Recruitment for next season…

[Neutral Zone Ultra]

My football manager window...

Think we need to sell someone to get funds, and Robinson is the only one i can think of as a possibility.

Danilo CM (30m)
Nelson LW (5m)
Pepi (35m)
Meslier GK (Free)
Hwang SC/LW/RW (5m)
Malacia LB (Free)
Tomiyasu RB/CB/LB (Free)
March RW (Free)
75m

Reed (4m)
Wilson (Free)
Robinson (22m)
Raul (Free)
Lecomte (Free)
Castagne (4m)
30m

That sort of window would see us finish bottom lol

Are you saying Reiss Nelson? Crikey, Horatio Nelson's played more than him.

Even with 1 eye & 1 arm, he sent both the Spanish & French packing. Doubt Tuchel could manage that.

Whoever we do sign, please no more Arsenal rejects.

You've gone and done it. Now we'll sign another 2-3 Arsenal rejects.

Recruitment is one area of course but we also need to get more from ESR, 3 goals and no assists isn't good enough considering how much he cost. In general we need more goalscorers, we might see our top two scorers leave this summer.

Exaxctly! We lack goals if those two leave, but equally Raul is getting on so isnt going to be good for long.

McBride was 35 when he returned to the States. If Kevin & Bobb could get a decent number of penalties next season, Raul would be worth keeping. But you don't often get that with ponderously slow attacking.

Yes - Pepi and  Danilo aside (the latter more likely to go to a bigger club for a higher fee) - I think we need more  quality.

I also wouldn't sell Castagne and Robinson. This summer the priority is to sort out the central midfield and striker positions (2 signings in each), along  with a left winger (assuming we sign Chuk to play on the right). The defence can be reviewed the following season. In the meantime, it will be interesting see how good Luc De Fougerolles is playing for Canada at the World Cup..

You dont, and we will need a better goal scoring stratagy that winning penalties. I am currently at a loss as to where the goals will come from without Wilson and Raul

If we keep Robinson that he needs to go on some kinda of course for Crossing, or simply he stays back and Sess in front of him takes controll of that

West Ham sold rice and never replaced him and got relegated. The right time to sell is not always the right time for the good of the club

Selling and not replacing is probably their issue, rather than selling.

At this stage I think Sess should usually be the preferred starter anyhow (unless we specifically need Jedi's pure pace).
Keep him by all means but we really do have to find a way a) to improve his crossing but also b) to get more players making more intelligent runs to get onto the end of those crosses.

Yeah the issue was them blowing £40m on Max Kilman among others... Rice was always going to leave, nothing they could do about that.

[WindyCity]

With Wolves going down, might there be some interest in Arokodare?  Have always liked this player, and had hoped FFC would have had a nibble last summer.

West Ham spent c2/3 of the Rice funds on direct replacements in Edson Alvarez & James Ward Prowse (having really wanted Joao Palhinha). The issue was poor recruitment rather than "not replacing".

Although, as an aside, Alvarez on loan might not be a terrible way to supplement our squad next year.

He is an absolute distater of a footballer

Slow attacking a feature of this season under Marcos management.
New manager who knows.

[FFC007]

Well everything will stall until the manager situation is sorted....

Other clubs are already looking around and making enquiries, and granted yes the manager situation is completely unacceptable, we are still at ground zero with no movement whatsoever...

The Danilo ship has sailed top champions league clubs want him
