Surely if there's an offer on the table for BTA King goes to Lampard for a yes or no.

If he thinks he's not up to it and isn't going to play a part cut your losses, if Lampard thinks he has more to offer and is needed then you keep him.

We need squad players. You can't just go here's a decent first XI and hope you can play the same XI week in week out.

In an ideal world you'd like 2 players you consider genuine first teamers for every position but not sure many clubs can afford that luxury and even if they can you've then got to try and keep your squad players happy.

Agreed but we play with one striker and ideally a 10 but we don’t have a 10 so BTA runs around a lot.

You could sell BTA, retain wright, simms and Bassette for that single striker role and use some of the money to loan in a 10.

No but like every potential signing he becomes the new Ronaldo

Not 'that' good, but if he's fairly cheap he'd be a more useful asset to us than BTA imo. It's a position we need. Not against the signing at all.

What if the target is greater than that sum ?

I'm open to BTA leaving to be honest, but on the basis we can bring in someone to replace him, I'd be looking at Ricky Jade Jones at Posh as a potential option.

11 goals in 32 games from LW, but there is a lot of interest in the lad so not sure if doable.

That’s just not productive then is it, we gonna sell all our players and then attempt to get someone in who’s above what we can afford?

Yes, because there’s evidence to suggest that’s been happening all along. It’s embarrassing the way some spout their anti DK agenda. He may have made mistakes but he clearly has been reinvesting the fees received from transfers.
Click to expand...
Nobody has had a go at not reinvestment of funds received. It is how the funds have been reinvested. If you're after proof look at how most seem happy if we made a loss on a player we recently signed.

If we have 4m extra to play with I’d like Sorba Thomas and a RB permanent, with CM and CB loan. Tavares out for the extra squad space

I’d be happy with this depending on the loans.

Bring in the funds, bring in loans to get us to the end of the season then rebuild during the closed season. Let Lampard put a squad together where all positions are covered with capable players.

Notts Forest are open to offers for Lewis O'Brien, Cov should be all over this.

Not sure if we have the finances for it however.

Well why didn’t we get it over the line? Plenty of other clubs don’t have problems with that, if we couldn’t fill the position as poor as palmer was, we needed someone like that

I'm told if they both go, that should give us the funds to PURCHASE the Chelsea CM.

Burroughs is being looked at as the Milan stand in until end of season, depending Lampards view

Shifting on then Tavares and Collins will mean we have funds to buy another player also

I think people are that desperate for signings they are willing to lap up any name offered.

we should be all over O’Brien but I’d avoid sorba thomas at all costs

I didn't say that at all. Waiting until the funding is available to get the player you want is far more prudent.

Wait what? Would they be open to selling him?

Seems a very good player for the future but seems mad they would sell?

Also based on that loan article on the two Chelsea loans maybe BYA is further along as why else would we enquire about a ST

And would fit into bringing our own players on instead of for other clubs. Would expect a big clause being included though.

I like the move for Rak-Sakyi MUCH more if it's a buy. Zero experience of grown man football means it will take him time to get up to speed but he has a lot of potential.
