I think we've invested a good amount of time into Dolan and he's still only 23 years old. I'd prefer it, if he got a new contract and we could continue to develop him and actually reap the rewards. That said, if he won't sign a new deal we should be looking to move him on. At this point in time, he's wholly replaceable. 👆 the main reason for keeping him on a new contract, we won't reinvest any money for a replacement and anyone who does come in is more likely to be a downgrade than upgrade.

Pretty sure his only decent spell in the team (under Mowbray for a few games at the end of one season), he was playing further forward.

Not even close. Exactly why we should be avoiding him. Injury prone, past his best, poor finisher and wants high wages. There must be a much better use of our limited resources than Bamford.

Ironically, wasn't one the players lined up Jed Wallace? As in, when he would have been a good signing, as opposed to now when he's on the decline.

Might as well just adjourn it indefinitely. It's never going to end.

No one starting Forshaw? I'm gonna because you're all so mean! ----------------------Pears Brittain----Batth----Hyam----Beck -----------Tronstad---Forshaw Dolan---------Cantwell--------Hedges --------------------Gueye

Arsenal out and its all of their own making. Same reason they lost to Newcastle, playing without a proper striker and putting Kai Havertz central is horrific. He's laughably shit.

If we're signing sticking plasters in the likes of Forshaw, Batth, Fadz, Weimann etc. It needs to surely be in conjunction with signing younger players who come in and there is less pressure to go straight in and perform. Grabbing the best young talent we can from league 1 or 2 seems like a no brainer to me.

Bamford is very nearly the very definition of "past it". 31 years old and hasn't had a good season in about 4 years. Jed Wallace is 30, so coming to end of his career but he is probably exactly what JE is looking for. A player who can play in a couple of different positions and is the most championship midfielder you can probably find. I've always rated him tbf, it's just a shame we'd be signing him 3 years too late.

Cheers 👍

I thought Nixon broke the news? Which account is saying about Godo?

Less pressure to rush Carter back now as well.

It's the right decision to move Fadz on but he comes across as a top bloke, so good luck to him and he certainly played his part in keeping us up last season.

O'Grady-Macken on the bench, was/is pretty highly rated here? Surely worth a sub for Buckely?

Weimann!!

Sir Andi Weimann, how has he made such a dogs dinner of that?

I didn't know that was his lad 😲 Let's hope his dad's been teaching him everything (maybe not rabona's) he knows!

Toth starting?

Here he is......

Exactly the sort of January signing you make when you're pushing for promotion and your club has a modicum of ambition to achieve it. You need to be looking at the league below, not above, when you're talking about Venkys though.

If Sanderson comes in and does well enough for us, it might end up being a better bit of business than it looks right now. Birmingham are very likely going up and they don't want him now in league one, so they won't want him in the championship. Might very well be available for a knockdown fee and you'd think with his existing relationship with JE and his staff (which he's already highlighted as a reason for being here in his first interview) we'd be his first choice destination. Fadz and probably Batth will be off in the summer, so we'll be in need of a CB anyway. Of course the flip side is that he comes in, does badly but signs in the summer anyway but that's a bit pessimistic 😂

Honestly, I didn't know either. Felt like I'd heard the name but had to Google it. He's only made 2 appearances for Brum in the league, so can only ly assume he's been replaced by better. JE knows him from his time at Brum though, so can only assume JE has had a say in this.

Dion Sanderson it is, straight outta left field.

Sadly for Dom Sams, he's unavailable for Ebbsfleet at the mo with a broken leg. So, Welcome back Doms!
