As mentioned previously the club would be happy to get both mendy and Simic if they don’t find a winger. Or one of the two if they find a winger. That’s what it’ll come down to

I think that's right. If Isidor is an out and out striker (I don't believe he is), then we need another winger to challenge Mundle.
 
I'd be disappointed to see Aouchiche leave but I can see why if he does, the lad has been surpassed by Riggy and doesnt offer enough combatism to play in our current midfield system. You have to ask has he kicked on since arriving? I'd say not.

If Ba goes, well I think a move might not be a bad thing for him either. Hes got loads of talent but his pitch intelligence and decision making is so poor. He hasnt kicked on either.

It shows you need to grow with this side or you'll be deemed surplus and shipped out. Its gonna be interesting to see who we can attract.

Good post

A lot of people criticise from the comfort of their armchairs, when you are actually at the match you see the runs and covering that aren’t picked up on the telly. Onein for example is constantly marshalling the defence and talking to his fullbacks, Dan Neil is forever dictating where he wants the ball, at times pointing to the area he wants it in. It’s refreshing to see the gaffer doing the same when we are out of possession instead of standing like a dummy with his arms folded ( Beale )
Exactly

Wilson Isidor will be for LW and ST so think we will get both but it's going a really busy week

From everything i've seen he's a wide forward. Even when he's played as the central striker he drifts wide left, not sure he's the target man that RLB seems to want. Look at the body type of Mayenda, Mendy and Simic compared to Isidor.
He’s 6ft 1. Seems canny enough to be targeted to me haha also don’t we use our striker to run and press and get involved in when he can. That’s what I see Mayenda doing. Isidor is fast and can carry the ball too. I personally think he would suit CF for us
 
We haven’t sold Jacky to no spend.

That makes me think it’s Šimić.

This, they’ll know that they have watchful eyes on them from us given this is a reasonably large fee and there’s expectation’s to spend a portion of it on someone the next calibre up.

Simic is the one that ticks the boxes, I suspect the only reason it wasn’t confirmed the other day is because they where waiting for Clarke’s deal to be tied up, I think we will see it happen over the next couple day’s and will be very excited by it.

6ft1 but extremely slight. Look at how Mayenda, Mendy and Simic are built. I don't think we are really asking the forward to carry the ball, just receive, hold and drop it to the wingers/midfield. He'll be fine as the striker for us but he'll be better wide left

I absolutely believe that is the case. We needed to confirm the Jacky deal to pull out a big fee.
