Unfortunately we’re probably going to be stuck with our strikers because inevitably there’s not going to be much if any interest in them.

Everyone around us seemingly making moves yet we’re sitting still. The hughes thing would be great but it appears to be a complete no goer now, can’t we spend the money elsewhere! We’re a ST/RW and CB away from giving it a good go
Didn’t his international cap come about because they took the reserves from the U21s rather than their better players so not to disrupt the U21’s game too much?Fucking Rediculous comment.
Kone is 2 years older than Bassette and was playing non league football when he was 20, has never played in the championship and doesn't have an international cap.
Some of the shite spouted on here is just mind blowing.
They all count, and he has played at that level. No one can take that away from him.Didn’t his international cap come about because they took the reserves from the U21s rather than their better players so not to disrupt the U21’s game too much?
Someone bought Luis Binks. Maybe Brondby think BTA can tear it up in Denmark.Unfortunately we’re probably going to be stuck with our strikers because inevitably there’s not going to be much of any interest in them.
So you're saying Allen, Collins, Wilson, Lati, Bidwell, JDS, BTA, Simms, and Eccles are all good enough for a team wanting to push for promotion and/or survive relegation in the PL?
Add to that Mr Cant Stay fit for 7mins, Mr Good when he can be bothered Wright, and ok in patches EMC.
But I'm unrealistic for wanting better versions/replacements for them? I'm not suggesting its done this window, but as it stands, a now 3rd choice LB, a RB (that will get minimal game time if we keep out pricing MVE and he stays) and a GK on loan (granted he was desperately needed) when all of the above need upgrades and moving on? We were 3rd best, after Xmas, but that wasnt when it counted. That wasnt the business end. It was at the business end when these players didnt stand up and be counted. And if we dont address at least 2 or 3 of those issues, we'll still be sat here this time next season, in the championship having the same arguments.
Was it Einstein that said the definition of a fool is somebody that does the same thing over and over and expects different results? Well, at 1230 on Saturday, all bar Rushworth in goal, our fool did the same thing that failed last season. And unless we get 2 or 3 marquee signings before the window closes, dont be shocked if we get the same outcome as last season. Apart from GK (and that's only temporary), we haven't strengthened a single area on the pitch. RB if MVE goes is much a muchness for KKH, and Brau is currently 3rd choice LB. So where have we strengthened/improved this summer? Nowhere.

Likewise, I haven't said we NEED 9 signings and I also think we have a semi-capable squad. This all started with me putting together 3 wish lists.You’ve done a fair bit of over-inferring from what I said mate but I take your point. Note I don’t mean we’re necessarily ‘ok’ if we finish like this - see my earlier post re: window having three weeks to run - just that we hardly have a barebones/proven poor squad in the Championship. And that it’s obvious why Stoke have done more business than us.

Why are some panickingsame squad was 4th top scorers in the league, we didn’t get past Sunderland because we couldn’t defend, we’ve addressed that, and will prob bring a CH in the next 3 weeks,
That's a brave statement about a player with a 10+ year career ahead of him.Like the clinging on to the only international cap he’ll ever get, on the pitch for seconds, all because the U21’s had no intention of playing him because he was down the pecking order with them too?
Even though I'm sure it's nonsense, were it to happen the reveal surely has to bethe vardy rumour has come from someone inside the club who works with the corporate team
was seen at the ground today

It never ceases to amaze ne how some fuckers call themselves fans, but love to see our young players fail.
he looked ok when he first came, just looked like he needs a bit of coaching but if simms is on the bench and your not I’d be a bit pissed offDon’t love to. Just right to call it from game one
Would have to screen capture Vardy in a Cov kit and post it on the Leicester forum lol melt down would be epicEven though I'm sure it's nonsense, were it to happen the reveal surely has to be
IT'S.................
We’re not selling Simms or BTA this season and people need to let that go… next season will be the time to take stock.A level up from where Bassette is mind.
Why do you do thisthe vardy rumour has come from someone inside the club who works with the corporate team

Stoke barely scraped staying in the league, they needed an entire new squad.Robins has signed 8 at Stoke. Such a keyboard manager he is, sat on FM2024! No clue at all that Robins bloke.

I get that they are wide strikers rather than old fashioned wingers, and it can make sense to be able to cut inside onto your better foot. But occasionally swapping sides during games would surely be worth trying. I don't buy the idea that they aren't capable of it.EMC is right footed and Saka left, how about playing them on the opposite wings? Weird idea I know
Im sure an Oxford or someone will be willing to take a punt on Bassette on loan, high energy playerWe’re not selling Simms or BTA this season and people need to let that go… next season will be the time to take stock.
As for Bassette, a loan will hopefully do him and us a load of good.
It was a bit weird how Bassette was first choice striker for quite a while then just dropped out the team and was barely seen again.
He started 7 out of Lampard's first 10 games, obviously Wright was injured but he kept getting picked ahead of Simms and BTA.
He didn't do a lot during those games and it was a bit strange that Lampard kept picking him. He obviously sees some talent in him.
Then he barely got a kick for the rest of the season, now he's behind Obikwu.
Any news on Dolan?

Seems obvious to me to allow players to play in their natural positions. This is when they thrive, but FL seems to stubbornly persist in playing Wright as a CF which he’s not. The Sunderland 3-0 game was an exception in spite of the fact Wrught had a hat trick. Sunderland weren’t really bothered that day.Personally think more of an argument for getting a better striker is that Haji is arguably better playing out wide on the left where he can cut inside, seems way more natural to him, that way we can have LW competition and ST competition. Imagine playing Haji and a quality striker, EMC is there for backup to Haji and Simms/BTA is there for backup to the new striker. Whether Lampard wants to play that way is another thing but personally I think moving Haji wide and brining in a quality striker gives us some real depth and attacking power.

The other problem we still have is not being able to unlock teams playing a low block and this overreliance on crosses/ long throws instead of mixing up our playing style.
He’s played under some of the world’s greatest managers …. He will know more about tactical changes and winning formations that we will ever know. He’s also human and will get things wrong.When I was watching Lampard videos to try and convince myself he wasn’t awful literally the only attacking tactic he talked about was 5 up front and lots of crosses. I know he’s supposed to be smart for a footballer but I honestly don’t think he knows any other way.

Pep is the world’s greatest ever manager. Where was his plan B when City were struggling last season ??
Since he came in he's got more points than any other manager in the division. Give the geezer a chance ffs
Doug needs to back him, he inherited an incredibly unbalanced squad with some absolute dog shit strikers. Any manager would want the chance to bring in some players of their own choosing.
Over to you Mr King, we have 3 more weeks.
All things considered, a win percentage of 48% is very good.Since he came in he's got more points than any other manager in the division. Give the geezer a chance ffs

How would you have preferred it went?Problem is it’s made up on one 100% run and two about 25% runs.
