    What makes you say that? I can name a few who’ve overcome huge adversity to have v successful careers. Browny broke his leg as a youth player, Kermorgant had cancer as a teenager, Rufus came straight back into the first team and flew into a crunching tackle after a serious knee injury. In current squad we have Leaburn and Edwards. The latter will be back, I hope 🙏

    Need better than that in the championship imo

    That’s a laughably bad strike force for the championship.

    At current time yes, but say you had a Kelman with service, a fully fit Godden, and Leaburn/Kanu/Mbick all developing over this  season with another pre season to come then suddenly a bad attack could become really decent. It’s not great at the moment but it’s been built around having potential to get somewhere. 

    Unlike our midfield with Coventry 26, doc 29, Carey 25, JRC 26, Coady 33, Berry 100, Knibbs 26 there’s no way that current group of players become much better whereas our frontline possibly could get far better no guarantee but they aren’t a write off when from that list of 5 you have a 24, 22, 21, 19 year old and our best striker who’s been out the entire year

    We really do need bring in a decent starting forward to upgrade what we have but decent starting forwards are expensive so who know if it will happen

    I tend to agree, think we need to sort out our midfield and try to bring in some creativity or maybe play with winger. I think Haaland would struggle to score with our style of play. Once we have sprted out our midfield we can the fairly judge the attackers.

    Also all the talk of bringing in an attacker sounds great but what striker could we realistically sign given where we are and our budget? Certainly not a anyone proven as a goalscorer in the Championship IMO.

    Striker wise if we brought someone in I'd expect it to be from abroad. I was toying for most of the season with NJ going back to Luton for Elijah Adebayo but he's got injured again after coming back from an ACL.

    Still signed Burke, who’s injury ridden and Bell who had issues but has actually had decent availability this season wouldn’t write it off. He’s cheap, ex Jones who he had good success for think it all comes down to what we do with our other forwards

    I’d be looking to move Kanu, Tanto and Dixon on, plus obviously the “Gasman”.  Leaburn , if we receive a good bid , maybe it’s his time.  The only ones I’d definitely keep are Kelman and Godden, and even then, I’d hope they’d be down the pecking order .  Mbick I would hope
    will recover well, have good pre season and go for good money .

    Mbick would have left in January in the inflated market if we were looking to cash in. His value wouldn’t have gotten any higher at the end of the year from Jan because there’s only a limit you can reach when you have only done it in L2 despite the potential. Considering we have no elite forwards there’s no reason why he can’t push to play next season.

    Not heard much about him so far this summer. Has he been with the group training etc.?

    He went to Slovenia but seemed to be doing his own training regime

    I said that as Danny Haynes suffered from it. He always just held back from running full speed as he thought his hamstring would go
  • I imagine/sure it has been raised before,  but can we change the subject titles to, in this case, Micah Mbick. Loads of titles become outdated
