Dougs just put £15 million in
One may still be on the books come the start of the season but not both.
Do you really think FL rates either of them?
They simply aren't good enough, we ALL know that and so does Frank and his staff.
He would be dominant at this level if he could stay fit but I imagine his injuries have set him back for good, and he’ll get a PL move anyway.Am I missing something? DCL - 3 goals in 26 games? No thanks
He’s a yesterday man imo. For the wages he’d want, it’d be an expensive signing for us and he’s been plagued by injuries. Hard pass.If he stayed fit he'd be great, he's just too fragile and I think it's now affecting his game
The problem is that the operative word there is ‘if’.He would be dominant at this level if he could stay fit but I imagine his injuries have set him back for good, and he’ll get a PL move anyway.
Considering how many we conceded last season (and many avoidable goals at that) I wonder if perhaps his focus might be more on shoring things up at the back. Not saying our options up front are great, but I think making us harder to beat might be more important than trying to outscore our opponents.The playoffs are the minimum aim. But they can't say the auto's are included as we then expect them to happen.
Lampard's squad will be a top 6 squad. The question is can he make a top 2 side from a top 6 squad. Get it right up front and I think we can.
Football is all about opinions TR85Calvert-Lewin has been poor at Prem standard recently, hence I'm not entirely certain a Prem club goes for him. But to suggest he's no better than Simms or BTA is mental.
I fully agree with this we never really struggled for goals last season at allConsidering how many we conceded last season (and many avoidable goals at that) I wonder if perhaps his focus might be more on shoring things up at the back.

You heard something?Tyrhys Dolan
Read somewhere we were 18th budget wise, then we sold Vic and Gus, had a good cup run and jumped to 8th.The play offs is the aim. 3 out of 5 seasons. And you hope we luck out in the playoffs.
People forget we have a bottom half budget

Think we had a higher average attendance than both Norwich and Boro last season.Read somewhere we were 18th budget wise, then we sold Vic and Gus, had a good cup run and jumped to 8th.
If those two move on again, with increased gates, playoff income, merch, matchday income and increased TV revenue, we must hopefully be above half-way.
Three parachute payment clubs and just Sheff U still with payments? way above us. Unsure about claims for Brum and Wrexham. Rest are much of a muchness with only a few getting bigger gates than us. Think Derby, Boro and Norwich get bigger home gates.
Not owning our ground will be a drag on income especially with Mike Ashley appearing to play hardball.

Would Dolan be coming in as a 9 or to compete with Sakamoto i wonder...
Greedy but I'd like Dolan AND a Number 9 with one of Simms/BTA going.
Interesting so we’d haveI assume he would be wing competition for both EMC and Sakamoto.
I just can’t see Simms with us next season now after his end to the season so I think a new 9 will come in this summer too and Simms to go.
12 yellow cards in 42 appearances, that takes some doing.Tyrhys Dolan

Dolan
eMC
Sakamoto
Wright
BTA
Bassette
for 3 front places. Couple can play alternate positions too.
would ideally like a new ST in
We looked at Dolan last season too, iirc! It wouldn’t surprise me if we went back in for him. Shows continuity with the recruitment strategy which is a good sign too.Dolan would of been a lot of fans wanted list, if it turns out true would be an very good addition to the squad.
Lets see who else rocks up at Ryton.
£4M + BTAHe is very lively, quick feet and looks like his 1st thought is to be to be positive with the ball. No reason why every club would have looked at him at some point. But he is valued 7 or 8 mill worth. If Doug and FL pull this one off can only be a good sign of the standard others to come.
he’s 23 and blackburn offered him a contract so there would be a compensation feeDolan is out of contract would be a free signing its about sign on fees and wages
qpr paid a 900k compensation fee for poku so it’s significantly more than a minimal feeBlackburn will get a training compensation no matter where he goes. But its a minimal fee and not close to his market value if he was under contract. Its a big if but if we do get this one, it will be a steal and would be a big statement as all the top clubs in this division would have been in for him.
£900k is a minimal fee nowadays !qpr paid a 900k compensation fee for poku so it’s significantly more than a minimal fee
Would be a good pick up, young player with a lot of potential. Can play on the wing or down the middle. Excited just to have a rumour on hereTyrhys Dolan
