2022/23 Frank Lampard

Is it a misquote on the terrible BBC sports site where he allegedly said "I may not be here at the end of the transfer window" ? I can see him leaving in maybe 2 months but surely that this soon?

That is an interpretation , but not what he said.

You'd have to be completely clueless to read it any other way.

Was a throwaway remark, didn't mean anything

Its just his way of saying that nothing is guaranteed in football.

Super Frank

We're doomed if he doesn't bring one in and if we bring tat like Adams in.

It's got to be Broja or similar quality or we'll take the drop.

A striker who guarantees us 10-12 goals is what's needed....and that DM slot sorted out.

To be fair Adams had a better PL record than Broja last season.
Broja is not proven but I’d still prefer to take the chance on him, he shouldn’t be our first choice though.

Frightening to hear him confirm the suspicion that we were looking to go just with Calvert-Lewin this season up front before his injury.

Context though. Was asked that's it's been 6 weeks since Richy left and no striker. He said we had Dom 3 days before the season started so it hasn't been 6 weeks of having no one and that we looked to strengthen other areas.

Was gonna say. Adams is a better striker than Broja. Broja is pure "development" that would still not fill the Richy void.

Not really a stretch though from what was said.

It was a bit silly to say no one saw DCL getting injured. He had missed 2 thirds of last season with recurring injury problems and had literally just had to miss the Blackpool game a week earlier. Obviously they were aware of some sort of issue.

Agreed, but it wasn't what was said.

DCL was clearly doing well in training and I don't think an injury for him could be foreseen any more than any other player...... his injury is not at all related to the injuries he had last season.


Having so little credible forward support at the start of the season is the issue he didn't address in full , although he did say they didn't want to bring in just any player.

I am not disagreeing with the interpretation.
I am saying he didn't say what you said he said.

 

[Jacob]

He won't survive November if he doesn't sign an effective striker.

Neither will I. I've already worn one bleedin' pacemaker out

get a grip

I have had a feeling he might walk for a few weeks based on his body language. We are woeful at transfers and perhaps he's going to jump before things get untenable to save his career. The board are playing Russian roulette with our season because we could easily be 6 games in 6 losses because we just cannot score and will not win tomorrow.

Broja or similar quality ? You literally have no idea how good or otherwise Broja is, you flatulent bluffer.

How about a bit of positivity eh?
