That's without replacements for those that may leave
That's without replacements for those that may leaveYour addition is really coming on. Need to practice ranges though.
7-9 yeah.
We have no backup at: LW/RW/RB and arguably AM and need better at CM IMO.
If we keep Wright we’re OK up front, need a LB a keeper a CB and maybe a CM for the first team tho.
Could make a case for a striker and a backup CB too TBH.
3 or 4 of quality plus 4 or 5 backup is what’s needed. If we can fund that without major outgoings then fine. Two seasons running we’ve run out of squad before the end of the season. The squad is not fine.
We finished 5th last season haha, all we need is a few quality additions not a whole new squad ffsReally hope we haven’t deluded ourselves into thinking we can go again with this squad.
We've been lucky to some degree, especially with MvE. It's criminal to have had no cover for him for 2 seasons. I never want to see Lati at RB/RWB again.We finished 5th last season haha, all we need is a few quality additions not a whole new squad ffs
So what, a few quality players and cover for sakamoto and Milan what’s that 4/5 players? This whole needing a whole new rebuild is embarrassing, glad it’s professionals in charge and not @shmmeee making all the decisionsWe've been lucky to some degree, especially with MvE. It's criminal to have had no cover for him for 2 seasons. I never want to see Lati at RB/RWB again.
Same goes for Sakamoto, we can't really risk that again if we are serious.
The rest is more down to upgrading what we have but depth over a season would be a huge bonus. There were times last year where we couldn't take players out when they were clearly out of form.
I got 6. Assuming the following leave: Collins , Lati (thinking he’s more realistic), Bidwell, Simms/BTASo what, a few quality players and cover for sakamoto and Milan what’s that 4/5 players?

We didn't run out of squad last season. Right flank is thin but otherwise I don't think we had it any worse than you'd expect over a typical 46 game season. We're not gonna have the silly depth Sheff Utd had on our budget.
To be fair, didn’t Torp play that role decently well. Imagine he’d be the back up for himWe kind of did. There wasn’t really much to change the game v Sunderland and other games towards the end of the season.
We’re relying on Rudoni to play AM with no alternative.
Overall, the squad is in a good place but it needs beefing up with 3-4 quality players and current starters pushed down the pecking order.
If you look at lots of clubs in and around the playoffs, they have a fair few academy players who fill squad roles.I feel like maybe a couple youngsters could step up this year the likes of Andrews, Obikwu, Moore, Daush, Sandiford Jr likely candidates

I’d keep Obikwu over Dausch ( or send both on loan and keep Bassette) but 100% agree we need to pad the squad with academy talent as our 5/6 choices. Especially with our budgetIf you look at lots of clubs in and around the playoffs, they have a fair few academy players who fill squad roles.
I would keep the likes of Andrews, Moore and Dausch.
Obikwu to a L1 club on loan, and Sandiford out to League 2

It saves a lot of money and if they perform you can either fast track them or sell them for a good amount of pure profitIf you look at lots of clubs in and around the playoffs, they have a fair few academy players who fill squad roles.

I think changing the structure of the academy would be better.most clubs have deeper squads thanks to padding it further with youth players that they dont have to register in the 25 meaning they can have even further depth. Wonder if going up to a cat 1 academy would benefit
Sorba Thomas giving the ball away trying a fancy flick, leading to a Belgium 2nd. Glad we didn't get him ( Stoke have)
Blimey calm down - it weren't that funny
We currently cant go up to cat 1 academy due to the facilities we dont havemost clubs have deeper squads thanks to padding it further with youth players that they dont have to register in the 25 meaning they can have even further depth. Wonder if going up to a cat 1 academy would benefit
I think we will see Torp , fitness allowing , playing as an 8/10 and if Eccles stays then I think Lampard sees him as a more progressive midfielder than a holding player .
I think Torp and Wright could be a very interesting partnership next season, Wright looked a different player when Torp was fitI think we will see Torp , fitness allowing , playing as an 8/10 and if Eccles stays then I think Lampard sees him as a more progressive midfielder than a holding player .
Unless you are joking, I think he means an 8 or a 10I want better than 8/10 every week
I know you’re having a laugh, but a team where every player is rated at an 8 every week would be smashing this league.I want better than 8/10 every week

You got me again with your dry humourOh does he!? I hadn't thought of that

7m euros is insultingGalatasaray made an official €7 million offer to his club Coventry City for Milan van Ewijk
Coventry City want 15 million euros for the player.
Fulham are in contact for the player.
Dutch clubs are also following the player.
This comes from Twitter, so no idea if it's a good source or not.
I couldn't agree more7m euros is insulting
