Could be in for a big rebuild in the summer in the strikers department. BTA potentially off this month, Haji surely leaving if we do not go up - If Norm has a decent 2nd half to the season would it be a massive surprise if a prem club came calling and if Simms recaptures some of his from from last year I'm sure he would have some admirers as well

Just hope we don't let BTA play against us next week because we sll know what will happen and I can't do yet another late journey back down yhe M6 in a bad mood!

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

Spot on , he should be back up to Simms currently and given 20-25 minutes as a sub . Starting him makes no sense

hes got potential, and giving him starts gives him confidence an experience, if simms isnt firing, isnt on it in trianing, and bassette is, then you have to start bassette.

He hasn’t been given much chance, however as someone (rightly) pointed out to me, he hasn’t ever been a prolific forward at any time of his career and his 10 goals last season seem more of an anomaly than a sign of things to come.

Seems a good pro and a likeable chap. I think that’s a fair fee and recoups the majority of our outlay.

You really don’t. His scoring record throughout his career is poor and his all round play is Tavares level. He’s might come good but somehow people have memed him into the next Vik. BTA for all his faults was a solid 1 in 3 striker before he came here.

Last season maybe. At Salford he was less than 1 in 4…

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.
Click to expand...
The OP was, hence my comment.

It’s clear that the reinvestment has been questionable but questioning whether King will pocket the cash is based off of nothing.

Which of these goals per minute in the championship stats do you think is which?

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

If Lati is sold are we not looking at bringing another CB in or will we just have to make do with 3 until the end of the season?

In the Championship he hit under 300 minutes per goal last two seasons. Then he came here…

I agree, but there has been rumours of Brighton, Newcastle and another prem club monitoring him. I think him being capped by Belgium has inflated his reputation but prem clubs could see him as a cheap punt

Shifting BTA and Lati for a highly rated prem prospect in CM would be a miracle.

So if one player is playing poorly, he should still start every week because the replacement is 20? ‘Throughout his career’ is a stretch for someone who made c.60 apps before joining us. BTA was 1 in 4 at WBA (a team who had just been relegated from the Premier League) and 1 in 4 at Salford in L2.

He bought a business that's almost guaranteed to make a loss year on year so I dunno if you've got that one right.

Fucking hell. If you think Bassette is Tavares level that’s enough info for me to disregard all of your footballing opinions.

Could always look to loan one in. Assume we’d have some wages left over?

Bassette does some things right for sure, but his biggest flaw is he isn't scoring enough goals, I am sure as a young striker he will get better.

He does have a lot of good things going for him though, he's quick, energetic, tenacious and I think that's why Lampard plays him to press from the front. I'd like to see more of Bassette and Simms together, if Lampard decides to stick with the two up top.

I was looking at appearances rather than minutes but I guess this way is fairer.

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.

Agree but to be fair to the lad he has been involved in 4 UConfLeague games. Played nearly full game against Astana and was very highly praised for his performance.

If we can buy him, that ticks all the boxes.
