    Agreed. Think the pace will pick up and we'll see a couple of departures in addition to Batth & Pritch
    If we do lose a big name, I hope the club are not naïve enough to sell before we buy

    I remember being at the match years ago, Matt Piper was on the bench after being injured for absolutely ages. Think we might have been getting beat and desperately needed someone who could come on and change the game. Piper started getting changed, came to the touch line, crowd started to get excited, gets subbed on and comes running onto the pitch, and it was ****ing Jeff Whitley. Gutted.

    Not going to pretend I know how to run a football club but I’d imagine a 20 million sale means we get higher cost emerging players who have a higher ceiling and on it develops. You’re possibly right like, by the same calculation, wait one season and 30 get us even more. Coventry are signing players we can’t afford though and that must make a sale tempting if we have players just out of reach (not that I’d want Simms tbh)

    Rak-Sakyi looks really talented, I mentioned him at the start of the summer as an Amad replacement. I'd rather he wasn't a Roberts replacement, he'd be a good addition as a Lihadji replacement though.

    We need options. Especially attacking players who give us tweaks within games. IF Roberts was injured yesterday, what then ?

    Are there no whispers or links to any holding midfielders?
    IMO we are crying out for a natural holder I get the clammer for a centre forward but theres plenty goals in the team as it is a natural holder would help to rectify the sloppy goals we’ve conceded so far!

    Agreed. As important as a striker imo.

    If it was Cannon who is close... well... Calvert-Lewin has just gone off injured again.

    I think a CDM is important as well but would say striker is the more immediate priority. Want both before window closes.

    Ideal world we get a no.9, a CDM and a Broadhead type who can play across the front 3

    likely Pritch and Batth will have to go to fund those deals

    maybe Taylor and Bennette to go out on loan

    Miracle he was on it in the first place mind. A career just slipping away in a stream of injuries.
