Elated! Thought Wilson, MVE and Thomas made a massive difference. Sheaf was everywhere today, Grimes composed as ever. Wilson and Rudoni the obvious stand outs for me. Great cameo from BTA, really pleased for him. Obviously i know he wouldn't be able to sustain that work rate for a long...

Also, even if Lampard and co have looked at it and thought he's not going to make the cut or whatever, it's not as easy as just saying let's offload them, when they haven't had many minutes in the shop window, contract lengths and wages etc to factor in. Have a friendly wager with a friend...

No idea, he'll usually tell me when talks are advanced. To buy him outright would cost a fare bit though, do you think? Surely Man City have decided by now whether they think he will make it. Wages could be an issue as we have a structure.

Yeah, definitely makes sense. He's not gotten international call ups for no reason. There is obviously something there, but he needs that experience in a league like this. Binks, no idea what will happen there, i've asked the question as intrigued myself, to no avail though. He's a high earner...

Exactly. Again i suppose a lot rides on where we end up.

Do you think maybe it's because when he gets an opportunity, that he is maybe too keen to try and impress and doesn't follow instruction. I get that feeling. He's young and raw, hopefully he will learn, maybe he would benefit from a loan?

He did, was really professional about it, i think Lampard even came out and said that if i remember correctly.

I believe Bassette has been told he needs to train better and with the right attitude / application when he is not getting minutes.

Yeah exactly, i suppose you can't hold it against a player who wants to play football, plenty are happy to sit picking up wages, admirable that they are vocal about it. At least they are not disruptive with it, the last thing you need is bad eggs in the dressing room. I suppose it will all...

He didn't give me a name yet, just that we have identified a LB who can also play LCB, whether we go up or not. I messaged Saddle and asked if he had heard, but this was a while back, i think someone said he knows the name now.

Agreed. Just going by things i've heard, i think we'll see the following leave: Lati - Not a fan of sitting on the bench and is vocal in that (not in a disruptive way), wants minutes. BTA - Same as above, had the Blackburn approach in January. Eustace likes him and so does MR. Bidwell / JDS -...

Yeah, could end up being a pill we have to swallow. You never know, maybe DK could use his negotiating skills to use him in a part exchange :sneaky:

Yeah the poster above was thinking along those lines too it seems, hadn't thought of that scenario. That would be frustrating as the wages could be spent elsewhere but needs must. Ultimately we need a keeper that the back line are comfortable with behind them, if we want to compete. Like you...

Good point. I'm sure they will have a plan, well i hope so.

Can't see anyone coming in for Collins personally. Baffled as to why they extended Wilson if he's not going to play, unless they know of potential interest in him and are thinking they can make a profit.

Agreed, i think they will bring someone in. The only thing i think may be a problem is whether or not anyone would come in for him. Think he's contracted till 2026 if i'm not mistaken? Having just extended Wilson, that would mean 4 keepers on the books.

100%, perhaps we'll go for someone out of contract come the summer.

Yeah i agree man, i've said all along that my guy is under the impression that Lampard was told he would be backed and i think that showed in January with the signing of Grimes, he isn't afraid to back him, it just sounds like he wants to build on what we have and only offload the necessary...

Yeah precisely, not looking to insult them in any way. Just looking at the teams at the top end of the table, it's what we need. I'd love to see us bring in 2 wingers with pace, not afraid to take on a player time and time again. I, like most people i sit with, am fed up with the not taking on a...

Most definitely, when you look at the best teams, they have these types of players. Aside from Piroe, there hasn't been a prolific championship out and out striker this season, you have the likes of Sainz and Brownhill in there, a fair few number 10's, wingers etc, all players that can provide...
