Wright - yes despite being a bit of an unknown in Lampard’s system Simms/BTA - sell or loan one. If sell then reinvest, if loan then maybe look at someone like Jayden Danns Bassette - loan

Is this the thread we talk about Doyle signing?

I'd be happy if he proves me wrong. While you're fixating on goals, I'm talking about his all round game. I used the fouls stat to back up the point about him doing nothing unless he scores. He's 6 foot 4 and can't use his body to win fouls. We're not going to agree, you're happy with...

He hit his XG with 6 goals in 43 games? - how can you not see that this is the problem? If he doesn't score, he offers nothing. He's static, you can't rely on him to relieve pressure or bring others into play. Here's a stat that you won't like. 9 fouls won in 43 games. Is that not proof that...

Here's a number, at least 4 off the bench, 10 overall. Happy?

How have I penalised him for scoring multiple goals in a game? I've been specific about what he offers in the games where he doesn't score, which you can't argue is a significant amount of games. I've said what my expectations are, someone who can have an impact and can actually push to start...

If you're insinuating that we can't get better than Simms and BTA for our formation then there's no point in carrying on this conversation. It's not a nonsense stat just because it doesn't fit your agenda. If Simms isn't scoring goals, he isn't offering anything. 80% of his games, we've been...

Are you choosing to ignore all my previous points? I said it doesn't make sense to buy someone unless we sell one of Simms/BTA. Simms - is scoring in 14 out of 89 games good for you? With majority of them starting? Salech - Simms has only had 1 good half season but you're defending him? Pick...

Piroe got 4 goals from the bench last season for the team that finished top... Michael Smith got 5 off the bench for Wednesday if you want to look further down the league. Exactly why I said someone in the Salech mould rather than him... If Cardiff can find him for £3m from abroad then why...

You're agreeing with my point, they were successful when we went to 5 at the back and played 2 up top. They don't suit the system. I'd be looking in the Salech mould, he's shown he's capable in our formation. Presses well, can hold the ball up and can finish. I've said in the transfer targets...

Target for me would be 2 wingers. Follow the success of Ipswich and Leeds the last 2 years who swapped attacking options on 60 mins. Both George and Zaroury would be great

My point was more based on Simms as you labelled him as a sub striker and used last season's goals where he played the most minutes out of any of our strikers to say he's good enough for that role. We need to identify someone who's more suited to Lampard's favoured formation rather than Simms or...

None of those top 3 were missing their starting striker for 4 months. Can you call Simms a sub striker if he played more minutes than Wright? Both him and BTA were around the 360 mins per goal mark last season. If they were actually sub strikers over the course of the season and got on for 20...

That was probably a short pass intended for Thomas

Binks being a good passer is a myth, the amount of times his long diagonals went straight out of play, his 5-10 yard short passes would be leathered at the receiving player and put them into trouble - I guess the data calls that a "successful pass"

Only seen him in one game against Spurs in the Europa league and even though they lost 3-0, he impressed. Then looked into his numbers this season and they’re off the charts. Might have matured as a player as he’s only 22, that could explain the jump this season. Looks a good ball carrier with...

A player I like the look of would be Besfort Zeneli, what would your analysis be of him? Would he suit us for a Sheaf replacement? Looks to be a good box-to-box type

His contractual release clause wasn't lowered, he had a gentleman's agreement to leave for less than it. They're not obliged to accept less than €100m

Exactly that, we need someone with the height and strength to be an option to play it long when we're defending. With Simms and Wright, it just keeps coming back. If you then manage to combine it with someone who's got in the box instincts (similar to Godden), you've got both an aerial threat...

Luka Kulenovic wouldn't be a bad option to have. 6 foot 2, Bosnian international, linked with Werder Bremen in January and had a decent season for a poor team in the Eredevisie
