His stock will be low after having a relatively mediocre season at Bristol and we could possibly get him on a free/low fee. Looked decent when he was here and would thrive under Frank's management. Not if his brief appearance on Saturday is anything to go by! I'm not convinced by him and would prefer to see Sibley breaking through in that attacking midfield role. Comments on here about Evans from last week haven't aged well; albeit in a different role. Well done @Ghost of Clough for not giving up on a player who has had little game time. I realise the same could apply to Kasey Palmer but my point is I think we've got as good in our own youth teams without buying in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the management think Sibley is ready then great - But I've never seen him play so couldn't comment - I have seen Palmer play and thought he looked promising when played through the middle - Thought he looked wasted on the wing - However big question would need to be whether a Holmes/Palmer combo would have enough tackle in them? Stick a DM behind them yeh but would still want at least one of them to be able to tackle (Hughes could, Mount can etc) I think I've said Evans hadn't impressed so far but needed time - I'll counter that with saying a single good game doesn't mean he's suddenly 'the answer' either - Over time I reckon we'll see the player Lampard obviously thinks he is emerge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is, we've still got too big a squad to include everybody on a week to week basis and I do think some of Frank's signings were with an eye to the future. I would rather we got rid of some of the ageing players on expensive contracts than our younger relatively new squad players. I don't know what it is about Palmer, never did see much in him to be honest, but he could be very different with a decent run in a side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think one or two step overs tend to flatter to deceive - plus he hasn’t pulled up too many trees at either Blackburn and Bristol this year. I’d imagine Chelsea would be looking for millions for him too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC27 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Van De Hoorn for Swansea was absolutely quality against us on Wednesday, wouldn't mind him signing as he's about the right age and was so calm with the ball at his feet, he would be a good long term replacement for Keogh too. Their goalkeeper looked decent too made a couple of good saves and played well out of the back under pressure from us all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Der Hoorn is out of contract as well, but he will be getting paid in his next deal wherever he goes. He’s a very good player, though, you’re right.

r4derby Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Welbeck leaving Arsenal. Purely fantasy, but if he showed interest and didn’t want excruciating wages - would you? He is obviously incredibly injury prone, but there’s a lot of talent in there. I think I would say no as we’re not currently in the business of buying expensive players...unless we go up.

David Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 If we went up I wouldn't want us to fritter a load of money away on a striker that can't walk into Starbucks without picking up an injury. As with Daniel Sturridge, a club further up the table that can afford to take a risk as a backup will bring him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
