Allsop Bielik Cashin Buchanan *RWB* Knight Bird *LWB* Ebiowei Ravel Lawrence Foulkes, McDonald, Davies, Forsyth, Bardell/Solomon, Tommo, DRobinson, Sibley, Wilson, Stretton, Cybulski Two new wing backs to complete the starting lineup. Anyone who is sold or doesn't renew their contract would need to be directly replaced - no promotions from within. So you think Byrne will be sold presumably ?

And if it is, that back 3 is poor! Bielik is wasted at the back, especially as a right sided CB. No centre forward again? It’d be a long season. It’s a no from me Jimbo Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody who puts bielik CB needs their heads sorting best DM in the league just take him totally out the game! Bielik is the key for our team I'd be fumin if Rooney every puts him CB bielik in league 1 is basically promotion Rammy03 and RAM1966 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipleyRich Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 On 10/04/2022 at 09:07, Ghost of Clough said: For the first team? A first team squad should only have 2 players per position, maybe 1 spare taking the total to 23. You're suggesting we could keep as few as 3 players from out current squad for next season Allsop, Davies, Cashin, Forsyth, Tommo, Ravel and Ebiowei will still be with us. Then we'll also have a few other U23s filling in as squad players like McDonald, Wilson and Stretton. If all others not listed leave, then that's 1 GK, 4 defenders, 7 mids/forwards. Chances are, a couple of the others will stay on making the task a little easier. I`m not suggesting who SHOULD be kept, I`m suggesting who I think will be sold and who will leave on expiry of contracts. Big difference between who you would ideally like to keep and who you will be able to keep. CK is not going to be able to hand over a huge pot of money to build a squad and has already spoken about free transfers. But even frees come with up-front costs as well as wages. It`s going to be a huge challenge to build a competitive squad. Yes, playing for WR will be a huge attraction for many players, but L1, possibly on -15 points and restrictions on wages for a couple of years, will make it difficult to compete with other clubs. Wayne and his team have a huge job on their hands. And that`s assuming Everton don`t come calling again when they sack Lampard! jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what you said suggests only 3 players from the current squad could stay with us.

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I'm not convinced any international with hopes of playing regularly at the World cup for Poland will want to play in League 1. I'm also not sure we'd want to pay his wages and we will certainly find his fee handy. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybulski may be tall but he isn't very good in the air. We've developed technical players in the academy, not hoofball merchants, so completely the wrong style of play for our team.
