Walsh was excellent last season against us and ran the show. Will never happen but I'd be more than happy to see him back.

A fit Walsh would be an excellent squad player.

Not sure, as i say the reason he peddled through pre season was the family in Holland line to Robins. Hence Robins understanding

Only recently has it become obvious its money related. Soon as Gus said ge wants out Robins says off you fuck

If Robins was that upset about the sale he would say so.

He was vocal enough about the sale of Hyam

That approach from Robins is why we no longer have players in our team with an attitude problem. Since he’s been manager anyone who didn’t look as though they wanted to play for us, and looked like they wasn’t giving their all have been sent packing.

Now I’m not suggesting for a second that Gus had an attitude problem, quite the opposite in fact. But if deep down he didn’t want to be here anymore then the best thing for all concerned is for him to be sold

Our Midfield is now significantly weaker on paper than last year. We need at least 2 in.

We don't have access to anywhere near enough data to highlight a possible replacement for him - but I think the three biggest areas that we need to cover are:

Work rate
Direct passing
Interceptions

We need to find a player who covers the ground that he did, isn't afraid to risk through balls and has the ability to spot players, and someone who reads the game in defence well enough to break up attacks.

I'm not as worried about replacing the goals, they're a bonus, I want us to replace the dynamism and ambition that he provided.
Click to expand...

Its his chance creation. Even befor when came to us his key pass stats were ridiculous. If we want to keep playing how we are we need someone with that vision and technical ability.

Whats signings have ITKs actually previewed? Simms maybe. Wright, Sakamoto, van Ewijk, Thomas all came through papers first and Binks the club leaked. They’ve been pretty good at keeping things tight this year from their side (Binks aside).

Yeah true. We just need to wait for a random foreign outlet to link us to someone we’ve never heard of.

Latibeaudiere and Collins but sounds like they were basically done before the play-off final.

Szmodics is a niggly player

Have a day off. Getting north of £10m for him with 3 weeks left of the window is a good result. Robins knew he was angling for a move. He knew he'd rejected the contract offer. "Blindsided"? Total boll*cks.

Crucial would be the end of the January window. He wasn’t blindsiding the manager, as soon as the player came in with a destination we needed to sell him quick in order to use the proceeds quickly too.

Blame Hamer for the timing if you must blame anyone.

Ignore him , he later posted he reckons King will pocket the money . That's despite breaking our transfer record twice in preseason .
Unfortunately we still have these idiots supporting us

What's Max Bird like? Seen him mentioned a few times. Never seen him play. He's clocked 140 apps at age 22, 6 ft. A few assists the last couple of seasons. Doesnt get goals.

Would take him for depth but isn't starting over what we currently have IMO.

It will be interesting to see what the budget is for a Hamer replacement and what is set aside for other signings

I reckon £4-5m on a CM, £3-4m on a CB, then a loan AM/ST and £1-2m on a backup/prospect CM.

He’d be decent for us if Blackburn would sell.
