2 in 20 mate, he just needs a chance.

Yer son: they just don’t create enough chances for him

Also yer son: eh we should go for that McNeil yeno

The big issue we have is that we are not the exciting project that is going to break the big 6 monopoly anymore. In fact quite the opposite. We are a side who now will have limited finances and a relatively unproven manager.

It is hard to make a case in our current situation that Frank on a limited budget can outwit the likes of Graham Potter, David Moyes or even the Wolves manager. Then you have Newcastle who will be spending big so its highly unlikely we get near to them in the near future as already their squad looks stronger than ours and that's after one transfer window.

Probability suggests that we will be in and around 11th to 20th for the foreseeable future. Its also very hard to envisage we will progress beyond that even after the next 3 seasons unless we get Usmanovs investment back which will give us an advantage on the clubs around us as well as the new stadium income. Or the club is sold to someone similar who can invest how we were previously to the profit and sustainability rules being in place.

Until that happens we will be relying on a project of Frank and the Dof and as stated before, what's to say that will be any better than the likes of Brighton, West Ham, Wolves who all have similar projects in place. In fact our dof was surplus to requirements at Wolves so why would he necessarily do a better job than the guy who is there now?

Depressing but fairly accurate assessment unfortunately.
Very difficult to attract players even if we can afford them. Next season will be a struggle.

Saw someone suggest that Weghorst yesterday and it nearly broke me.

[Nymzee]

Its not almost, its ALL.

Well Gana, so not all

 

[jazzy]

When do the contracts actually formally end? Would be good to see some very early culling to assure the fans none of these waters are getting extensions.

If we extend Kenny I might just give up

usually end of June

The transfer strategy needs to change, we need to focus on bring in younger talented kids like Leicester have done and build from there and sell and make profits. This season will involve balancing the books and hoping to stay up next season then push on the year after

My main hope is that we can get some talent from Chelsea or within our own ranks.

Heard good things about Lewis Warrington from the academy. Like to think there is a better path for lads who have the quality now we have Lampard and Thelwell overseeing.

Look Jack, Gana doesnt play for any of those teams.

I simply implied that people would attack you with Gana shouts.

Danny Murphy on Talksport earlier saying Everton deserve a points deduction if it comes and said he'd go a step further and also impose a transfer ban for our supposed flouting of FFP. It seems yesterday is hurting him.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I think given the financial constraints it may be a case of going for some punts on younger players and more experienced players on the cheap/free.

We can improve taking this approach, but it's a pretty big risk and it's where the likes of Thelwell will need to earn his corn.

You lost me at Danny Murphy.

If FFN on twitter is correct (and he normally is) the list of signings give us hope and belief for next season. Young, fit, non injury prone players, that's good enough for me.

I know Connor Coady is mentioned, people will have their own view, but I have been looking at his stats, he rarely misses games, he doesn't get injured, he doesn't get sent off. He is a defender who is a leader. I would take him and Tarkowski right now in place of Mina and Keane. Mina never plays and Keane is no kind of leader. Both these players, for very small amounts of money would straight away improve our defence.

 

[jazzy]

I like Mina we are so much better when he’s playing. Just his injuries. I will offer him a new deal based on apps related clause.

Wow that's generous of you .

I was just saying, not all relegated players are tosh that's all. But I wouldn't shop at those 3.
