hypochondriac

Again, we absolutely should not be entrusting the success of our season on a young player with very little experience. Martin will feel the same way.

For a rumoured 17 million plus? I very much doubt it!

Well given that Archer scored naff all last season with no one leading the line I'd say it's a legitimate concern that we don't currently have the quality of players to score enough to keep us up.

I like flexible players too but there's some positions where you need a specialist to do a good job. Cb, gk, dm, striker then you can tinker a bit with some of the other positions. No doubt Martin will count AA and BBD as strikers but I think it leaves us light if Onuachu and Mara leave. I'd like to see us get another on loan maybe if we don't bring a keeper in on loan.

Yes but if we were signing someone like that then Archer wouldn't be getting in the team.

Still a bit concerned if this is the extent of our striker business that we haven't got someone who naturally leads the line. I hope Martin isn't doing the home doesn't care about formations and positions thing.

Yes that's sort of what I was saying. Makes a new AM even more of a necessity. A Tadic is exactly what we need.

Sheffield United fans saying he needs to be played with someone leading the line. Not sure how that works for us.

Not sure about this one. Absolutely slated on the Sheffield United forum and hated.

How many genders are there?

Have you considered a left field sale like Edozie or Charles? Or Mara?

Is Oliver skipp like that?

It could be but like I said it depends what is meant by better position. I think everyone expects us to make some signings.

I'm not sure anything I've said there suggests any sort of doom? The words he used could have a number of interpretations and a better position is subjective.

Depends what his definition of much better position is is.

We would probably have not offered him a new contract so he would have been off.

Probably 5 but I'd agree. Not a prem squad.

Reckon we'd have maybe kept Armstrong. Otherwise I agree.

Kwp, Adams, Alcaraz, Bednarek, Downes. That's basically half our team. Would have left us with McCarthy Bree Stephens Woods? Manning Charles Smallbone Armstrong Edozie Aribo Mara Which is shite.

Woukd have been us had one game gone the wrong way. Yeah it's a bit shit that we will most likely go back down and can't really compete financially but at least we get another season and some breathing room to try again. If Leeds aren't up, this year then they are basically gone and are having their squad stripped of any existing talent.

Blimey. He really isn't worth that much.

Lallana is one of those signings that we may look back on once relegated and wonder what on earth we were thinking. I hope not but at the moment it is turning out like many feared it would. Might not even get ten games out of him this year which would mean he's simply taking up space in the squad.

Maybe we bid more knowing that we would have to sell at least one player before the end of the window to afford it. You would think for o'riley if he really does go for 25 million that we probably could afford it if it was realistic that he would come to us so you'd imagine he would prefer Atalanta

Didn't we bid 20 million for Liam Delap?

That's the type of person I thought we would go for. I'm not saying go for people we can't afford but we'd have to take a bit of a gamble maybe like BBD.
