Tyrique George

Not linked with any strikers yet and that is likely to be the most difficult position to successfully fill.

You might be right but I suspect the club want 2 new left backs …. When the club were discussing recruitment last summer and in January I’d be amazed if they didn’t conclude neither existing full back was up to the job. to be fair JDS was excellent in the run in but as you say the scouting...

I don’t think it is . Brau is a left back. A handful of games in an alternative position doesn’t count unless you think Rudi and Kitch are left backs ??

Yes. He takes it off their central defenders unless they are chasing the game then they push him forward in the hole, which is not ideal as he can barely see out if it.

Well he ran the midfield against us at home when he came on ….changed the match. He doesn’t have legs but his football brain is very good. an interesting option off the bench but is he too similar to Grimes ??

A left back who has played left centre half in a 3 …. Sounds like a player @Saddlebrains was describing

Possibly. I think there will be pressure from owners to managers and the recruitment team not to follow the path of Iosw, Saints, etc and buy the best of the championship. It just doesn’t work: You may well be right on Doyle but I think some will try a different approach.

General rule of thumb is that a free transfer ( Bosman rather than club not wanting to renew ) is that it’s 10-15% cheaper for the club than if they had paid the transfer fee. The player / agent gets a significant signing on fee and inflated wages in return for the club not paying a transfer...

Signing on fees though of course.

Leicester won’t be buying Doyle

Christ Admin didn’t spend long on that reveal …..

Glad you’re not in charge of recruitment 😃

Jesus wept. You couldn’t make this shit up.

Yes you are right the age bar as certainly lowered. We don’t yet have the talent coming through at that age to test whether we would blood them or not. I don’t think Robins would have done but Frank might if he believes the player is capable.

C ant see why we are inked ( ex lampsrd player ) or why we would want cover for Rudi ?

I think we can say now that Yamal isn’t hype.

kitch is limited and we can also see it. turning ability poor, pace lacking, liable to get sucked into a red card, and switched off completely to give Ballard a free header. a good honest championship defender but no more than that.

The thing is with the summer window you go weeks with no confirmed signings, and very little informed speculation then July appears and you seem to be watching you tube videos of a different new signing every week or so …. That’s when the excitement for the new season starts to really build I think.

The hard yards are done by Austin and King not Lampard. Frank will still be taking calls / video meetings on holiday trying to move deals along. This is not 1990. Deals take time, and deals where we are trying to punch above our weight take even more time.
