Don’t think it’ll help him personally that he joined a Millwall team focused on playing very direct.Hard to judge a league 2 player as the gap between Championship and there is enormous. Not many move league 2 to Championship directly.
Our problem in the play offs was our finishing.
The defence, with a new LB and a competent keeper is ok to me.
He's better than Simms at pretty much everything.
That is true.Thats not difficult
Wright got 12 in about 15 games less.12 is a good return to be honest compared to our current front 2.
When have I said I want Wright gone?
I don’t want either but if we can’t do better than Riis then I’d be disappointed.Look up Simms vs Riis stats this season. I have done btw...
When have I even spoke about Wright. I'm saying compared to SIMMS and BTA he had a much better seasonWright got 12 in about 15 games less.
For where we want to go, it’s nowhere near enough.
You said ‘compared to our current front 2’.When have I even spoke about Wright. I'm saying compared to SIMMS and BTA he had a much better season
How much input does Lampard actually have on selecting players that HE wants!?I don’t want either but if we can’t do better than Riis then I’d be disappointed.
I am forgetting that some will be just desperate for us to sign anyone. Lampard will want better there is no doubt of that.
I would consider our front 2 the only 2 in the squad who only play up front.You said ‘compared to our current front 2’.
My apologies, I did think you were referring to Wright who literally plays up front for us.
If Simms and BTA both go, which although some have said isn't happening, even Saddle has now said looks possible. What level to you think we'd look at for essentially the 'second choice' striker? If you think someone better than Riis then fair play, that would be nice. Not sure I can see it though.I don’t want either but if we can’t do better than Riis then I’d be disappointed.

Like Robins, he will have the final say.How much input does Lampard actually have on selecting players that HE wants!?
Don't recruitment do all the running then they put them in front of Lampard!?
I don't think Lampard is scouring the leagues for players.
I think we'll look to get both of them off the wage bill and bring a 'keeper to challenge for the number 1 spot once Dovin is back.As it stands we have two senior GKs and Bell currently under contract. It's very unlikely we'll look to move on both Wilson and Collins. I'd imagine the priority will be to get the latter off the wage bill which is going to be difficult for the obvious reasons.
He is from that neck of the woods isn't he and was with them as a kid?If it is only us and Norwich in for him id say so
We're a more attractive proposition than them nowadays

Not true. We’ve also got Cardiff’s striker and Liam Walsh and Carlton Morris.Like Robins, he will have the final say.
So far on here, we’ve got half of Peterborough’s bottom half League one team and Preston’s goalkeeper and striker.
I’m hoping our recruitment team cast a wider net.
Something to do with the club World Cup… it’s a waste of time but I suppose it evens the playing field because there those teams participating had a ‘mini’ transfer window to register players for the tournament.
In practice, almost definitely makes no difference.
Real Madrid have just paid Liverpool £10 million for Alexander - Arnold even though his contract is up at the end of June, just so he can play in the Club World Cup, they have more money than sense.

It's not really. They can get 125m if they win the tournament.Madness
I mean truthfully I don’t really pay much notice to other leagues outside of England so didn’t know the club World Cup is worth that much.It's not really. They can get 125m if they win the tournament.
Well he is a class player so could make the difference between say quarters or winning the thingI mean truthfully I don’t really pay much notice to other leagues outside of England so didn’t know the club World Cup is worth that much.
Is Trent likely to be a difference maker for them in order to change their free transfer to a ten million pound one?
It’s not madness it’s called businessMadness
Nonsense. It's peanuts compared to the potential income from the CWCReal Madrid have just paid Liverpool £10 million for Alexander - Arnold even though his contract is up at the end of June, just so he can play in the Club World Cup, they have more money than sense.
Not sure I agree on the BT and LK comment. The worst of our defensive record was when Binks or Lati were playing in addition to no end of goals that should have been dealt with better by the GK (Mainly Collins).We can have one of BT and LK but not both. One of those needs a proper upgrade. Please just look at the stats. The defence cost us a lot of points and it was only because all the other teams were also inadequate that we squeezed in. 68 points was 4 light of what normally gets you 5th or 6th
Not a chanceI think we’d sell him for £10m. Worrying times.
Big lad, could cover goalyProbably get stick but how about Rhian Brewster from Sheffield? Can play up front and I think on the right, out of contract aswell, good at this level and knows the league
NoSchlupp being released by palace, LB but 32 get a season out of him ?

BT and LK are a solid partnership and this is coming from someone that did not rate Kitching at all prior to him coming back in to the side.
OP is right. We need a competent striker as it’s like playing with 10 men. This was glaringly obvious for the last 10 games or so.
