I just think we need to move on Simms and BTA, Wright is an entirely different convo, genuinely not sure what to do with him atm, probably keep unless the fee is huge.. It makes sense for 1 of the 2 replacement to be a free as we can't be spunking out on every player. I've seen far more laughable suggestions than McBurnie, although i think i'd still prefer Riis.

McBurnie and Riis would not be a bad couple of signings if we could shift Simms and BTA for £6m+.

forward options of

LW- Wright, EMC
St- Riis, Mcburnie
Rw - Sakamoto, New RW

could be a lot worse.

would allow us to divert funds mainly into a quality 8, New LB, New CB and a backup RB

I was on a stag do a couple of weeks back with the son of one of the youth coaches Leicester and he said the club are expecting a 10 point deduction next season. That will probably be halved once they go through the appeals though

Yeh i think essentially trading Simms and BTA for Riis and McBurnie and coming out of it £6 million+ up would represent excellent business.

I'd actually pay out for Salech though and go Riis and Salech. That's the winner for me.

Also would be big fan of us looking a Lewis O’Brien. Can see us playing more of the 4-3-3 next season where our midfield three almost become vertical.

Think O’Brien would do a great job linking the team together although looks like he might be off to La Liga.

His wages would be a problem. Especially when Forest will probably try to move him on permanently as well.

Ayase Ueda, 26 year old striker, would be a cracking signing, plays in Holland, international for Japan and value is about £5-6 million

Riis scored 12 for a Preston in a relegation battle who struggled for goals this season
(25% of Preston’s goals were scored by Riis this season in the league)

Don't we want to aim a bit higher than a clogger like McBurnie (who's a violent scumbag by all accounts) and a striker with a 1 in 4 record at the age of 26 in Riis?

Unfortunately money is finite and making £6m on our forwards and replacing with those two, which means we can funnel money into a game winning number 8, a quality LB and backup for RW and RB which have all been problem areas seems like better business to me

Riis’ record is for a team that notoriously struggles for goals I think in a side that score loads he’d score a lot more

Just feel like people's view of him is skewed by his performances against us. He's been at Preston for years. You'd have thought someone would've seen potential or value in him by now if it was there.

The 3 we have, are all the wrong type of strikers we need for the system we play. They all want to run in behind or played to their feet. We need someone to go direct in the air, win the first/second balls and build the attack a lot higher up the pitch. Don't think Riis is a bad suggestion tbf. If we can get 2 that score 10-15, but allow us to take advantage of the way we play better, I think we'll be onto a winner. I don't think it helps defensively either with the ball constantly coming back as it just won't stick up front.

Luka Kulenovic wouldn't be a bad option to have. 6 foot 2, Bosnian international, linked with Werder Bremen in January and had a decent season for a poor team in the Eredevisie

We'd need to get rid of both left backs before that happened.

Promising player though.

No, he played RWB and Ramsey played RCB.

He's naturally a LB though.

Fisnik Asllani, 18 goals in 32 games this season in Bundesliga 2, on loan from Hoffenheim. 6ft2, 22 years old, plays for Kosovo.

Scores a good variety of goals and helped his unfancied team to third in the league

Are we all convinced after two games of floating in crosses against Sunderland’s parked bus that the only way we can score goals is if we have two big lumps up front? Surely we want to be a bit more sophisticated than that?

Latte Lath went from Boro to Atlanta for 20m+. He has a very similar career record to Wright plus Wright has the premium of being a US international, should a club from the MLS be interested in him.

Any MLS team would want him, but only Atlanta really have the buying power. Don’t see any of the other teams shelling out £20m in transfer fees.

Captain Dart said:
He is likely to bulk out in the next few years which will allow him to hold off the defenders who are taking the ball from him rather too easily.

My concern is more about whether his temperament and character makes him a bit disagreeable if he is not getting game time.
Click to expand...
Lampard did suggest he got some game time a few weeks ago because he wanted to play and worked hard in training. I think it's easier to work with somebody who believes they should be playing than somebody who doesn't care.

I agree with you he's got a lot to learn in how to manage centre backs, what movements to make and when.

Under Lampard, we have the highest amount of crosses in the league. This is the same as Lampard at Chelsea and at Derby. As a manager, he wants people to go wide, overlap and get balls into the box. Were patient in not just aimlessly throwing crosses in every second, but take time to get people into the box.

From what I can see the striker role, is to hold the ball up so we can attack vertically to allow the wingers and 8s to get forward. Also to occupy centre backs to allow the 8s to crash the box.

As such think a target forward who has experience in this would be the target for this role?
