Said the below on the squad list thread a few days ago.


Goalkeepers

Dillon Phillips 2018

need one in

Right Backs

Chris Solly 2020

probably need one although Barnes seems to be considered part of the squad

Centre Backs

Harry Lennon 2018
Patrick Bauer 2019
Jason Pearce 2020 - Contract extension from 2019
Ezri Konsa 2020
Jorge Teixeira 2020
Naby Sarr 2020

We have enough here although can see Tex and or Bauer leaving in which case they need replacing. Lose Sarr

Left Backs

Lewis Page 2019

Need one minimum where's Chicksen?

Central Midfielders

Andrew Crofts 2018
Johnnie Jackson 2018 (Player/First Team Coach)
Ahmed Kashi 2018
Joe Aribo 2019
Jake Forster-Caskey 2019

depending on how Kashi is viewed within the squad and whether he is around this year we may have enough. 1 more needed of Kashi isn't there.

Wide Midfielders

Ricky Holmes 2018
Cristian Ceballos 2018
Mark Marshall 2019 - Signed from Bradford City as free agent
Terique Fosu 2019 - Signed from Reading for undisclosed fee

pretty happy with this. Personally I'd lose Ceballos and sign Stewart

Number 10/CAM
Billy Clarke 2019 - Signed from Bradford City for undisclosed fee

Need one more (ease be Reeves)


Strikers

Josh Magennis 2018
Tony Watt 2018
Lee Novak 2019
Karlan Ahearne-Grant 2019
Nicky Ajose 2019
Igor Vetokele 2019 - Loaned to STVV for 2017/8 season

Unsure on this one. On the face of it we have numbers but only really Magennis and Novak fit KR's system. I reckon KAG will be used more out wide in that system. So can only teally justify one squad place for Watt or Ajose if a different system is favoured.

So I make that:
GK (Martin?)
Rb (if Barnes not ready, isn't Wilson available?)
Lb (maybe 2, Dasilva, is Edwards ready?)
CB if Tex or Bauer leave
CM if Kashi not ready or not around
Winger (Stewart)
No 10 (Please Reeves)
Striker (and lose one of Ajose/Watt)

Dumbing down my expectations because time is getting on and there seems to be a distinct lack of activity I reckon we need:

Gk
LB
Winger
10

Reckon Barnes and Konsaa will be rb cover, seems like Bauer and Tex will be here until their contracts run down. They're making a lot of Kashi so I assume he will be here.

Mavididi would be a good acquisition as he played mostly his games for us out wide last year but he could be 3rd choice for the lone striker role in the 4231 behind Magennis and Novak. As I think Watt/Ajose will be used as impact subs or if we want to change formation.

I'd be very happy with

Martin
DaSilva
Stewart (or another)
Reeves
Mavididi

I wouldn't! Need a prolific striker really! But is there one out there?

Rickie Lambert. Released by Cardiff. Getting on a bit, but what a striker to bring on if you need a goal.

I'm not so sure. Think Magennis is good enough and Novak will surprise a few this year. With the formation Karl likes to play the inside forwards (wingers) and number 10 are expected to contribute plenty of goals. 4 or 5 players contributing 10 over the season is better than 1 players getting 20.

This.

And I think Josh could be a 20 goal/season man at this level with the right service. Last year he fed on scraps a lot of the time and did a lot of chasing shadows and hoofs up to him with no one around him.

To answer the first question, I don't think there is a reasonably priced forward out there who will guarantee you 20 goals and can play up front on his own. I'm not a big fan of Novak's, but I think he's about par for the course in terms of what you can expect to get.

Better than Pawel Abbott anyway.

Surprised to see that people seem to think Konsa will be with us this season.

Not even a sniff of a rumour about Konsa so far. I feel if he was interested in moving and it had got to this point in the summer with no progress his agent would leak it to try and make it happen. If there was genuine interest it would have come out as the club leaks more than a sieve.

I think Konsa will start the season with us but won't be surprised if Roland cashes in by the end of January.

"Charlton are moving closer to agreeing a new deal with Ricky Holmes.

Sheffield United have pushed hard to try and land the 30-year-old winger but their approaches have been rebuffed by the Addicks.

And the South London Press has been told that Holmes is very close to penning improved terms."

Surprised to see that people seem to think Konsa will be with us this season.

Maybe you know something we don't, but as stated above, I think if Konsa were going to a significantly bigger club there would at least be rumors at this point. It's entirely possible a Championship club will come in for him later in the summer, but I fancy our chances far more against a Forest or Derby than against Everton or Arsenal. Perhaps I'm being naive. Certainly after winning the U-20 World Cup I thought there would be more desire for his services, but so far, nothing.

Mixed emotions watching that.

I doubt I'll ever see the like again.

What, us beating Palace in the Championship?

Could happen again next year...

I think I meant a team with players like Reid, Powell, Toderov etc etc. A club in assendency with board, fans and players as one.

We weren't in ascendancy then though, that was the start of our decline.

People seem to forget we fell to this level without the assistance of RD and KM
