Cheap homegrown squad option?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He cost Ipswich £20m and they'll want a return on that, not particularly cheap

If we could sell them Doyle for £5-10m then that could soften the blow.

I like Hutchinson tbf. As one of a few forwards I think he'd be a decent signing.

 

[AndyWolves]

Dont know much about him, would be helpful challenging for a starting place?

When Cunha goes we basically have no nailed on options to play there

Guedes - one of the worst players I have ever seen
Hwang - Vitor pretty much never even brings him on for 5 minutes
R Gomes - a decent player but so, so weak
Sarabia - going
Forbs - ditto
Bellegarde - improved a lot since Christmas but I'm not sure I'd want him starting 25+ games as one of two #10s
Munetsi - this is not a serious long term option, he hardly ever touches the ball FFS

So yes by default lol

Have I just read Semedo has been offered a 4 year deal? Ignoring the merits of the player he'd be nearer his 36th than 35th birthday when that expires, that would be bonkers. He must be leaving.

Here is a 4 year deal Nelson, you can finish you career here
"Amazing, I shall consider that"
Anything else we can do to help?
"Yeah, get me a chair and a camera crew for my leaving video......just in case of course"

Nelson staying for me is stunting Lima's growth.

Nelson staying for me is stunting Lima's growth.

He's nowhere near mate, 1 league start. And the manager pretty much coated him in public afterwards (bit unfair I thought).

As near to inheriting the spot as Oskar Buur was when Doc left.

He might end up being a good player for us but it won't be especially soon.

Vitor currently doesn't think he is ready.

Played him Forest and then said his defensive work was shit. Few bench appearances between injuries since.
Doubt we will see him that much next season

The on pitch interview could have been for him staying...

Or a hostage situation

And with that he's probably thinking should have gone to Chelsea and signed on loan at Strasbourg. His development would be miles better I would guess.

 

[The Bear]

Lima could do with a loan to a top League One side or a mid-lower Champo side for a season.

We need to buy someone if Semedo leaves regardless.

 

[DogWeasel]

I still quite like Wrexham. I wonder at what point I’ll start to hate them?

I dislike them now and i wouldn't be surprised if people cant stand them in the next few years.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

If they stagnate in the Champ or find it too tough and drop back I don't think people will really care either way. If they and Blues shit all over financial restrictions to challenge then that view will change.

 

[Kenny]

I don't they will shit all over financial restrictions. They will spend a lot but they are currently a commercial machine. The type that makes Jeff cry into his tea.

Blues on the other hand...don't care, but hope they lose their shit and appoint a Rooney type again soon
