Summer window

I agree with you, Roberts is an exceptional talent and was in Amad's shadow a bit. This season he could be immense.

 

I think Amad is better at doing what they're both best at, but Roberts is as good as anybody else at this level, and agree has more to his game. So completely agree that Amad going could allow him to flourish and also allow us to play a more balanced team. As Mowbray had no option in the end but to play Roberts, Amad and Clarke together.

 

Aye, I mean if Lihadj gets set we could play Roberts as a 10, he has that close control and can finish/shoot.

 

Whether we sign a winger will be dependent upon how Lihadji n jewi look in preseason plus dont think we have a natural LM other than Clarke

CM is an area we need to be strong, matete isnt up to the standard we need, evans is out till xmas so that leaves neil ekwah bellingham n ba - potentially embleton might be classed here as well. Still think we need another defensive minded player in there in case neil is injured or needs rested

We def have a decent size squad but reckon a few will go out on loan and we will bring in real quality to kick us on

 

Ba excites me mind. Incredible ability.

If he develops I could see him being the biggest sale in clubs history by a distance.

 

I’m hoping Amad doesn’t come back. He’s a loan player we’ve had a great season with but we need to let our own players come in. A second season blocks that out. He filled a gap (magnificently) but one of our own needs to be in that spot now.

 

Just cant decide what his best position is

 

I think cover for Clarke or number 10 might be his best position atm

 

I'm concerned that Roberts is in his final year. Madness, need him tied down

 

I can see a few players getting shifted out, either on loan or perm, to make room in the squad. On the right side we should have plenty of cover for Roberts I'm just not sure about the left.

 

Yeah I'm confident about our scouting network. I said two seasons back that KLD has so many contacts throughout the world of football, that he will bring in players that are so under the radar. And, he did. I believe that this close season will show a couple of marquee signings. I just feel that KLD has been waiting for this kind of moment to show his colours and his inentions to push on.

Players will want to come here....

 

So is Cirkin, would like to see him given a long term deal as well. Tying some of these lads down will be as important as the new signings.

Others listed here....

 

If he is in the right mind with a following wind he could outshine Clarke imo.

 

Yeah, when he came on at Luton and his first touch was to absolutely dump his man with a shimmy, I thought straight away ‘maybe a wide man’

I think we have signed a couple that folk don’t realise how big a coup they were, Ba is one, massively rated in France, and Lihadj is another, very well known as a youngster (scout will back up).

Some of the finds and signings have been immense potentially and aren’t yet being appreciated.

Big year for some of these, make your mark lads.

 

Think we can add Dajaku to that list aswell.

 

Yeh all this talk of no deal being discussed for Clarke is a bit moot when you have Roberts, Stewart and Cirkin out of contract next summer. Deals for all three would be nice. Stewart seems unlikely obvs

 

I thought we had a year option on Roberts

 

hope so.

 

I can’t see Roberts wanting to leave tbh or any of them for that matter, they seem to have a great bond.

 

Another one off to Saudi.....
