If anyone thinks Lampard isn’t panicking about what he’s seen they can think again - he isn’t daft. Hardly going to say anything to the press is he? He will have players lined up it’s just a case of…have we got the money?
2 loans and 1 permanent would do it for me (would like 2 if possible).
Left back, right back, centre back and centre mid. Two of which need to be players with experience and have leadership qualities. Comes at a cost though.
Also for that to happen, we’ve got to move players on. Tavares and Allen I’m sure will find a club in Jan and be allowed to leave. Rapha will head out on loan as it’s obvious he’s nowhere near ready and maybe someone comes in for BTA. Really no point in having 3 keepers either, one of them has to go and let’s be honest…it won’t be Collins. If Dovin doesn’t play tomorrow then he may as well head out on loan as well…same as Kitching.
If Bidders is fit I would not panic about left back. It's a holding defensive midfielder and a strong personality in central defence that are the top priority. Loans or purchase - don't care
