    Summer Transfer Window

    I think it’s doable though if you look at other teams. Some will be cheaper, maybe the odd free, some will be more expensive. But if you can get Grimes for 3.5-4m you can get a quality CM for £5m and a quality CB for £4m and they’re the main signings. I’d want lots of choice up front so we can...

    Summer Transfer Window

    Got to sign another keeper unless you give Wilson another contract. I don’t expect Dovin to be out much and I’d hope the academy product proves better.

    Lats has played more minutes than most and will almost certainly play against QPR, so extra strange to stick him in a more physically demanding position IMO. All I can think is he wanted someone more defensively capable to balance Dasilva on the other side with Saka offering attacking threat on...

    Summer Transfer Window

    I think so. Might get a bit less for MvE or Sheaf and a bit more for the others, we did get £1m for Kasey Palmer with a year left. But overall £25m ish seems reasonable for the result of a new manager clear out.

    Summer Transfer Window

    Id hope we can keep Wright another year mostly cos of his injury and the fact he’s on a longer contract.

    Summer Transfer Window

    In all seriousness do think the outs are realistic values. And I think Lampard will want to to fill out the squad. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Summer 23 levels of turnover

    Summer Transfer Window

    Course it is. Just take over the opposition teams temporarily and bump the fees up/accept bids before quitting. Done it loads ;)

    Summer Transfer Window

    I think I’d go for 11 in: RB - loan RB - £2m - Young challenger for loanee we can develop CB - £4m - Leader and organiser (who can also defend CB - £2m someone with pace LB - £2m - Young attacking alternative to Bidwell DM - £1m - Grimes understudy CM - £5m - Marquee quality signing dynamic box...

    Summer Transfer Window

    As one window closes, speculation about the next one opening begins. Like shopping while hungry, I find thinking about squad rebuilds on the back of two defeats to superior opposition a great idea, and thought I’d start the discussion from a sound fact based foundation. On that note, here’s a...

    Very League One I thought. Leeds fans too. Club bigger than they are.

    Immigration is second only to the economy on voter concerns. With 44%, just above the NHS.

    £3.5-4m according to reports, which makes him more comparable to MvE and Simms though they were both significantly younger. Kitching and EMC perhaps. Both a touch more I think but a touch younger too.

    Lati off?

    Its the same ear plus a much better whatever the equivalent of a goalkeeper is in ear terms.

    2 22 year olds for the cost of one 29 year old (less I think Thomas £2m and Binks £1.3M) isn’t crazy. The players we’ve signed have been poor across the board. First touch and general ability on the ball is some of the worst I’ve seen even for the better players. And the ones with good technique...

    Lati off?

    I know you’ve got this weird thing so I’ll leave you to it. We need a coach, whatever his job title, who knows how to set a defence up. We haven’t had one since Lawrence left clearly.

    Cheer up

    One position in particular it seems…

    Lati off?

    What? A coach who can set up a defence? Yeah I’m fairly sure they exist. We had one last season.

    Because people in this thread keep saying we can’t expect a good performance against teams above us in the pyramid.

    He probably would play better under a decent manager, true :P

    Can we sign a defensive coach first?
