Not seen much of Championship this season but just noticed that ex Leeds, Jack Clarke from Ipswich scored 17 goals, not too shabby, would he be worth bringing back?
For me I’d sell James and Gnonto and probably need 2 wingers, I would like Harry Wilson too.

06 May 2026 08:19:34
Defo sell DJ, but I'm still undecided on Willy (phnaar!) . DJ did a great job for us, but won't cut it as we try to progress. WG, for me, is a player who needs full matches to get up to speed, and build confidence, and he's had zero time consistently this seez.

Still a talented young player to come out, and I'd hate to see it at another team.
PS. Where has ILoveKoch gone?

06 May 2026 08:23:46
Would sell James for Clarke, but not Gnonto. However, not sure Clarke is prem quality. Looking for upgrades this window.

Once the season over reckon we need to run an in house World Cup comp. Maybe predicting last 4 winner and top scorer.
Be nice to see a newbie win it tbh but can't really see one strong enough.

If, the CBs are pretty much guaranteed then do we spend/ gamble big to oust an incumbent or maybe save a couple of quid and buy an experienced back up?
How about a move for Tyrone Mings?
A left footed CB, ex England with a contract expiring 2027 and valued at only 4million.

05 May 2026 19:41:36
I don't think we need to spend big on a CB, assuming we keep all our regular first choices, so buying an experienced backup like Mings could be good business. I really like Senesi at Bournemouth, but he's more likely to be looking for a big name club and be more like £20-30M.


If Wet Sham go down, there's likely to be a bit of a fire sale there, and whilst all the noise will be around Bowen and Somerville, I rather like Castellanos. They paid £25M for him in Jan, and if we could land him for something near that he could be just what we need.

I think we need to be fairly careful. The medical staff have done a superb job keeping the team healthy overall - our squad has missed the fewest matches this season to injury (77 apparently) . Testament to medical, Farke's formation, and some luck there too.

With approx 120m to spend (net in Reading) , we do need some more depth. Also, don't be fooled that there won't be some bids for our better players. Struijk has had some interest, no doubt Gabby will too. Not that we want to sell, but we want to be ready to be able to if silly money came in.

That's how Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth have been so successful.

Mings, for me personally, is too big a name, and on too big a decline to warrant looking at seriously. I'd prefer to look at Doekhi or Adam Webster, who are both out of contract. Webster, admittedly, is on the back of an ACL.

Ben Davies, another we've been linked with for a while - he'd be a Byram upgrade/replacement as an emergency. I'd want another left back (Gabby clone) and allow Justin/Bogle to lock down right back.

05 May 2026 20:42:56
Please, not Mings. A terrible defender, and gradually getting worse.

05 May 2026 21:01:43
Senesi is a free transfer.

05 May 2026 23:14:04
Allegedly, Senesi has already verbally agreed a deal with Spuds, subject to their PL survival, but Liverpool and Juventus are looking to hijack it, so he's probably a non starter. I'd certainly prefer Doekhi or Webster to Mings. Agreed, Ealing, we need to be prepared for offers for a number of our players, and deal with them appropriately.

My shopping list would be a backup LWB, a RW (Wilson?) , a GK unless we retain both Darlow and Perri, a CB (assuming Bornauw is going) , and a decent striker (say Castellanos if Sham are relegated) .

06 May 2026 08:21:46
Castellanos is a good shout tho, Jr! He was excellent against us, and I believe he'd be a solid addition without breaking the bank.

What a disgrace of a Club, Team Chelsea are these days, stealing a living, and only turning up to play when there’s a trophy on the line, hope fellow cheaters Citeh smash them in the FA Cup.

04 May 2026 19:30:21
Clubs don't win trophies with that policy in football class.
Still sticks in my throat that we didn't beat Cheatski.
Looking forward to us thrashing them again at Elland Rd. next season.

05 May 2026 01:11:22
Chelski are only 5pts ahead of us with 3 games to go. We may yet overtake them.

05 May 2026 08:17:46
Wouldn't that be fantastic, JR. Six straight losses in the league for Cheatski now, bottom of the form table, and away at Liverpool next.

05 May 2026 08:45:37
And long may it continue.

05 May 2026 12:39:17
That would be so funny, JR!

05 May 2026 16:10:34
Chelski's performance yesterday was as bad as Villa's on Sunday. Gift wrapped 3 points for the opposition.
