Exactly - those who want to bizarrely penny pinch & not want us to make any signings to get us over the line are either thick or have only started following football this season
I would be very surprised if the club didn't strengthen in the January window. The golden opportunity to get automatic promotion to the the PL . No point in gambling by not making the necessary signings.
He's on big wages. They signed him in the Prem. I wonder if they have financial problems? They seem to be trying to shift a fair few players if reports are correct.Just read Ipswich are apparently open to selling Szmodicz - surely be worth a punt
Ahhh it's all making sense! I was wondering who the Cov fans people accuse of being arrogant were
Again stop counting your chickens11pts could evaporate quicker than you imagine. it's pure madness not to want cover. Borderline trolling I reckon so not going to nibble anymore. Snug in my trust that Lampard will feel the same way
What's your point? Lose to Swansea and Ipswich it could be a a 6pt gap.
Negative?Negative to think we can't afford a few re enforcements if anything
We’re supposedly in pole position to sign Leo Castledine (unsure if loan or perm) from Chelsea when he gets recalled from Huddersfield in January.
Beaten Bristol City to him.
Where has that come from? Saw yesterday on X that Bristol were favourites for him to go there.We’re supposedly in pole position to sign Leo Castledine (unsure if loan or perm) from Chelsea when he gets recalled from Huddersfield in January.

Tats is currently injured or ill.We have to be honest and ask if whoever we got in as a RW would play ahead of Tats. I'm sure the answer is no as we only need cover. Therefore we don't need to spend millions. A loan or talented L1 player would suffice (as long as they are better than Rafa) Spending big comes after promotion
Bling cheaping out on Mcneil and getting a young L1 kid is extremely concerning
Why?I wouldn’t want McNeil.

Why?
Makes me a tad nervous taking someone from L1 at this stage and in this position. Louie Barry was tearing the division to shreds this time a year ago but subsequent moves in the Championship have been flops.
Keep in mind that EMC came from League 1
And he was the best player in the league, which this season Cozier-Duberry I think has been the best from what I’ve seen on social mediaKeep in mind that EMC came from League 1
Castledine looks to be doing at least as well on the face of it. Regardless i think loaning either would be totally pointless, if we want to pay a small fee then crack on.And he was the best player in the league, which this season Cozier-Duberry I think has been the best from what I’ve seen on social media
If we buy a young player for a relatively small fee i have no problem with that at all. He can help us out a bit now hopefully and he can either develop into a player who can play regularly for us or he can develop at least enough to sell for a profit. Decent clubs do this. What i would say is...
A. A loan for that kind of player would be totally pointless.
B. We'd obviously need more than just that in Jan, which i'm sure the club is aware of.
Yep I'd take him on a fee of a million or less but just a straight loan doesnt really helpCastledine looks to be doing at least as well on the face of it. Regardless i think loaning either would be totally pointless, if we want to pay a small fee then crack on.
Doug doesn't do loans unless there is an end game anyway. I fully expect to see Rushworth join in the summer.Yeah any loans we take on, need to be as good or better than we've already got. A development loan, is not what we need now. We need established players who need minutes.
I’d be looking to the league above rather than the league below for players to get us over the line.Yeah any loans we take on, need to be as good or better than we've already got. A development loan, is not what we need now. We need established players who need minutes.
I think a young prospect with the potential to play at a higher level makes a lot of sense for a loan deal, this team needs occasional support not urgent improvement.Yeah any loans we take on, need to be as good or better than we've already got. A development loan, is not what we need now. We need established players who need minutes.
More than one way to skin a cat. We could do what we did last Jan and buy the best player from a rival from within the same division. The absolute meltdown it causes in the opposing fanbase is medicine to me.I’d be looking to the league above rather than the league below for players to get us over the line.
He was going good last season when he started playing on the left before he got injuredAnd it’s taken him a season to get going
He also underperformed his xG and xA numbers, he scored comfortably be a 15 goals and assists winger in this division. Thats what the numbers told us last season (6.39 xG and 5.28 xA) and EMC is currently over performing his xG (4.12) and slightly underperforming the xA marginally (2.19).He was going good last season when he started playing on the left before he got injured
I’d say he was good under Robins, like a few other players, was a casualty of MR not knowing what his best team was and chopping and changing constantly.EMC was pretty good from the off under Lampard tbf.
I think Castledine is more of a 10 with CD being a RW/LW (mainly Right) CD dribbling stats are really something and his creativity stats.Castledine looks to be doing at least as well on the face of it. Regardless i think loaning either would be totally pointless, if we want to pay a small fee then crack on.
I think Robins kept trying to shoehorn him in at RW which Mac Anthony said at Peterborough he was cottage cheese on the right but fine wine on the leftI’d say he was good under Robins, like a few other players, was a casualty of MR not knowing what his best team was and chopping and changing constantly.
I don't know why Shmmeee has laughed at this. He was performing well as soon as Lampard came in and was clearly one of Franks favourites.EMC was pretty good from the off under Lampard tbf.
