Should do. At the moment it doesn’t feel like anyone is leaving us and we know we have to shift some to bring some in.
Youd imagine things will start really moving ins and outs wise this week now the tours out the way and there's less than a month until.opening day
Depends if anyone wants the outs???Youd imagine things will start really moving ins and outs wise this week now the tours out the way and there's less than a month until.opening day
Wasn't Brau going to be signed if we went up ?We still don’t know what type of player Lampard wants or rates.
Grimes and KKH were long term targets for the club by his own admission , and I very much doubt Brau is anything other than a calculated risk from the scouting team.
hooefully we will know more over the next few weeks
I’d imagine he still gives the go ahead on them though. I doubt he’s having players forced on him with no say.We still don’t know what type of player Lampard wants or rates.

I thought the interest in Lati was just fallacyThere was interest in the likes of Lati and BTA in Jan as an example and plenty of clubs would take them.
Round pegs for round holes.We still don’t know what type of player Lampard wants or rates.
You'd hope so. Got this niggling feeling that MVE will go and the money will be used to strengthen in Jan if needed. Don't know why, just a hunchYoud imagine things will start really moving ins and outs wise this week now the tours out the way and there's less than a month until.opening day
If that's the case give Norm 2 cans of Monster and a bag of snus before each match and watch him flyI'd say he looks a little like Vardy when he was first developing, but I'll leave that to the experts..
Definitely ready for a loan, but I think he has all the attributes to be a top striker, he still has much to learn, but a full season in league 1 would be great experience for him.Needs to go out on loan for a season before we start talking about him playing and scoring in the PL.
I expect it to depend on how early any funds received comes in. Seems more like we have targets lined up and ready to go. But any last minute sales might not leave us time to complete the negotiations.You'd hope so. Got this niggling feeling that MVE will go and the money will be used to strengthen in Jan if needed.

I’m sure he will have the final say but the new model across football is that the managers choose from a shortlist provided by the scouting team and approved by the owner.I’d imagine he still gives the go ahead on them though. I doubt he’s having players forced on him with no say.
That’s the strange thing about football … someone always wants the outs.Depends if anyone wants the outs???
Always players that will want move for various, looks like majority of them enjoy environment, but some will know game time will be limited - Simms/BTA for example - regardless of views - there will be clubs interested in those pair.That’s the strange thing about football … someone always wants the outs.
I suspect it will be another 22 player training session, everyone gets 45mins and players who are fringe but did not feature on Sat will replace fringe players who did feature then.Always players that will want move for various, looks like majority of them enjoy environment, but some will know game time will be limited - Simms/BTA for example - regardless of views - there will be clubs interested in those pair.
wonder if Wednesday’s match is last chance saloon for couple also to convince FL et al.
Good enough for me.“have it on very good authority…. (Facebook post)”
Can’t see us bidding 6 million on a keeper, would love us to get a quality one in but 6 million? Seems to good to be true
That is a very definitive statement, as if you are actually have insider knowledge of what actually goes on with transfers. Do you have proof Robins definitely had the final say on Waghorn and BTA? Incidentally, the latter may yet prove to be a good signing.I’m sure he will have the final say but the new model across football is that the managers choose from a shortlist provided by the scouting team and approved by the owner.
We know under Robins this was also the case but he occasionally signed players that he strongly liked too such as BTA and Waghorn.
We have not seen any of those from Frank yet
Based on his comments Grimes seems absolutely a player Lampard wanted (which went against our transfer policy).I’m sure he will have the final say but the new model across football is that the managers choose from a shortlist provided by the scouting team and approved by the owner.

Lampard said he had been a player the club had wanted for some time ( ie pre his tenure )Based on his comments Grimes seems absolutely a player Lampard wanted (which went against our transfer policy).
Wouldn't be shocked to hear Lampard pulled rank for him
lol no way on earth we are dropping £6m on a GK
Grimes ticked most of the boxes for what we were lacking in midfield. Shame he is not a goalscorer, although he would have cost way more. Older players are sometimes a gamble because they may be more injury prone and suddenly drop off. See Godden for us. However, some outfield players can still be brilliant into their late 30s.Based on his comments Grimes seems absolutely a player Lampard wanted (which went against our transfer policy).

Hasn't he already had a couple, might get six out of him next season?Grimes ticked most of the boxes for what we were lacking in midfield.

Teams like PSG are moving towards young talented players with around three older heads to tie it all together, even though they play an insane pressing game. I feel Lampard wants us to play that way, but realised early on, and mentioned, our players were not fit enough.
Agree, it appeared our policy on older players appeared to change. Loaning players may also alter, depending who is available.
I don't dispute Lampard will have strong opinions on what he wants and that may well influence final decisions.
I don’t disagree on that, Grimes for me is the first name in the team sheet at the moment apart from maybe Rudoni, think he is brilliant.Grimes ticked most of the boxes for what we were lacking in midfield.

Could've just typed that out tbf
2 for us and 2 for Swansea last season, so 6 shouldn't be a stretch.Hasn't he already had a couple, might get six out of him next season?
