- Thread starter AFCCOVENTRY
- Start date
In which case that would be a lot of money to spend on a position where we’re already well covered.

I know, I'm not sure where I've said we can't? If we got promoted we'd need loads of new players. We also have a handful of players that could and indeed might have to, step up.

I can’t see Gus coming back
we do need a box to box midfielder though
would be a great signing
but victor Torp is fucking superb

Then who drops out at CM? Torp presumably? I just don’t see the point.

This would be an actual good signing. Not sending a life raft to O'Hare in Bluntsville.

Also would be cheaper

Ipswich went down the road of buying all the best Championship players. Clearly, not a template to follow. They went for quantity over quality.
That said, a PL side better than Sheff U should have bought Vic and Gus.

Our squad is in a healthy position where there is little to no dead wood.
if we went up this year I’d be happy with Dovin, MVE, Thomas, Kitching, Dasilva, Grimes, Torp, Rudoni, EMC, BTA, Wright and Sakamoto in the squad. New contracts for MVE, Wright ETC.
Haven’t seen enough of KKH and Woolfenden but if we decided to move them on we’d have plenty of suitors. Simms and Eccles would go for decent money to a championship team. Would have no trouble finding a home for Bidwell, Lati and Allen who are proven championship players.
I’d back the recruitment team to find 8-10 players to the that nucleus of the squad that would make us capable of staying up. Our squad is a lot better than Sunderland’s was when they went up.

We have loads of capable CMs in case we get an injury (and we’ve already had many).
If we get in a PL-calibre CM even on loan then they will expect to play every week - we’re not dropping Grimes, so does Torp get benched? I just don’t see it.

I don’t think we lost control yesterday.

I think we did once all our subs were on. Especially in midfield.

I’d love Mehmeti, we’re not known to be in for him though are we?
3 assists yesterday

You didn’t need to take Torp and Eccles off imo

In cases where we have three games in a week, being able to play someone nearer to Torp's ability as opposed to Jamie Allen's would be a clear advantage. The games where it's been just Grimes and Allen in the middle have been real hard work because it's just not Allen's game and especially not from the start.
Likewise I wouldn't be signing a winger with a view to dropping Sakamoto or EMC.

You do if you’re heading away to second in a few days. We’re going to see it more the next few months I think as games come quickly. Lampard seems to like playing players for 60/70/80 mins for a couple of the games in a three game week.

I don't think so. Their last chance to get a bit of cash for him though.

I really like the Mehmeti shout

Sheff U player of the year in the PL. Voted best player in the Championship last season. Destroyed us in both games last season. This year has been disrupted by bad management and injury.

Jimmy said yesterday we’re after a championship winger, someone suggested him as his contract is up in the summer.

I would love to see Hamer back, if he can shed a few pounds and get his fitness back I think he would be a great signing, offers us a great rotation option too as he can play all 3 roles in midfield. Torp is very good, fantastic technique, such a good player, but for me Hamer offers more as an all round midfielder. Would obviously have to be for the right money, with the season Sheff Utd are having and his extra weight, there maybe a cut price deal available, It's defiantly a signing I'd look to explore.
Matt smith

He’d be a mint signing

I cba to argue about Hamer anymore. I liked him when he was here but he's gone. He moved to a set of wankers, he's in the pomp of his career and he's at the bottom of the Championship, his career highlight was playing in one of the worst Prem sides ever and he seemingly is of little interest to teams higher up the ladder.
I'd rather concentrate on our players, I think there's a handful with better careers ahead than old Gus. Rudi and MvE for sure and I think a couple of others might surprise, Torp being one.
Allen has started three games this season. We simply don’t have the need for an expensive replacement who’s only really adding value that infrequently.
