Iroegbunam on loan would be nice too. I suspect we’ve moved on from Bird this window as he’s out for two months. EDIT: Iroegbunam also injured for a while :/
I’m getting headaches wondering how Rosenior will fit all of the forwards he’ll have (fingers crossed) by the end of the window. There’s absolutely no wonder he came into that press conference with a smile on his face.
Do you think Allahyar will be one of them? I think Longman will go before the window closes and there’s rumours about Allahyar leaving too. With Philogene potentially coming in, I can see Longman and Allahyar not getting many minutes even when they’re fit. Is Allahyar still injured as well? Rosenior said him and Vinagre might be back for Blackburn but obviously they weren’t.
... and I wonder where Sinik fits into all of this? If I hadn't seen him actually play, I'd be wondering if he was some sort of money laundering deal. I can't figure out what is going on and where he fits into LR's plans.
I thought LR made his thoughts crystal clear on Sinik last season. Regardless of the narrative peddled in the media by Acun, I couldn't ever see him fitting in. My slight worry for the season is that we've got a lot of high earners not playing/unlikely to play regularly for us. There's Allahyar, Sinik, Oscar and Christie all warming the bench at best and I think Seri will find himself among those too.
Seri will 100% be playing regularly. We don’t have anyone else who has his passing range and precision
He needs to drop one of the deeper midfielders and I can't see him dropping Slater. We can't keep having a midfield the opposition can walk through and we've got plenty of players now who can pick a pass
Slater very rarely passes forward. Adama&Twine can do it in higher areas. Tufan is too inconsistent. Simons we are yet to see if he’s trusted
If Lokilo has to make way for Twine and we have two wingers coming in, how does Lokilo even get on the bench
It's a 9 man bench, I'd think we'd have 2-3 attacking options on the bench, think it'd be someone like Vaughan who'd drop out of the squad, and most definitely Ally, Longman, Sinik etc. need to move on.
