Ipswich loaned Kieffer moore when they went up to get them over the line.

We should do similar, regardless of the cost

I'm sure we will get a few in. Doug said in his Xmas message that it will probably never be better than this. He's right, and so he must know that he has to gamble. He's be crazy not to really.

Recent results have been ok, but not what we need, but. It's clear that the squad size is the biggest issue. Frank hasn't exactly been shy about saying it publicly.

Esse would be a big upgrade on Sakamoto too.

Would people be happy with Piroe if it meant we had to pay £10m fee upon promotion?

I wonder... like with the goalkeepers... he'll take over his song.

Esse on the wing... Romain Esse on the wing.

Our superstar from South London.

Perhaps not!

Esse, George, Neill

also surprisingly a LWB, and a CF, LWB least likely and CF depending on other ‘internal’ matters

Yes because we could sell him for atleast £6m/£7m and the £3m loss would be a drop in the ocean compared to us getting over the line

I hope not, the copy & pasted songs across the EFL is an atmosphere killer imo. The same songs get sung by both home and away fans…

That’s without starting on the ‘football in a library’ chat…

Sakamoto’s song at his old club was much better, catchier and not a cheap copy of the Celtic song.

The ‘Brau this song is about you’ is pretty basic but it’s unique and culturally relevant given how close The Enemy is to the club, quite cool.

Not saying this will happen at all but a starting 11 of:

Rushwood

MVE Kitching Thomas JDS

Grimes Eccles

Rudoni

Esse Piroe EMC

with Saka, Torp, KKH, Simms, Wolf, Torp ready to step off the bench would put us in a great position.

Starting Eccles as a defensive midfielder with Grimes as we've been over-run in the centre of the park in recent games and we have lost control - I also see his best position as a 6. Not sure Torp gives us that control that we badly need right now.

If Leeds could get 6/7m for him now they would snap your hand off. The only way they will beable to off load him is by taking advantage of a desperate team in January. I don’t think that will be us.

We probably have a decent transfer budget and the chance to play under Lampard will be a big plus.

Eh?

He’s 26 and a proven goalscorer in the champ. I’d spend £6m on him tomorrow.

Its amazing what a bit of competition for places will do (once we get the players in)

It will drive current players and add game changung substitutions. Badly needed.

It was really interesting to see Kitching bombing down left hand side yesterday.
His delivery and range of passing is better than Bidwell and Brau.so i wouldnt be surprised to see either of those leave.

Can see Bidwell being picked up by Portsmouth/Oxford. Or a decent league 1 team.

are we signing a new keeper?

also Eccles is fine off the bench, or occasionally at 10 on a good day, but I’m absolutely not buying that he’s better than Torp

Will King had to be rushed to A&E when he slipped while shaving the piece of skin between his ballsack and his arsehole. Really stunned the dressing room and they did well to battle for a point after hearing that imo.
