TomTom92 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Paris Maghoma allegedly signing for Bolton for £1m. Would’ve liked him at Derby, would be nice to see us make a signing in that sort of fee as well. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see Evatts still got water pistols up top with him and Collins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do fancy Bolton to finally get it done next season, but they need to sort their defence out - it's honking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 On 03/07/2024 at 08:16, Ambitious said: Now we know what we're left with with Sibley gone, along with Collins resigned (as well as Jackson, Yates & Osborn). I make it: 2x goalkeepers 1x left back 1x right-sided CB 1x defensive midfield 1x central midfield (potentially Kenzo Goudmijn) 1x central midfield/attacking midfielder 1x left sided winger, attacker. 1/2x striker I think we're probably done with players on the right, with: Nyambe, Wilson, Ward, Rooney, Jackson, Barkhuizen & Mendez-Laing. I concur on all of this but it serves to highlight how much work is still to be done this summer. On one hand it’s very exciting to see who we’ll bring in for those attacking positions. But in particular, I think you need another body for defensive midfield - I felt towards the end of last season we’d struggle if Ebou went down injured and there was no natural replacement for him. We’ll likely have him back again but the issue is the exact same and, if we’re being harsh, he’s not exactly a proven championship player. I fully expect he’ll have another belter season for us but it’s in the range of outcomes that he gets injured/doesn't make the step up. Assuming Ebou signs and plays in whatever formation we’re playing, I feel like you need to sign another ‘destroyer’ because let’s say you get Goudmijn and (here’s hoping) Bobby Clark for those other spots, you’re currently relying on Fornah to fill in/compete with him.

jimtastic56 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Could I respectfully Suggest to DCFC that we now have enough players who are are going to be 30 or 30+ during the coming season . We have lost Bird , Sibley, Knight and almost Cashin recently . Lots of clubs around us are producing and buying in young players . Improving them and making 10’s of £ millions . Can we please have a bit of that ? RoyMac5, Ted McMinn Football Genius and Gerry Daly 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we please have a bit of that ? How many of those 30+ players will be regular starters though? Only Nelson and Menez-Laing IMO. The others are mostly fringe players, a couple may even be avaiable for transfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksRam Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 OCD proof police here. When talking about Collins can we please refer to him as re-signing not resigning. I keep having palpitations thinking he's resigned when in fact he's re-signed 🙂 FlyBritishMidland, Bob Gnarly and archram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharp_Ram Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Odd take, it's going to be balanced, more so than last year. The average age of the squad will be down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chellaston Ram Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 This season we need to ensure we don’t get relegated, so if that means relying on some over 30’s as opposed to untried youngsters with potential then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying we currently have 2 29 year olds who will be battling it out to play at LWB. You also name Jackson, who at 30, has only had 2 seasons in his career as a regular starter, most recently in 19/20 when he started just 28 games.... he won't be a regular starter for us either. Bradley also only started 17 games for us in L1 - I'll be surprised and very dissapointed if he has a bigger role this season. He hasn't started more than 50% of games since 20/21.

Could I respectfully turn the conversation around and please tell me the names of the young players( regulars ) that we are going to improve and perhaps make money on ? ( Cashin is a given) .

We've been very strongly linked to signing Doudmijn (22) and Hinshelwood (19), with rumours for Dembele (21) and Al-Hamadi (22) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 We do have a good core of senior players now. I think one in the middle, maybe Adams and look to bring in some younger players to look to the future jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
