[baldy]

Of course you can. Why haven't they got Obikwu doing it then

They might all fancy Rapha

It is nearly the same 11. But Thomas has progressed as have EMC, Saka, Kitching and Rudoni. Plus we’ve added KKH, Brau and Grimes. And we got to the play offs - let’s not forget.

 

[Robinshio]

who knows what will happen come the season
Who knew gyokores would improve as he did - the same with Callum wilson previously

Adam Armstrong season, I dont think we scored preseason (or not many) and then started scoring for fun once we kicked off

Trust in the management team, so that come the start of the season, they will have the team they need

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

That’s almost the same XI that didn’t go up last year so I don’t see it going better this year.

There's still development room in a lot of our players so it'll be interesting to see how much they can push on by having a full pre-season with FL and the coaching staff.

 

[oneofourown]

Most of the 'rumours' on here are either fake or not up to our standard. We are aiming at top two and if that is so we need quality loans, not good championship players, there is a difference. We rave about Hamer, and think we need 11 of him, but look he can't get a premiership move, he isn't good enough for that sort of money. Leeds have bought on the continent , same fee better option. We need two or three premier loans like the Brighton keeper.

 

[Liquid Gold]

it does if it doesn't have an awful first 1/4 of the season

Entirely corrected by a completely unprecedented winning run that won’t happen again either.

 

[JSL]

we're not making half a dozen signings in this transfer window as i've said for ages

But thats just it, nobody knows unless you have some inside info?

 

[Gibbo]

We don't have the financial backing sufficient to buy our way into the top 2. We want permission to buy a ticket for the play off lottery.

Have we done enough so far in the window to give City a fair shot at positions 3-6? Almost certainly not, only if our rivals fuck up - which they have conveniently done twice in three years admittedly. .

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Can we please stop putting KKH at left back and writing off Brau?
From what has been mentioned previously Brau was a signing we were going to make even if we got promoted, that alone suggests he's fairly decent

KKH won’t be left back. I’ve seen it mentioned but it’s madness. We have 3 actual left backs at the club of which we’ve just signed one. To suggest putting a right back there is mad ahead of 3 players whose actual position it is

 

[long way home]

He isnt a RB and our 3 LB 2 are not goo⁸d enough to push on and 1 is going to need time to settle.. Now, im not saying KKH is going to start on the left side. But if the squad is what we have now at this minute going into Hull no way does MVE sit on a bench ad we play KKH on the right with Bidwell or JDS on the left.

Brau needs minutes, fitness and to get up to speed of our game.

 

[JSL]

Do we think it just a coincidence that Sheaf has today been linked with Genoa when we are supposedly interested in their Seydou Fini?

Might indicate the clubs have been in talks. Could also just be nonsense (although it feels very particular and Viera would know Sheaf from his Arsenal days).

 

[long way home]

Someone has to go, MVE, Sheaf, Wright, Simms im sure all will be evaluated to what it would mean to do a deal. I hope the club are also working on Collins, Binks, Bidwell, JDS, Eccles, Simms, BTA and Norm to see whats best for club to improve the squad.

 

[JSL]

I smell the potential of a part ex deal?

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

I'd always keep Eccles and Lati as squad players.

In the Championship top players are not going to be happy warming the bench, so you just have to accept that squad players are inferior. The only argument is just how inferior?

Da Silva, Lati and Eccles make the cut, Collins and Wilson don't. Buying specifically squad players could well be the toughest job of all in the transfer market so it is better if they are like Eccles - previously first choice but now downgraded..

You might want to keep them. Would they be willing to stay if they were pushed further down the pecking order? It’s apparent that both players want to be starters.

How do you improve the CM / CB positions without letting players go?

I’m relaxed about changing the CM department as long as we get forward players in (2-3 players who can play RW-AM-LW). Defensively, something needs to give because I’m not seeing how we improve this area without new players.

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

Wishlist:
Collins (Free) -> Carl Rushworth (Loan)
Binks (£1m) -> Eiran Cashin (Loan)
Allen (£750k) -> Lasse Berg Johnsen (£3.5m)
Thomas-Asante (£3m) -> Tyrhys Dolan (Free)

other outs:
Bidwell (£500k)
Raphael (loan)
Obikwu (loan)
Perry (loan)
Daush (loan)

other ins:
Bertaccini (£6m)

Wow.

Binks £1m??
Allen £750k??
Bidwell £500k??
Thomas-Asante £3m??

I’d suggest we would get about one half of your valuations for each of those, two-thirds at the absolute top (they are all non-starters in a championship team).

We would even struggle to get the fee you propose for Collins, as I don’t see who will take him even on a free. Paying his contract up may be our only option.

But thats just it, nobody knows unless you have some inside info?

It was mainly certain fans who built up the noise around about 8 or 9 players coming in. It seemed to be based on what was in their heads, rather than what was in Frank Lampard's head.

Okay there has been little coming out from the club in the way of rumour, although it was reported "no one has been told to find a new club.". Even that got twisted to, because certain players will be looking for a new club themselves.

One thing I do know, is at the moment, the squad we have, is the squad we have.

 

[Hobo]

They are very rare.

Vieira hasn’t been at arsenal in 20 years

The same was said about Haji Wright and when he’s fully fit and firing, he’s a league leading player in his positions.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Vieira hasn’t been at arsenal in 20 years

My apologies thought he did some coaching there but was Man City

 

[SleepyGinger]

My main concern for opening day is that Simms or BTA will be leading the line

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Personally I would like to keep sheaf , but wouldnt want to lose him on a free

 

[fernandopartridge]

Vieira hasn’t been at arsenal in 20 years

Sheaf was well known as a 7 year old

Think there’s no worry of that this season. We’ve got an extension apparently

 

[Simpson]

Why did the tie go to extra time in the first place? We gifted you a goal at our own place and you took the win to 2nd leg.

We gifted Coventry a goal at our place when our full back completely lost his man ...

... until then our keeper didn't have a shot to save.

Our second goal at Coventry wasn't an OG, and we weren't sitting on the draw. Le Fée chased your full back down and Mayenda was already running before MVE kicked the ball. Your defender was too slow in chasing the pass and the keeper committed himself too early.

Having three players, all failing to do their jobs, doesn't win matches.

Those players are all part of the team, you can't just say errors cost you the game.

 

[Skybluedownunder]

Also add in Brooke Norton Cuffey on top of Fini plus £2m and you’ve got yourself a deal.

That means two solid RB and then sell MVE

KKH won’t be left back. I’ve seen it mentioned but it’s madness. We have 3 actual left backs at the club of which we’ve just signed one. To suggest putting a right back there is mad ahead of 3 players whose actual position it is

Just seems odd to bench our most expensive signing of the season, who was a Championship team’s POTY who played much of the season on the left, because we can’t imagine leaving out Jake Bidwell, Jay Dasilva, or the guy we signed from the Spanish second division.

We can because they did.

He played most of the season on the right

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

You've seen the number of clubs in our division try that , basket cases like Reading, Shef Wed and Derby . chasing the " dream" has led to massive debt and in some cases relegation.

Plus administration ( like us once )

 

[SBT]

He played most of the season on the right

And he played 16 games on the left. I don’t expect him to stay there for us, but if he’s better there than Bidwell, Dasilva or Brau (not a huge assumption to make) then he should play there until we need him at RB.

Not really the same is it? Our goal was poor defending from your defender whereas your winner at our place was from an unforced error. MVE’s back pass was should have been routine but was underpowered which left the GK in no man’s land.

Credit to your players for chasing the ball and punishing the mistake… it was a gift of a goal and it’s something MVE has done a few times last season.

 

[Lamps]

Do we underestimate just how desperate Frank Lampard was for a job?

Lampard had several job offers. He was only interested when we came along as we already had a decent squad and were not a rebuild model.
