Gee SCREAMER !! Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 12 minutes ago, Cam the Ram said: Have a feeling Roos will be off even if we wanted him to stay. He may have changed, but based off of his history he seems to move around a lot when given the opportunity. He played for 6 or 7 different clubs at youth level, moved clubs 3 times in the space of 6 months before signing for us and if I remember correctly, he went on trial/was in contact with a handful of clubs when we were interested. Add to that the fact he's had a contract offer on the table for at least 2 months that he still hasn't signed, despite it being pretty clear now he's our number 1. It just makes me think he's got an agent who will probably find him a better contract elsewhere I suspect after today that contract will be signed in blood and arrive through Mels door next day guaranteed delivery .

Ambitious Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I wouldn't at all be surprised if our biggest signing in the summer is a keeper. Roos has done well, but mistakes at wembley and Derby fans don't go well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Next season just start with your best team each week, no trying to be clever and playing mediocre footballers. That means Marriott and Waghorn must start, build a formation around them as a front two, easy!. If Frank leaves Mel, I’m your man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariotofmyown Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Think I'm going to get an away membership next season, how much do they cost and do you first priority on away games, or is that season ticket holders? I live in South East so we've got Fulham, Luton and Charlton joining Brentford, QPR, Millwall and Reading. Think next season is going to be huge so few tickets available.

Roos has done well, but mistakes at wembley and Derby fans don't go well. I think that Roos has done competently, but with our defense likely getting weaker next season with Tomori going back and the heavy interest in Bogle (hope he stays though) I think trying to improve the position should be a focus. We've been linked with multiple goalkeepers so I wouldn't be surprised if we bring more than one in and Roos (and Carson) moves on. I think it's what he wants to do, personally. Seems odd to hold out since January while playing first team football if you're interested in staying. From our perspective it would make little sense, in our financial situation, to overpay an average goalkeeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carson IS the better keeper but there is the modern obsession with keepers playing it out from the back. Roos didn't do that today either. Might say he choked then. Hindsight is a wonderful thing for know-alls. At the time Roos got into the team, Carson's distribution of the ball was awful. Roos has done OK and it is unfortunate that the occasion seems to have got to him yesterday. There weren't loads of people calling for Carson to get back into the team.

Nuwtfly Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Roos got us to Wembley. That save in the Leeds game was unbelievable. I know people are angry now but, on the whole, he's done really well. I'd like to see him stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC Ram Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I can't help but think that we have missed a rare opportunity this season with 3 high-quality loanees. Buying the equivalent of Mount, Wilson and Tomori for next season would be well beyond our finances; loaning 3 players as good in their positions would be very difficult. Anyway, we'll see. On Frank's future. From Mel's perspective it may be tempting to turn Frank and his top staff into this season's Hughes / Vydra and cash them in for £10M pre season (wild guess) before their contracts run out at the end of next season. Morris may be balancing the attractiveness of a sale of the club with a contacted Lampard et al v the sale of the club with £10M more in the bank and the need/opportunity to bring in a new coach / coaching team. Maybe the latter would appeal to new owners who have a pet coach lined up... We'll see how this plays out in the coming weeks and months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffLuff Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I wouldn’t be surprised to see Mount/Tomori here next season. It depends on what Chelsea want obviously, but Tomori has his head screwed on and has enjoyed his time here. If he feels he can still develop here then why wouldn’t you be open to it? Mount too, of Chelsea don’t see him as being 1st teamer just yet then we might be a better option than a Prem team he’s not guaranteed to play at. Personally feel long term he would benefit of another year and really conquer the champ before making the move up, being pushed into a top side before he’s ready could be too much too soon (but the injuries to Hudson-Odoi and Loftus-Cheek May force their hand a bit) With Frank and Jody, we have a great card to play and even if it’s not those two I’d suspect we would be first in line considering the development Mount, Tomori and Wilson have had at Derby. Wilson is an interesting one, I feel he’s in a different place development wise. Can see Liverpool being interested in having him around and don’t think he’s quite as vital to try and keep (that’s not to underestimate that individually he’s had a great season and deserves the plaudits). Think we are in a good place as we have good youngsters coming through, two strikers who look to be reaching their potential, a decent smattering of experience, think Josefzoon and Evans will get more of a day next year, a settled core, a management team we can trust...oh and a returning Chris Martin too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With not much else to talk about over the next month or so, why not next season’s squad? I think it’ll be interesting to see what everyone thinks. To me, we’ll probably build off this: GKs - Roos, Ravas Defs - Bogle, Keogh, Davies, Forsyth, Lowe, Malone Mids - Johnson, Shinnie, Evans, Bryson, Holmes, Bird Wingers - Bennett, Lawrence, Jozefzoon, Thomas Forwards - Marriott, Waghorn Contract extensions: Roos, Johnson, Bryson Outs from who’ll be left: Carson, Wisdom, Huddlestone, Anya, Martin Ins: RB cover, CB starter, CM (advanced), RW (if we loan Thomas) I also expect a couple shock departures and a couple big loanees to come in. It’ll leave us with a squad capable of switching between 4231, 433 and 442 when necessary. A few youth players will feature with a few playing 5+ games and one featuring 15+ times (Thomas, McAllister, MacDonald?) Don’t want Roos or Ravas and think we definitely need another keeper. Can’t see Frank wanting three left backs unless he converts Forsyth to central defence or let’s Lowe out on loan again.Happy to let Bryson and Johnson go to free up big wages for new players. Jozefzoon might be Frank’s worst signing and I think Thomas, as skilful as he is ,is too lightweight for this division. I also think we’re saddled with Huddlestone,Anya and Martin for another year because of their wages. Lets hope Frank has targets in mind and the recruitment set up is already in action behind the scenes.No time like the present! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestKentRam Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I fear it's going to be tough next season. It hasn't started yet and we're already outside of the play-offs. Sort it out, Frank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Without a shadow of a doubt next season may turn out just to be a transitional 1 for us! The squad needs a major overhaul and personally those that need to go are: Roos doesn't command the area and doesn't look at all confident on set pieces. Wisdom Olsson Johnson Huddlestone Blackman Butterfield Martin Nugent Bryson Love the guy but knocking on a bit. Anya Lawrence Too inconsistent I know he's had his personal issues but not hard working enough They all need to go and that's on top of our 3 awesome loanees would love to see Tomori back next season. Not sure if Blackman and Butterfield are still ours or not? Need to stop dreaming of £20 million pound players like Wilson who I wouldn't sign anyway, and focus on the lower league players that Frank can develop and utilise the players in the under 18 that have done well. After Wembley we must have made enough money to fund at least 1 or 2 transfers and get some decent loans in again we might still have a decent side without such a big wage bill. Hopefully Frank stay which I'm sure he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
