With the season upon us. I had a convo down the pub as to what takes us from top 4 to serious challengers. What are we missing, what do we need before the window closes?

I can't say I'm a fan of Garnacho or Simons if I'm honest. For me it would be:

GK - Donnarumma could be available for less than £30m

CB - still lacking some experience

LW - competition for Gittens.

Dan23 I think most would agree that the GK situation and question of replacement for LC are the ones we'd think the club would or should be looking at before close of window.

In terms of left wing/ sided attack it looks as though Simons will be on his way to us though perhaps more of left sided no 10 plus Garnacho highly likely to be signed as well as will probably be seen by club as relatively good value and at 21 able to be moved on if needs be. Perhaps he'll develop better here anyway than at United.

I might take Donnarumma on a free and as a back up keeper. When he goes down low I can hear his bones creek.
