Phillips and Connell going would imply Russell staying surely? Don’t mind that by the way, just wary of his contract situation. If we use a smallish chunk of the money for the other 2 on a new long term contract for him I would actually be quite happy with that. Especially if it opens up a pathway for Vimal and Jono to stake a claim.
I don’t want to be negative but why does it look at the minute that we will be playing more or less an under 21 team next season. Robert’s will be like a grandad to the rest of the team, the only thing we can do is pray that we have a decent team by the end of the window.
Going with so much inexperience results in 2 things and weve seen it enough over the years Frequently bullied off the ball in far too many games Resulting in struggle after strugle Relegation On the cards before a ball is kicked in anger based on that policy alone if that's the case and the preferred way forward.
Yes me too, I’d be quite happy if we gave Russell a new contract and played him in the Phillips role. I always thought the team couldn’t have them both playing at the same time, both relatively poor defensively which puts more pressure on whoever is playing CDM. Personally I’d like to see an older head playing the deeper position, think Matty James. With Bland as backup for another season. Play Russell and DKD as 10s with a No9 in front and wingers. easy this management job!
There's a special place in hell for people who think it's funny to kid people on about us signing players
Read earlier to day (just can’t remember where) that the club are wanting a round 5million for DKD fair playing to them if true
