You need to stop thinking mate

I genuinely can’t recall a time he’s received the ball anywhere but the left wing since we started playing the 3-5-2Croydon said:https://x.com/i/status/2081308329243029552
Please lord not another season experimenting with TC as a centre forward. Surely Grant up top if any of the wide men.1 -

You’d have thought he rejected a new contract because he had something else lined up. It will be interesting to see where he ends upRonnieMoore said:Disappointed that Patrick Casey refused to sign a new contract and is now a free agent .. .. liked to have seen him push into the first team squad during pre season to have a closer look a natural goalscorer ..3 -
Shall we play a game of guess the heatmap? Below are the heatmaps of TC, Alli and Grant last year. Are we going to play with three left wingers?

Given his age we’ll be due compensation. I’d guess a lot of non-league clubs can’t or won’t pay it, and there won’t be a queue of EFL clubs after him.stjohnshill said:

Yeah you'd think he'd end up National League but the compo will be too high. League 2 clubs probably wouldn't have a look either because of it.Scoham said:

He's too old for that realistically, he needs senior football. If a L1 club were to take a punt on him it would be Bromley but that doesn't seem likely.ForeverAddickted said:

I know no one was counting on it but Joe Gomez got his customary preseason injury yesterday to guarantee we don't get the sell-on this summer14

So as it stands, how many of our new signings do people consider improvements and 1st team starters?0

Alright here’s a list of foreign / exotic / based abroad defensive minded central midfielders that I’d like to see us target
- Jordan Holsgrove
- Juho Kilo
- Anzor Mekvabishvili
- Matias Siltanen
- Timi Elsnik
- Frank Adjei
- Markus Karlsson
- Adrion Pajaziti
- Santiago Castañeda
- Seo Jae-Min
- Panagiotis Andreou
You can probably pick holes in each of them for one reason or another. Not gone too deep with the research but thought it would be fun to throw half a dozen names out.

Just remember to sign it J Ackworth too, so they know you're serious 😉11 -

TECHNICALLY you do have Maatsen who we signed in the Sandgaard years and went on to play in the Champions League. But I totally agree that Duchatalet somehow manages to remain the most recent "highlight" for player quality, weirdly.Braziliance said:

tc, ramsay, jones and bell are our best players - losing any of them is not a positive - keep them and add more quality is positive even if they don't sign new dealscabbles said:I wouldn’t like to see TC leave as I think he’s one of our better players, but there’s no way he’s proven at this level. He needs to kick on and deliver more this year. I appreciate we weren’t the most fluid footballing team last year and the LWB role was very unsettled on Greg whole as soon as Edwards was injured, but I’m not sure he’d be a player of choice for a Soton, Norwich, Boro, Wolves, West Ham etc or anyone else chasing promotion. For both us and him I think he should sign a new deal here. If he doesn’t and he doesn’t offer much more than he did last season, I can’t see him getting a move to a Championship team 12th and up.
Of course, he could be hedging his bets and not confident we’ll stay up, in which case it might be the right move for him, and he is then free to find a club 13-21st in the Champ for season 27/284 -

I think we need an upgrade on Coventry, someone more well rounded - strong defensively but a better and more creative passer, and an upgrade on Docherty who offers the same engine and defensive work, but again a better passer and a more technical and/or physical player.Sword65pf said:

Is that not just because that was the last time we were in the championship for a few years? If we stay up for a few years now I’m sure we will have some players that are quality and go onto better things. Just doesn’t happen that often when you are a mid table league 1 club which is what we’ve mostly been since RolandBraziliance said:
