I think we need another winger along with the rumoured Bertaccini. He looks like a CF to me who can be deployed wide. e.g Haji. If we lose EMC and Saka (which inevitably we shall do in spells next season) we're down to Haji, BTA and Rodrigues to play the wide roles as it stands.

A cheeky bid for Calum? Blades will be feeling the pinch having not got up last season...

And to be honest then I'd be happy. 4 quality signings. I'm sure we shall see the departure of one of the following (Allen, Simms, Bidwell, Binks) so that might free up more cash for another signing. And 1 or 2 of the following will be loaned out (Obikwu, Bassette, Rodrigues, Andrews)

If he plays 25-30 games for them though, he'll get 12+ goals.

Eccles is too similar to Sheaf & Grimes though. Allen gives us something a little different and he links better with the forward player, but he will be a back up, as it seems Frank likes Kai Andrews, so he will also be in and around the squad. If Eccles does go, we need an aggressive in your...

You'd think Binks would of learnt how to defend, playing in Italy for a couple of years. I'd keep BTA and Simms to be honest. Loan out Bassette & Obikwu, and bring in a young striker to provide competition. If Frank sees a Haji as a CF, then we need a wide left man.

Wasn't Gallacher's debut (or 2nd game) at Forest, Semi Final Leg 1 of the League Cup.? Pearce launched a sliding assault tackle (took man and ball) early on. Absolute thuggery. Would be a straight red these days.

Maddison will fall out of favour with Thomas Frank at Spurs this season. He will be our marquee signing on our return to the Premier League in one year.

No thank you. Horrendous injury record, big wages, nothing to prove. (Alex O C)

4M - Apparently we were interested in the past. That means Allen or Sheaf are off I reckon

Reading between the lines....Collins is off. Bassette & Rodrigues ( 1 year loans). And one or two of the following will be sold ( Allen, Simms, BTA, Bidwell, MVE) Then we get GK, CF and Winger.

Prefer defeats and suspect performances in pre season. Frank will get to know his team better that way. Last season's bright pre season then turned into one of the worst openings to a season I can remember. That opening Stoke game, where we barely created a chance against a piss poor team...

Yep that's how I see it. Do we have adequate back up for Sakamoto and EMC. Without putting BTA or Haji out wide? Other than that a No 1. We could take our chances on Wilson and hope Dovin is back before Xmas

I'd have Simms over Wright, BTA and Bessette, if clean through on goal in the last minute of a big game though.

Simms is at his best when he's driving at players. He's quick for a big man, and strong when he's moving forward. His passing and touch are not his strong points. His finishing is also very good. He's not missed many guilt edged chances over his 2 seasons here.

Really like it. Glad to be back in all Sky Blue, and the stripes haven't reappeared. A funky Brown away kit now please

Thomas & Kitching (over 2 seasons now) have been the pairing when we've gone on these big unbeaten runs, getting ourselves up the table. We play a high line so a big experienced. 32 year old CB is not the answer. If we can pick up an experienced, mobile 22-24 year old CB from this division...

Sheaf is looking trim, and in good shape from the pre season videos I've seen. Is a new contract still a possibility? Grimes, Rudoni and a fully firing Ben Sheaf for 25/26. Don't think they'd be any better midfields in the division. You'd think playing for Frank Lampard would be hard to...

Always liked Simms as a player, but if we're not going to play to his strengths then there's no point in him staying on. He's not a target man, or link player. He's a CF that needs the ball played ahead of him, and is probably more effective with a partner. BTA and Simms were doing a good job...

They played together up front against Luton last season, and were both unplayable.
