I reckon Rodrigues will be moved on too

Yes true. Can see him going on loan.

For me this would be the window we need.

I don't really want Sheaf or Haji to go, but it may be needed to balance the squad.

Leaving:
Collins (Free)
Bidwell (nominal fee)
Binks (500k)
Lati (500k)
Burroughs (Free)
Sheaf (£5m)
Eccles (£3-4m)
Simms (£2-3m)
BTA (£3m)
Wright (£12m)
Paterson (Free)

That gives us along with some Gyokeres money around £30m to play with without Mr King having to put any money in.

We need 2 quality strikers with different qualities. One like a Morris or Moore with youth on their side, a focal point for us to aim for.
We also need one in the ilk of a mayenda or isiodor, with a bit of pace and trickery.

We would need 2 CM's in my opinion.
One as an understudy to Rudoni and another as a box to box all action midfielder.
Left back after his end to the season I wouldnt be opposed to JDS staying and being back up, but we need a dynamic powerful fullback

We need 2 CB. I personally quite like Thomas and Kitching together despite the odd mistake. One brick shit house with pace, and a young development centre back should suffice.

That would be a good start.

Leaving:

Collins
Bidwell
Binks - Think he’ll stay as understudy

Lati
Burroughs

Sheaf - Cant see who buys him from the league above no chance we sell him within our league. Think he stays.

Eccles
Simms
BTA - Think he stays as understudy

Wright - Difficult one to call, if someone in the states buys him then could see it happening, dont think he would have suitors elsewhere and may not want to risk being unsettled in a new club/country in a home world cup year.

Paterson

The squad needs a major overhaul in the summer, which is going to be difficult with so many on long contracts. We lack depth and quality in a number of positions, and it's quite clear Lampard doesn't trust/rate the squad.

I wouldn’t say major overhaul

the core of the team is there

 

[fernandopartridge]

Yes true. Can see him going on loan.

I think he'll be released if we can, genuinely

The core is there but beyond that, it's not great.
- CBs- Lati and Binks aren't great
- No cover at right back
- No cover in the 10
- 3 of our 4 strikers are shite and the one that isn't is hit or miss
- No cover at right wing, we literally just have sakamoto
- No proper cover for left wing unless Wright plays there, as he doesn't rate Pato (who's out of contract in the summer) or Rodriguez.
- GK - surely Collins will go, we potentially need another
- CM - Allen will definitely go, potentially Sheaf or Eccles.

And that's before anyone comes in for Milan, Rudi or Wright.

Why? We signed him as a development prospect, I dont think it was ever a plan for him to really feature this season, he impressed in pre season so got mentioned here and there, then got an injury that setback his fitness alot and he went back to not being in consideration to play 1st team this season.

Actual professional championship football level fitness by the way would take MONTHS even a year to build up to if you’ve never done it before, or been building towards it for your career. The standard in australia is poor, imagine the youth standard even lower. Getting Rapha to match fitness isnt the same as getting someone back to match fitness after an injury.

I think there’s a stronger chance he’s an ace in the pack next season and we’re on here absolutely raving about him than him being released.

We shall see.

For a side who scores lots of goals from crosses, someone like Emil Riis Jakobsen, who refused a new contract at Preston, has been released, and is a free agent, seems like a decent option...big (6'3}, strong, in his prime (26yo)

 

[long way home]

I keep hearing about big man because we score from crosses, set pieces and headed goals. We are more than team that lumps the ball in at the 1st opportunity in hope of a big man to get on it. We work space wide to create crossing opportunities, Wright and Simms are over 6ft and how many headers have they scored... Its not about getting a big man who you hit, its about finding a player that can move and time his runs, if he is 6ft 3 great, if he is 5 10 but has better movement and can use his head other than the two 6ft 4 we currently have ill take um.

Its movement and intelligence we need, not statues that hope it hits them. All i can say is im glad none of us are part of the recruitment dept it would be a disaster.

Simms has scored 4 headers so he’s done his bit in that regard. Haji has scored one I think and missed a couple of great chances.

Simms has scored 8 headed goals over the last 2 seasons which is more than the likes of Carlton Morris (4) and Keiffer Moore (3) who people have suggested would make better aerial threats.
