And central defence
And central defenceLB is our biggest issue in this squad. Both options are poor
Problem would be depth if you did that tho especially in centre back.I’d rather free something up in either wages or fees by getting rid of Collins, Binks, Lati, BTA to get one quality player in. Difficult I know but this squad with a savvy addition is good enough
Could do a lot worse than Tymon from Swansea as our left back.Depends what league we are in. Odds would say the Championship. First look would be free transfers. Second who do we want from Swansea our feeder club? Think we will have more loans, dare I say from Chelsea. Will look if any players from relegated teams are worth a punt? A couple of left-field signings from abroad.
They're not as young as Rudi but I'd take Adams from Derby, Doughty from Luton and Talovierov from Plymouth in a heartbeat.Are there any Rudoni's we can steal off the teams down in the relegation fight in the Championship?
RELEGATION BATTLE TEAMS:Are there any Rudoni's we can steal off the teams down in the relegation fight in the Championship?
Most of those players wouldn't get in our side nowRELEGATION BATTLE TEAMS:
Plymouth, Luton, Derby, Cardiff, Oxford, Hull
- Mark McGuinness (Luton) - CB
- Teden Mengi (Luton) - CB
- Alfie Doughty (Luton) - LB
- Isaiah Jones (Luton) - RW
- Tahith Chong (Luton) - RW
- Elijah Adebayo (Luton) - ST
- Carlton Morris (Luton) - ST
- Ryan Nyambe (Derby) - RB
- Ebou Adams (Derby) - CM
- Perry Ng (Cardiff) - RB
- Callum Robinson (Cardiff) - ST
- Cameron Brannagan (Oxford) - CM
- Ruben Rodriguez (Oxford) - CAM
- Coady Drameh (Hull) - RB
- Steven Alzate (Hull) - CM
Definitely need to be a bit pickier than that and i think the list misses out some of the better ones tbh. Nyambe isn't even Derbys best RB, Kane Wilson is, who would actually be a decent option to help MvE out. I like Alex Robertson at Cardiff as a midfield option too, certainly from what i saw against us.Most of those players wouldn't get in our side now

Some positions its not about improving the 11 its more about depth or competitionMost of those players wouldn't get in our side now

Alfie Doughty would be good imo, we'd need them to go and get relegated to have a chance though.
I think Nyambe put up a good show against us and has plenty of Championship experience and a long throwDefinitely need to be a bit pickier than that and i think the list misses out some of the better ones tbh.

Do you mean RW?Blackburns Dolan would be top of my realistic list for a RB
He played rwb against us no?Do you mean RW?
Sorry but losing 2 of Sheaf / MVE or Wright would be disastrous and again rule out promotion for the following season. The Ownership need to show some signs of ambition and not flog our best players at the earliest opportunity.
No and he is definitely not a RB, most certainly RWHe played rwb against us no?

100%I didn’t think I would need to spell it out but anyway.
‘The ownership needs to not sell our best players at the earliest opportunity’. That is not saying they have, that is saying we must not sell them in order to improve as a team.
You have correctly pointed out that after selling Hamer and Gyokeres we failed to make the play offs having made them the year before.
The summer just gone, we didn’t sell any of our best players and are challenging for the play offs.
This coming summer, we need to keep our best players in order to compete again and not regress like we did after Gyokeres and Hamer left.
It’s not hard to understand but I recognise any mention of Bling making a mistake will set you off
If it goes to tribunal, not many league 1 players go for more than 500k.I'd be all in on Poku but he won't be free in the traditional sense. It's well reported that a pretty hefty fee decided at tribunal is expected.
Are you going to hold a gun to players heads?100%
Sheaf, Wright and MVE should be signed up to new 5yr contracts regardless of whether they don't want to sign/outgrow us/make us a fortune that can be used to transform the club.
Infact I'd take this further and say Gyok and Hamer should be 1.5yrs into their new 5yr contracts with us right now.
If someone is good they should be playing for us forever and ever, full stop.
Don't worry we are on the same side hereAre you going to hold a gun to players heads?
The main reason we sold Gyokeres and Hamer was they were both coming into their last year of their contracts. Neither of them were going to sign another contract. We let them go nearly 2 years ago because if we didn't we would have lost them for not a single penny last summer. Instead we got well in excess of 40m for them. From that money we have built a side that can challenge at the top end of the table. We have players on long contracts worth millions each. We broke our transfer record signing Wright. Either I'm missing something here (nothing unusual) and you're taking the piss, or you haven't noticed every player has a price no matter what club they play for and also players don't play at 1 club for their whole career anymore. Grimes was the closest to this out of any player in recent years I can think of yet we still tempted him away.
Good to hearDon't worry we are on the same side here
It is hard to read people online tbf! I'm not even a real elephantGood to hear
I have a personal problem. I'm wired up totally wrong. I'm considered to be a genius but in reality I'm as thick as fook. I can read a person immediately but can take all day trying to understand what they write. That's why I keep away from places like Farcebook and Twatter. I can't even get my head around things like someone using filters to make themselves look totally different then having people telling them how good they lookThe last time I used Farcebook was many years ago. I arranged to meet up with someone in a pub. This bird walked over and started chatting with me. Told her I was waiting for someone. She told me it was her. Fooked my head up as I knew she was telling me the truth but I knew it wasn't her
Back on subject. What was the subject?
I suspect our fee for EMC won’t help us here …If it goes to tribunal, not many league 1 players go for more than 500k.
I’d love Knight, Bird or McNally but I highly doubt they’d sell them to us, and on Dickie I’d rather a more mobile CB.Bristol City I’d take Max Bird or Jason Knight, Dickie & McNally would probably be not bad either
Oxford Tyler Goodrham wouldn’t be a bad shout either

McNally did his ACL last monthI’d love Knight, Bird or McNally but I highly doubt they’d sell them to us, and on Dickie I’d rather a more mobile CB.
Tyler Goodrham seems to have a lot of hype but hasnt looked that great whenever I’ve watched him
Eccles?Thinking today what we’d need if we didn’t go up and kept everyone as Saddle is suggesting is a possibility.
We are desperately lacking wide forwards fullbacks and a CB but otherwise I think we’re looking much better at CM and ST
Think I’d go something like:
Dovin/Wilson
MvE/RB
Thomas/Lats
CB/Kitching
LB/Dasilva
Grimes/Sheaf
CM/Allen
Rudoni/Torp
Saka/RW
Wright/Simms/BTA/Bassette
EMC/LW
Get a couple of loans in out wide that can challenge. An upgrade on Allen as an all action box to box midfielder, first choice LB and CB and cover at RB. Not sure we can do all that for the £6m or so Vik is likely to bring in but would be ideal.
