And if we sell Rudoni without having a replacement everyone will be unhappy. It's a risk whichever way you do it
And if we sell Rudoni without having a replacement everyone will be unhappy. It's a risk whichever way you do itI won't be happy, especially as it means MVE won't likely to be sold, meaning we've spunk splashed 4 million on a back up right back. Would be a joke of a transfer window.
Any news on the much needed centre back
Bidders played the other night too.Yeah. Lats should be back fit in a couple of weeks.
How does that help? Hes not a good CBYeah. Lats should be back fit in a couple of weeks.
We don't split hairs like that on SBTNot the same player, just the same nationality.
Not the same player linked with Southampton tbf.
We’ll definitely sign a Centre halfIf we have to rely on Lats and Bidwell as CB cover for this season, then I think it's going to be a long hard season
It's just tricky to get targets that would improve us.we are leaving this rather late now, that is my worry. We sold Binks a fortnight ago
It’s more like sitting around playing with a piece of string whilst everyone else strengthensBeginning to think Doug’s approach to Transfers is a bit like my own to gadgets. I bought an Apple HomePod. When I bought it the reviews were great. It looked great and sounded great. Now, every day I have to restrain myself from smashing it to bits every time it sets an alarm when I ask it to play music and I read reviews of how shit it is and not well-suited to my lifestyle. But I won’t put it on eBay, I won’t get a needed replacement until I get my money’s worth. So now it’s only used as a rest for my coffee mug or when another media player is too injured to play.
Does someone want an Apple HomePod at the launch list price? It must be the inner commodity trader in me.
Has everyone else strengthened? Are Sheff U in a better place?It’s more like sitting around playing with a piece of string whilst everyone else strengthens
With the team as it currently is I think we’ll finish 8-10th, we need a ST and CBHas everyone else strengthened? Are Sheff U in a better place?
If we keep things in perspective, this team got the 3rd most points in the league post-Xmas, so the squad is in a good place. Now, 1-2 signings would boost us (obviously) but we can afford to be patient in finding the players that will take the team forward.
Earlier in preseason I was asked if I believed the current team could finish in the playoffs and said yes. I still stand by that.
I do that too, couldn’t find a better replacement for my 80s executive desk toy.It’s more like sitting around playing with a piece of string whilst everyone else strengthens
My interpretation (other opinions may differAny news on the much needed centre back
We keep playing in the same way we did last season and teams have seen that if they don’t take the bait and just sit deep in front of us, we pass it around without threatening anything and eventually cough up a howler or two at the other end.Has everyone else strengthened?

Isn’t that the nub. It’s harder to get quality when you don’t want to (or can’t) pay for it. Or don’t want to take the risk of making a poor recruitment choice. Frozen into inaction?Its quality not quantity we need and i think that is where the problem is
We have outgrown some current players that are hard to move on . And put ourselves in a position to reach for higher quality that are harder to get done.
Its takes time to sell the project when the money is not on the table.
Tbf we are still creating plenty of chances despite teams supposedly finding us out. As long as that continues we will be fine. Its when the chances dry up we should start to worryWe keep playing in the same way we did last season and teams have seen that if they don’t take the bait and just sit deep in front of us, we pass it around without threatening anything and eventually cough up a howler or two at the other end.
I expect many more teams will follow that pretty simple formula and Lampard will stubbornly keep it as it is.
They'll be a c d and an e. Something will have to emerge next week you would think...We're obviously in for a centre back, just hope we have plan b if we don't land Hughes
What clear cut chances did we create against Hull?Tbf we are still creating plenty of chances despite teams supposedly finding us out. As long as that continues we will be fine. Its when the chances dry up we should start to worry
My interpretation (other opinions may differ) is they've been looking to move MVE on and that's holding up plans. I don't think there's interest at around £15m so that might have to change. I'm sure that they are looking at CB options but don't rule out a lower valued player or even a loan if MVE remains. Neither Bidwell nor Perry are anymore than emergency cover. Was it Brau beaten to the header from the Luton corner. The deficiencies are still there anyway!
Not as many as we would like but certainly Rudi had 2 great chances in the first half. If we score one or more of those then Hull have to come out to attack and more space is created ……What clear cut chances did we create against Hull?

We could do with a CB but Thomas and Kitching as a partnership have done well over 2 seasons. There's room for improvement but it's a good enough pairing to finish in the playoffs.With the team as it currently is I think we’ll finish 8-10th, we need a ST and CB

Torp would have slammed one in but BTA made a great tackle.What clear cut chances did we create against Hull?
It’s pretty irrelevant at this point in time though isn’t it ?Championship expenditure according to transfermarket
If it helps one of the Yoofs have said that Brau is tearing it up in trainingI miss the ITKs
