So clearly we are after a winger and one that will likely go straight into the team. So who is out there that fits the profile? @Tea & Busquets tagging you as you have a wealth of knowledge on the leagues across the globe

I think Wrights been too good on the left, he looks way more natural there than in the middle, although of course he'll spend some time in the middle I'm sure.
We defo do need another wide forward regardless though, as I said further up I think, preferably one that can play either side.

I think we need a centre forward and a winger who preferably can play in either side to give us more depth up front.

True but as we have seen this morning, we were prepared to pay north of £6m

Agreed. Right now we could rotate most positions bar wide forwards.

Personally I think we need a first choice keeper. Collins and Wilson are decent enough but both have weaknesses. Wilson's kicking is poor and doesn't really command his area, Collins handling is poor. He always seems to push saves back the way they came rather than out to the sides and drops a lot of catches at his feet before gathering.

We need more depth up from so ST/RW/LW has to take priority. I think in the summer we might also upgrade GK LB and CB to same levels CM/LW/RW/RB are.

Goalkeepers are a tricky one. Not many championship keepers seem to survive in the Premiership, so would be a good invetment to get one in that would be Premiership standard, but not many about. Do you think Arsenal would let us have Ramsdale

It was interesting what someone at the Bedworth forum posted about Robins interviewing potential targets. What Robins & Viveash continually build is a fantastic team spirit - it’s what management is but it’s very hard to do. I hope if we move through the gears in terms of fees paid they continue that as it’s as important as the ability of the player.

It’s like on Football Manager when you find a wonderkid and as soon as you make a bid PSG, Real and City all come in for him.

CB is one of strongest parts of this team? Thomas and kitching look brilliant together and binks is about as good a back up as you can get? Lati can play there too.

Only fadz to be replaced. Not massive priority.

I know it might sound boring , especially after todays revelation , but there are 2 signings ( Smodiczs & Wharton ) from Blackburn, to enhance our team & Liam millar from Preston
They know this league , are presently playing in poor teams & IF our pot of money is that full , let’s cement our place in the playoffs & increase their valuations along the way ?

Not enough value in those signings. We may be doing the big shop at Waitrose now but we still nip into Lidl every now and then for the essentials

Robins seems to disagree. We’ve been after another first team CB since the summer.

Watching Leeds v PNE. I’ve said I it before that Liam Millar is some player of all the English based players he’s the one I’d splash out on
Definitely premier quality .

Perhaps he doesn't want Bink's permanently or possibly does want him but can't do a deal

I think he’s always looking for better players. Apparently we just had an £8m bid for a winger, doesn’t mean he doesn’t rate Wright and Saka.

He needs to replace fadz. Better to do it before he leaves than after. Binks admitted himself both parties want to make it permanent

Right now it’s hard to rest Thomas. Fadz can’t really play in a back four and Lats is covering RB and DM. I can see why a right footed CB is needed.

Not sure we need to with 4 at the back? Thomas and Kitching are great and you'd seriously struggle to get anyone as back up better than Lati or Binks.
If you think you can do better of course you should always strive to do so but I don't see it as a priority at all.

No but that's a position where we need options. As I've said we already have 5 bodies for 2 spots currently and one of them will be replaced for sure.

So you are agreeing fadz to be replaced . And lati so he can come trate on other positions

That's still not two first tesmers so it isn't the biggest priority

I completely agree we should bring in another centre back. I just think Thomas and kitching are so good that it's harsh to label it a position that is currently weaker than RB or CM

I mean RB only has one specialist and you are saying it's position of strength?

I just think Thomas is a) one of the youngest members of our squad and b) still raw in some areas that if we want a solid promotion push or even to plan for PL survival could be improved.

I don't disagree. Would you maybe agree RB isn't a position of strength then simply because we only have MVE as top tier?
