Yeah, I really don't think we can sell him without replacing. Even if he doesn't go, another player in that position would be ideal. Eccles looked shot last season when Sheaf got injured.

Eccles looked shot last season when Sheaf got injured.The sheaf position worries me. If he is sold late in window we have no obvious replacement. If he is injured now, and for arguments sake, misses the first month or two of the season we could start poorly again and be playing catch up with promotion chasing sides.
Any other position I think we have reasonable short term (4-6 games) cover.
yeah but he got the Everton friendly right...Its just GIMOC dropping a bomb based on nothing knowing that it'll send a select few into a frenzy. I'm convinced he's trolling at this point and fair play because its working.
Tbf seems like not bothering was the plan in January when we couldn't get EMC for another 6 months.So the backup plan is not to bother? Seems unlikely mate.
Lots of talk from agents and the selling club but we never had it confirmed by the management. Were we in for him or just being used as a stalking horse?i find it hard to believe we were willing to part with £4m+ on Stamenic and now just because that hasn't happened we aren't gonna get a CM at all
we had been talking to Rudoni since April and Dovin since MarchI'm not sure theres money in the pot for a centre midfielder, i think we need one but wasn't we linked with Stamenic before Rudoni, Binks and Dovin transfers?
Management wouldn’t confirm that - Robins said the other day he’ll never talk about transfer.Lots of talk from agents and the selling club but we never had it confirmed by the management. Were we in for him or just being used as a stalking horse?
I think GIMOC has been pretty solid this summer but I am doubting him on this
We don't go from dropping 4 million on Stamenic and letting Godden go to not getting in a quality midfielder and striker
Granted after them 2 players I wouldn't be surprised to see no further movement but I would bet a lot of cash on there being at least the CM and ST in
Doesn't mean we were intending to sign them all does it?we had been talking to Rudoni since April and Dovin since March
I am hoping both Gyokeres and Hamer move on soon to give is a bit more cash to invest in the right quality
That position is a concern, yes. The over reliance on a midfielder who is, at best, quite injury-prone, is a concern.The sheaf position worries me. If he is sold late in window we have no obvious replacement. If he is injured now, and for arguments sake, misses the first month or two of the season we could start poorly again and be playing catch up with promotion chasing sides.

Gyokeres does feel inevitable tbf, Sporting would be mad not to cash in at the height of this. Hamers release clause being leaked also makes me think his agent is busy trying to get him away from the shit show.I am hoping both Gyokeres and Hamer move on soon to give is a bit more cash to invest in the right quality
We may have been linked to Rudoni before any Stamenic bid but that doesn't mean we necessarily have the money we might have spent in Stamenic to spend on someone else. Maybe we would have had to sell someone like Sheaf if we'd signed Stamenic and Rudoni.we had been talking to Rudoni since April and Dovin since March
With some luck, Hamer moves late in the window and fucks them over.Gyokeres does feel inevitable tbf, Sporting would be mad not to cash in at the height of this. Hamers release clause being leaked also makes me think his agent is busy trying to get him away from the shit show.
Simms is not our only striker. We spent £9 million on Wright and he's our most expensive player ever and £4.5 on EMC. Neither are going to be spending much time on the bench.Even if we bring in loans, it still doesn’t mean our business is over. Robins can’t moan about squad depth and keep the squad size the same and still below the benchmark of 22/23 season. The overall quality is higher
Counting our injured at the moment, our starting midfield is Allen, Rudoni and Eccles with Simms as our only striker. That clearly isn’t sustainable over a campaign of 48+ games.
The bitch in me kind of wants that too, but i do also want the money asap so i'm torn... i guess the Gyokeres fee is the big one. Hamer cash can be pocketed to help buy the Connexion.With some luck, Hamer moves late in the window and fucks them over.
WE NEED A ST.Simms
Wright
Sakamoto
EMC
Raphael
Obikwu
Tavares
if we had these seven as our options across the front three until Jan, do people think we'd be OK, or be at risk of missing top 6 as a result?
top trollingIt’s not that. It’s more that robins is happy with the squad. loan or 2 for cover.
nothing to do with water tight
WE NEED A ST.
But lost at this. Post says loans or two for cover. I think most people expect two more for cover (in cm and st). Why is everyone losing their heads. Best we’re hoping for is a new st to cover and a decent cm?It’s not that. It’s more that robins is happy with the squad. loan or 2 for cover.

It's a really hard one to answer, its very difficult to gauge where Rodrigues and Obikwu are at in their development, even Tavares really who has improved but has he improved enough? I'm not sure. That's all up to Robins and his team to decide i suppose.Simms
Wright
Sakamoto
EMC
Raphael
Obikwu

Bring back Mick HarfordWe also have Tavares who has a better strike rate than any of our strikers,
He wants to shag meWhat did GIMOC say exactly?
Is there a union for iffy ITKs that have lost their touch which means you have to be polite?I think GIMOC has been pretty solid this summer
I think we’re under selling the options we have. One that interests me is Tavares. His position is CF. He’s been played on the wing. But actually when he gets central he looks like a very natural goal scorer. And let’s not forget we have Simms and then Wright. Godden played no part at all last year in reality.
