We need to start seeing some outs either way

Collins,Bidwell, Allen and loans for Bassette and Obikwu at the bare minimum

Youd imagine, as long as we dont have an injury crisis none of them will get any game time

There will be injuries though. Jamie is a very useful player to have around . Ideally Jake fits that that category too. I appreciate cold decisions have to be taken to fit into both financial and 25 players squad restrictions.
Bassette I think is outside the 25 squad limit.

If Torp can be stronger in general and not switch off when it comes to defending, then he’ll be the star.

For me he is a must starter. He has that ability from midfield to create something that no one else can really do, certainly with as much consistency. Either a smart through ball or final pass. His shooting is also head and shoulders above, which is refreshing when it feels like half our team can't hit a barn door.

I get the reservations about him. He needs to stay fit for one. This season is certainly a big one for him though.

Torp has the ability to really kick on under the guidance of Lampard as Rudoni has . Keeping him fit is the key factor.

obviously I agree but the problem is who wants them? And at the right price.

Take Collins as an example whatever contract he has here will be ten times better than anything he gets next. So we are stuck with him basically. Simon Moore did the exact same thing.

Yep. But who's laughing now.? Moore is at a PL club and barely played for them

True but Moore got lucky. How many times has he played since us and will play this season?

Also sadly proves the point of waiting out your current contract. Even if we gave Collins away for free no one will match his wages here.

All in all Collins has to be one of the most bizarre signings ever. He was Barnsley league 1 second choice keeper and we paid circa 500k to get him.

Wilson wasn’t good enough but had an all time heroic season and more than happy to keep as number 2. But for the Vik and hamer money in and we didn’t get a stand out number 1 was criminal. Obviously robins learned the hard way and went and got Dovin a season later.

Eccles has got 100+ games at a good consistent level in the championship. We've not seen that from Torp yet, some good moments but also some games that have passed him by.

Someone using facts rather than blind prejudice shock.

Doug’s checking exactly how much is left to spend!

Charlton about to sign Kelman for 5m. So much money in this league now, teams must be following the Chelsea model of simply stretching out the payments in instalments over many years!
