Four new signings before the window closes


David

Recommended Posts

I wrote down the 1st team squad, when it was annouced at the begining of last season with their shirt numbers. Some actually left before the season kicked off, some left before the window shut and some left in the January window. Some have now left this summer. Here is the list of players that have left in that 12 month period. Craig Bryson, Fikayo Tomori, Harry Wilson, Mason Mount, Bradley Johnson, Alex Pearce, Jacob Butterfield, Nick Blackman, Matej Vydra, Jamie Hanson, David Nugent, Marcus Olsson, Cameron Jerome, Joe Ledley, Luke Thomas, Timi Elsnik and Ashley Cole. Thats 17 players gone and the window is not closed yet (PNE have put a bid in for Lowe). We have only brought in 2 so far, with another 2 possibly announced tomorrow. I know the squad was top heavy and we sent some players out on loan. Feel free to name anybody I have missed off my list, I did'nt put down Andy King on the list (did he only play 1 game). Will FOUR be enough.

10 of those never played for the first team last season though. Cole and Nugent not that many. Only 4 were first team regulars  with 3 of those being loan players. 

That leaves Bryson which Sibley and Knight could probably do as good as if not better than given a chance. 

Bielik - Johnson

Clarke - Tomori

Dowell - Mount

which just leaves Wilson to be replaces and rumours say we are after a right winger.

The puzzle is being put together without all the wasted wages and the pathway for the academy products being blocked. 

4 or 5 including Bielik and Clarke sounds perfect to me

But who do we have to replace Efe Ambrose?

Only 9 of those never played for the 1st team. Joe Ledley made 1 appearance. Nugent played in 38 games, Cole played in 12 (50 games between them). The 4 regulars, Johnson 31, Mount 44, Wilson 46 and Tomori 55 and that leaves Craig Bryson who made 32 appearances. I agree we had wasted wages with players Lampard did not want. I dare say when Cocu releases the 1st team squad names and shirt numbers there will be some players that will get very little or no first team football this season. I expect we will bring in more faces in the January window unless we are doing the business and having a good season at that stage.

That URL is really misleading.

I know the lad has potential, but a bit of an ask replacing 2 players

One played 226 minutes at the start of the season, the other 152 after a new year. I know that sounds a lot, but if needed, hopefully Bird could handle such a fierce demands.

Players who have left 

Pearce Cole Tomori Bryson Butterfield Blackman Johnson Mount Wilson Olsson Nugent Thomas Elsnik

only Bryson Johnson Mount Wilson and Tomori were the only real first team starters who played regular

so we have replaced them with

Bryson-Shinnie

Johnson-Bielik

Mount-Dowell

Tomori-Clarke

Wilson-Yet to sign a replacement 

If Cocu said we are looking for at least four new signings

It is Bielik Clarke a New Gk as we are being linked with Bachmann and a Rw to replace Wilson which DET have reported we are interested in

Bielik, Clarke, Ramselaar & a RW would be ideal.

I think Cocu will give Roos until Christmas at least. He's inexperienced, but he has a lot of raw talent and is good with the ball at his feet. 

The only way we'll know is if we play him over a season. I don't think he's good or bad enough to make a huge difference at the moment.
