You are prob right however right now "squad players" Thcamedeu Clarke Laurent Baker Lewis Hadjavanovic Vidigal Thompson Brazilian guy Campbell Preston guy Probably a whole bunch more. None of this lot yiu wany in your starting 11 all sucking up wages Baker, Laurent and Junior are not squad players True, they're starters for a bottom half championship struggler! 😒

So you think that we can sign 14 better players for next year and make a team out of them? If you think Dublin did a good job, then why do you want to keep only 2 out ot the 18 or 20 players that he signed. On that basis we would need to sign at least 120 players to get 14 that we were happy with. Do you think that we can do this? I think that’s better than keeping the likes of Laurent and Thompson yes. I didn’t say they’re the only two I want to keep. The keep list is made up only of players signed by him (plus Baker) though. Iversen Junior Burger Baker Manhoef Junho Mmaee And I’d add Vidigal in there too tbh. I think he’s been poorly handled. So yes I think we could sign another 6/7 we need for the first team and bench yes. Iverson wasn't on your original list. If 6 of his 18 signings we should keep then that is 1 out of every 3 that he signed. As I reckon that we will need, by your reckoning, to finish up with 14 new players that we are happy with then we will only need to sign 42 players. I don't really see us doing that, but maybe you do.

Maybe my maths are off as I am crediting him with signing all the players who came last year. Do you really think that Hak. from Celtic or all the others were good signings?

You think he signed Gooch, Johnson, Ennis, Cundle and Pearson? I think Haks is another one that has been handled terribly. I forgot about Wesley and think he was probably just about a Dublin signing and he’s utter shite.

I appreciate your honesty and I am not averse to signing 14 better players for next season. I just doubt our ability to do so.

I actually like Leris. He has his limitations but he offers something nobody else in the squad does and that’s winning headers in the attacking third. He helps out with Hoevers deficiencies too. Yes we need better but Leris has a part to play for me.

I like Stevens when fit, but as said in there lies the problem! He is way too injury prone to take the risk for another season in my opinion. Bring in two new left backs I say! Thompson for 5-6K per week would make sense for a couple of years, but he should only be back up as he already is of course! Stevens gets paid £20,000 per week; £1,040,000 a year and is the 4th highest ‘earner’ at the club. Just another reason why we shouldn't extend his contract!

And this versatility thing and how much bullshit it is. Gooch is your versatile full back who covers either side and is better than Thompson at left back. You don’t need another one. So versatility is bullshit but you'd take Gooch over Thompson because he is better at being versatile? Congratulations you've managed to contradict yourself in two consecutive sentences.

No the bullshit being that Thompson is versatile. He isn’t.

So you reckon that we need to sign at least 8 players, to make up a squad of 18 players. I think that we'll need at least 23/24 players, so we are going to have to keep more players or sign more. Do you really think that we are capable of signing another 14 better players this year? I think we can sign better than Jordan Thompson absolutely. I think Dublin did a good job overall too. And I’m not quite sure why people don’t want an overhaul with how shit they’ve been? There’s only Burger and Junho I’d be sad to see leave. The rest? Whatever. I very much doubt you could sign better than Thompson for the money he is on

We saw Delap get into wrestling matches with experienced players and losing badly, was wise heads that took us up in general . Ipswich have players that have been around the block

Thompson shouldn’t be starting more than 10 games a season. If he does you’ll be in trouble.

I think is clear that we'd shift him if we could but think we're lumbered with him

Pearson clearly doesn’t want to be here and can fuck off though. Metaphorically of course 🤣

Thing is we don't want to be buying another 18 players again in the off season soo keeping Tommo as a back up is a no brainer really. Id like to of kept Stevens as a backup LB but with his injuries it just isn't viable

I think both will stay.
Mainly due to the scale of the overhaul and they seem to be decent lads to try and cope with another 13 plus players signing.
