Their kitman link has also gone…
And that was probably based on the bullshit of him talking to Lampard in a restaurant
Centre Forward 100%
Any CF would be better than Simms or BTA
Who Are you talking about?
There is if we don't have enough spaces to register them without selling some first.If we have this much money to spend on a central defender then there really isn't any excuse to get a striker and a better forward thinking CM.
Or we were out priced when we were after Doyle?Think it’s safe to say if we were after Doyle we wouldn’t of bid 7 million for this lad
Spot on, we we never going to spend 10 million on Doyle, and we won’t on this lad eitherOr we were out priced when we were after Doyle?
We already have one of the best forward thinking CM in the division.If we have this much money to spend on a central defender then there really isn't any excuse to get a striker and a better forward thinking CM.
Who's to say we aren't trying to in those positions also?If we have this much money to spend on a central defender then there really isn't any excuse to get a striker and a better forward thinking CM.
Didn’t he come on against Rangers?It came on against Swindon in a pre season friendly and looked miles off the pace.
I remember his announcement video that the club botched and he looked about 2 stone overweight.
Who Are you talking about?
Not necessarily we could be making an approach to make Man City aware that their valuation is ridiculous, bit extreme admittedly.Think it’s safe to say if we were after Doyle we wouldn’t of bid 7 million for this lad
Has he got much pace?Hughes is an interesting talent and one which has very good leader attributes. Something maybe Lampard has indicated to Doug and to stick to the 'model' having a leader from someone younger who can still develop rather than highly experienced like Doyle or a Fadz like replacement.
But we said we were never going to spend £4.5m on Kitching either...Spot on, we we never going to spend 10 million on Doyle, and we won’t on this lad either
They need to bring in a limit on the number of players clubs can have on pro contracts to stop them taking the piss hoovering up the young talent.So it's a good tactic for them but not us,makes sense if you're an elite club by spreading the pain lower in the chain and by doing so keeping us there (?
Simms and BTA were on fire last year mate you’re rightThank fuck the man managing the team has put his faith in the strike force, some of the shite I've been reading on here is so flipping cringey it's untrue!!!!! Ever thought of this stat, how many did we score last season and how many did we leak???? We need to sort the defence out and thankfully it looks like it is... stop the moaning and groaning and get behind the lads
He obviously wants a strikerThank fuck the man managing the team has put his faith in the strike force, some of the shite I've been reading on here is so flipping cringey it's untrue!!!!!

Could be perfect timing to get someone from Hull. They raised the cash to pay off their football debts. It's supposedly in place now because of cash flow. They appealed today against their transfer embargo. They get the result in about 2 days. Selling a player for nearly 10m would certainly give them a cash flow. Having an offer from us would have let them go to the tribunal showing them their plans.If this lad was our first choice surely we’d have gone after him weeks ago and not 3 days before the season starts, either we need to sell first ( MVE being sold ) or we did go for Doyle but couldn’t afford him ? Either way we’ve def gone up a level with our signings

Its a bit more nuanced than that though isnt it. Yes a cursory glance gives you the picture that you have just described but look any closer and you see that whilst the defence leaked, the strikers for the most part underperformed and were helped out massively by the midfield.
Can we expect the same again this year?
Maybe, but you would be better hedging the bet than trusting BTA/Simms/Bassette to perform after what we saw last term. I struggle to understand how anyone can look at their contribution regardless of overall output and be happy with it.
I hardly think hes saying sign a striker but no defendersIf we’re allowed to ignore all the first team players in a position you’re banking on our entire defence being Latibeaudiere and Jake Bidwell

Well at the moment Haji Wright isn't fit yet and we will be starting Simms or BTA so discussion around back up strikers is topicalIm just saying we keep pretending Haji Wright isn’t our first choice number 9. Any striker will be backup to him at best. We don’t have similar at CB who is unlikely to be dropped.
