We could maybe pay him off in full, that'd make sense. Talking about a fit Roofe being a very good player isn't wrong, especially when all Beale does is asks a question and repeats what most of us have said. I just find it weird that your immediate take from the article is such a negative one but each to their own. Not negative at all just being realistic, the majority of the article is absolutely fine but the part about Roofe is just daft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what way? All he said is that roofe would be a good player if he was fit. Hardly a controversial take. SeparateEntityMyArse 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

6superbarry6 14,617 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Assuming Butland, Sterling, Dowell and Cifuentes are done, where are we still short? for me we still need a left sided centre back, 2 wide players and 2 strikers, ideally we could replace Lundstram but don’t see that happening this window.

Those 4 signings only solve 2 problems in the XI which is GK and CM. Dowell and Sterling will be back ups We still need 2 wingers, 2 strikers, CB minimum Plus LB depending on what we’re doing there, plus maybe Tillman or replacement graeme_4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roofe is a quality player but he simply can't be relied upon so stay fit for more than 4 weeks at a time, the changes coming have to mean getting shot of him.

I do wonder if we see him as the cover for both sides. Think there's still a lot of question marks in general about the LB slot. We now have 3 players on the books if Sterling signs who are all options there and on the surface all *could* be our LB but none at the obvious starter and maybe none of them will be. graeme_4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
