Let's play the scenario, you are Frank. You come through the door, you have watched and researched games from the last 6 months and your recruitment team ask. "Frank, where do we need to strengthen?" "who needs to be let go?" What are you going back to them with? #PUSB - ThreadSky

Competition for MVE position, and an experienced CDM. Then play players in their natural preferred positions rather than constantly experimenting as MR did towards the end of his time here. Think Tavares is a useful backup but maybe a loan spell might benefit him further #pusb

I Think taveres' time is up to be honest. I don't think he is at the standard we need. Back up yes, but in my eyes we don't need a back up we need a collective team who are pushing for a first team spot. I just don't think Tavares has the overall ability to be a starter.

Keeper , I believe the Sunderland keeper is decent Dean perhaps go for him !! some of our central defenders look like league one standard Dean ,, well Frank they are . Joking aside defence and a midfielder who will lead us

Higher quality replacements for Bidwell & DaSilva. Move Fabio on and get a quality back up for MVE and another strong CDM for when Sheaf goes

nathank91.bsky.social•102 days ago

I agree, a combination of the both would be good. Da Silva technically is pretty good, good with his feet. But gets targeted at full back purely for his height. I'd move Fabio on too. Deffo backup needed for MVE, I agree on that. Whether that will happen in Jan, I don't know. I can see some loans

nathank91.bsky.social•102 days ago

Coming in, in Jan to be honest. Buying in Jan always seems pretty tough and prices tend to be inflated.

Well, we still haven't replaced Hamer - a hard task to be fair. We don't have a 10 in the mould of O'Hare/Palmer.
We have "cover" for RB, but no one for whom it's a natural position.
Sheaf is becoming injury prone.
Our CBs show promise but lack experience.

nathank91.bsky.social•102 days ago

Agree with that. A progressive player in the Hamer mould, hard to come by. We do need someone to fill his role but also Sheaf and I think he will be gone in the summer. I am sure I read that we gave him the captaincy as a sweetener for this season with a gentleman's agreement that if we don't get

nathank91.bsky.social•102 days ago

Promoted this season, we can let him go in the summer. He will leave a massive hole in the midfield. The master at being in the right place at the right time, his simple movements and ball carrying abilities. So in my eyes, two CM's need to come in at least. I think Allen will be let go too.

nathank91.bsky.social•102 days ago

So in theory we actually need 3 CM's. Unless Kai Andrews steps up and fills the gap which Allen will leave open. A natural number 10 for me also, Rudoni for me is an 8, someone with a bit of flair and important for me, be able to connect the midfield to attack.

One thing about Lampard is that he doesn't appear to be afraid of giving young players a chance.
