Think we’ll have a few assets to sell too if the worst happens, and they have a few good games. Rigg, mayneda etc. sets the club up massively then
I do really like Stassin mind, top teams all over will be wanting him this summer and I'd be on board with him coming here.
There's no way I can see we'd sign him now. He just doesn't fit with the way we've built and progressed over the last 4 years.
Yeah. From a financial perspective we are in an incredible place. Were in a really strong place without promotion but now its really club changing income and not just for the short term. Think the fans have to get behind what we do this summer, might not be crazy transfer fees people are imagining but as long as the club are having a good go that gives us a chance, we cant complain. What is the important part is the club spends this income on infrastructure but also on building a squad that if we drop back down will be very confident of finishing in the automatics the year after with stronger foundations to come back up in future years, then we can aim for survival and stability in the prem. I'd be uncomfortable if we did a Forest and bought 20 players for £150m. If they came back down they were in a really fragile position. Obviously what they did worked but can easily go the other way. All about the balance of not putting us at risk but still keeping us as competitive as possible.
Depends on what Saint Etienne are asking really, i wouldnt mind a big lad up top aswell (which i assume is what you mean) but don't know if it really suits how we play.
I think it does, back to goal play is importsnt at times in our system but when we go up having a target man to bring off the bench would be a massive help because I think our two current strikers translate well to the premier league
The Stassin link is made up - it quotes that Joseph Burton (pretend journalist) guy on X in the article
I’ve been keen every time we’ve been linked and there’s a long standing real interest, I’d still take Cameron Archer. He will make it when he gets the right move.
Realistic starting 11 Patto Hume Ballard/MEPHAM GOES Cirkin Neil HENDERSON Le Fee FAIVRE Mayenda Mundle Obviously I know people may want more than 3/4 to come straight into the starting eleven. It could be argued that we need 8/9 starters to come in.
in addition to these starters we’d still potentially need a No2 GK, a right back, a left back, CM, LW and ST. So overall around 10 signings.
Would be appalled by our recruitment team of a washed up Henderson is anywhere near our first choice CM at the end of the window. What the **** is the point of all this planning and all that premier league money to just go back to Henderson because he played for us 15 years ago? Regardless of how bang average he has been since he left Liverpool years ago.
Tall, physical striker. At least 2 wingers. Jobe replacement. Rotation for Neil. Rotation for both Cirkin and Hume. 2 CBs, one of them left footed. Competition for Patterson.
