Jhon Lucumi - Transfer Rumour

Charles Eats Grass said:
Just as important as the CB’s for me.

Mayenda and Isidor just aren’t clinical enough and won’t get enough goals to keep us up, imo. Both good options, though.

Don't agree at all. Whether they get enough goals is a different matter but if we go into the season with this defense it won't matter anyway.

Lammens, Diakite, lucumi and Mikautadze added for me. Imagine that fuckin lineup. 3 goals conceded and 120 scored…

Lammens
Hume Lucumi Diakite Mandeva
Talbi Xhaka Diarra Adingra
Le Fee
Mikautadze

Or a tat of his arse on your face?

That team would be a dream to be fair

Give me that!

Along with

Tolu Arokodare

Loans

Oscar Bobb
Andrey Santos
Nordi Mukiele

Lammens
Mukiele Diakite Lucumi Reinildo
Xhaka
Diarra Le Fee
Adingra Mikautadze Bobb

Subs: Hume, Ballard, Cirkin, Patterson, Sadiki, Santos, Talbi, Mayenda & Arokodare.

Squad: Moore, Huggins, Seelt, Rigg, Mundle, Roberts, Isidor & Abdullahi

Still think the defensive group would be one utility player with experience short. Get to Nov/Dec and pick up Tomiyasu on a free.

Sell - Blondie, Pembele, O’Nien, Hjelde, Triantis, Neil, Matete, Browne, Ba, Hemir, Poveda & Rusyn​

Why would you sell O'Nien?! Club legend and a great person to have around even if he doesn't get much game time

Unfortunately the reality is they won’t be anywhere near good enough.

This is our big opportunity, we need to get it right now.

Is anyone bothered really about the players that helped us get promoted from League One that are not here anymore? Batth, Wright, Gooch, Embleton, Clarke, Stewart etc. ?

Players will get left behind and if it means we need to get 14-15 players this window to stay up then so be it.

I'm not seeing the way you see the reality. I think Ballard, Hume, Cirkin, Mayenda , Isidor will improve and play a massive part.

We go with more than 2 or 3 from last year as starters we will be adrift as the bottom and practically relegated by Christmas. That’s the reality. I’m not suggesting it’s right but that’s the modern PL. and yes, it stinks….

I like Ballard, Hume and Le Fee will be starters all season and rightly so. There's just not a chance we're going to replace all 11 playerss.

Hume, Ballard, Mayenda and Le Fee will definitely be in starting XI come first game. They are all perfect for Prem imo.

Agree on some need to be binned/let go of though, however with the AFCON we are going to have to be careful how many we lose.

FWIW I think Rigg will play a lot more than people expect too, despite how we are looking in pre season.

I agree they all will, but I guess it shows the gap we have to bridge because despite being two of our better players last season, there are still big question marks over both Hume and Ballard imo.

Obviously Ballard was outstanding in the playoffs, but if the season had ended after 47 games you'd have to say he'd had a poor season. Injury disrupted for sure, but still some poor performances and until the playoffs he's lost his place even when fit.

We've seen them both only once against PL opposition - Ballard scored an own goal and gave away a penalty, Hume was tortured through the whole game.

Everyone of those are capable of making the step up like, they’ll thrive with better quality players alongside them.

Far too many people shitting on the players who got us into the premier league in the first place here like.

Patterson,Ballard, Hume, Mayenda and Isidor deserve their shots at the premier league, Probably Rigg and Cirkin too.

I wouldn't mind a keeper better than Patterson but wouldn't be against him being our number 1 for the season.

Some fucker wants 10 of last seasons 11 completely replaced
Click to expand...

and far too many people don't seem to be able to grasp the gulf in class between the championship and the premierleague

we'll get absolutely rinsed week in week out if that many of our team from last season are regular starters because they 'deserve' it. it's small time mentality imo

they have a place in the squad but we should absolutely be looking to improve everywhere if the opportunity arises
