We have a lot of squad depth. Always the hope that Simms finds form again too etc

We're in a good place.

Id rather keep mve and no more changes even if that's unrealistic

Interesting benchmark to use. I wouldn't exactly call Le Fee your bog standard loan....

If we don’t sign anyone else and retain the squad we will be in a good place. My only slight concern is lack of options in the wings, Lampard likes to play with wingers and if we get any injury’s we’ve not really got any options. If Milan goes I hope we get another back up right back too rather than praying kkh is fit all year round.
You’d think a loan goalkeeper would be incoming?

Seem to be in the minority on this but the later we leave getting a keeper in the more likely we are to see more defensive gaffes from him being unfamiliar with his defence. Unless we actually plan to go with Wilson anyway in which case, gaffes ahoy

Regardless of any ITK. We know we have to move some players on as the wage bill can’t keep going up by adding players and not moving any on.

I wouldnt either. But it's apparently made him realise, albeit 2 years later than he should have, that you dont get out of this league without a quality loan or 2

I barely get any info now which is fair enough, just thought id pass on what I got

Oh and kit shoot took place Friday

The fee we e reportedly paid for KKH isn't necessarily his worth. It's just what we managed to buy him for. Villa needed to sell and quickly.

The loan move for Le Fee was absolutely bonkers, bordering on financially irresponsible. Would be amazed if we do something similar.

I'd rather us be proactive in this department. It cost us too many times last year.

I know a lot has been made about defensive errors last season and a lot of blame was put on the centre backs , unfairly in my opinion , but I thought it was in the full back areas we were really pulled about even MvE at times .
Hopefully the signing of Brau and KHH can remedy a lot of these problems

Unless Collins has undergone a transformation this summer and all of a sudden is prime Buffon then yeah it's stupid not getting a new GK and off loading Collins

You can only off load players if somebody actually wants them

I assumed we’d have seen MVE out by now. The plan surely cannot be to have both of them.
Click to expand...
I was surprised to see how many games KKH played on the left last season. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them both start the season, even if MVE is clearly on his way out the door.

Nice to have the replacement already in the building and up to speed anyway, and if he can slot in at a position of need for the time being then even better.

Someone will absolutely take Collins. Didn’t Plymouth’s awful goalkeeper just get a move of his own?

He had a massive part in getting them to the final against us.. the ball in behind to Isidor in the first game and took the corner for the header..

See I expected more from him - I was disappointed in him. I’m with the poster that said he was wildly overhyped.

looked good in his first few games then dropped off

On my calculation we have one slot left in the 25 man squad. So some players need to leave and that depends on if there are any interested parties.

People are talking about the need for two or three more players and getting some loans. But if we loan a player, regardless of their age they count as part of your 25 man squad.

It did give me cause for concern when someone (can’t remember who) mentioned that none of the existing squad had been told they were surplus to requirements. We certainly needed to put some of their agents to work.

Le Fee was absolute gash for large parts because he was played out of position on the left hand side.

When he played centrally was 10x better.

One other thing to consider is we can only have a 25 man squad. If Dovin is expected back in November time you’ve got to include 3 goalkeepers

GK: Dovin, Wilson, Collins

DF: DaSilva, Brau, Bidwell, Kitching, Binks, Thomas, Latibeudiere, MvE, KKH

MD: Grimes, Sheaf, Eccles, Rudoni, Torp, Allen

ATT: EMC, Sakamoto, Wright, Bassette, BTA, Simms

theres 24 already. Leaves us 1 at max before we need to sell.
