What do we still need?
Ideally we get rid of all of the following:
Permanent: Ramsdale, Bazunu, BBD, Sugawara
Loan: Downs
If this happens, we clearly need a 2nd choice goalkeeper, or do we consider keeping Baz as backup?
I think our main priority, even if we don't manage to shift BBD and Downs out (as they're clearly not good enough) is a 3rd striker. I'm excited about Mubama but he is raw / unproven and that's risky if Larin gets injured. Would love us to invest some of the Charles funds into another striker or get another one on loan - perhaps Furo (Brentford) or Kusi-Asare (Fulham) may be available with both not expected to get too many minutes this year? Maybe even Guiu, though he's been linked with Prem sides - surely a lot of games in the Championship is better for him/Chelsea that being a bit part player in the Prem.
In centre mid, despite Charles' departure, I think we're relatively well stocked with Jander and Downes + Bragg stepping up when required. Matsuki (though I prefer him out wide), Akachukwu can add depth too. That said, wouldn't say no to a JWP return if that's feasible.
Still quite a lot to do, mostly iro outgoings but hopefully we can get some smart business done in the next few weeks.
