Aye I’d like to see him deeper, suits him more. Crying out for a goal threat through the middle. Bit greedy to ask for two wingers also
Wouldn't say greedy, we'll be losing poveda and watson (already) 2 wingers is a minimum expectation for me
Forgot poveda was even here. Sorry, a quality right winger ready to go, gutted we missed out on Edwards and a left sided to push mundle
Nectar, Rigg, new signing and a loan/Browne for 4 players to play the deeper midfield positions. New first choice 10, Rigg can cover here as can aleksic and browne.
More and more I hear about him the worse it gets, I felt the club had prioritised bringing in players with ability but also the right characters - Ekwah and Isidor great for morale, Mepham brought experience etc. Poveda however, a total rotten egg.
Just a quick look at what I would look to do with the current squad this summer if we are still in the Championship. Loanees; Danns ELF Samed Mepham Would only look to sign Mepham. Would love ELF but the fee/wages would be too much. Gone already; Watson Sell/Release; Roberts Poveda Anderson Consider loaning; Abdullahi Aleksic Jones Hjelde Seelt Consider selling/releasing Browne Huggins Alese Ballard Patterson I'd then be open to accepting big offers for some of our bigger assets to allow us to reinvest; Jobe £25m+ Rigg £20m+ Neil £12m+ Hume £10m+ Going to be very hard to avoid a large turnover this summer. But the money we could bring in could be transformative and allow us to bridge the gap to the parachute payment clubs.
Think depending on what happens, we will need about 10 players in, And imo we need to move Luke on, if we want to progress we need to move those on who have been here a while, thankful for what he’s done but think it’s time to say goodbye
If someone bids for Ballard too I’d be tempted. Bring in two beasts of centre half’s and have LON as backups
Yeh O’Nien won’t generate a large transfer fee and is brilliant to have in the squad. Little point moving him on. Wouldn’t be against us signing a speedy ball playing center back to replace him in the starting 11 but I’m not 100% sure they exist in the championship
Should probably make the most of the loan market this summer too, Salis and Danns haven't exactly been the best uses.
I understand that but imo we need to move him on, can’t keep players for sentimental reasons. when we need a leader he goes missing or does something stupid or a silly stunt. think he has gone as far as he can with us
Oh yeah we made some better moves - Isidor was always with the vision to be a permanent and the aim was for Mepham to be (we just need to wait and see what they say in the summer). One could argue ... Le Fee hasn't been a massively successful loan, but at least that one made sense.
