Probably more likely an Archer replacement tbh. Downs doesn't need replacing because he didn't even exist even when he played.
Larin, Azon plus another (Lankshear?) and I'd be happy with that as striking options.
Yeah he pretty much said that it's very difficult for us to keep players who are well into their contracts (clearly referring to THB and Charles). Both will go.
Then said we've got more leverage with the other players due to just having bought them (presuming Scienza and Jander)
Solid signing that. Was very good for Sunderland when they went up, not quite as good for Ipswich last season (according to their fans) but still. Guessing that's the replacement for Charles.
I'm not sure he is proper premier league class myself. I think he got found out a little bit towards the end of the season. He's a great player at this level but I don't think premier league sides will be queuing up to sign him.
Here we go again with the JWP links. Funny how Blackmore claims JWP "can get the ball forward quickly" out of everything that's the thing he does the least!
Wouldn't mind him as a loan to cover Jander or Charles (whichever one doesn't leave) but that's about it.
I'm not so sure it's a foregone conclusion as you're suggesting.
The club has already been very heavily punished and we supposedly have some very good lawyers on the case in regards to the FA investigation.
The only side I could see signing him would be Hull. But then they've got McBurnie, so it's doubtful. More likely another top championship side or possibly Scotland.
