I also bet we get linked with Beadle on loan at Birmingham. He is total shit but starts matches and gets moves seemingly just on the grounds that he looks like he should be a good goalkeeper
I bet we get linked with Messlier at Leeds
Is that photo taken from a police photofit?
He badly need to play after his injury, there is no way he'll be no.1 and there is no point sticking him on the bench. A loan to a top end Champ club would be wise. He'll get game time and worse comes to the worst and we go straight back down we'll have a keeper with proper league experience
They sell him for decent money if he proves himself for a year in the prem with 1 year left.
He needs to play test that knee. He won't get on the pitch hereWhy not keep him around as number 2? I think that's perfectly reasonable
With torp in front or a transitional position for Rudoni?Still think Tanaka and Onyeka would be a damn fine partnership for a newly-promoted team.
Don't you reckon they are both a bit slight to be paired in the Prem? I know Tank is not shy of putting it about but you see what other teams have in size and athletic ability nowadays.Still think Tanaka and Onyeka would be a damn fine partnership for a newly-promoted team.
Tanaka would be a good signing imo. Wouldn’t mind Martel as rumoured by saddle as a target before Onyeka. Feel he’s got alot of potential from what I’ve seen and would be available on a freeStill think Tanaka and Onyeka would be a damn fine partnership for a newly-promoted team.
Why aren’t we looking at manual Neuer?!Reports they’re also looking at Manuel Neuer!! Rushworth deal may be on the cards hopefully

You aren't getting PL experience on the cheap though. Much better value abroad
Rudoni I would definitely have as a rotation for AM.With torp in front or a transitional position for Rudoni?
The narrative that a load of 5-6m transfers won’t keep us up is bizarre. A player is not defined by their price tag. Most top players will have been sold for a fee in that region at some point. We’ve just got to find them. That is the precise model employed by the likes of Brighton, Bournemouth, Brentford. We need to recruit well, not expensively.
Delap on loan would be perfect, Chelsea have already ‘signed’ Emegha from their feeder club Strasbourg so Delap will be even further down the pecking order. He was brilliant for Ipswich in the premier league. Great at holding the ball up and getting them up the pitch, similar to Gyokeres was for us. Not sure how realistic it would be.
Yep he fits the bill, I'd imagine we'd have a lot of competition for him if they made him available for loan and zero chance of they want to cash in though.Delap on loan would be perfect, Chelsea have already ‘signed’ Emegha from their feeder club Strasbourg so Delap will be even further down the pecking order.

Yeah. Nearly 8m in wages for 1 season is a bargainHear me out… rather than spending 15m on Rushworth. Let’s just go for Neuer for a year - 150k a week
It does actually. Without dipping into any other championship club and who starts for them i can throw in Thomas, MVE, Grimes, Sakamoto, Simms, Torp, Rudoni, BTA, Kitching, Dovin, Mason-Clarke. Our scouting system seems fine to me. I just think the correlation between huge fees and success is a myth. It’s certainly necessary when you are one of the mega rich clubs who want to contest the title and Europe but it isn’t necessary for us, or a lot of others.£5-6m barely buys you a championship starter these days. And you’d need a much better scouting system than we’ve got to consistently find players undervalued by that much.

I mean I was joking, but if it was an option, the type of profile a signing like that would bring to the club would be worth its weight in gold, and he would be an elite performer who we know can perform at the highest stage, which could win us points. Rushworth on fhe other hand is totally unproven at premier league level, despite being a top class operator at championship levelYeah. Nearly 8m in wages for 1 season is a bargain
Absolutely no thank you.
Lazy journalism strikes again.Absolutely no thank you.
I think this is the media putting 2+2 together and coming up with 76. We were linked with about 6 different Chelsea youngsters last summer and signed 0..
No I don’t. But I also have no idea what it has to do with identifying £5-£6m players before they become £25m and then £75m players. There’s only one factor that pushes that value up and that’s being proven. Gyokeres is a prime example. All I’m saying is we need to be in on the first rung and maybe in a couple of cases, the second.You think the market economy is a myth?

what hahahaha.What pushes their value up is competition for their signature. That happens because multiple clubs have identified them as good enough for their needs at the level they play at. To beat that market you need a scouting team that can spot what others with more money cannot. There is no evidence we have such a scouting team.
Second to Lampard getting something extra from the group the prime reason we’re actually going up is identifying Gyokeres and Hamer for peanuts and selling them on. There’s plenty of evidence our scouting is fine.What pushes their value up is competition for their signature.

He looks like he should be delivering pizza not playing in goal in the premier league.I also bet we get linked with Beadle on loan at Birmingham. He is total shit but starts matches and gets moves seemingly just on the grounds that he looks like he should be a good goalkeeper
Would anyone trust him not to drop them?He looks like he should be delivering pizza not playing in goal in the premier league.
