I hope you are right about just got enough to stay up.

We‘ll be fine,

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We Aren't going down

So far only shmmeee has actually predicted that. All I'm saying is

 

[Martw]

Got some news, but its not transfer related


Sheaf minimum of 6 weeks out. Scan done today

We HAVE to get a midfielder in or we are in real trouble

Eccles Torp Allen as the CM options for the next 10 games

Oh my god - surely we won’t repeat the mistakes from the summer

 

[no_loyalty]

I’d be all over Lewis O’Brien but no doubt he’ll go to Sheff U or someone similar

Agree, a current top 8 team for sure.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Agree, a current top 8 team for sure.

Surey any midfielder would wanna work under fabulous Frank

 

[quinn1971]

The sheer arrogance of him thinking that will result in us signing nobody

That’s why I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t do anything in January, he actually believes we have

You would like to think so.

 

[shmmeee]

I dunno. I think the argument there’s three worse teams is reasonable. Just worry we get this window wrong and things could go very wrong very quickly.

Don’t think they’ll be much happening this window, it’s the summer that worries me, kings more worried about selling players for profit than putting a top 6 team together no matter what he says, would love to know what lampards been promised, there’s no way he’d of come here without getting some money to spend ? And that’s got be the reason he’s brought Lampard in to attract players maybe robins couldn’t ?

 

[TomRad85]

We needed a CM anyway, I'd be tempted to get 2 if the right options come up. Sheaf cannot be relied on and should be moved on in the summer.

 

[shmmeee]

Why are we pretending Rudoni doesn’t play CM BTW?

I actually don’t think a three of Eccles, Rudoni, Torp/Allen is much worse than what we’ve had. Sheaf has been crap most of the season.

Still think we need a dynamic number 8 tho.

I'm not sure what worried about selling for a profit is based on tbf. We didn't move on anyone we wouldn't have wanted to have moved on last summer and the manager was given a decent amount of money to spend on top of that.

It’ll be a big risk for anyone signing sheaf, especially for the price that we think we’ll get for him, misses a lot of games

I know, I don't think he'll fetch even half the price he would have last summer. I think if we can get a few million, whatever the exact amount, will be more useful to us than him.

It's another cognitive dissonance classic from SBT

"Sheaf has been shit all season, he needs dropping"

"Sheaf injured, that's it, we're getting relegated"

And look what we did with it, it’s ok selling your best players, we always have and always will but we’ve replaced them with crap, and we won’t get players like hamer and gykores again, not with this recruitment team, and I doubt king will let them have much to spend anyway, based on this squad I wouldn’t, surely Austin’s on his final warning, sackable what’s happened

I think really, despite the fact the recruitment could have been better, we have still landed on a few players that if we really wanted to, we could sell and have another go.
The bones of a good squad is there, but I do think the next batch of 4-5 permanent signings will be quite important.
I've said before I just want this season over, I'm just a bit over it already.

It’s more there isn’t someone to play if Sheaf isn’t at the moment isn’t it?

Eccles?

Eccles Torp Rudoni is fine as a midfield. We do need more depth but it's not "the worst midfield in the league by a distance" as one overexcited poster called it.

spot on with the last bit, still couldn’t see why with that squad but believed all the hype we’d be good enough, proper reality check , just worries me that the last few signings have been poor ones from, Barnsley, pboro and Huddersfield, scraping around league 1

Another putting words in people's mouths classic that nobody has actually said.

OK and the backup for that when Torp gets knackered every game?

Rudoni wasn’t exactly pulling up trees in CM earlier in the season was he

There's bigger plans for him at LWB

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

I think you mean fallen into a barrel full of tits sucking a thumb?
I hope you don't write scouting reports

I preferred the other one

I’d put Allen in front of Eccles

Wow

"Sheaf injured, that's it, we're getting relegated"

Considering this promotes Allen up the pecking order I can understand the reactions but if this prompts us to buy a quality central midfielder it may be a blessing.

Looking like Sheaf value is plummeting every minute looking towards the summer.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Oh my god - surely we won’t repeat the mistakes from the summer

That’s really bad

How many games until they burn out tho? Need bodies to rest players

 

[quinn1971]

Anyway, back on track…. Cov telegraph… things are happening behind the scenes but nothing confirmed yet

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Obviously depth at only having Allen and Lati to rotate would be an issue but would this be the worst midfield three. Eccles is often seen as similar defensively to Sheaf and has shown to be able to play the aggressive 6 role before (Leeds).

Tracks with what Jimmy and Saddle have said. Hopefully some news sooner rather than later

 

[chiefdave]

What happened to one ready to go as soon as the window opened? Was that actually an ITK or not, can't remember now.
