Yeah for all the talk of a Striker, we have 4 so need to shift 2 before we can seriously talk about that It’s on the wing where we don’t have enough depth

Yeah we have a guy who has proven he can be top goalscorer in this league - time for the coaching staff (and medical team) to draw it out of him

I know you're the resident WUM but if the only change to the 11 at the end of August is Rushworth then I'll be disappointed Adding 3 improved starters each summer should be the aim (as per Ian Graham)

We tried to sign experienced players with no re-sale value before Grimes - there was no shift in the model, we just finally agreed a deal that was acceptable to us

It is a very different situation at Chelsea now - Lampard had a lot closer ties to the previous regime than this one There is also that Derby were willing to pay high wages for the loans - something Doug won't do

If we got him I'd start thinking about autos There is no way though - said he didn't want to join Ipswich so must want a prem team

Glad to have GK sorted - when you look at how instrumental Trafford/Cooper were last season it was ridiculous that people wanted Wilson to play for 3-5 months

Parish has implied that its Forests threat of legal action that has caused the decision. UEFA have followed the rules to make sure they can't be sued Bad form from Forest as Palace deserve it but I think most prem clubs would do the same because of the potential prize money (Man U got £26.6m in...

We got 13 points in the last 10 games of last season and we're going in with the same 11 Nobody would be happy with that return in the first 10 games and it would be considered a slow start

That team finishes between 5th-9th (depending on luck) like the last 3 seasons. Unless Lampard has worked wonders in pre-season the side still struggles against low-blocks, concedes silly goals & can't compete with the big boys so won't be favourites for the play-offs

Think it was basically a second string squad so doesn’t guarantee he’ll be in the next one

I agree with most of what you are saying & ties in with Lampard talking about needing to develop different ways to attack With the Leeds comparison - it helps a lot that they are playing it into Piroe who you can trust to play it into. I think if we had a player like him we would play it into...

EMC was the target for most of our long balls against Sunderland in the second leg - and I thought he dealt with them well Was against Hume who is 5''9 mind

Could just be that we've opened talks with Austin to see what a deal would be - but would only press forward with it if we actually shift someone (Sheaf, Eccles, Allen). Clubs do this all the time What is worrying is that someone seems to have leaked it - meaning they're probably trying to drum...

Yeah makes sense while we have 3 LBs and 1 LW to give them all 45 mins by playing Brau there. Personally though I'd be playing Brau at LB and JDS at LW so Brau can get used to the high-line and the expectations of him (which JDS already knows) Won't be until the Betis/St. Pauli games that we...

Besiktas had a deal for him that fell through - could they afford MvE?

There were people on here after we signed Grimes arguing that Sheaf would be benched, only for him to play every game once fit What is evident is that he only manages 30-35 games, ideally he wouldn’t start twice in a week. To compensate for that you need solid backups

What is an acceptable fee for someone to be on the bench? Is Simms not allowed on the bench because he cost more than 3m? We should drop Saka to the bench and play BTA as he cost 3m. You need a squad. We had to bring on Allen in the play offs last year ffs

It isn’t that wild

Tbf to him he's made 133 appearance in a top-half Championship team & going into next season is 5th choice (6th if we sign this lad) Got every right to push for first-team football somewhere else
