Bit out of left field here but could Lapslie play RWB? He filled in briefly at RB in a game last season and looked comfortable and has the energy to get up and down the wing. Probably not but just a thought as we're desperate.5

Strangely I like the idea of it, will never happen thoTalal said:Bit out of left field here but could Lapslie play RWB? He filled in briefly at RB in a game last season and looked comfortable and has the energy to get up and down the wing. Probably not but just a thought as we're desperate.0 -
Sorry mate, cannot agree with that. You have made a huge assumption there, that Bowyer can keep us up. No manager can continue to get such results when the owner continuously sabotages the most modest of plans, and often at the last minute. Duchatelet probably assumed that because he got us up despite Grant leaving, he can play the trick again now.Davo55 said:The fee for Dijksteel, not a penny of which will be given to Bowyer, will probably mean that Duchatelet will break even in 2019/20.
And if he can do it this year, and Bowyer keeps us up, Duchatelet will play exactly the same game next year.
It's blindingly obvious. We don't want to see it because we are thinking as emotional fans. But look at it with your head, not your heart.
In fact, looking at it with your head , you should be aware of the authoritative studies that show strong correlation between financial investment in squad, and league position. Yes, there are some cases where clubs spend foolishly or cleverly but long term the trend is clear, and no club has bucked the trend by for example "concentrating on the academy".
And of course if a club bucks the trend short-term because the manager does a fantastic job, you know what happens to the manager, don't you?

I think Lyle Taylor would make a decent RWB, let's give that a go eh? Jeez.Talal said:Bit out of left field here but could Lapslie play RWB?

Exactly, with the lowest budget in the league we WILL go down eventually. There are very few managers able to buck the trend for a while and if they do, they'll get snapped up to bigger things. Getting 22nd place would be doing better than expected tbhPragueAddick said:

My concern is that Taylor, unless I've missed it, hasn't yet signed a new contract. If this AD rumour is true that he has been sold just 3 days before the transfer window closes, which will clearly go into RD's back-pocket, what is to stop him cashing in on Taylor for even more money, citing that, as he has been unable to sell the club, he needs both transfer fees to pay the bills etc? I wouldn't bet the old bastard won't do that, in fact I might bet that he does!!12

^^^ not beyond the realms of possibility.

linked on twitter to Chris Gunter on loan as a replacement for dijksteel, id take that tbf. Just annoying that's another loan used up which should've been on a cm/st0

Bit unnecessary fella. For a start Lapslie isn't a guaranteed starter and most wouldn't want him starting in midfield anyway so it's not like we'd be losing much. Also Dijksteel started out at centre mid and look how well he's done. Would you rather Solly played wing back? I don't think he could cut it.LargeAddick said:

Wiredo looked good there when I saw him there in pre-season......but then LB said that he wasnt ready for 1st team football.
Sollys days are numbered. He wasnt that great last season & this one will be tougher. He certainly isn't an attacking RB & cant cross.0 -
I’d imagine it’s a case of Dijksteel not wanted to re-sign on our pathetic wages and potentially both Bower (judging by his previous comments on the matter) and RD not wanting Aribo part 2.
That being said, there’s no way we’ll see any of that money so I can’t see Bowyer being that keen to move him on1 -
maybe a bit OTT, so apologies. Can Solly cut-it, no. Can Lapslie? No, not in my opinion.Talal said:

It is entirely his fault. His game plan has been obvious for months. He wants out but only under his ridiculous terms, in the meantime he will sell anything to attempt to cover ongoing losses. In fact the success of LB must be a real pisser for him.cafcfan1990 said:It’s not entirely Roland’s fault, Bowyer has said he doesn’t want to lose players on frees, which is of course good business sense.
What is Roland’s fault is no
money is reinvested and the contract offer is probably shit anyway.6 -
No probs. Just gotta hope we bring someone in then as Wiredu is the only other option and he's not ready.LargeAddick said:

What if Dijksteel wants to go and won't sign a new deal? Yes I would prefer he went for free instead of money in Roland's pocket, but how is selling someone now instead of losing them for nothing good business sense?soapy_jones said:

Can a player refuse to leave?Redhenry said:Confirmed now0 -
think if lyle taylor is sold i will seriously consider hiring a hitman8

Lapslie at RWB is a perfectly sensible suggestion as his biggest asset, which is probably his engine is exactly what a modern day wing back needs. Especially as he probably doesn't have the vision and quality on the ball to make a top central midfielder.Talal said:

Does anyone really think that Dijksteel would "want to go" if the club had been sold to new owners and those new owners immediately offered him a new deal while at the same time giving Bowyer a decent budget?

Couldn't agree more @PragueAddick. I did say "if" Bowyer can keep us up and frankly, I don't think he will. I'm just worried that the more Bowyer works his wonders, if he can, the more likely it is that Duchatelet will become further entrenched.PragueAddick said:

To make that work would take the sort of out-of-the-box quality management we’ve not had since some numpty selected 5 left-backs in the same matchday squad and then exited the scene in a laundry basket....1 -
Fair enough. So it's up to us to do our best to get him ejected from his trench, because I can't see Bowyer putting up with this another season.Davo55 said:

1 person and 1 person only responsible for Aribo Mark 1.
The deal was on the table. It was then halved
That is RD's self-acclaimed way of doing business. Genius5
