let's agree to ignore each otherMillwallFan said:
Surely a club that finished just outside the relegation zone would be willing to take on a player who just wasn’t quite good enough for a team that finished third in the league?DOUCHER said:Macnamara - definite no on every level + we are no longer shopping in millwall reject territory - i know they think they are light years ahead of us now but football doesn't work like that. They've built a team, it wasn't good enough, their best players will now be picked off and they will have to re build. If we hadn't gone up under curbs, we'd have lost kinsella, mendonca and a few others and been back in mid table. Same with any promotion push. We are in the build phase still, not the re-build.7 -
We don't want coburn under any circumstances - injury prone, can't finish.NabySarr said:
If you’ve got any reject attackers or midfielders then maybe. But our defence is not “just outside the relegation zone” quality so he’s not better than the players we have alreadyMillwallFan said:

I don't think he's gong to be an automatic starter but I think he's at least good enough as a squad option. If Edwards is able to overcome the injury that gives us options for a more defensive, safety first wing back and then Fevrier as the more attacking option and can cycle between them as needed.J BLOCK said:

No names given but given the timing my GUESS is that both are loans being turned into perm deals eg Mitchell to Plymouth and Fevrier or Clarke to Charlton.Considering we hadn’t used Fevrier much until the Hull game not sure we would have known we wanted him permanently. Considering Clarke has been a starter for 6 months that would probably have been in the works for a whileSomeone like Docherty is a great option to have if we aren’t starting him every week. There’s no questioning his commitment and as we saw from the Ipswich and Hull games, if he plays like he did in those two, he has a lot to offer. But no way can we rely on him to start in say 30-35 games across a season. We will be no further on than this season if he’s still one of the first names on the team sheet. I know he hasn’t always started this season and was dropped from a couple of match day squads in Jan, but we do need better.Same for Carey, TC, Leaburn and a lot of the other players. They all bring something, but they don’t bring enough on a consistent basis to help us kick on. I think this summer will be very much evolution, not revolution, but the players we do bring in to evolve, will have to be of very good quality imo and the sorts of players teams at the mid/top end of the division would want.I believe some of the released Championship players may be worth looking at, but not all, not even the ones that played in teams that finished above us2 -

If we go out and sign a top left back for good money, that will be a good indication of how the club feel he has progressed from his injury.2 -

My post was more focused on the Carey’s and Docherty’s of this world. Enough to keep them around, but no way can we have them as regular starters unless we want another long, hard slog
It’s absolutely critical to stay up next season, and preferably without taking it to the penultimate game.1 -
I’m not sure why Carey gets dragged into these discussions. He’s absolutely fine as first choice. He got overplayed this season so fell off in the last couple of months of the season because he was knackered, but before that he showed he’s definitely up to the level and was one of our best playerscabbles said:

Be very surprised if we are looking at upgrading in that area when we already have Carey and Knibbs. Only reason we’d need more options is if we are planning to switch to 3-4-2-1 as our main formation next season like we did the last 2 games.4 -
I think expectations are getting a bit out of hand if we are considering Carey a player that we must upgrade on
Carey scores goals, lots of energy to press from the front, carries the ball well. You really think we can sign a player that does all of that well and then is also a championship level chance creator and quality passer? That’s basically saying we need to sign a player that’s one of the best players in the championship if they’ve got all that, it’s just not realistic
It’s like saying we need to sign a player like TC that also has end product. Good luck!
Carey will rightly remain first choice next season, hopefully with Knibbs being fitter to push him for that spot and mean Carey doesn’t get overcooked again10 -

What’s the main purpose of an centre attacking midfielder? In a formation that has hardly any attacking players, to me having a creative player who makes chances for others is crucial for us to have a successful team who carves out chances, Carey is not that player, he might have an eye for goal and be good carrying the ball but it’s not what we need in that position.NabySarr said:I think expectations are getting a bit out of hand if we are considering Carey a player that we must upgrade on

Well I’m sorry but that just isn’t correct based on being an attacking midfielder for us in our setup. In Nathan Jones teams the number 10 needs to have a lot of energy and be able to lead the press from the front, and needs to add goals. We carved out enough chances in our promotion season without that creative type of player, and Nathan Jones teams in the past have done exactly the same.000__Jaaaaay__000 said:

Carey will rightly remain first choice next season, hopefully with Knibbs being fitter to push him for that spot and mean Carey doesn’t get overcooked againThat’s why he’s taken Berry with him everywhere, and why we signed both Carey and Knibbs last summer. Quite obvious that their ability to press from the front and score goals were what we were looking for as those are some of their best attributes. That’s what we need in an attacking midfielderWe signed Gilbert last January who is more the profile you are wanting, but he couldn’t get in ahead of Berry for these exact reasons. That’s just not what we need in that role, even less so in the championship. We are not a team that is going to pass through teams into a creative number 10 and score goals that way. That type of player would be useless to us most of the time because they just wouldn’t get the ball enough
Yes, we want more quality on the ball, but that’s going to come from our other 2 midfield positions rather than from the attacking midfielder. This conversation comes up every summer, but even after watching us for 2.5 years under Jones it seems some people still don’t realise how we try to play.I think Nathan Jones has a better idea of what he needs from that role and it’s clear from his whole career and the last 2.5 years that he wants a pressing goal scorer rather than a creative playmaker4 -

Carey absolutely works as a CAM in the style Jones wants to play, what we need is that box crashing attacking midfield that suits the system and style but who can do basics level of creativity in addition to that opposed to Carey offering minimal passing ability000__Jaaaaay__000 said:

Bear in mind he also did not really have enough time to fully prove himself at Champ level. We will definitely need a left wing back starter brought in. We can't risk what happened to our defence last autumn. A good left wing back would alone have bought us more points.YannTheMann said:

Such quality that Huddersfield decided Iorpenda was worth loaning to L2 and not worth a recall in January.Gisappointed said:
His name is Tom Iorpenda. L2 but young and quality.Crispywood said:
Carey absolutely works as a CAM in the style Jones wants to play, what we need is that box crashing attacking midfield that suits the system and style but who can do basics level of creativity in addition to that opposed to Carey offering minimal passing ability000__Jaaaaay__000 said:
What’s the main purpose of an centre attacking midfielder? In a formation that has hardly any attacking players, to me having a creative player who makes chances for others is crucial for us to have a successful team who carves out chances, Carey is not that player, he might have an eye for goal and be good carrying the ball but it’s not what we need in that position.NabySarr said:I think expectations are getting a bit out of hand if we are considering Carey a player that we must upgrade on
Carey scores goals, lots of energy to press from the front, carries the ball well. You really think we can sign a player that does all of that well and then is also a championship level chance creator and quality passer? That’s basically saying we need to sign a player that’s one of the best players in the championship if they’ve got all that, it’s just not realistic
It’s like saying we need to sign a player like TC that also has end product. Good luck!
Carey will rightly remain first choice next season, hopefully with Knibbs being fitter to push him for that spot and mean Carey doesn’t get overcooked again
Gallagher is a great example but obviously won’t get someone as good at this level
Neither Bell nor Edwards are LWBs. LB or LCB at best.Regarding Edwards it wasn’t a debate what his position is, it’s is he a championship level player which based on the small sample we’ve seen he absolutely is0 -
