A midfielder we are looking at is 100% Aaron Collins - that one has come straight from Sparrows lane. Not too sure why it’s a big secret it’s quite well known 😂
Isn't he more of a winger/striker? Might be a good replacement for CBT if we're still going to play with wingers but if we're already finalising Ikpeazu and Ladapo I would be surprised to see us still looking at him as a striker for a 352
Can/would play in the 10
The 10 in a 3421 I'd get. Him and May behind Ladapo/Ikpeazu would be interesting. I'd be surprised if Appleton put him as the 10 in a 352 as he's shown he prefers having three standard midfielders in that role when he has the choice. Either way it's an exciting link
I personally think Corey leaving will bring out the best in Tayo Edun.
Corey's inability and unwillingness to offer ANY defensive assistance often leaves Tayo overloaded so wingback will probably suit him as he'll have a left sided centre back to cover him when he goes forward as long as we have sufficiently smart and mobile central midfielders to drop in and cover any gaps that may leave. That second half against Peterborough was very decent to watch and gives me hope that maybe, just maybe, we might be on to something with a 3-5-2
Maybe the Port Vale guy is a more reliable replacement for Chucks?
Not suggesting he’s better but perhaps injured less and will we pay up Chucks contract in the summer?
We won’t pay up Aneke’s contract, it would be a stupid thing to do! What’s the point in paying him all the money he’s owed and him not playing for us, might as well pay him the money he’s owed and use him when he’s fit

Agree, said the same thing the other day, plus with CBT in front of him we haven't got to see much of his attacking play because Corey does it all himself.
Collins would be an incredible signing. Him playing behind a front 2 of May and Leaburn (or Ladapo) should piss the league next season

We get those 4 signings right in the summer, we win the league.
Don’t need wingbacks Watson and Edun are excellent young players who will only get better their problem is the players they had in front of them not tracking back ..

I agree, I think it’s a natural wing back as opposed to a full back. The only thing I’d like him to do more is whip in a cross, there were a few times when he checked back onto his right foot against P’Boro in the second half.
The position I’d be looking to strengthen in the summer is RWB. Not sure Watson is good enough.

I think they will be better suited to wing back, we will see over the next few months. But we will still need to sign AT LEAST one wing back in the summer. So might as well aim to bring in better than we have got

We have Asiimwe to cover Watson, who would you play left wing back if Edun is unavailable?

Watson is 27 in 2 months, and Edun is 26 before the end of the season. players closer to 30 than 20 are not young players. I think both are fine as squad players but if we want to challenge at the top we need better next season.

a bid has or is going in, if it is acceptable that is another matter yet. It is a sizeable offer that’s for sure
If they take the piss then this could be one for the summer when he’s only got 12 months left
I can see there being a lot more competition looking to sign him then, if they really want him, would be best to go after him now and just paying the premium.

If we sign these players, and this bloke still can't pick up a win in 10 attempts, something is seriously wrong
Goalkeeper - Ward
Defender - Edmonds-Green
Midfielder - Collins
Striker - Ladapo
Striker - Ikpeazu
or have I got this wrong?
