Agreed. The issue comes when the squad fillers end up playing almost every week, which hopefully won't be the case next season.So what? They were cheap signings (£0 and £0.5m) to fill out a squad. Not every player is going to be a £3M+ signing who goes to the PL.
Realistically what kind of Premier League can we see Sheaf moving to?
A 4 year contract works out pretty expensive in itself.So what? They were cheap signings (£0 and £0.5m) to fill out a squad. Not every player is going to be a £3M+ signing who goes to the PL.
Being English is always a boost for transfer fees for a start. He’s worth an 8 figure sum and wouldn’t go for less than that.I know people will disagree but I wouldn't lose sleep over selling Sheaf. The strategy still remains the same even under Doug. Buy cheap, sell high.
I would be disappointed at the figure we'd get for him. I don't think it will be as high as people would hope.
Unfortunately its not a bajcetic situationHopefully your source is pissed off about last night and thought “I know, I’ll do that Bajcetic thing again…”
In all seriousness, sad if true and will feel slightly like another overhaul in the summer given the level of player we’ll be letting go just when we all thought we’d be perhaps be in more control. That’s football.
Unlike you, you're normally a shining beacon of positivity on hereFeel very deflated hearing that to be honest
As you know I've been banging the Sheaf is staying drum for a while and that we will use Vik money
Thats not correct now. Sheaf has said he would like a crack at the premier league. Which we cannot blame him for of course
With his current value at its highest dont be surprised if we lose him
For me, if we do, that is too much of a rebuild again for the summer

Well that’s a blow. But again, must be done early. Sheaf money could be spent on 2/3 more ready made players rather that rougher diamonds - hopefully meaning less of rebuild.As you know I've been banging the Sheaf is staying drum for a while and that we will use Vik money

I don't think I mind losing most of them to be honest. Moore, Kelly, Godden, Allen. We definitely need an upgrade on themAs you know I've been banging the Sheaf is staying drum for a while and that we will use Vik money

Last summer we were also recruiting for a system we actually played. The problem being that the system turned out not to be fit for purpose.While hasn't actually said to the club he wants to leave people should remember:
a) There is a succession plan for all players
b) We will be in better shape next year as we are recruiting for a system we actually play
Simms and Wright have nearly scored 20 goals each, they’ve been hugely successful. We need top stop signing Chelsea youth players though.I’m feeling exactly the same as you Saddle, I’m beginning to think the “reinvest the money into cheaper options” model isn’t working. We took a duo that scored basically half our goals last season and replaced them with a load of okay-ish players but ones that are too afraid to have a shot at goal or actually run at players, take defences on. The majority of weeks I see a team that moves the ball around well but can’t do anything with it and a defence that spontaneously crumbles for no reason.
We need a hell of a lot of players to not only replace our current options but to add depth to the squad. New keeper, new pacey LB, new midfielder for Sheaf, an upgrade on Eccles, winger cover for injuries/suspensions, O’Hare replacement, new CB for rotation etc etc, the list goes on. If we ever want to get serious about getting into the prem then we need a shit load of money spending on the team but it’s just not promotion worthy in its current state.
Yes but they are on decent length contracts and obviously part of the wage structure. That's not cheap. There was no mention of transfer fees paid in my post either or any expectation of going to the PL . No idea what your point is as currently neither justify a place in the squad currently in my opinion.So what? They were cheap signings (£0 and £0.5m) to fill out a squad. Not every player is going to be a £3M+ signing who goes to the PL.
Yes and that's concerning on what we've seen so far.We’ve got another 3 years of JDS after this as well.
haven't we outscored last year?Simms and Wright have nearly scored 20 goals each, they’ve been hugely successful. We need top stop signing Chelsea youth players though.
We’ll have to be aiming for the play-offs, automatic promotion is probably too far off without investment rather than reinvestment, IMO.
It’s the model mate, I get your argument but we need to build a squad and it’s only half way there.As you know I've been banging the Sheaf is staying drum for a while and that we will use Vik money

Sorry I literally just edited it because forgot to mention Simms/Wright/Saka/MVE have actually been decent. I get that the King model sort of works but the rest of the team really needs rejuvenating, and I’m concerned that King just won’t spend a bit of his own money unless we get it from sales.Simms and Wright have nearly scored 20 goals each, they’ve been hugely successful.

McNair is just the type of no nonsense leader defender we need.Alan Browne, Paddy McNair on a free and Kyprianou from Posh is a great start
Not sure on Browne, others yes.Alan Browne, Paddy McNair on a free and Kyprianou from Posh is a great start
Any idea why we’re getting rid of Bidwell?
Is that a list of who you think might be leaving or are absolutely leavingAs you know I've been banging the Sheaf is staying drum for a while and that we will use Vik money

There had better be a bloody good replacement lined up for him . It appears that he seriously undervalued .Nope and its mind blowing to me. I think its a case of hes 32, year left on his contract and we can get some cash for him
