To be honest I wouldn’t mind binning them both (and the keeping coach) and starting completely fresh. There’s something not right with our keeping setup over the last few years.

Can't wait to watch MVE and EMC assisting SBMCTA at the CBS

I got told that was a good deal at the time on here

The only people in this thread talking about fees were discussing value, not selection

That’s what you just said? Succession planning for Wright/Simms?

That's also my point. Would I be happy if Simms and Wright are sold next summer and BTA is our #1 striker for 25/26? Not on the evidence of his last couple of seasons.

Just a nonsensical comparison. BTA is a striker, O'Hare isn't.

Simms was £3.5m + add ons, not 8. Wright was £7.7m Just not sure we needed to spend £2-3m on an average championship striker. Could have been a bit more adventurous in the market.

Just feels expensive @£2-3m.

because they’ve just come down from the prem and are likely to be top 6 this season, so will probably be big games? Not very hard to understand.

I said it was a decent signing. Just not sure he has the upside some of our others do, and it won’t be an insignificant fee. But that’s fine if it gets us promoted.

Think it’s a decent signing for where we are but will say that shelling out millions (and presumably decent wages too) on a 25 yo off the back of a fairly average season worried me slightly.

Still don’t quite understand it. But good addition as long as it doesn’t break the bank.

Don’t get your hard on for EMC, who you’ve presumably seen play for less than 2 full matches tops, over Wright who was one of our best players last season. It’s weird.

Wright wasn’t even fit to be in the squad tonight so it’s hardly a groundbreaking statement

“I’m not condoning it but” It’s fucking disgraceful, all involved should be ashamed and prosecuted.

It’s a long season, EMC will start plenty of games even if he’s not first choice from the beginning. Given Wright’s knock he might start vs Stoke anyway. But Wright was arguably our player of the season last year, he’d have to do a lot to be ahead of him in the pecking order.

Obviously last seasons form will play a part since they’ve only been in training a month and played a few friendlies.

A decent striker is a must. Right now we only have 4 proven players across the front 3 (Simms Saka Wright EMC). We need another otherwise 2 injuries means we’re starting one of Obikwu, Tavares or Rapha which isn’t great.
