Another win for Ajax.. another 90 minutes in the tank, clean sheet and assist for Hendo. With Samed being pushed back every month, here’s hoping!
Would be down to length of contract I would imagine which I wouldn't have a clue. They might want big money like
Aye that's definitely something worth considering, he seems to be a good fit for it and he brings goals. Pretty quick and good at going past players and a willing grafter, got a lot of attributes for it.
Aye, I agree. Would be nice if it happened but it looks increasing unlikely because of how well their season is going.
They've been really solid this season, really hard to play against at the minute Psv should win the league but Ajax look like they'll push them close
Weirdly I think we’ve probably got too many strikers now, so getting him into the team in a different spot would be a positive
We need a cm, maybe 2 if Samed is never going to be fit. As much as I would like a rb, we do have options there as yesterday showed. January is going to be tricky getting players to leave
It’s weird going into a January with no glaring weaknesses, some areas could do with strengthening like you say but no-one in our regular starting 11 that isn’t good enough for me
Just need a bit of support to the 11 imo. We have to be conscious that with such a settled good 11, we will be very lucky to get options at the same or better level. As it stands today, 1 or 2 in cm and I think we could have a right go from January onwards. That and some bloody luck with injuries
Some better options off the bench would do me, likely we’ll be moving AA and Ba on wouldn’t be shocked in Hjelde went out on loan so their spots need replacing, staying injury free would also be a welcome bonus
That's the issue isn't it. Samed, Browne and Poveda fit and those 2 don't make the bench. Cirkin fit and Hume not suspended and we probably have Alese and Ballard on the bench. Assuming our first 11 when fit is Patto, Hume Mepham 09 Cirkin Neil Rigg Jobe Roberts Isidor Mundle That's leaves Moore, Ballard, Alese, Samed, Browne, Poveda, Watson, Connelly, Mayenda, Seelt We can't have a huge squad, we really need some luck
That's where it gets really difficult, if Samed and Browne were fit then there's an argument we don't need 2 Cm's. A rb would be great, but we have young lads like Crompton going on loan that will hopefully come back and do a job if needed. I really rate him and think with the right development he will play for our first team at some point. Going to be an interesting window
A fit Huggins solves both full backs too the lads just as good on either side, I like crompton too hoping his loan gets extended and he can really kick on
We need to ship some players out in Jan first. Ba Adil Anderson Bennette Rusyn All need to leave permanently for me. Johnson on loan to league 1. If Samed is still not training by then I would terminate the loan. He might be the next Rodri for all I know, but right now he is no use to us and if it continues it is a risk not worth taking. Then I would like us to go into the market for another CM. It showed yesterday we need another. The lads in there will get suspensions and injuries. I am prepared to be patient with Browne yet, but another is key. I have said this before on here but I would go for Adam Randell at Plymouth. I think he would fit in really well for us. Maybe we could do a loan deal from the prem, someone like Tyler Morton would be great. I would love us to be able to play the double pivot in a 4231. If we could get another option on the RW I would do so, although I am firm fan of Roberts. Somebody like Harvey Vale would give us a different type of option. We are right in the mix this year for me. Lets have a go in January with a couple of signings to really boost the matchday squad.
