I do the FPL draft with some friends. Going to enjoy finishing bottom next season with Ben Wilson in goal.

Another keeper option could be Nacho Miras. Quite frankly ridiculous keeping stats in Belgium.

Mat Ryan could be a decent option as #2 keeper. Separately, and in no way a rumour, but an interesting option in midfield could be Cristian Casseres from Toulouse. Looks decent stats-wise and can do a bit of everything.

Ipswich getting 5 wins and a draw from their remaining 6 means we need 7 points from here for the title. You’ve got to back us to do that, surely.

Most clubs’ financial year-end is June, with corresponding accounts released in March of the following year. It really feels like the EFL are being made to wait until they’re published - just change the rules so they have to submit a copy to the EFL within 6 months of year-end/end of the...

Not sure on this season but Brentford often switched between a 3 and 4 under Thomas Frank and given he seems to be quite a big inspiration in Lampard’s management style I expect him to do the same.

May as well get Tavares back in because he played well v Man Utd.

Not really. If we get a slug of £150m (I think it’s broken into 2 instalments during the season) then we could theoretically spend the £150m on fees over 3 years and keep £100m of it in the bank to cover the instalments. Really not that alien a concept. For reference, I don’t think we’ll spend...

Plays right wing but just had his contract terminated by mutual consent.

Could always point at that Palace season to show his capability but that’s getting longer and longer ago. I do also think he’s more in the mould of a ‘defensive 10’ than a deep lying midfielder and that’s done him in a bit.

So we’re going to move 7 on but only 3 of their replacements (and that’s including a keeper!!) are going to be good enough to start regularly? Nah, nonsense. If we’re signing 8 players then at least 6 of them will be straight in as regular starters.

I kind of get why people are scared of spending money, but we only need to have about a 30% hit rate to make our entire summer’s spending back if we were relegated. Chill.

Best just not sign anyone then in case they’re not better than what we have.

You replace them with players who cost significantly more. Thats the whole fucking point of us getting £150m or whatever.

Kwanye. Oh grandad.

It doesn’t look to be mortgaged in the traditional sense. The charge held over the stadium (well, the head-lease) is in the name of FRS Estates which is a subsid of Fraser’s. More likely we have it on some kind of scheduled buyout from Fraser’s.

Maybe a bit ambitious but Fabio Vieira from Arsenal? He’s doing well on loan at Hamburg this season and they have an option price at £17.4m but from what I’ve seen they want to pay less.

£30m when he’s going into his last year of contract seems steep. He’s a good player but not worth that for me.

Also, Alvyn Sanches seems to be having a bit of a flyer in Switzerland again. I know we were linked with him a couple of years ago so wonder if we’ll have another look.

On the subject of this, we could look at signing Leopold Querfeld, Austrian CB who is currently at Union Berlin. Proper defender’s defender.
