Caretaker manager Lee Bowyer on signing players and pre-season starting
Comments

We've lost 8-9 players from last season where we were only just good enough to squeeze into 6th.
So unless those 4 players are all of championship quality, which is unlikely, i simply don't see how replacing those 8-9 players with 4 new ones is going to be good enough to make us into a top 2 side.3 -

Solly
Clarke - Will he be fit?
Ajose - Sold?
New player
KAG (if not locked up)
Sarr
Dillion Phillips- Bowyer doesn't sound confident in him.
Feel like I must of missed one or two but if bowyer thinks that is a top 2 squad then all I can say is these new players must be something special3 -
Don't forget LB says we have got 5 hes prepared to let go out. If 2 of those are Konsa and Lennon who are the other three? LB says some of the squad are "too similar" but who?
Reeves & Clarke?
KAG & Ajose?
Can't think of any others.
If we keep Vetokele and add 4 more then that might make sense, but not if they are the usual cast offs and injury prone frees we usually sign0 -
Vetokele, Sarr.1

I'd assume Sarr and Igor because of their wages, then maybe KAG.Imnot Athletic said:Don't forget LB says we have got 5 hes prepared to let go out. If 2 of those are Konsa and Lennon who are the other three? LB says some of the squad are "too similar" but who?

Unless a very decent bid comes in I doubt Marshall will be leaving.CH4RLTON said:

We may have done IF he asked and IF he wasnt in Bow's plans as it may free up some wages.0

Lee.
Say nothing, win lots.
Don't be a mouthpiece or puppet for Duchatelet.
Anyway he will sack you in November and bring in Congo Chris.0 -

Nobody would be daft enough to buy Sarr.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

"Bowyer believes with what he saw last year and the talented youngsters at his disposal, it is quality and not quantity he needs this summer." Words fail me. And still time for a few more to be offloaded to pay for Roland's summer holidays0

8-9 so far. Plenty of time for more to go.Chris_from_Sidcup said:We've lost 8-9 players from last season where we were only just good enough to squeeze into 6th.

My view too. The club is in a state of flux and nothing is set in stone at the moment.Scoham said:
I’m not sure we should read too much into it. Bowyer would be criticised if he talked about say 8 signings then only made 3 or 4. Why build up fan expectations - if RD is still here he’s not going to let him bring in 5-10 signings.Valley11 said:This shows a lack of experience in my view. You don’t win promotion with a small squad.
If the takeover goes through I can see that number changing.
IMO Bow has been asked a few questions and his answers are intended to give very little away really, keeping cards close to his chest.
He'll already have thought hard about what he wants to do - but he's not about to stand on a soapbox and wax lyrical. He's not Karl Robinson, you know.
The one certainty is that we'll have a better picture of where we are as a team, and as a club, once the season gets underway.
That's in 6 weeks time. A lot will probably happen to the club, let alone the team building, in that time - so no point speculating based only on what we know today. Much will change.

I bet you can't say that tongue twister at speed after a few pintsroseandcrown said:desperately need a LB cant count on page all season.
Need a CB if Lennon goes as would leave Sarr, Pearce Bauer
Plus Keeper so that only leaves one postion left for 4 in.
