We're in for 2 attackers?! (Flemming 1 of those) and no-one else...
Surely we're looking for some CB reinforcements?! |  | | |  |

As it stands, I think Flemming might be it for the day in terms of incomings. But obviously things can change quickly on deadline day. |  | | |

Sky Sports reported a little while ago that Flemming expected, but any further incomings depended on players going out. |  |

At least if Flemming comes in today we will know he will be available Friday unlike some deals which are so late the player is either not registered in time or not up to speed although he will only have a couple of days. | | | |

Then the club have failed to strengthen adequately despite the good work done. Something which seems to be a reoccurring theme for Ashton year after year. | |

Not sure why this has warranted three downvotes. Talk about shooting the messenger! | | | |

Or a right back that we trust. If Greaves needs to cover Davis weāre a bit stuffed and canāt carry another injury or suspension across both CBs and LB. Seems like suicide to me.
I assume weāre not looking to reinforce RB because Ouattara is expected to step into that role very soon. If not, the need for defensive reinforcements is even more dire. Otherwise weāre potentially undoing all the good work put into getting players like Enciso and Palacios through the door.

Continuing with 3 of the 4 starters from last season in defence just bother a lot |  |

Sure I get that and, fwiw, I have some sympathy with your reply.
But the downvotes were unnecessary (although I have it on good authority that the author is a bit of a wrong 'un!) | | | |

If we get Mings in on loan (a big if, I know), I wonder whether he would be able to cover for Davis at LB (as well as primarily giving us an experienced addition at CB)? Or are his days of bombing up and down the line long gone at his age and with the various injuries he has suffered? | | | |

So does that leave our backline as Ouattara - O'Shea - Diop - Greaves or O'Shea - Diop - Kipre - Greaves ? [Post edited 1 Sep 11:24]

You left out Furlong | | | |

It's either Ouattara or Furlong TBH. Though I guess Ouattara could play left back as well. The key issue for me is centre back. We need someone else in there. | |

Not utilising at least one of the loan spots for defensive cover would be disappointing | | | |

Yer Iāll go with this. Would have liked another CB option in for sure. Hope we have enough about us in CM to provide protection though. | |

For all the good work weāve done this window, which has been very impressive, making only 1 nailed on defensive improvement to the back 4, as a newly promoted side is baffling to me, especially with loan opportunities available |  | | |

Itās not a league where we want to be patching up with makeshift defenders is it. You need everyone on their game and in their preferred positions, as most are going to be outclassed individually by a lot of attacks in this division.
Weāll see what happens, but if it ends up with only Fleming in and Akpom out today thatās going to leave us worrying about defensive injuries or drop in form all the way through to January.
Ouattara is the big unknown. Heās young but GON will know what heās capable of. Heās got the physical attributes we need and could really shine in either fb position. But we just donāt know if he can step up to PL levels.
An interesting day aheadā¦ |
āInterestingā day?! More like Diazepam Day! | |

Except that the defence was our best unit last season, much stronger than that which went up from the Champ last time (conceded 10 fewer goals in the promotion campaign). It wasn't the area which required the most upgrading. |  |
