It love to see the kids get more game time, but they have to be good enough or there's no point. If they don’t get a chance, we’ll never really know. We’re an absolute shit show for giving youth a chance/game time, and have been for years. gogzy, Gascoigne8 and gmcf 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number5 2,122 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 New GK is a priority ans possibly the hardest to address. I'd like to see us planning for Tavs successor sooner rather than later. Raskin and Cantwell are probably starters, do we sign Tillman? If not we need another for the middle then decide who we want to try and keep for the squad out of the other shitload we have in the Midfield. We then pretty much, if contracts arent signed, need a while new front line. Sakala might have a role? I think we need at least 5 starters to get us competitive on all fronts. Who are our assets that carry any value? Obviously releasing half a dozen would help but where we bring the money in from in player sales is concerning. Tough summer ahead.

It should be a great revenue stream, but generally isn't. ForeverAndEver 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blues Brother 1,115 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Are we looking at Cantwell being a midfielder? If so I’m not convinced by that. I think his natural position is further forward. Maybe playing more in Kent’s role long term. Right now he is just playing in midfield as a needs must. At least that’s the way I’m looking at it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blues Brother 1,115 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I reckon 8 players need to leave McGregor, Helander, Arfield, Davis, Kent, Morelos, Jack, Wright. with 5 quality players coming in Goalkeeper 2 Midfielders 1 Striker 1 RW Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Hart is no world beater but he’s been more than good enough for that mob to compete at the level we are expected to compete at. I think we could easily pluck a second or third choice from England who could come up here and do a solid job for a few years. NI 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,610 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Strikers and a another midfielder Jacks done as is Kent as is Morelos and Roofes never going to be fit. We maybe need to get a DOF in to fix the defence out as well as Beale seems incapable of stopping us losing easy goals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from Tilman the rest are no great loss and fag packet calculations I'd guess the 6 above (never heard of the keeper) total about £120k a week in wages (about £6m a year?)
