I agree. I doubt we will either/

You are joking me …. At one point we were collecting misfits from around the EFL ….

I know what you mean. This isn’t a signing we make under king but every day of the week under Sisu.

I’m not saying Bamford would be a good signing but those who argue Armstrong would be because last season was a one off and the season before he did well .. 2023–24 (Championship, Leeds United League: 33 appearances, 15 goals, 1 assist. FA Cup: 3 appearances, 2 goals, unknown assists...

That’s not how human mind works though is it. He will have enjoyed that moment and I don’t blame him.

That is a romantic view I’m afraid ….

Simms isn’t that guy. He’s an introvert striker that needs confidence to perform. When he’s confident he gets shots off quickly, his first touch is better etc. When he’s lacking confidence the opposite occurs.

It’s also a little simplistic. There are no material ties between the current Chelsea manager or Frank, nor the current Chelsea Director or Football and Frank. Some of the youth players were not even living in this country when he was playing at Chelsea. It’s a business deal and sentiment...

Spot on

I take it you haven’t played at much of a level ? If you had you would know that Forwards thrive on confidence and scoring gives them that. You only have to watch Simms and Bassette play to see that they are clearly lacking confidence. It is possible we will go into the first match of the...

Not really the issue. The issue is about finding teams that you are well matched to compete against rather than being beaten easily or winning easily. It won’t however help our forwards confidence that they haven’t scored in pre season, after all they were not really firing at the end of last...

It’s a real problem finding the right level of opposition …. Too good and frankly we are getting comfortably beaten, or play Bristol rovers and win at a stroll. The upside however is that it’s still clear where we need to strengthen to have a greater likelihood of success than last season

@Jimmy87 any news ? You’re very quiet this summer.

Spot on. it’s the reason Milan was less marauding last season. We need his pace to cover across the centre half’s.

Barely had a kick on loan last season …..

I don’t think Lampard is a manager who looks to play off the cuff, he’s not Harry Redknapp. Frank wants players to play to a shape, to know their position etc. I can’t recall either Tats or Wright /EMC swapping wings mid match unless it was the outcome of a substitution.

You can see why Frank loves Tats. Tats is happy to cut inside and create the space for MVE / KKH to overlap. EMC is better at that than Wright too. wright is a bigger goal threat out wide than Tats or EMC but is worse defensively than both. I think this is why Frank plays Wright through the...

No idea what’s happened to Bidwell but he looks Half the player he used to be ….
