I don't think it's a massive problem to be honest. Josh Eccles played 45 games last season, Jamie Allen played 28. There are plenty of minutes to go around, particularly as it's likely Sheaf will miss time at some point.

If this is going to happen (and I use this lightly as we know the football scouting world is full of nonsense), how are we going to have a team with Grimes, Sheaf and Pereira in? Seems massively overkill to me.
I actually think they could all play together but then you lose Rudoni, or you have to stick him out wide.Like I said in the other thread, I think some of you are missing what is in front of you here.

I don't know, a genuine ball winner in front of the defence would stop us being so leaky. Our back four is easily gotten at which is on the system/players in front of the defence.Central midfield isn’t where we need to be spending.

If he believes that he gives us more than Eccles, and we can sell Eccles for a decent fee, then sure, it's what he and the recruitment team are paid to decide.Trust Lampard knows what he’s doing,
Tom Sellecks got a ponytail now? Still rocking the tash tho
Trust Lampard knows what he’s doing,
I was about to say the same as we were apparently after him 2 years ago, way before Frank's tenureTo be fair it isn’t a Lampard signing and is a Dean Austin signing as he wanted him for MR originally years ago.
Lampard does seem to be doing wonders with the CM’s though (unsurprisingly…..)
It seems massively like a squad that is adaptable to the opposition we’re facing. This kind of strength in depth is exactly what has cost us in previous seasons.Like I said in the other thread, I think some of you are missing what is in front of you here.

Don't worry the orange clown will probably send Ice to deport him regardless of his Green Card.
Why is everyone now worried about too many players fighting for similar positions? We haven’t had this for decades. It can only be good and will create healthy competition rather than players thinking that they are nailed on for every game. Lampard will not want complacency and if we get injuries, he has reliable players to call upon.It seems massively like a squad that is adaptable to the opposition we’re facing.

This is only a good thing and im very excited by it
It would be a Lampard signing… he will always have the final say on any signing.To be fair it isn’t a Lampard signing and is a Dean Austin signing as he wanted him for MR originally years ago.

It’s not so much that I think but that we need players in other positions first. Plus, we didn’t think we really had any money left.Why is everyone now worried about too many players fighting for similar positions? We haven’t had this for decades.

Literally this.Why is everyone now worried about too many players fighting for similar positions? We haven’t had this for decades.

Heeeee’sssss Venezuelan
He only cost 4 million
We thought he’d signed two years ago

You need squads, not just first 11s.Literally this.
I think he will play right back so Milan can play in an attacking position so KKH can play left back so Brau can play left forward.
Midfield 5 of Grimes, Sheaf, Pereira, Rudoni and Torp is incredibly strong.
Different options to adapt to the opposition or style of play we want to impose each game, and strength in depth meaning we don’t see a marked drop in performance or style as soon as a starter gets injured.
I don’t much about Pereira, but the data indicates it’s an exciting signing.
Over a minimum 48 game season, you rotate regularly. Nobody will be short of game time.Very strong as you say, but I expect not realistic. They aren't all going to play together, and they aren't all going to be happy on the bench either. If Pereira comes in, who are you picking to start out of those?

It depends on the opposition and fixture schedule. For example I wouldn't start Sheaf against opposition where he won't get much time on the ball, but I would when he will.It doesn't seem like anyone can answer the question straight.

I disagree, we still lack a central midfielder who is the engine room of the team and gets us forward. I really hate myself for saying it but its a Hamer esque midfielder we need and i think this lad might be it.Central midfield isn’t where we need to be spending.
Agreed, we need to break the lines better so hopefully he can help with that.I disagree, we still lack a central midfielder who is the engine room of the team and gets us forward. I really hate myself for saying it but its a Hamer esque midfielder we need and i think this lad might be it.
