That's working on the assumption that signing a 22 year old is just for the sake of a single season
All of which takes me back to the question I started with. No point in signing squad players as we already have a lot, and nobody seems to want to replace the ones most likely to struggle in the Chamionship. In which case there is no case for new signings.....but we seem to want new signings.
My worry is we still look toothless up front rangers and Swindon created very little
Game management .It wasn’t much different last season but we had the capability to shut teams out, we only won 3 games by a two goal margin.

Huge for the last couple of seasons .
Shut down the first half
Nick it in the second.
Listen to what the other players say about McFadz, he will start. He's one of few players in the squad who has even played at that level.
No evidence he's a weak link, he made a few mistakes early season, don't recall him being done for pace due to his positioning. It makes me laugh that he's cited as a weak link yet Hyam nor Rose have even played at that level, and pace wise Hyam got destroyed v Yeovil that time (Hyam has improved a lot since then).Doesn't matter. If he's being exploited by the opposition you can't afford that weak link regardless of what the players think or the help he provides them. Doyle helped the players through with his leadership but ended up having to be dropped because he just wasn't up to L1 pace.
He may have played Championship but it was a few seasons ago and his team ended up getting relegated.

I don’t I think we will be bang in trouble early if we do not bring quality in upfront.Personally I think next season we will do rlly good with the team we already have and we can always strengthen in January or next summer if needed
Pretty sure Williams is now second choice RB at LiverpoolNico Williams on loan from Liverpool, could do with another RB if Da Costa is out long term, as Pask doesn't look comfortable playing there.

Problem is can we afford these lads ? Robins was promised the McCallum Money we’ve spent that on Hamer,I don’t think their is much in the pot to go out and sign playersA name popped into my head the other day when I was wondering 'what if we miss out on Sheaf'...Trevoh Chalobah. What's annoying is I've just read he's about to sign on loan for Lorient in Ligue 1.
Only just turned 21
6 foot 3 defensive midfielder / defender
Chelsea academy player (so surely some links there with AV)
Championship experience, 2018-19 with Ipswich (relegated), 2019-20 with Huddersfield (in a relegation scrap)
Has represented England from Under 16 - under 21 level...
Would surely have ticked a lot of boxes.

...and yes such a card exists.
There you go we’re competing with teams we can’t get close to financially.Oliver Skipp has gone to Norwich on loan from Spurs for a loan fee believed to be £1m. That’s about as much as we can spend on a permanent player

Yes but Skipp actually broke through into the spurs first team. There will be Chelsea players who have been out to Holland a la Fankaty and want/need first team experience in England. Also Spurs would have known Norwich could afford to pay the 1m.
I looked through the players they had out on loan and can’t see anyone that is realistic/would be good enough. I’m not sure there is much of a link with Chelsea anyway, we’ve had one loan signing in 2 and a half years. Seems to be more with Wolves
Wasn't Wakefield from Chelsea as well
How much do we think Skipp’s wages would be? Because that’s £40k+ a week. In the championship. For a loan player. Incredible. And shows what we are up against this season.Oliver Skipp has gone to Norwich on loan from Spurs for a loan fee believed to be £1m. That’s about as much as we can spend on a permanent player
There is no link with Chelsea, there is a bit of knowledge in Viveash of players Chelsea have had I thinkI looked through the players they had out on loan and can’t see anyone that is realistic/would be good enough.

Head of Academy wasn’t he ? Probably has a couple of links I think he was highly thought of down there plus he will know players Dabo,Sterling etcThere is no link with Chelsea, there is a bit of knowledge in Viveash of players Chelsea have had I think
It's others who don't want favourite players to be replaced, not me. I think we need better quality than Kelly (Sheaf?) MacF & GoddenRobins has reiterated that strength in depth will be vital in coping with the demands of the Championship this season. By signing Sheaf (or an alternative if we miss out), that provides depth to a position where we've long been thin. I personally wouldn't call that pointless.
We need better strikers mate or we will be in serious trouble I know that muchIt's others who don't want favourite players to be replaced, not me. I think we need better quality than Kelly (Sheaf?) MacF & Godden

Afternoon guys

apparently interested in George Friend and a young lad from Bristol youth team, something Hewlett (always forget the first name)
