We need another as well we need some energy in there.when torp is back do you drop sheaf and play grims and torp together ? feel like thats how it would go
Eccles has energy as he showed last nightWe need another as well we need some energy in there.
Simms and Wright have had enough time , BTA not good enoughI'd say in an ideal situation we'd move 10 players on.
Is that a major overhaul? Possibly, but some will probably want to go to get first team football,
like, Binks, Bidwell, Eccles, Collins, Allen, Raphael.
Some we need to improve on, like, Simms, Wright, BTA, JDS, Wilson.
That's 10 players, most are decent at Championship level, but won't get you out of the Championship, and certainly won't be good enough for the Premier League.
If we want to be able to press like lampard wants, we cannot afford to have passengers and those who cant press. We need people who are willing to run for 90 minutes and harry.I wouldnt be adverse to that. The front line needs freshening up a lot.
I can see all 3 going to be honest.
Replace with a winger who can play either side and 2 strikers.
Just a full pre season. He hasnt had one yet since he has been here.I would be interested to see Wright after a full pre season with lampard and the coaches, I wouldn't sell yet

We can't replace all 3 strikers , expect Bassette to go out on loan and still be successful. That is just folly
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.
Ideally I'd like us to line up like this start of next year
New GK
MVE Thomas Kitching NEW LB
Grimes
New number 8 Rudoni
Saka NEW ST EMC
£10m-£15m spent on those 4 positions listed.
Can see a loanee in both positions. I think Frank will use his Premier League contacts to get us a young player in each positionWe aren't spending anywhere near £15m on 4 positions.
We've already reportedly brought in a LB on a free and we won't spend more money on another GK. Not if Dovin hopefully should be back by October/November. I would imagine we could pick up someone fairly decent who's OOC.
Hopefully we invest in a ST and CM though.

No absolutely not and I wouldn't want us to do that but I think Lampard likes the loan system and will utilise itPossibly. He spent millions on loan fees when at Derby though which was largely how he was able to bring those players in. I very much doubt DK will sanction that.
No absolutely not and I wouldn't want us to do that but I think Lampard likes the loan system and will utilise it
And if we can loan in the right players I think they would in some capacity, whether that is starting or coming off the bench . Can't see us singing loanees just to warm the benchIt's important we try to utilise the loan market. I suspect we'll look to bring in a one or two to add competition but always difficult as parent clubs want them playing week in week out.
This close season could we have a highly modded transfer rumours thread that is strictly transfer rumours, no chit chat or speculation.

Isn't that what most managers try and do though when they use the loan market ?I don't think that is necessarily true, I don't think he wants the badge that he relies on his contacts in his game to provide him with superior loan players
Maybe kyprianou on a free to replace Allen.We aren't spending anywhere near £15m on 4 positions.

With ACL injuries usually 9-12 months recovery time .Maybe kyprianou on a free to replace Allen.
Bassette is heading to L1 or the Belgian leagues fast - he’s been a dire signing.Develop Bassette he has the one thing the rest of our forward line up don’t have and that’s pace and provides a good alternative if you need to try something different.
I don't think that is necessarily true, I don't think he wants the badge that he relies on his contacts in his game to provide him with superior loan players
Why wouldn’t we? We will likely have funds from gyok, wright, and maybe sheaf leaving. That’s without considering van ewijk could leave for significant funds too.We aren't spending anywhere near £15m on 4 positions.

Harsh, he wasn't bought to make an immediate impact.Bassette is heading to L1 or the Belgian leagues fast - he’s been a dire signing.
He's scored a total of 2 goals for usBassette is heading to L1 or the Belgian leagues fast - he’s been a dire signing.
He’s 20, lots of potential thereHe's scored a total of 2 goals for us
