How else do you strengthen without buying new players and replacing the ones that aren't good enough for your squad anymore?Honestly the amount of people who think "strengthening" is just about buying new players, I see where the FM insults come from tbh
Improving the ones you have.How else do you strengthen without buying new players and replacing the ones that aren't good enough for your squad anymore?
And how much potential to improve do you think Jamie Allen, Jake Bidwell and Brad collins have?Improving the ones you have.

Allen came off the bench Saturday, we are 1 CB injury from Bidwell playing LCB?They aren't in our first 11. You want to sell back up players to replace with starters, and who are they replacing? Lampard and the coaches were selected primarily to help bring players on. The Likes of Simms, Wright, Rudoni etc. We can strengthen without just buying players
Granted a CB is needed because we sold binks. Allen is back up because Eccles and Sheaf are injured. You (and a few on here) need to get out of the mindset that everytime a player comes on that you don't rate that "we need to strengthen" Its not how it works.Allen came off the bench Saturday, we are 1 CB injury from Bidwell playing LCB?
This is serious cope at the lack of signings.
So if at some point this season we have to play Allen, Bidwell and Raphael you wont be disappointed with how business has gone?Granted a CB is needed because we sold binks.

No, I would be questioning our fitness coaches thoughSo if at some point this season we have to play Allen, Bidwell and Raphael you wont be disappointed with how business has gone?
Are you going to expand on who JD is, or the fact you said Rangers were after BTA?Visual representation of how this thread, and most others, is going.
Tbf it is nice that we aren't just buying for the sake of it like days gone by. They seem more targeted acquisitions.For me it's clear that we are just in a really tricky situation, sort of between levels quality wise. As in we need to be trying to compete for players who are top end Champ players quality but we are probably just about the smallest fish in that pond. The money is clearly there considering the bids we have made but at this point we are struggling to rival what other teams can offer. I'm sure we have backups in mind but just don't want to go to early, just in case we can land some real quality.
Can't deny it's been dull this summer but I'm convinced we'll make additions still, we aren't picking up cast-offs or taking unknown punts based on a YouTube reel anymore... it's just way harder when other (better) teams are also interested in our targets. It's hard but relax but there is still time and we've made some quality signings already.
Most teams at this level will have squad players they have to end up playing. We cant afford 25 first choice players, despite what many think on here.So if at some point this season we have to play Allen, Bidwell and Raphael you wont be disappointed with how business has gone?
Again, nobody is asking for 25 first choice players, just better quality squad players.Most teams at this level will have squad players they have to end up playing. We cant afford 25 first choice players, despite what many think on here.
You would struggle to find a player as professional and as solid as Allen willing to sit on the bench at this levelAgain, nobody is asking for 25 first choice players, just better quality squad players.

We dont need a better striker than Haji to play CF.
We need to consistently play him in the position he wants to play, and have a stronger back up / different option to come off the bench or when he needs resting / is suspended / is injured.
He is our record signing for a reason, not to mention HE IS A FUCKING CF.
The obsession with Haji on the left is fucking mind boggling and it all spans from people seeing him on the ball more in a game and thinking its “effective”
We need him in the box finishing chances, not creating them for someone else.
Stop square pegging players we do have to create round holes for players we dont have.
Again, not wanting someone just to sit on the bench, someone who can rotate would be ideal.You would struggle to find a player as professional and as solid as Allen willing to sit on the bench.

It is very naive to think we have the squad split into 11 starters and the rest bench warmers.
We need to be able to rotate, especially when the season gets busy.
I think hoping for a better back up LCB than Bidwell is not wanting the world or a like for like stand in...It appears that some on here want two starting 11's is the point. Absolutely need to rotate but you cant expect to have like for like stand ins. Look how weird it feels having MVE and KKH in the same squad, now imagine that across the whole 11
No I agreed earlier we need a new CB, we do not however, need a CM, LW,RW or an 8th keeper as has been suggestedI think hoping for a better back up LCB than Bidwell is not wanting the world or a like for like stand in...

I mean agree with most but we currently only have one out and out Right winger in the first team (Sakamoto).No I agreed earlier we need a new CB, we do not however, need a CM, LW,RW or an 8th keeper as has been suggested
