We only have hardly any budget through conscious choice. Which is going to bite us on the arse as the other 19 clubs are making the opposite choice.
Yes , but you can't just what Forest and Chelsea are at , keep buying and buying with no idea how to fit them all in .We only have hardly any budget through conscious choice. Which is going to bite us on the arse as the other 19 clubs are making the opposite choice.
Lima is the Semedo replacement.Our squad planning sucks. Looks at the backline.
No squad list is ever perfect but ours just seems so haphazardly assembled, and has for a long time.
- Ambivalent about Sa, but clearly there's room for improvement at keeper, rumours suggest the same.
- Still haven't replaced Kilman at CB with a first eleven calibre player. Too many unknowns currently.
- No proper backup for RAN after sending Bueno on loan, having to use other players to cover is not ideal.
- Even on opposite flank there's been no future planning, Semedo isn't going to be here forever, they're seemingpy relying on Docherty to be though...
I haven't suggested we go down the Chelsea route. I am suggesting there are significant holes in an already small squad, and twenty million isn't going to cut the mustard.Yes , but you can't just what Forest and Chelsea are at , keep buying and buying with no idea how to fit them all in .
I have no issue with us buying a small number of players as long as our squad is big enough to withstand injuries over the course of a season . Last weekend our bench was fine , and there are three others to come into that ( Semedo , Traore and Lima ) .
Ramsdale in and Sa out is a straight swap . I won't say no to that , but our squad would not increase in size - but I think overall he is an improvement .
O' Shea adds nothing extra to the naked eye and Bueno would go out on loan then one assumes - so , why do it then ?
We need one more player I would suggest , that would make a significant difference ( CB , Forward , Winger ) . What I have seen to date in rumours do not tick that box .

Chelsea is not a good example - I grant you that , but Forest would be . We have 25 senior players - actually forgot Tom King - that's 26 . I don't think there is a whole lot wrong with the number , it's the quality in certain areas that is an issue .I haven't suggested we go down the Chelsea route.

Lots of posters here describe our squad as too small , I'm not sure I agree in terms of numbers . We just need more quality , but quality is hard found when you offer them our terms and conditions .As suggested by absolutely nobody
It’s very unbalanced. We don’t need POD, Guedes and Chiquinho but we do need a LB. Probably ok for numbers of CHs but quality definitely lacking. Cover for CF wouldn’t go amiss either.Lots of posters here describe our squad as too small , I'm not sure I agree in terms of numbers .

I don't think they do, they describe it as lacking in quality / not able to play the way the manager wants / don't want to be here.Lots of posters here describe our squad as too small , I'm not sure I agree in terms of numbers .

That's fair on the lack of balance and LB situation . Proper cover for Larson is another - as in a player who can be a regular goal scorer and play that central role .It’s very unbalanced.

None of the players you mention will play for us this season so hopefully they are loaned out.That's fair on the lack of balance and LB situation . Proper cover for Larson is another - as in a player who can be a regular goal scorer and play that central role .
I am assuming that loans will be arranged for the likes of Hodge , Cundle , Lonwijk , Campbell and a few more .
They were keeping tabs on him last season. This wouldn't surprise me at all. If we sell him we will be relegated.
