Surely this needs to get over the line. The owner has admitted that he has left the squad incredibly thin and that Lampard is not impressed.
The two areas we are thin are central midfield and out wide. Chamberlain covers both of those positions. He has played with Lampard in the past and he can clearly still play at a decent enough level having been at Besiktas.
Fitness is the issue but we wouldn’t be asking him to play 40 games. He would only need to manage 20.
He has a young family in Cheshire and they clearly don’t want to move as they haven’t followed him at any point in his career. Perrie has family here in Coventry / Leamington.
It seems to make so much sense and I’m surprised it’s taking this long to get done. If Brum do manage to sign him, they’re extending the gap in quality between us and them even more.
If we were to sign him, I will sing the Doug King song loud and proud.
