They seem to be the only team who ever buys players from us. It's a bit like us with Norwich, we love a good Norwich cast off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything after Rowett was going to be welcome to most 7 - Agree but also think too much chopping and changing coincided with where our season came off the rails 8 - There's been plenty of games where we played anything as bad as Rowett but as long as the long term aim is attractive football, all is good.

We need more tougguys who can also play. Someone on here made the point that Leeds were geared for automatic promotion from first day of season. Our target was a clear out and transition. Frank signed 13 players so basically signed a new team. ?COYR. ????⚽ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been no clear out and no major transition, I'm afraid that's a myth. If that was the target I don't think we've met it. If we don't get promoted and all 3 loanees go back, I don't think we are really any further forward than 12 months ago. I'm not complaining by the way, I don't really buy into the 3/5/10 year plans. Theres only really one season that matters and that's the current one, everything else can be sorted next season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you included the out of contract players also leaving this season A fair few gone in one season. Anyone know how many? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a fair few who, whilst they may still be notionally contracted to DCFC have not kicked a ball or been available for selection as they have been loaned out. Blackman, Jerome, Ledley, Vydra, Pearce, Butterfield, Shackell all left the club and will never return so sound pretty "gone" to me. Others like Martin, Thorne have been loaned out but wlll return at end of season, so not "gone" Yet more eg Anya who have not "gone" but may as well not be here........? I've only tried to include 1st team squad members, but thats quite a long list there....... He's had to try and loan them/sell them if possible to try and get some contribution to the club, even if it wasn't even covering all their wages. I'd say he's achieved a high turnover on probably a cost neutral basis. I'd say that was a decent step, but you appear less impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just fail to be impressed or give Lampard too much credit for players going out on loan when he's probably had very little to do with it. Would be much more impressed if he'd got some of them to contribute to our cause whilst getting them in the shop window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 "Trying to ship out" seems like harsh wording ? Makes it sound like he's been placed on the wall outside the training ground, holding a piece of paper that says "FREE TO A GOOD HOME". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Basically, Carson hasn't played in pre-season, therefore he's on his way out. That's not to say I'd be surprised to see him go, as he doesn't seem that comfortable with the ball at his feet, but I think it would be a mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 It would line up with other reports that we're looking to bring in a new GK, in that scenario I'd be OK with letting Scott go. I'd rather not when it's just Scott, Roos or Mitchell/Ravas though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 As expected with the rumours over the last few months. Maybe there’s something in the Walton rumours then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Carson's poor distribution is costly to a team that wants to play it out from the back, coupled up with his dodgy shot stopping and frequent mistakes last season, it's definitely the right call to get him out if you can replace him with another keeper.
