How many arrivals will we finish with this summer? 12:16 - Aug 25 with 1382 views | Vegtablue | Dara O'Shea sounded the "TWTD understands" horn yesterday evening, which would take us to 11. Will Broja get over the line? Will we be able to sign an alternative in time if his paperwork just refuses to play ball? Will a keeper come in to allow Slicker to develop his game elsewhere? Is there a wildcard late swoop in the tea leaves? More than one? Or will transfer deadline day instead see Ashton leading team-building exercises at Go Ape? Place your bets. Extra points for correct number and correct player positions. *TWTD confirms Dara's signing at 12:13! [Post edited 25 Aug 2024 12:17]

How many arrivals will we finish with this summer? on 12:17 - Aug 25 with 1328 views | pointofblue | My bet would be two. As you say, a striker and a very cheap, experienced, keeper to allow Slicker to go out on loan. |  |

Yeah I do so those two happening, and two more so lucky 13 for you. I don't know if we'll land a striker we absolutely wanted or if we'll see a Scarlett/Ahadme-type arrival once others have eluded us, but keep my fingers crossed for the former. There maybe isn't much variety in guessing available now aha, given we're 5 days away and the squad looks as full as it does in most places, once everyone's fit (🪵🤞). I have a hunch we'll sign one more outfield player though, taking us to 14. We don't clearly need more than one (striker) but the transfer deadline day tends to throw up surprise opportunities. |  | |  |

I don't see us talking on a Scarlett kind of player. We might as well just keep Al Hamadi around and develop him rather than a rivals youngster. |  | |  |

You can't recall players outside transfer windows. |  | |  |

Good point. I was thinking the Scarlett version of where we find ourselves really, closer to Brighton picking up Ansu Fati last summer in a basic loan deal. It wouldn't be a great vote of confidence for Al-Hamadi if we did that though. |  | |  |
