Well hope to get a few out. Anderson, Rusyn, Ba, Bennette all likely to be expendable. Johnson, Jones and maybe a couple of other young lads on loan. Possibly Patterson, Neil or Cirkin sold if a big offer comes in but I suspect we’ll wait until summer for any big sales. Squad then looks like this: Patto, Moore Hume Cirkin, Alese Mepham, O’Nien, Ballard, Hjielde, Seelt Jobe, Neil, Rigg, Browne, Samed, Aleksic Roberts, Poveda Mundle, Watson Isidor, Mayenda, Connolly, Abdullhai obvious RB competition needed. 3 of our midfield are out and one very inexperienced so a midfielder is another obvious area for recruitment. Left wing is tricky- both Mundle and Watson have been excellent but both out. Wouldn’t be surprised if the links to Vale are true, in theory he could cover AM, LW and LWB. I think we’re probably after a centre forward too. Might then let Abdullhai out on loan or even let Connolly go.
They keep lying to the LFP about income. The sponsorship on the stadium has bought them time but they running out of options now.
Its also good for any young player thinking of joining them with the view to breaking through & actually how hard it is, hopefully lets us & others hold onto the talent they have nurtured from a young age......well the sensible ones, the not greedy ones & the ones with decent parents who care about their kids career rather than biggest contract they can seal
Think we need an early break through in the window if Rigg is going/looking like hes out....its a busy January fixture list, current fit midfielders are not enough & we cant afford to fall behind next month or quite simply we will be looking at playoffs not making a push for automatic
Meant to put him in the likely to leave but don’t think it’s as clear cut, if he goes will depend on recruitment and probably won’t happen until the end of the window.
Just makes a mockery of the whole FFP thing. They’re UEFA’s darlings. Billions worth of debt, dodgy 25 year TV rights deals to continue spending, apparently on the brink of bankruptcy but sign Lewandowski amongst about 9/10 others the same window and put him on over €500k a week. If someone can tell me how that’s “fair” but Man City spending their own money isn’t then I’m all ears
Already played for us and Ipswich this year so I’m sure he can’t go anywhere else this season now, thankfully
I'm not on about loans, I think we need to move Ba Rusyn defo out the door, but the way injuries are piling up I might dust off the preds and get out jogging.
It depends how bad Rigg injury is to see what we do in January but before that I wanted a striker and RW bring in maybe backup RB
If we can find a way to get Meps to sign that would be immense. Hard To do in January as he will likely have PL options but we need to sell him a dream.
all the longer-term injuries are to 1st teamers who create and score. Rigg, Watson, Mundle, Huggins, Brown. That’s quite a big hit to our squad.
The spirit our team has gets you a long way, when you couple that with the quality the players also possess we’re always going to be a threat
