Waiting for news on Washington, Davison, JFC, Matthews, Inniss and Purrington who are all out of contract.
I would rather the gamble on JFC than keep Gilbey or Morgan.
Agree with CAFC43v3R about Fraser and JFC combo, but another quality addition needed.
Lots of work to do but we at least start from a position of not carrying a load of big wages on poorly performing players which has been a problem for a few years.
If the recruitment team can get the right people in we have a decent chance.
Of those contracted I would move on Kirk, Morgan and McG if we could.
One more quality midfielder to go with Dobson & Fraser. Keep JFC to go with Morgan and Gilbey. Like to see Henry involved as well.
Like to Keep Washington then get one more pacy forward along with Kanu.
Complete overhaul of the defense and wingbacks imo
That's got to be a quick appointment and how much influence do they have in the transfer policy.
I was on the fence in regards to Jackson's tactics but felt he could of moved this club forward with new players and a good pre-season.
Must have someone in mind to take over if we haven't seems a bit odd.
Craig MacGillivray 2023 inconsistent for us so far but he got pompey's POS last term, we're lumbered until somebody offers proper(silly) money
Ashley Maynard-Brewer 2023 hopefully his loan has made him the finished article
Wide right (full and wing)
Wide left (full and wing)
Corey Blackett-Taylor 2023 don't get the right footed wing back on the left side business - he's our best right winger and a contract extension would be wise
Diallang Jaiyesimi 2024 underwhelmed from his first appearance for us - maybe a squad back up, never looked fit enough
Charlie Kirk 2025 accept any money for this one least said the better
Deji Elerewe 2024 looked decent, hopefully he's fully repaired from his injury
Sam Lavelle 2024 looked like a lightweight Jason Pearce, squad fodder at best
Sean Clare 2023 he's enthusiastic but no centre half, gotta be better in CM than gilbers, ain;t he?
George Dobson 2023 One that absolutely has to be secured on an extended improved contract - do it first to send the message to the rest that his is the example they all need to follow and aspire to
Alex Gilbey 2023 take any money he's not as good as he thinks he is
Albie Morgan 2023 take any money he's not as good as we need him to be
Chuks Aneke 2025 take any money at all this was a dopey emotional signing he's made of glass
Jayden Stockley 2024 we're not going to get significantly better for anything like what he's on, reality check needed he's achieved better than a goal every 2 games completed leading the line for an inconsistent side that didn't make the top half, we're vastly superior in both boxes when he plays All talk of getting rid is juvenile pish
Conor Washington is as good as can reasonably be secured for this division our results with him are dramatically better than without, I'd call him the minute I'd agreed Dobbo's uplift.
Confused and complicated recruitment has caused compromise and and confused way of playing.
