Right. So what I said then.
FWIW I don’t think Onyeka is miles ahead of everyone in the squad like many on here are claiming.
The current squad are nowhere near the level, if they were they'd already be there.
That's hardly a ground breaking revelation. But players can develop into PL quality.
Lampards job is to identify those that can and replace those that can't.

He's not but he's in the group of 'best' players.Right. So what I said then.

Clint it’s because he said he was a failed prem player, not worth signing and still tried to slag him off after Boro.He is. No one could do the job he came in to do. That's why our away form went to shit and got back on track when he came.

I completely agree with you. There may be others who rise to the occasion and prove to be good squad players also.People said it was like a training game against preston but it felt that agaisnt swansea second half too , i think we are simlply a level above these sides , i think we can personally start next season with
MVE
Thomas
EMC
Rudoni
Onyeka
And rushworth if we fluke it
I may be wrong but i also think wright will do a job but a new striker will come no doubt
Part of me doesnt want a brand new 11 as i think it will be detrimental
The closest we had to another out and out DM was Jamie Allen so I’m not sure what saying no one else could do the job is saying here.
Will be one of our first names on the teamsheet. If anything can see Grimes dropping to squad level. Onyeka is better than many think still. He can only play against the opposition in front of him.Not good enough for a top half side, his game time declined as Brentford improved year on year.
At worst, he’s still going to be a solid squad player in the prem.
I agree with you on this. I think Grimes drops to the bench, which is a shame as he's our title winning captain and some player. We'll need the Grimes profile but i think quicker honestly.Will be one of our first names on the teamsheet. If anything can see Grimes dropping to squad level. Onyeka is better than many think still.

We don’t know what players are in the recruitment pipeline which is why I said ‘at worst’. Back in Jan I said Onyeka was better than what we’ve got so think he will be ahead of Grimes in the pecking order next season.Will be one of our first names on the teamsheet.

I've been playing with the idea of Lampard building a team around Onyeka, but immediate bump back down to earth with considering the risk.We don’t know what players are in the recruitment pipeline which is why I said ‘at worst’.

Without jumping ahead too much, it’s also v likely that our tactics and system will change a lot in the Prem. Lampard has demonstrated that he’s a flexible coach in this regard.

Will be interesting to see how Lampard sets us out next year.We don’t know what players are in the recruitment pipeline which is why I said ‘at worst’. Back in Jan I said Onyeka was better than what we’ve got so think he will be ahead of Grimes in the pecking order next season.

I hope he's right, i'd absolutely love him to step up. At the same time i hope they are succession planning.I'm pretty sure that Matt Grimes will start the first game of next season. Lampard thinks a lot of him. In one of his interviews after the Swansea game he referred to Grimes staying there despite having PL offers. I think he believes him to be a player capable of playing at that level and he deserves to be.
We should really be getting in a CM, who can be talismanic, in that Xhaka mouldI hope he's right, i'd absolutely love him to step up. At the same time i hope they are succession planning.
He’ll start the season imo. He definitely deserves a shot at the Prem but looking at the games for us he’s struggled in, it’s all been against parachute payment teams who have a bit of Prem quality about them.I'm pretty sure that Matt Grimes will start the first game of next season.

Still don't mind the Barkley suggestion. Cheapish (which gives us more to spend elsewhere), experienced and crucially we've seen at Luton he didn't down tools in a scrap. Was their best player by a mile and probably the only good summer signing they made.We should really be getting in a CM, who can be talismanic, in that Xhaka mould
I think it’s pretty safe to say, barring any shocks, Allen will be the only midfielder to go, which suggests we probably only have space for 1 midfielder, and maybe one forward who can play at number 10Still don't mind the Barkley suggestion.

I wouldn't be that surprised if Torp was moved onI think it’s pretty safe to say, barring any shocks, Allen will be the only midfielder to go, which suggests we probably only have space for 1 midfielder, and maybe one forward who can play at number 10
I think we could do with both tbhI'd like to see us sign a CB with this sort of profile.
Might be something in Saddles Martel rumour.I think it’s pretty safe to say, barring any shocks, Allen will be the only midfielder to go, which suggests we probably only have space for 1 midfielder, and maybe one forward who can play at number 10
Where could you see him going and how much for?I wouldn't be that surprised if Torp was moved on
Sit this one outRight, so the SBT consensus is now that we’ll be starting next season with basically everyone bar Dasilva and Latibeaudiere?
Constantly drppping clangers then acting like he’s the oracleSit this one out
Transfer Rumour - 25/26 Summer Transfer Window
Tyrese Asante seems to fit the bill for the RCB/RB role too so I wouldn’t be surprised to see him coming in Hope he's better than the current Asantewww.skybluestalk.co.uk

Nah you’re alright. It’s too entertaining watching you all refuse to accept we’ll need to sign players to play in the best league on the planet.
The players we already had had have appeared in 84% of the total minutes on the pitch in the league. Of the difference, the majority of that is one player in Rushworth.Also we signed 8. You really got me that extra signing request made me look like a clown lmao
Where have I said that? I've just said that Grimes will start the season based on the words his manager / Head Coach uses to talk about him.Nah you’re alright. It’s too entertaining watching you all refuse to accept we’ll need to sign players to play in the best league on the planet.
