Hopefully not. Hiwula is our only goal threat.
On Kasteneer, in my mind him & Jobello will play the wide roles in the 3 forwards surely?

I don't feel comfortable with Bayliss as our number 10, which I think we'll play if we don't sign Bright. If we miss out on Bright, I'd love to go for Marcus Maddison from Peterborough, Someone (possibly Sunderland) had a bid of £600k turned down, but haven't been back. Possibly available for £800k? but It's very much a sideways move for him.
We're still desperate for a striker. Without a quality number 10 & striker, we're in the same position as last year but with different personal, If we get those 2 positions, we'll be right up there.
Define 'classy' please?Willis was a classy defender for this level.
Hopefully not. Hiwula is our only goal threat.
We haven't seen Kastaneer or Jobello properly but surely they have been brought into to be goal threats also?
Define 'classy' please?
Willis might be faster but if you can read the game well it makes up it that I think we’ve got ourselves a very good replacement.The optimistic of us can see the squad is a bit better. The pessimistic of us can see the squad is a bit worse.
Those who are realistic will want to see how we start the season before deciding.
Willis v McFazdean? Someone we know the strengths and weaknesses of against a very experienced pro. Speed to make up for mistakes against slower but seems to read the game better. Not celebrating Willis leaving but looks like a more than adequate short term replacement. This can and will be disagreed with.
As it stands I think this is how we start Bayliss at number 10 I feel will be his best position.So play him in between them?

Dabo was second choice for both sides and neither teams fans were complimentary of him. Didn’t look great at leamington either. Sterling was one of the best right backs in the league and is clearly more highly thought of at Chelsea / England.
I don’t think Kastaneer will feature much because of his fitness not his ability and the fact we have Hiwula / Jobello our wide.
You really are a joy to read, Dabo played 26 times in the Dutch top flight, considering they only have 18 teams that's a decent proportion of games for the second choice right back. He started all but one of their Europa League games too.

Bright had scored 1 goal in 47 games before he joined us then got 6 in 18.In the last two seasons, Jobello and Kastaneer have contributed to 10 goals. Last season alone, Thomas and Hiwula contributed to 27.
Apologies didn’t look that much into it. I saw some of their fans laughing that both their right backs weren’t good enough and coupled with his small number of appearances, I gathered he was rotated a lot.
Anyway, do you believe he is an improvement on sterling? I certainly hope so.
I’m not trying to be pessimistic, just offering an alternative opinion on things. I can only see us improving on last year if these two wingers can contribute to 30+ goals between them or we continue our recruitment.
Were we going to get an upgrade on a player like Sterling? He is probably an upgrade on Grimmer ergo an improvement to our substantive squad.
Bright had scored 1 goal in 47 games before he joined us then got 6 in 18.
Hiwula is still here and was the main contributor to those 27 goals plus we also now have Allen in midfield who scored 9 for Burton last season before we even get to the wingers.
We definitely look like we have more goal threats and options across the squad, time will tell if they can actually produce.
Exactly. Not good he left but decent looking replacement.Willis might be faster but if you can read the game well it makes up it that I think we’ve got ourselves a very good replacement.
Marcus Browne has the same agent as Josh Pask and Tom BaylissI agree mostly. I would like us to go after Marcus Browne or George Maris. If we don’t sign a 10, it’ll be 4-3-3.
Marcus Browne has the same agent as Josh Pask and Tom Bayliss
He's also one of Jodi Jones mates. They played together from age 6
Haven't heard anything but Browne isn't in China with West Ham first team so I suspect he'll be loaned out somewhere this seasonIs that a hint?
As it stands I think this is how we start Bayliss at number 10 I feel will be his best position.
Is that speculation or do you have your usual source to back that up?I don't think he's refined enough to play number 10. Feel like that is one position on the field you have to play a specialist or it doesn't work
