If Dasilva can't get through the amount of games we have coming up then i'd take trying KKH at LB over what i've seen from Bidwell recently.
If Dasilva can't get through the amount of games we have coming up then i'd take trying KKH at LB over what i've seen from Bidwell recently.Hopefully we get 2 quality signings , one midfielder and one wide/attacking player. To date KKH hasn't been used as LB cover so if that's how the coaching staff see it a LB to compete with JDS would be a good addition
I would too but not sure whether the management team see it that wayIf Dasilva can't get through the amount of games we have coming up then i'd take trying KKH at LB over what i've seen from Bidwell recently.
No I doubt they will either, they'll want round pegs in round holes. Watching Bidwell recently has been painful at times though, which is a shame as he used to be a decent LB.I would too but not sure whether the management team see it that way
I’d only sign a LB if Bidwell is moved on. The old stalwarts of the Robins era; Wilson, Allen and Bidwell are now all ‘culture’ players. Good to have around the dressing room and all are happy with reduced roles.No I doubt they will either, they'll want round pegs in round holes.

4 for me maybe I'm an imbecile to think we need cover at LB DM and 2 wingers but I think Frank feels the same way.Well it isn't utter bollocks is it. How many of those players genuinely made a massive contribution to Burnley's promotion push? I remember Bournemouth did the same several years ago and again, most of the signings made didn't really work particularly.
You're frankly a complete imbecile if you think you need to flood a successful, settled and established squad with a load of signings unless it's completely necessary - i.e. injuries etc.
Adding to the squad with 2-3 quality players would more than suffice.
I agree on the priority and agree we won't sign another LB. Our next signing at LB will be in the summer hopefully as a Prem club.I’d only sign a LB if Bidwell is moved on.

Personally, I don’t think we’ll move any of those players on in Jan, but definitely in the summer. Although, I’ve said this for 2 seasons now…
Priority for Jan is an out and winger and a player who can play AM as well as out wide imo.

Get a loan in someone who can attack surely. I agree we need to be careful not to load our squad with players that won't cut it if we go up. But the drop off and style shift if we loose Dasilva is way to jarringI agree on the priority and agree we won't sign another LB.

I'm not going to say we're definitely not and get bookmarked and called a c**t when it happens but i can't see it. If they want to bring in anyone who can improve us anywhere on the pitch i'm not against it.Get a loan in someone who can attack surely.

Why do we need 4-5 in though? No point signing players for the sake of it. Could destabilise what seems to be a really well knitted group.Am I being really naive thinking if we are still well ahead of the pack come January, we will basically have the pick of available Prem loans and a huge queue of agents knocking on our door saying their players would love to sign for us? Is 4-5 in that big a leap?
That's the thing, I'd love improvements obviously but that's for the summer. Now we just need players that can cover without us having to shift our entire play style. Round pegs in round holes as mentioned above.I'm not going to say we're definitely not and get bookmarked and called a c**t when it happens but i can't see it.

At a stretch you could make the case for 4-5 players:Why do we need 4-5 in though? No point signing players for the sake of it. Could destabilise what seems to be a really well knitted group.
I think we need a winger, an attacking central midfielder and possibly a left back if Brau is a write off. Nothing more really.
3 minimum wouldn't be a disaster I just don't get the idea that adding bodies would rock the boat. Our players aren't thick or totally spineless. I'm sure they would prefer to have a better chance at promotion. Bar a marquee signing, which I don't think is on the cards, adding a few is the wise move for me.Why do we need 4-5 in though?

No chance. He's on £50k a weekGo get Taiwo Awoniyi on loan. Put the cat amongst the Haji and Ellis pigeons.
At a stretch you could make the case for 4-5 players:
2 x wingers
1 x AM
1 x striker
1 x LB
The Bamford story is interesting and think we wouldn’t have vetoed that move with nothing else lined up for Jan. LB is high conditional on Bidwell leaving imo. Realistically, I think we sign 1 winger rather than 2 because assuming we sign that Manneh he is a AM/LW which fits that need too.
Realistically, 2 signings is a must and anything in addition to that is a bonus (2nd winger, ST, LB or CB).
No chance. He's on £50k a week
Lampard Chelsea connection n thatThink you've nailed it mate. Familiar with the club so will settle in quickly and Lampard is the one to unlock all that untapped potential. The winger reference is probably just smoke and mirrors to keep the competition in the dark.
Heads, shoulders, knees and toes
There has to be an ITK balance between Jimmy, Saddle and GIMOC somewhere. Jimmy just sticks the tip in and walks away, leaves you wanting much more. Saddle just rammed it in with no foreplay at all which some people didn't like. Then there's GIMOC who bent you over, missed the hole and snapped his dick in half.
I think I need Jimmy to evolve honestly.
Please God no...we can do so much better than Kasey Palmer nowcould there be a link between this rumour for us and the article about Palmer being shipped out by Hull
So he sticks the tip into you so you can stick the tip into us? Just leaves everyone with blue balls really, you need to get yourself a proper blabbermouth as a pal like the kitman Saddle was porking.Honestly man, if i knew more i would say. He rarely gives a name until it's virtually done. I literally just asked him on Saturday if there were any more whispers about incomings, his words were we had been monitoring a midfielder from abroad and made an enquiry about a Championship winger. So i was just left to discuss who it could be.
I don't get much from him but what he does tell me usually turns out to be good. Everything he told me in the summer was pretty spot on. Apart from Sheaf, i don't think anyone saw that coming, it was very last minute.
I don’t think Doug is for saleApparently Doug bid from Mikey Johnston at Half Time on Saturday..........
Lol I would definitely be enquiring about Mike Johnston, not because of that first half he's always been a dangerous player, was set to leave baggies in the summer so maybe a cheeky bid in Jan to bring him here?Apparently Doug bid from Mikey Johnston at Half Time on Saturday..........
Basically yeahSo he sticks the tip into you so you can stick the tip into us? Just leaves everyone with blue balls really, you need to get yourself a proper blabbermouth as a pal like the kitman Saddle was porking.
Lots of sexual frustration from you today. Sort him out @SaddlebrainsSo he sticks the tip into you so you can stick the tip into us? Just leaves everyone with blue balls really, you need to get yourself a proper blabbermouth as a pal like the kitman Saddle was porking.
Where you heard that mate?Apparently Doug bid for Mikey Johnston at Half Time on Saturday..........
Fair, i think he needs to give us more to work with though. Tell him its good for forum traffic.Basically yeahI think he has to be careful to be honest without saying too much. I respect that so i don't really push it.
Will pass that on!Fair, i think he needs to give us more to work with though. Tell him its good for forum traffic.

I just don’t see where the extra bodies would play though.3 minimum wouldn't be a disaster I just don't get the idea that adding bodies would rock the boat.

Bar a marquee signing, which I don't think is on the cards, adding a few is the wise move for me.
We have a 24 man squad which includes 4 keepers. We could let Kai and Brau out on loan for experience. Bidder will probably stick around but it's stark that he no longer fits what we need and Lati really doesn't seem likely to play much part at the moment.
The squad is tiny any way you slice it
