You've forgotten Lats

And Rudi

You've forgotten Lats

Jesus, definitely not CM and I don’t care if he plays there for Jamaica!

I’d because happy to see us move on Lati to be honest. You could be a good CB in a back 3 but he has me on edge when we play him RB or CB when we play a back 4.

 

[ClarkeZ]

Now we're cooking
And we just did a whole page of this thread without a mention of Wilson or Collins. Proud of the team here.

I like Lats , he's a competitor and always gives his all he just lacks the little bit to be a good championship centre back

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

And Rudi

He can’t play CM and AM simultaneously… Frankly, this window we ought to have a player who can comfortably play AM In the event Rudi gets injured.

A far too influential player to not have a ‘Plan B’ for.

Torp?

 

[Tommo1993]

This is how it should happen. No “ITK” leaks from fans, but sudden rumours that are probably already on the cusp of being done deals. Or just signings without rumours.

Torp is that player

If we’re spending this kind of money on another defensively-minded CM then it would make most sense for Sheaf to go.

He's a box to box midfielder, more of a Lampard type

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

He’s more of an 8 based on what I’ve read

 

[Martw]

Id keep Lats for another season, is ok for the odd game and being on the bench. Covers 3 positions potentially. I reckon those we could see leave would include. Allen, Eccles, Banks, Bidwell and BTA - that's a fair few quid saved in wages and I imagine £4- 5 million in fees (basically Eccles and BTA). We "might" get some minimal cash for Bidwell and Allen but I would expect that to be very minimal at most.. Andrews needs to go on Loan I would say, along with Perry and Obikwu

Andrews looked ok yesterday, I would retain him

All so easy on paper and being a keyboard warrior of course

 

[Ccfcisparks]

a number 8 who doesnt score goals

 

[HJones23]

Morsy leaving Ipswich for the middle east, they come in for Sheaf and this lad is his replacement ?

 

[Perennial Lurker]

He's going to fit in well with our forward line

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Rather keep Sheaf

 

[quinn1971]

Rather keep Sheaf

we’ve seen the best of sheaf, he‘ll be one of those players that could of been, can’t afford players who miss half a season

 

[Matt smith]

There’s always such a clamour for some big signings

then straight away it’s ’sheaf or rudi must be leaving’

What do you want

 

[Balli001]

You've forgotten Lats

And Eccles

 

[Martw]

He obviously has something about him and needs investing in. I would like to see him play at a top end League 1 team next year.
however, we will both trust FL and team to make the right decision.

 

[Jesse Carver]

He's Venezuelan,
He's now a US Citizen,
We hope he's relocating,
Pereiraaaaa

 

[Perennial Lurker]

If Sheaf stays fit he's one of the very best in the division. Wouldn't be in a hurry to sell him to one of our promotion rivals

Everything, everywhere, all at once. Obviously.

Yes totally counter productive if we want to be taken seriously this guy should be Allens upgrade

 

[shmmeee]

Let’s be honest that green card probably not feeling so secure these days if you’re from Venezuela. Probably dodging ICE agents on his way to training these days.

Best for all if he comes here.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Torp is that player

Disagree, Lampard has said in previous interviews that Torp can ‘do it all’ and prefers him to play deeper. Torp has made a handful of appearances as an AM and it hasn’t gone that well.

They’re v different players. Aside from both being creative in their passing, Rudoni is much more attacking with his crosses and dribbling. Torp is more of a traditional deep lying playmaker, decent defensively, likes to pass from deep and has a good shot on him. Put it this way: if Rudoni got injured, we’d be more likely to play 4-3-3 than 4-2-3-1.

Besides, it’s doubling up on cover again. Look at how we had to change formation because Wright and then EMC got injured and we ran out of wingers. It’s a good job Simms and BTA played through injuries in Jan-Mar because we’d have ran out of strikers to play 5-3-2 even.

What I have seen in mind is an AM who is a similar profile to Rudoni and can play across the forward line (RW/AM/LW) similar to Goodrham (not necessarily him) who we’ve been linked too previously.

 

[Matt smith]

Agreed.

 

[SleepyGinger]

Sounds like we put an agreement in place that we’d sign him when he got his green card sorted. Obviously one we’ve liked for a while, think this one is likely to happen.

Didnt Torp play as a CAM against Sunderland?

 

[shmmeee]

ideal world, pushing for top 4 you’d want Torp and this guy at 8, Grimes and Sheaf at 6, plus a Rudi backup who is more an out and out 10 IMO.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Didnt Torp play as a CAM against Sunderland?

Nope, that was a 4-3-3 and Torp’s passes for Wright’s goal we’re all from deep.

 

[JSL]

Talk of 19 year old Genoa RW Seydou Fini elsewhere. Not seen it on here yet unless I've missed it

 

[Liquid Gold]

Pereira would be an unbelievable signing.

Midfield definitely not the area of most need but the sort of talent you don't turn down.
