Not sure if it’s been said anywhere else on the forum, but we could really do with a new right winger and right back.

Its pretty average all over, splattering of talent, it needs, a lot.

Bold going before the official KDH announcement.

But also, we only have 16 players so you should take some of these out

….bottom line for me, even at this point is whether we’re stronger than the side that finished last season so strongly?

I think there’s an argument to suggest we are but we lack strength in depth and for all the doubters, I’m not sure we’ve replaced Doucoure’s physicality and energy.

I totally agree.

But Isn’t it mad that we have no one who can play (competently) on the right, but we’re still stronger than last season.

Imagine if we can get the equivalent of Aznou for right back and a decent rapid right midfielder.

I reckon we will see 3 go from that list still.
Patterson - loan or sale
Harrison or Tim - loan
Chermitti - loan

Leave us with 19 and another 4-5 incomings.

 

[TheBigIguana]

The outgoing column is fantastic. Not a single useful player among them.

Gave me a small heart attack thinking Jack Harrison was somehow back

Martyn
Hibbert Stubbs Weir Pistone
Osman Gravesen Carsley Kilbane
Cahill
Bent
​

The man with the plan squeezed every last drop out of this bunch.

I believe you’ve accidentally made a typo on Zinedine SKilbane there

Loved him in the dugout for the derby when he'd been transferred.

Shows how much he cared.

Glad we're getting away from his pedestrian ways.

Still to this day can't believe the 'wrong' Bent and all those 1 nils got us over the line that season.
