    Not sure we'll be seeing either Bielik or Cullen this year think both players will be sold by there respective clubs and for a lot more than we can afford
    Both clubs would be stupid to sell this summer, neither Arsenal or West Ham are desperate for cash and 1 good season in League 1 wont make the clubs offer millions and millions.

    Loan to a top Champ or lower prem team, then of they have another good season could sell for a lot more next season
    Except Bielik didn't just have one good season in League 1.

    He was outstanding in the U21 championship for Poland.

    And next year, they can both leave for nothing.

    In an absolute ideal world, in my opinion, players for us to bring in would be something like:

    Peter Shilton in his early 30s

    New CB (Possibly Beckenbauer or Moore if he's not available)

    Krystian Bielik (If not at centre back, then in defensive midfield)

    Fat Ronaldo before he was fat

    Harry Kane

    Messi

    Maradona aged 26

    Zico
    Get off your high horse

    You forgot Maldini

    Much better position already though and thats before we bring in five loan players

    Phillips
    Solly | Lockyer | Sarr | Purrington
    Loanee | Dijksteel | Forster-Caskey
    Aneke
    Bonne | Taylor

    Bench: Loanee (GK) | Pearce | Page | Pratley | Lapslie | Loanee | Loanee

    If we can sign Oztumer then we're a lot closer to the squad depth we had last season and that makes me a lot more comfortable than how I felt at the end of May - Yes I had faith in Bowyer and Gallen but definitely didnt expect them to make the permanent signings of Purrington | Aneke | Lockyer (Bonne is still untested), definitely didnt expect them to be of that level and we could of course still bring in Ben Amos and Jonny Williams on permanent deals too
    No way is Solly a champ starter at right back, and Bonne who is coming from non league isn’t a starter. Even Aneke is coming from league 2.

    I would expect 

    Phillips

    Djiksteel
    Pearce
    Sarr
    Purrington

    JFC
    New Signing (Loanee)
    New Signing (Loanee)

    New Signing (Oztumer?)

    Aneke
    Taylor

    Subs: New Signing (Amos?), Solly, Lockyer, Morgan, Pratley, New Signing (Williams?), New Striker Signing

    Squad: Page, Lapslie, Bonne, Stevenson, Aouachria,

    Yes, as proven by your sarcastic response.

    Each one of the players mentioned in my post have been linked to us this summer and I would say we are interested in every single one of them.

    That doesn’t mean we will sign them. But they play in the positions we need and they’re all good players, all players who fit into the ethos of young enough, hungry and wanting to prove themselves in the Championship.
    There was nothing wrong with your suggestion, Cullen, Bielik and Nketiah are looking unlikely now but still players we have been linked with or played for us. Most likely out of the 3 probably Cullen

    My line up was a mixture of the pre-season friendlies we've got coming up and the areas we may need to strengthen if certain things dont work

    i.e. I'd put Dijksteel in at Defensive Midfield if we cant get anyone else in, whereas we desperately need another loanee in Midfield (as mentioned) as cant see Lapslie etc. being ready
  • It’s not just the kids that we need to step up. We’re going to have most of the team with no Championship experience.

    He'll surely be offered a new contract, if he accepts he may go out on loan again. Whether we get him I don't know. 
  • I think Morgan may be the one who steps up for next season
    Must work on his side of the game off the ball, think he'll be punished by opponents a bit more if not

    If he has managed to work on that side then almost definitely, my favourite goal of last season was his pass to Taylor against Rochdale

    I get you're annoyed with the nonsense spoken on here at times,  but you do yourself no favours putting the geezer from X Factor up front
  • Emery who would you prefer?

    Laurent Koscielny or Bielik?
    Sokratis at his best or Bielik?
    Mustafi or Bielik?

    If your answer doesn't start with a 'B' you are out of a job next June.

    I think it's his fitness which was his biggest issue, he's acknowledged it himself. With a full preseason alongside the first team, and the likes of Pratley to give him guidance, I expect this to be much improved this season

    Isnt a No.10 a Striker?

    No.1 - Goalkeeper
    No. 2 | 3 - Full-Backs
    No. 5 | 6 - Centre-Backs
    No. 4 | 8 - Centre-Midfield
    No. 9  - Striker or Attacking Midfield (i.e. false nine)
    No. 7 | 11 - Wingers / Midfielders
  • Was aware of Bielik cos of decent fee they paid but never seen him. Cullen imagine off most people's radar, didn't he have other lack-lustre loans? 

    Gives a dilemma re Gallen. Do you promote him to DoF or pay him (our) going rate as chief scout at which he excells?

    System isnt broken so doesnt need to be changed

    Would only change it once Bowyer eventually leaves and we start making suspect signings as there would be one of two questions

    (1) Has Gallen lost his touch, in which case we move him on
    (2) Is the new Manager not listening to Gallen, in which case do we then appoint him Director of Football to get back to the signings we're making now

    It's funny how names come back in fashion, I never thought I'd see an Alfred (Alfie) and Albert (Albie) potentially playing alongside each other!

    Think we're both right after a quick Google...

    It is also the only position on the field that is required to be occupied. "10" is one of the most emblematic squad numbers in football, due to the sheer number of football legends that used the number 10 shirt; playmakers, second strikers and attacking midfielders usually wear this number.

    So can be either the attacking midfielder (like you say) or second striker
  • Or a false 9?

    Lineker used to wear the number 10 shirt, but Ian Wright wore the number 8 and both played in the same position.

    Indeed when  Lineker played with Beardsley, Beardsley wore 9 when in modern day terms he was far more of a "10"!

    Both clubs would be stupid to sell this summer, neither Arsenal or West Ham are desperate for cash and 1 good season in League 1 wont make the clubs offer millions and millions.

    Loan to a top Champ or lower prem team, then of they have another good season could sell for a lot more next season
    Except Bielik didn't just have one good season in League 1.

    He was outstanding in the U21 championship for Poland.

    And next year, they can both leave for nothing.
    I thought he was awful against Spain. He's not a CH for me
