I don't think he replaces BTA, he competes with Sakamoto.

Struggling to understand this. Does it basically say don't upgrade now in case we get promoted this season and have to upgrade next summer anyway? Genuinely makes no sense honestly.

The good news is boys the arguments about what we need more will likely prove completely irrelevant when we end up signing the 6/7 new players i predicted a while back. Anyone who thought/thinks Lampard would be happy adding around 3 new players to the group will end up being way off, wouldn't...

It could be a very interesting season for Wright in that, if we do bring in a 'marquee' CF i'm not sure he's a nailed on starter every week, given that imo a least, Lampard prefers EMC on the left. I'm sure he'd still play loads and we'd shuffle the pack up front to keep everyone fresh but if...

I'm sure its Lampards idea, someone of that stature wouldn't get cucked by a Championship striker. It's just whether it was his idea because he likes Wright there, or whether it was his idea because Simms and BTA don't really do anything for him, which you couldn't blame him for. Lets face it...

I'm not sure we know yet if he was playing Wright as CF because he really wants to or because he just didn't rate the other options. I guess we'll find out soon. His versatility is a good thing either way.

Depends on what's available. Money isn't infinite which is why i feel if we really want to kick on we sell MvE for the big bucks. If we can upgrade Kitching or Thomas then great, why wouldn't we. If we can only afford to upgrade Lati or Binks that's also ok, as i'd happily never have to watch...

Strikers are more fun to discuss tbf and i don't really think the fact we scored a lot as a team should hide the fact that most our CFs weren't very good. Like Rudoni scored loads so lay off Simms doesn't wash with me. I'd be genuinely amazed if Lampard didn't bring in a least 1 while moving on...

We need a chart ranking the speed of Championship CBs. I know some egghead on here can find one somewhere.

Think we can all agree that even if we don't have the money to seriously spunk out on someone like Doyle that we still need to bring in at least one capable of challenging the 2 CBs for a place in the team. Can't see any way back in for Lati or Binks other than covering for injuries, we've seen...

He's a good player and i wouldn't be that bothered if we went in with Thomas and Kitching, but i do get the feeling we'll look at that LCB spot. Think its simplistic to look at defensive calamities and point at them 2 but there was a lot going on last season from messing around with the CBs...

He'll stick with Thomas and look to upgrade Kitching imo. Kitching isn't bad btw, at all. Walks into a lot of other teams in this league but if we want to kick on again it'll be something we look at.

Still think a loan is the smart thing to do. We can't get everything ready for the season then start dropping early points all over the place because our backup keepers love to chuck one in.

Wright doing a lot of heavy lifting in that good as any in the league strikeforce there.

Might get AI to knock up some images today if work is boring.

Any possibility of some Doug King merchandise? Thinking t-shirts, I'm picturing a print of his face on the King of Clubs playing card but even something as simple as a big picture of his head wearing a crown with the words 'long live the King' would do.

Bassette came from Caen in France tbf.

If we're genuinely in for him Derby and Bristol City pose about as much threat to us as Warwick Davis does to Mike Tyson. I guess we'll soon find out if new ITKs can be cast to one side.

I agree. Allen will be available for a small fee, someone would have to pay up if they wanted Eccles, or he stays, which is fine.

Good point, it would be nice if one of our youngsters came through i must admit. Kind of hope you're right.
