His work rate and drive on someone with a better and product would be excellent.

A lot of the players sounds about 5 or 6 to me - Wouldnt mind that Chair boy at QPR, supposedly only on about £7k a week so could see him force a move through

Expecting Chair but get Balogun

Expecting Archer but get Dykes

Cam Archer on loan from Villa will be one i reckon.

No chance we’d be even close to being able to afford him 

He earns around £100k per week, I had no idea.

No chance indeed.

you can add Matondo, Barasic, McLaughlin, Kamara and Lundstram to that list mate and possibly Sakala as well.

 

Agreed, I didn’t include them as you need a 3rd party to get them out. I only included the ones easiest to move out.

Duk

Beale has to start changing the team and grow a backbone and bin his favourites who are not doing it, has he got the balls to do it we will see.

If he doesnt, he'll not last past Christmas.

We need a succession plan in place for Tav and Goldson isn't good enough, never has been. 

100% our biggest downfall.

Resigning goldson was the beginning of the end for GVB.

That's fair mate.  I forgot the times I've seen him was not in his natural position.

It love to see the kids get more game time, but they have to be good enough or there's no point.

Cant be any worse playing fredo the frog and his partner in crime stats kent.

[falkirkNS 6,298]

Its bad when the sheep have 2 forwards both with 18 goals.

Duk would be my first signing.

[Laudrupsleftfoot 11,195]

Duk is a fucking shit footballer.

I can see us going back in for Whittaker this summer, not even been on the bench the last couple games for Swansea. Their fans seem a bit baffled why Russell Martin can't use him properly, keeps playing him as a CF yet his best spell at Plymouth was as either an RW or AM. 

Can see us trying for Willock as well who has went off the boil at QPR since Beale left but was doing pretty well. I'd say the same for Chair but he is probably outwith our budget, whereas Willock has a year on his contract.

Lol that's my worry.

It's all fine and good talking about what we need.  I have no real idea what we can afford.  That's going to be one of the main factors going into the summer.

I doubt we’ve got anything like what we need Gogzy mate so it’s going to take some wheeling and dealing. Sadly, as we’ve seen with some of the squad, when you shop in a particular market, you don’t get the quality you ultimately need all round. I hope I’m wrong.

I think many are going to be dissapointed in the summer to an extent.  I don't see how we afford a huge rebuild, especially bringing in real quality players.

I think we will continue to fish around in the free transfer market, which is very hit or miss.  Then again we spent millions on guys like matondo, so spending money isn't a guarentee either.

And that’s why, personally speaking, I don’t think we can afford to pay what it’ll take for Tillman, I think that money needs spread a bit wider or on a CF. 
 

Scary when you think what we spent on Matondo, Davies and Yilmaz; absolutely wasted.

I'm hoping we had already budgeted for Tillman.

I honestly think we could easily double out money in a year with him.  Sometimes you have to speculate to accumulate lol.

Obviously an entirely different story if it’s already set aside, if it isn’t, already  small budget probably gets swallowed up. Slightly fearful when we need a gutting of the squad that we just don’t have the money for it.

It's a tough one.  He is a classy player who will almost certainly make us profit.  

I agree that we can't spunk most of the budget on him though.

[Gaffbear 4,101]

Starting at the back then Mcgregor , souter and Barasic can go .

Try get good money for Kamara and Hagi . Sell Wright and Lundstram. Matondo we will have to take a massive hit on 

Kent and morelos away and I don't think beale fancies Colak so could see him sold . 

Seems to think this opp could sort Roofe out so here's hoping .

Love Sakala but he's like Ted McMinn but  he needs to chill and he could be a good player ..

Has to be done, if we don't know what our youth can do then we don't know what we've got.

 

If we don't know what we've got, we can't possibly know what we need.

[rangersross 6,540]

Is Chair at QPR out of our price range? Has done well on assists in a poor side this season.

Who should he be playing instead, exactly?

Our bench last week was Sakala, Colak, Wright, Lundstram, Hagi, Kamara, Arfield, Yilmaz, McLaughlin. All of them have had plenty of gametime.

King is injured and Lowry isn't ready to play. 

Throwing random youth players they don't think are ready into the first team can be more detrimental than beneficial.
