Under King its not something that has happened and he clearly batted away offers for some of our better players in the summer. It's just not believable that its something we would do right now. Also as you say, why would anyone want to leave right now?
He said he likes small squads, i wouldn't read too much into it. I actually do too for what its worth, rather than a bloated one eating up wages, but its obvious we could do with one or two through the door to help what we have.
Of course he will. We clearly have the funds available and we were trying for a couple of others that didn't come off. We've also done something every Jan since he bought the club.
Given how well certain players have performed as wide forwards i would probably argue that another CM should be priority recruitment in Jan. Although obviously if we secure both those things its even better.
If you have Allen and Andrews as your midfield there is definitely the risk of Bannan running the show there. I think whatever we do we should have enough but certainly some tinkering required from Lampard by the sound of it.
Even having Sargent isn't doing much for them this time, much like the Blunts and Hamer. January bids for both when their clubs are both in relegation scraps?
Hard to tell before we know who's injured and who isn't. You have to feel like we should have enough whatever we do but they've been battling hard so we still need to be on it.
Agree with @clint van damme that maybe the formation change was with an eye on this one. International break looks...
He thinks predicting a win is a major gotcha as he rarely gets them. Not sure why he's windmilling at people on here as if they'll be upset that we've won :LOL:
Point still stands we shouldn't get cocky, pride comes before a fall, just ask those wankers at Blues.
