Sheaf is going to be one of out best midfielders this season, people are so clueless about how good he actually is

I don't think people are really. Apart from a certain braindead breastfeeder from Earldson.

However, he categorically can't continue missing huge chunks of the season otherwise it's pointless retaining him.

If he can rediscover the form shown season before last while remaining fit for extended periods he'll prove to be a huge asset

If we sign:

Doyle
Brau
KKH
Fettuccine
Dolan
Toffolo

What else do we need?

Another Keeper, and a backup RB?

Keeper, RB, CM then if Wright goes a LW.

GK/Dovin/Wilson
KKH/RB
Toffolo/Angel Brau
Thomas/Lats
Doyle/Kitching
Grimes/Sheaf
CM/Eccles
Rudoni/Torp
Dolan/Saka
Bertaccini/Simms
EMC/Wright

Maybe upgrade Eccles too if the right players comes along? Or have Torp as an 8 and get a successor for Rudi in early.

I think Eccles stays and plays as an 8 this season . Saw him play a lot further up the pitch under Lampard and was very effective in that role too . Think he offers a lot to the squad

If sheaf stays and is fit hes starting, which makes me think a CM only comes in if 1 goes.

Kessler Hayden has played 10 games in his career at LB
Looking at his highlight reel at PNE, he looked comfortable cutting in from the left hand side.

I do agree that it’s a bit of a stretch that he’ll be playing LB often for us.

Pragmatically, we just bringing in a replacement for MVE early doors.

It’s interesting as I don’t think sheaf was ever really fit last season, so hard to judge fully.

If we can get the FA Cup/Wolves version of Sheaf, then we are flying.

He was genuinely incredible vs Wolves. My 3 underlying memories from that match:

* That goal 😮

* How Sheaf looked like prime Xavi 👏🏻

* How much it hurt when I jumped off the sofa to celebrate that goal, 48 hrs after a vasectomy 🥴

just not going to happen. £4.5m for cover is just not in our remit.
Well here is another thought, can't KKH cover the right wing position too? Squad flexibility is a key attribute to improve on.

But if we sell MVE we need to buy 2 RBs, injury to Hayden and we’re down to a back up RB, suddenly a position where we were strong isn’t, keep MVE, and Hayden is cover for RB, RM & LB
Luckily he seems another player who is robust. 50 games last season including 44 in the league.

Allen maybe, Eccles is fine.For what its worth think Allen will go.
Decent back up. We need some new blood to keep the place fresh, but hopefully not too much squad churn to bed in. A new CF and an experienced keeper possibly on loan would keep me happy. Would like to see a pathway at some point for players like Andrews and Obikwu too if they've trained on, but so difficult a step up at the higher expectation.

The coaches will evaluate Andrews and Moore as they are the natural successors to Allen and Eccles. It sort of fits the model and although i like Eccles he needs to show improvement to hang in.

No, he’s v much a defender and we need attacking wide players.

If Haji stays, he’ll be considered primarily as a striker, so we’ve only got 2 ‘out and out’ wingers.

Sheaf is very good on the pitch. But he spends too many games off the pitch.
Not just that he also usually has a series of mediocre performances after returning from injury till he regains full fitness.
