But with us having Simms, Wright and even BTA, would he get regular minutes here as the 9?

Following a series of transfers that have been exceptional, we only seem linked so far with young forwards with very good potential and an unnamed winger from the Championship.
Grimes was an amazing signing and the only recent one that hasn't taken time to settle.
Our Summer signings are still trying to get up to speed. KKH apparently has been a shadow of the player he was at Preston. Possibly his lack of minutes, or adapting to a new more attacking style that leaves him in more one on one situations is the reason.
Wolfie is yet to look a player in a Championship promotion side. He has looked better in a three at the back set up so far.
Both look fine as subs where their fitness gives them the edge.
Brau does not look as if he is living up to expectations.
Think we may have to accept that new players bought in January may not make the immediate impact some people expect, especially if coming from abroad.
Looking over the last couple of seasons and how quickly players looked good in this league, it may be the best we can hope for is some really good subs. Unless the rumoured Championship winger is very good indeed.

When on form. Which he hasn't been for a while. Although he's scored tonight at Celtic.

Evan Ferguson walks into our team but it seems highly unrealistic.

Coventry inte längre i ledning om guldhjälten

Intresset är stort för Mjällbys Abdoulie Manneh. I nuläget uppges inte tidigare utpekade Coventry vara det hetaste alternativet.
fotbolldirekt.se

According to reports Coventry City have dropped down the pecking order for Manneh. No club named but there's far more Championship clubs that could offer a better deal and if it's concrete Premier League we have no chance. The reality is we're punching well above our weight in terms of budget and squad size.

Was it unrealistic before his first goal or second goal tonight?

Don’t know why you’d spend that kind of money on a player like Ferguson when you already have two strong starting options up front in a one-striker system. If you want anyone up front it’s a depth option who’s not expecting to start straight away.

Agreed... let's get back on track at looking at realistic signings like a back up RW for Tats... which I think should be Rodrygo of Real Madrid.

How can you possibly know that? All we have are rumours from questionable accounts online.

Just out of interest, what's wrong with his personality?

No different to a couple in our squad already. Just a fair bit more famous.

According to reports his club suspended talks with us to tout the player around other clubs to try and up the price. His agent, again reportedly, was content with this - may even have encouraged it - to try and get a better wage package.

Desirable - midfield depth
If possible - back up 10

We need a striker that’s different to what we have. BTA and Haji are injury prone leaving us just with Simms. We need a 4th striker. Too much of a risk for the 2nd half of the season.

Here are just a couple:




I feel reasonably confident that I won't happen. It sounds as if the player just wants the most money, rather than being committed to our project. Fair enough if that's his view but if so I'm not sure that I want him anyway if he's just a mercenary. We seem to have a great attitude within the squad and I would hate to see anything that upsets that.

Manneh Out! Even if he does sign i bet he doesn't smile in his official signing picture. It's not good enough honestly.

This forum has always had a very vocal minority of people who feast on negativity as well as people who just enjoy being contrarian. Hilarious how little it takes for them all to surface for air again. I just know what it'll be like on here if we do get to them Prem and we are losing more often than not.

Its remminiscent of a few doing the rounds, it's a police badge or a reform symbol?

I bet the first ‘Lampard out’ thread appears within two months.
