and egotistical.
yes sane and knowledgeable
your right about the squad depth, we’ve got players who can come in and do a job, Saturday we could be forced to start Eccles, Allen and grimes and I’d still be confident we’d get a resultYes our squad is thin but the strength in depth we do have is serious quality
Simms
Bta
KKH
Dovin(soon hopefully anyway)
Woolfenden
Even our academy kid on bench is a Wales international
Then you have the good options in their own right in bray, Eccles, lati and allen
Instead of being angry think people should be grateful for what we do have personally, especially as we know king and lampard are aware of what needs doing in next window
PUSB
He's only played 2 games hasn't he?Not sure how Raj sakyai is getting on but godo looks really good for Strasbourg.
Gives me hope we judging well and got some good wingers lined up for January window
He scored twice the other day against Hajis old club.Not sure how Raj sakyai is getting on but godo looks really good for Strasbourg.

And 2 goalsHe's only played 2 games hasn't he?
2 goals came in 1 gam ethough to be fair. I just looked in his other two games he had low 6 ratings.3
And 2 goals
Gassama another one we linked too looked very good for rangers even during a terrible season for them so far
Think recruitment team will have good options lined up for us
And also now we might have prem players willing to step down if it looks like we are primed to get an auto slot at that time
Exciting

Gassama Rangers fans think is a 1 trick pony and were we even linked with him?
From Lampard’s pre-match interview yesterday:
Not entirely sure who (if anyone) that’s aimed at, but seems a little more pointed than usual…
Ah Bologna you say?One player who has caught my eye from somehow ending up in the SPL is Jesper Karlsson who was loaned to Aberdeen. Didn't really work for him at Bologna and seems to be using Aberdeen to get up to speed having worked with their manager before, a player that really could play in a top 5 league if he sorts himself out. Has a decent record for the national team too. I think i'd rather take him than any player currently at Rangers funnily enough.
Lets face it, there's no way he's saying that in a short interview but won't have discussed, at length, with the owner. We'll get a couple in, i have no doubt.Not the first comment on squad size he’s made. He’s not wrong either. We don’t have the squad for a sustained autos push and it will need a couple in Jan to give us a shot.

The recruitment dept?From Lampard’s pre-match interview yesterday:

He can say he's skint but he'll be like this if we're still top 2 in Jan.Just normal managing up ain’t it? Got a window coming up, want to make it clear that if we fall off it’s most likely the squad. Saying it publicly just puts a little more pressure on Doug not to be stingy. Just like when Doug is interviewed he’ll go on about how skint we are.
Tbh sometimes I think his complaints are a little overblown, as the amount of quality we have in the squad seems relatively par for the course for a non-parachute payment Championship side. He’s obviously used to working with much bigger squads too. But seeing the intensity that we’re playing with, I can see why he wants more bodies through the door. I don’t think we sell Sheaf on deadline day if he hadn’t had assurances the money will be reinvested.Not the first comment on squad size he’s made. He’s not wrong either.

2 goals 2 assists in 213 mins of football, some on here turned their nose up at him.He's only played 2 games hasn't he?
The window in Jan will be massive.
He’s just objectively correct on succession planning. Aside from KKH, there isn’t anyone being readied to step up when there’s a major sale.Lets face it, there's no way he's saying that in a short interview but won't have discussed, at length, with the owner. We'll get a couple in, i have no doubt.
It depends where we are with injuries ect.
Calling it massive is a bit dramatic at this stage when really we need another winger and a midfielder probably at best.
I wouldn't be doing too much to disrupt what could well be a very settled squad at that point apart from filling obvious gaps.
Prem money will sort that out.He’s just objectively correct on succession planning. Aside from KKH, there isn’t anyone being readied to step up when there’s a major sale.
and we can be pretty confident we've got a decent chunk of change to use. Sheaf and Binks and the Vik money is about £12m. KKH and Woolfenden is about £6m so even if we only spend the difference, should be enough.

That could basically be in house, how's Kai getting on?I’d be happy with a versatile wide player and centre midfielder if they were both quality additions. A young version of Grimes please Doug.
We'll already owe a large portion of that,, won't we?Prem money will sort that out.
I wouldn't disrupt it either but it's massive in the sense that it'll likely make the difference or not to going up if we're in contention for the top 2.It depends where we are with injuries ect.

Eh to who? A few promotion clauses to be paid up i'm sure, biggest one is Simms as far as i know but it'll be a drop in the ocean.We'll already owe a large portion of that,, won't we?
I see his comments as an ambition more than a complaint to be fair to him. If we don’t go up this season, there will be a good amount of squad turnover and a fast start will be pretty unlikely.With the greatest respect to Lampard how many Championship clubs genuinely have that kind of luxury...?
It's exceptionally rare that if a key player is sold another is waiting in the wings ready and able to automatically step into their shoes.
He's only really correct in theory.
