OP here. I just hope there's not the same negativity and apathy in the dressing room. I am sure the lads believe in themselves at the very least. Yes extremely difficult tasks lies ahead of them, but I have not witnessed any lack of spirit, commitment, belief and passion till the final whistle of e...

We will be relegated and with a lot less than 30 points

Definitely feels like we're clearing the decks ready for signings.

Or has somebody realised that having a current squad numbering 40 (inc loans in and out) is unsustainable next season

Dundee add Dodgson
Dundee have signed Owen Dodgson on loan from Burnley until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old left-back spent the first half of the season on loan at English League One side Barnsley.

Szmodics is a very good shout combative cm with an eye for goals.Sell Twine and Roberts and recruit Adams and Szmodics with the cash.

So Twine and Roberts are worth the same as Adams and Szmodics ??

I hope you are right

Tresor, JBG, Redmond and Larsen are all considered better than Benson by our manager - you could probably add Vimto into that if we had a better RB
Just take the money, any money, if he is just filling a space in our large, unbalanced squad

I thought I read somewhere that we have dropped 18 points from winning positions so far this season If true, a prime example of the poor performance from VK this season He assembled this squad paying in the region of £100m during the summer Good players from last year seem to have been discarded, a ...

We are awful. We have wasted money, wasted an opportunity to build and wasted a good vibe.

We can blame the ref (I think it’s a foul) but that performance, those subs, the tactics and the recruitment etc etc is nothing short of horrific.

Sums VK up perfectly

Would not be surprised to see Calum Chambers at Luton replacing their Capt

If we are not close to a CB
Villa have told Calum Chambers he can leave this month
Steady but not spectacular, and has also played as a holding midfielder in the past

Yes having listened the quote about wanting premier league ready players has been blown out of proportion.

Expect incomings at Burnley Burnley boss Vincent Kompany: "There is a big chance we do something and strengthen in a couple of positions.

There's lots of reports Ings is West Ham's highest earner on £150,000 a week. Based on that, is it really realistic? I'm not sure West Ham would help us out that much!

Hasn't he been linked with Wolves ?

I see Liverpool have recalled Fabio Carvalho from RB Leipzig to allow him to join Hull on loan

And if they get Benson they will have almost as many wingers as us

We could do a lot worse than Jordan Henderson. Wages will be way out of our league though surely.

Would imagine Henderson going to a bigger club than us - move on

jojomk1

Smaller team in stature is our biggest problem ,we’ve probably 4 or 5 players who would really thrive in the Premier League if we had a few big guys to help them out. Not sure that we have 4/5 who are Prem League standard but the lack of height, and strength throughout the squad has been our downfall

The idea of continuing with Amdouni as the No 10 and Larsen up front is baffling from VK

I'd rather try and blag Smith-Rowe but I've turned into an optimist :D Came on as a sub against WHU recently - not sure about Fulham game Both he and Reiss Nelson could be available for loans but think there's likely to be interest from other London and southern clubs which could well rule us out T...

Whatever the preparation was for Sheff Utd just repeat it for Luton.

Simple as that.

Not sure our preparation for that game included McBurnie getting himself sent off

But we live in hope at least one Luton player does the same

It's worrying the amount of last seasons stars that aren't getting picked.How Ramsay gets a game even as a sub is a mystery VK has spent circa £15m on Ramsey and has to justify that outlay - when fit, like Sat, he gets picked before Cullen Same with Tresor who gets on the bench (and occasionally on...

Played well today in the main. Daft individual mistakes cost us again, as they have done countless times this season. I’m not as confident as Jedi about us brushing Luton aside, though.

That may be so but on this thread we are talking about experienced pros actually playing in the team and improving it. We've got J Rod, Redmond and perhaps Vigouroux for off field duties.

From the current options wide right, I'd rather see Redmond starting ON the field

More chance of getting Eric Morecambe

Either way, it’ll be on our terms - they’re in 5 year contracts. Great move by the club. VK obviously saw the potential to offer an extra year to each at the beginning of this season although, according to the squad list, Benson will have three years left after this season and Zaroury four Note to ...

If Tresor's best position is thought to be wide left he would be behind both Koleosho and Odobert in my opinion
And I keep hearing this excuse that he needs time to settle in
He has had as much time as the other two younger guys so what else does he need

jojomk1

My point being we have enough natural wide players to stop trying to shoehorn minutes for certain players into a position that doesn't appear to be their natural strength Same with Odobert, as it was sometimes with Koleosho VK has some sort of fixation with playing natural lhs wide men on the right ...

The actual argument was our best side last season would have faired better to start the season. - Ramsey no better than Zaroury last season, different type of player as well!
