Nullifies Rudoni though who can’t play in the hole.
To be fair I’d have a play around with the current 5-3-3 and 4-3-3. We have one DM and two more attacking 8s.
As such excluding Eccles we would have
DM - Grimes, Sheaf, Allen
CM - Torp, Rudoni, Allen.
Personally think Grimes will play the holding role and wouldn’t want him as a 8 as that’s where I’ve seen him do his work at Swansea.
Think This means if Tahirovic comes in we would see the return of the double pivot with Grimes and Sheaf with Allen and Tahirovic backing up.
If such wouldn’t need Paterson as would have two tens to play that role but if we played two 8s would be a bit light unless we push Sheaf or Grimes there
Yep which is why unless Tahrovic can play the 8 role or we push grimes there I do think we could use a stop gap until Sheaf leaves in the summerNullifies Rudoni though who can’t play in the hole.

If its a loan with an option that works better. Gives us opportunity to spend a few months finding out about him firstIt’s why I don’t get buying another DM this window.
Me neither or selling Eccles who is quite versatile in being able to play bothIt’s why I don’t get buying another DM this window.
Weird loan tho considering we don’t really know where he would fit in and how much game time he would get.If its a loan with an option that works better. Gives us opportunity to spend a few months finding out about him first
Yes think he'll be shipped out in the summer. Just not strong enough but a great characterDon’t think we’ll be seeing all that much more of Sakamoto
Not sure depending on wages could be a great bench option to bring some flair onYes think he'll be shipped out in the summer. Just not strong enough but a great character
Nothing more than a hunch but if Tahrovic is on I wouldn’t be surprised at all if someone is looking at Sheaf. If someone is desperate enough to pay us around 10m in this window I wouldn’t be against it at all if we have a replacement lined upWeird loan tho considering we don’t really know where he would fit in and how much game time he would get.
Understand future proofing Sheaf but feel we’ve done that with Grimes for now with Allen backing up and the focus could turn to someone like Lewis Bate at Stockport who I feel could play both to replace Eccles
I think Frank rates him and i like the fact he is a totally different type of wide player to anything else we have.Yes think he'll be shipped out in the summer. Just not strong enough but a great character
If he was leaving this window and not Eccles think it would be a great buy tbfNothing more than a hunch but if Tahrovic is on I wouldn’t be surprised at all if someone is looking at Sheaf.

Tahirovic is an international player and played in Italy and Holland. He would clearly be a better propect than a Stockport playerWeird loan tho considering we don’t really know where he would fit in and how much game time he would get.

Sure he would be but we don’t have unlimited funds, if we sign where would he play not to mention the wages being a hold up for him before in August.Tahirovic is an international player and played in Italy and Holland. He would clearly be a better propect than a Stockport player
Sheaf would clearly go this summer. A year left on his contract. This means we get his replacements before he leaves.Sure he would be but we don’t have unlimited funds, if we sign where would he play not to mention the wages being a hold up for him before in August.
If sheaf was sold great but without that we’d seemingly have three amazing DMs for one spot and three 8s for two spots. Unless he can play higher up
Reco has a source who has seemingly been right a lot this seasonWhere's it come from we are getting the bloke from Ajax as well as grimes?
Got a link?Reco has a source who has seemingly been right a lot this season
I disagree. Think the only reason he’s not been playing is because he doesn’t suit this system. Once everyone is back and we are back to out and out wingers, he’ll be back in. Lampard has said on several occasions that he likes him.Don’t think we’ll be seeing all that much more of Sakamoto
You do know if you keep on saying that it still won't become true?Nullifies Rudoni though who can’t play in the hole.
Proving you know fuck all as usualNullifies Rudoni though who can’t play in the hole.
he means rexo and it's in here i thinkGot a link?
Maybe this is where I’m wrong as I thought Grimes was the Sheaf replacement.Sheaf would clearly go this summer. A year left on his contract. This means we get his replacements before he leaves.
If I’m not wrong he called Rabbi off first so fair playhe means rexo and it's in here i think
We’ve just spent at least 3.5 million, think we’ll get a loan at best now. Can’t see us spending millions on anyone elseJust for wishful thinking Rexo would of loved it to be the other Benjamin
Agree on that especially without any player sales covering Grimes.We’ve just spent at least 3.5 million, think we’ll get a loan at best now. Can’t see us spending millions on anyone else
He fancies 3 in midfied and we would then need 6. With Allen Torp Rudoni then Sheaf or Eccles is the 6thMaybe this is where I’m wrong as I thought Grimes was the Sheaf replacement.
If we play double pivot then would say great but that would place Rudoni and Torp into the centre where I think they struggle to play as well as on the left and right of midfield
If Frank sees Grimes as higher up or if he can also great but if not it would us with an additional expensive player without the RB or RW we could do with this year
That was before Lampard came in though, no? Think people underestimate the impact he will have on attracting signings.Can’t see this one happening, already turned us down and we’ve just signed grimes. That being said he’s got something about him and is clearly highly rated so I wouldn’t be against it
Mentioned earlier in this thread.Got a link?
We can all agree Allen has been a revelation on his return to the team. But he's not the long term solutionOnly makes sense if they're not planning on offering Allen a renewal and want a younger more high profile player in instead with a profitable sell on value in the future
