you think we will play 3 at the back?
you think we will play 3 at the back?I think we’ll see a much more counter based 3-4-3 in the prem. I agree in that I think Wright could thrive with his pace and ball control in tight areas.
But my big concern with him in that system is his hold up play. Seems at times him and Simms struggle to make the ball stick which would allow us to break at pace.
Simms did this well at Portsmouth away.
I think we’ll play a mix to be honest.you think we will play 3 at the back?
Wood is more realisticI know he's probably way out of reach but a striker like Solanke would be ideal for the way we play and the amount of balls we put into the box
TrueWood is more realistic
Could possibly be an amortization exercise?Whilst im not suggesting this is going to happen, or that its even on the cards. To suggest that getting one of the best goalkeepers at the very highest of levels of all time for £8m (which let's be honest, isnt necessarily what he would be asking just because its what hes on now. Hes actually weighing up retirement. £8m to retirement is £0m. £8m to say 50% of that for one last season is £4m.)
Even if it stays at £8m, we need to sign a keeper for next season. We cant throw Dovin straight back in in the PL. Wilson wont cut anything higher than 3rd choice. We need at least 1 keeper signed, if not 2. £10-15m for a new keeper, plus £1-2m in wages, is still a lot more than £8m in wages for the very much tried and tested Nauer.
I'll never understand why so many on here get so hung up on "high wages" of players as an immediate reason to not sign them. Without actually putting a bit of thought in to it and looking at it from a different angle. And a free signing on £8m who we all know is more than qualified is definitely a good shout if we fail to sign Rushworth permanently (who none of us know how he'll get on at PL level).
Also, if he keeps us up next season in the same way that Rushwworth has saved us numerous points this season, then yeah.... £8m would be an absolute fucking bargain!

I think I’d prefer Promise David, but I wouldnt mind both and having them two and Haji as CF options next season
Doug bring me this man
Not a chance he comes. He turned down PL interest to go back to the team he supports.Is it worth raiding Celtic for some like Keiran Tierney? He'd surely fancy another crack at the premier league?
Wouldnt come to us would cost at least £20m.I think I’d prefer Promise David, but I wouldnt mind both and having them two and Haji as CF options next season
I think he'd be good but you're right. There's not too much else I'd consider from the SPL these days. Wouldn't say no to Raskin, 100% leaves Rangers in the summer.Not a chance he comes. He turned down PL interest to go back to the team he supports.
I’d throw £20m at him, and £5m at Wood, then thats your attack sorted really, loan in a winger then turn to the rest of the squad, if we can sell Simms and BTA for say £15m its only a £10m net spendWouldnt come to us would cost at least £20m.
Yeah, because Ben Wilson who's won L1 and Championship promotion and the Championship golden glove should definitely be earning the same as Manuel Neuer who has won numerous Bundesliga titles, played in the champions league (finished runner up numerous times), has over 100 caps for his country including WC runners up medals, made Ballon d'OR dream teams, won "worlds best goalkeeper" on 5 occasions, won "worlds best goalkeeper of the decade", 2 decades in a row.... I could go on. Yeah, for fairness, let's pay him less and use the difference to top up Ben Wilson and Luke Bell so they dont feel left outMassive wages could upset the squad harmony if one person is on £100k a week more than anyone else

Youre right. Wilson definitely deserves a pay rise because of this.* World Cup Winner (in 2014) - also won the Champions League twice
Its exactly that. For the right player, it makes sense.Could possibly be an amortization exercise?
Why? None of know how good he is, if Lampard and the recruitment team think he’s worth bringing in then I back them.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..
Exactly this. So many people on here like to look ITK and like they know EVERY footballer ever to sign a contract in the lifetime of football. Look how many wrote FTT off as shit and not the type of player we needed, most of which having probably never actually seen him play a game, just assuming as he wasnt good enough for Brentford, he wouldnt be good enough for us!Why?

Completely agreeSimms and Wright both struggle holding the ball up
Brobbey did it fantastically well for Sunderland against Spurs the other day, that's the kind of striker we need

Because we are going to the PL and he's 18 year old who has played just 33 mins of first team football in his career both in the FA Cup. They are only the two times he's made a first team match day squad. He isn't a max dalman banging on the managers door with his performances to get regular match day squad experience and some first team action.Exactly this.

If Frank, Doug, and Austin think hes good enough, then hes ok for me.

So by your logic you would have turned your nose up at Dowman before he had played a good amount of premier league minutes. The lad at Liverpool Rio has only played a handful of minutes and he come on against PSG last night and looked brilliant. Derry could be the next Foden or he could be in non league in 5 years but the point is we don’t know. If Lampard and co think he’s up to it then I’d back them, they’ve done a pretty good job so far.Because we are going to the PL and he's 18 year old who has played just 33 mins of first team football in his career both in the FA Cup.

We've seen enough PL youngsters dropping down to the championship and league one, and when it is their first loan they are usually nowhere near the level, so there's no way I want us to sign an 18 year old in the PL we their first loan. Waste of a loan signing.
I believe this is purely paper talk anyway, like I said we got linked with 5-6 Chelsea youngsters last summer and it was just lazy journalism.
I probably say it’s more likely Frank was looking at other targets if he was there to scout than Derry.So by your logic you would have turned your nose up at Dowman before he had played a good amount of premier league minutes.

Yes I probably would. There is a difference between a club blooding their youngsters in a safe environment, choosing when and when to play them - Ngumoha and Dowman, than throwing them in a side who's going to be struggling and spend most of the time out of possession.So by your logic you would have turned your nose up at Dowman before he had played a good amount of premier league minutes.

Well doubt he was there to scout Derry when he wasn’t even in the squadI probably say it’s more likely Frank was looking at other targets if he was there to scout than Derry.
Especially when you consider the source.
Yeah more than likely there’s nothing in it, but my point is we shouldn’t turn our nose up because he hasn’t broken into a billion pound Chelsea team.I probably say it’s more likely Frank was looking at other targets if he was there to scout than Derry.
Especially when you consider the source.
Cole Palmer had already made 41 first team appearance for Man City, playing 1.5k minutes scoring 6 goals and 2 assists across all competitions before moving to Chelsea. He hadn't just played 33 mins in the FA CupCole Palmer was being lined up for a loan to Burnley, Chelsea ended up signing him and by January he was looked at as one of the best players in the country.
We will get wood when we are officially promoted, I'm sure.Wood is more realistic
