Judging by your stockports, notts countys etc the nl is maybe better
Think it should become a League 3 and given at least 1 additional promotion spot personally but not a convo for this thread. A feather in the cap of English football that not only are we the only country that can justify 4 professional leagues but i think we could justify 5. Still plenty of real football fans out there.

Bidwell I can see going
Collins too if we can convince anyone to have him
Lampard likes Latibeaudiere
I still think Viveash will convince Boro to come in for Eccles

Eccles seems like a smart replacement for Hackney. In a similar way that we've finally replaced Gus by bringing in Rudi and Grimes. I'd expect Boro to do something similar as replacing Hackneys output would be near impossible.

A number of things to consider on a development loan when people come knocking for one of your players.

1. Adopting to a new environment and squad.
2. Will they get opportunities to play.
3. The managers skill set and temperament.
4. The style of play they adopt.
5. The skill set of the coaches at the club.

Some of the above can be more important than the difference between it being a League 1 or League 2 club or a Scottish club.

I think someone like Walsall would have been perfect
Yeah and FGR has that mad vegan wind factory grifter as an owner, I'd be happier if we could find a different club at that level. Also they have Robbie Savage managing them. 🤭

They do have the largest budget in non league currently. He will be up near the top of the table with decent players around him

We certainly need a keeper in on loan we are only an injury away from Collins back in goal
Problem is, it will surely lead to Wilson being pissed off as the No.2. His role is to fill in for Dovin when he is injured, if you then go out and get a new temporary No.1, you're basically saying to Wilson that he can't be trusted. If we shift Collins, would someone come in on loan to be second choice behind Wilson for 6 months? For the hassle it might cause, I wouldn't be surprised to see nothing happen in goal and they wait it out and cross their fingers nothing catastrophic happens

He can’t be trusted

Will end up like Troy Deeney, they just bring random people in.

Didn't they want the woman from Chelsea at the time as well?

Wilson will have just been happy to get a contract and stick around. Going into the season with him starting would be madness.

Trouble is funding 5 divisions full time is unaffordable without money from the Prem clubs. Germany only has two. And the Prem clubs increasingly feel less inclined to the charity of helping fund the lower leagues from their TV money. And you can see why. They draw very few players from the pyramid

The Premier League is the exact opposite of a feather in our cap and represents everything wrong with modern football, but again, a different thread. I'm far more proud of our pyramid than the division at the top of it.

My ideal result for the full back situation would be to move MVE, Dasilva and Bidwell on. Toffolo on a free to start with Brau back up and a modest fee on a KKH backup on the other side.

Would improve the overall unit immensely while giving decent funds to refresh elsewhere in the squad.

Even to stay where we are we need to refresh the squad a bit. Assuming MVE leaves, you also want to shift a few (Binks, Bidwell, Collins, Allen and a striker sound the most likely from the ITK chat).

Before Sep you'd ideally have a GK, cover at RB and an upgrade at CB, CM and up top if we can shift what's there now. If Raphael isn't trusted for real mins then we need competition for Sakamoto, too.

Eccles, Torp, Sheaf, Grimes, Rudoni plus an 8-10 hybrid feels like enough. Need more from Torp, though. Think we'll see movement later in the window this time with the need to shift players first.
