Where has this "early November" info come from? 10 weeks was quoted last week. So by the time he’s back training and up to first team football, it’ll likely be November.

Scotch Posted 17 August 2023 Share Posted 17 August 2023 What I reckon/hope out squad will look like come the 2nd of September... GK, Hermansen, Stolarczyk LB, Doyle, VK CB, Coady, THB, Faes, Souttar, Nelson RB, Ricardo, JJ #6, Winks, Ndidi, Braybrooke #8, KDH, Chair, Praet, Casadei, Alves LW, Mavididi, Marcal RW, Albrighton, Rak-Sakyi, Mcateer ST, Nacho, Vardy, Archer Leaving would be, Iversen, Ward, Thomas, Vestergaard (realistically he'll stay and Souttar will go), Catagne, Hamza (again, chance he stays and Wilf goes), Soumare, Daka. LW stands out on paper as being weak but with Chair and Archer in the squad, there is plenty of cover. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The injury was already 3 weeks in at the time the statement was made.Therefore you cannot take it from the date it was announced . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FosseSpark Posted 18 August 2023 Share Posted 18 August 2023 I think the amount of business likely to be done by end of Aug is staggering and supports the theory that relegation or major surgery was required to get rid of the dead wood. The fact so many were uncontracted makes it feel planned. If we sell Soumare, Kristiansen, Ward/Iversen, Daka, Castagne, Souttar then tbey will join Maddison, Barnes, Mendy, Perez, Evans, Tielemans, Soyuncu, Amartey, Tete having left - so circa 15 in all with the net profit negating the relegation income loss. If we manage to bring in the likes of harwood-bellis, chair, a right winger and a striker then massive major surgery will have been completed and arguably our squad will be more fit for the future because of it. If that is done with a 100% win rate start to August, whilst playing the likes of lurch, choudhury, madivadua, stolarcyk in an entirely new formation/style - tthen enzo is some kind of f#cking wizard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This player gave me Robbie Savage vibes, the way he carried himself going around the pitch, he is not too quick and with a high back lift, he doesn't generate push power on his shots. He does have a good chipped ball and good vision and awareness, not sure I would be clamouring for his inclusion in our squad ahead of other prospects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Fresh Posted 19 August 2023 Share Posted 19 August 2023 (edited) This fella having a very good time of it in Uruguay, looks like he'd be class just for the chaos he'd cause. Another Nigerian in South America is the lad below, playing in the Venezuelan top flight, currently second in the scorers list and third for assists Couple of new one's for you here @Ric Flair Edited 19 August 2023 by Tommy Fresh 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio Fannieri Posted 20 August 2023 Share Posted 20 August 2023 Before the close of the window, I think we need cover for Winks, my suggestion would be Ben Whiteman from PNE, good deep lying playmaker in Winks mould keeps possession ticking over and offers a bit of protection in front of the defence, he is out of favour after a falling out with the manager, not a glamorous signing but would be a great squad addition and relatively cheap whilst giving Braybrooke opportunity to get himself back to fitness and slowly build back his form and confidence after such a serious injury. I think a bid of £3m would probably do it. Would give us strength in depth off the bench and reduce the workload on Winks and possibly even Ricky P.

Oscar Zambrano or Fabricio Diaz, both always being linked with big clubs but neither have made a move yet and Diaz has been told he can go for a certain fee. Although as a back up Zambrano would be more likely as I feel Diaz is ready made to be starting weekly.

Him and Krisztián Lisztes I just cannot see how they don't make it in a top 5 league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer for the forward if Daka goes, the rest is highly unlikely at this moment as we need bodies out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shen Posted 20 August 2023 Share Posted 20 August 2023 Let's get Gnonto, just because he's an FM legend. He's Italian and plays as a wide attacker and probably has a relegation release clause of about two packets of crisps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
