institution we would look to be upgrading that position but chances a plenty were created last season, it was putting them away which was our achilles heel.

Would be 3 good additions, why shouldn't they vote yes? Coupled with Ki, Dubravka & Kenedy that's a good group of players. Not allowed to be happy like?

We'd still be short of a number 10, a centre mid (assuming Hayden goes) and a decent right back to push Yedlin

Imo Manquillo will stay, Perez will continue as no.10 (deservedly so) and if Hayden does go he will be replaced. You're right, all those positions would ideally be upgraded, but I'd happy enough with the 6 players mentioned in the past few comments, I think we would be a far stronger squad with them.

If Perez dips in form or gets injured we've got no other number 10, it's a bad situation to be in. He's been our only competent number 10 for about 3 seasons now (Diame had only a handful of good games in the Championship) and there's still an argument to say it's not his best position

Yet another f***ing season with Pérez as our only #10 then

Came good last part of last season tbf. Top scorer was he? Not that it says much as our strikers couldn't finish their dinner.

When's he ever performed well across a whole season? I've always had time for him but it's a joke to have no alternative there, again.

I'd rather starve to death, okay.

Then I've got wonderful news for you.

Starving to death > ten more years of Ashley

I wouldn't be panicking about the season anymore but it's still a pisstake. Reason being is we've got a manager we can really kick on with and build and we actively don't want to; pissing about with his top targets (Pléa) and not releasing the funds for other areas. Those 3 signings I'd have but only because we're in such a dire predicament in the window.
