Transfer Rumour Kaine Kesler-Hayden (2 Viewers)

I’m sure MVE will be off this window but, if he stays, I’m in the camp of those who think he and KKH could both cover for Tats. A specialist on the wing would be nice but tbh I think I’d rather spend the money on another striker.

Given that we are reportedly after Anass Zaroury I suspect Lampard disagrees with the above.

This window has been a little strange. There’s not been a solid offer for MVE. He’s been involved in all the pre season games. At the moment he looks like he’s staying more than leaving.

It’s mad that we probably have the two best right backs in the league.

The club probably though interest in MvE would come sooner and that is why the rest of the business is a bit slow.

I really hope he does stay but I fear the worst. There’s still a month until the window closes and as we all know there is often frenzied activity in the last 24-48 hours.

Exactly. Like lampard said recently some positions pick themselves due to lack of cover, others need to be competed

And you can tell Lampard doesn't think along the lines of you will be first choice and you will be second choice. That is for the players to decide and he expects them to keep battling to be the first choice.

To be honest if a player joining wanted to be guaranteed first team football, I think Frank's response would be why? Don't you think you are good enough? He will expect players to back their own ability and have the desire to play at the highest level possible.

The key to keeping a competitive squad happy, is to have a winning team on the pitch and a realistic possibility of promotion. Even if a player is on the bench, they are still involved in that success and that progress. They will get game time and opportunities. It is down to players to guarantee they start, not the manager.

If KKH is the better defensively, which I'm hoping for, then I can see them "platooning" as the yanks would say. One starting and the other coming on at 60mins depending on the game.

I doubt it will happen because I still think MVE will leave but wouldn't it be great?

We’re not selling MVE, we wanted cover for him and we’ve got it, it’s a long season and we’ll need both of them plus they can both play further up on the right if anything happens to Saka

MVE will probably stay now we have good cover for him! Last season we burnt him out as we had no one else. MVE will be even better this year
