Frustrating generally. We’ll concede loads of goals from our flanks. We actually need KKH in for MVE. Dasilva, absolute liability, possibly the worst defensive nous I’ve ever seen. Too many very poor decisions in attack. There were positives. Thought Rushworth looked good as did Rudoni and Saka...
Carbon copy of last year really. Tidy enough but not clinical. Easy to get at down either flank. Always look like we have a goal in us but easy to score against. Nothings changed.
Don’t know anything about Hughes in reality but trust in Lampard / King / team to have done the due diligence if they’re spending that much. Doesn’t indicate anything about Kitching or Thomas for me. Just means we’d have 3 starting CB’s rather than 2 which is critical.
6.5 M plus possible add ins is bang on. It’s a healthy profit. Unfortunately, being popular and engaging with the crowd at the end doesn’t add any value. Defensively he was just above average. KKH is a better player.
6-8m is what MVE is worth. We’ve probably got lower end as teams have seen we’ve bought KKH. So we need another RB now. If, as seems to be the steer on here, they don’t fetch much it shouldn’t be an issue.
But you’re never going to carry a squad with Wright, BTA, Simms and Bassette for one role. Offload Bassette and Simms then maybe. Otherwise we go as we are.
BTA is aware. I take you back to the final game of the season. Wright completely fails to play BTA in. Next play BTA wins on the half way line and puts Rudoni in for the comfort goal
