Is it still 5 loans max in a match day squad?
His goals have been v important and it’s something he’d not really done under Robins. I can’t recall him scoring outside of the box in 22/23 or 23/24 (maybe Birmingham at home in 22/23) but under Lampard he’s kicked on.Totally agree, was never a huge fan, but he has come on leaps and bounds since FL has been here. A big part of why we are top of the league.
Esse would 100% start for us, miles better than Sakamoto. YMK would be a rotation option. With the latter, he’s only played 15/25 games so that’s where Spurs’ frustration lies rather than the minutes.Are Esse or Yang backup?
I'd be disgusted with that sort of signing. He's a terrible player.I'd definitely be happy with Neil or Cirkin if we're looking at players promoted with Sunderland, not sure about O'Nien tbh, i'd support him but he's a bit of a bell and he's not very good. Kind of signing i'd expect from Birmingham, who are reportedly interested.
Well he isnt as good as EMC so surely Yang is the backupEsse would 100% start for us, miles better than Sakamoto. YMK would be a rotation option. With the latter, he’s only played 15/25 games so that’s where Spurs’ frustration lies rather than the minutes.
That’s what rotation option means… I can’t imagine we’ve promised Spurs he’ll start for us.Well he isnt as good as EMC so surely Yang is the backup
Well yes this is the point I'm trying to get at for those arguing that players wont come as "backups"That’s what rotation option means… I can’t imagine we’ve promised Spurs he’ll start for us.
Yes, but United would want him to start every week which isn't going to happen here. JDS has been one of the best players in the team that are top of the league. We aren't going to be bringing in a new first LB and JDS will start most games, yes a new LB would be nice but I can't see it being Amass as he wouldn't get the games United would want.
He ent good enough to have the ego he has, id be disappointed if we signed him.O’Nein is a prick, but if he joins then he’s our prick
ewWe are in for O’Nien. Confirmed.
One of my mates works with his best mate.
I never post these, so before you all jump on it….
he’s open to it and we have made approach but that’s all I know.
Thing is though, will Frank rotate him? We've had a rotation player for RB sat on the bench all season whilst Frank has whipped MVE for 90 mins every week.A backup and a player who rotates is totally different.
He will be here to play in games where Da Silva needs resting and vice versa, and games where his profile better matches the opposition.
I'm sure United would rather him be at a team who are at the top of the league playing better football
He’s an absolute shit house - but off the pitch he’s supposed to be an incredibly nice humble dude in contrast.O’Nein is a prick, but if he joins then he’s our prick
Maybe latibeaudiere is goingew
Where would we use him? CB? Woolf basically bombed out then?
Well thats a different story entirely.Thing is though, will Frank rotate him? We've had a rotation player for RB sat on the bench all season whilst Frank has whipped MVE for 90 mins every week.

Brilliant, we could bring in the pope if we want a nice humble dudeHe’s an absolute shit house - but off the pitch he’s supposed to be an incredibly nice humble dude in contrast.
I don’t rate him one bit as a player though.

I mean - didn’t say we should sign him did IBrilliant, we could bring in the pope if we want a nice humble dude
This window is somewhat different.Well yes this is the point I'm trying to get at for those arguing that players wont come as "backups"

I'd back him to have a better first touch than O'NeinNot sure he can play CM tbh

I do think Torp and Rudoni are better players, but it’s a squad game and whenever Eccles has played, there’s been no marked downgrade.
To stick up for Allen, he’s a player I’d happily have let go the last 2 summers. Firstly, I was wrong. He fills an important niche role wherever we need energy in midfield, typically when holding onto a lead. Granted, he’s not a ‘game changer’ if we’re losing and need a goal but that doesn’t mean his role isn’t important. In every squad, you need players who can play a limited role and be happy with it and Allen won’t banging on Lampard’s door to play every minute of every game.
I’d sign a CM because we need a different profile and just a bit more depth. Eccles can cover CM and AM but what happens when injuries pile up?
Of course Connor Chaplin hasn't turned rubbish overnight..... he's just always been rubbish!This window is somewhat different.
If we're signing players permanently, the club needs to believe they can make the step up to the Prem. Signing players on loan is a different kettle of fish, these are players that can contribute right now to get us over the line. When Ipswich signed Keiffer Moore in 23/24, for example, he wasn't a starter every week but an invaluable impact sub. We could do with signing players like that this window but I'd argue we were still building the squad 2023-2025. With promotion on the cards, there's a strategic need to expedite the process and this is something King, Lampard and Austin realise.
YMK will get minutes because Lampard has said several times that we manage EMC's minutes and frankly, you're probably not signing a winger better than EMC in Jan. From my POV, this signing could be a dark horse, he's got some decent underlying numbers and in a better team than Pompey, he could do some good work. For context, Conor Chaplin is yet to score or assist for Pompey this season and suspect that isn't because he's turned rubbish overnight.
Esse and other players we're looking at you'd expect will start or at least be pushing for starting berth.
He can deliver a decent cross tbfNot sure he can play CM tbh
No better than the pricks we already have.O’Nein is a prick, but if he joins then he’s our prick
Latibeaudiere has played twice this season. Being fourth choice CB is clearly not an area of great need.Maybe latibeaudiere is going
