We do need Cover for Winks though? We don’t have anyone really

Winks and Wilf in a pivot Skipp back up for Winks, and Hamza backup for Wilf Bin off Soumare, loan out Braybrooke I would love Braybrooke to be the back up to Winks but after over 1 year out injured and no senior football it may be best for him to go out on loan 2 of Wilf, Hamza, or Soumare in a pivot if Winks gets injured or suspended is scary to think of

Assuming we keep everyone, I would happily bin off Soumare I wouldn’t be surprised if the club choose to loan out Braybrooke as well

Already played a lot with Kristiansen as well which would help both

Cooper still hasn’t really had much of a chance to fully evaluate the whole squad together yet so we don’t know yet what he thinks about Kristiansen, Soumare, Souttar, and Coady (and possibly Thomas) We don’t usually see young players going out on loan until August either

He has been at Juve since Jan 2020

They don't have to wait for his work permit to be sorted before they announce it - like with Okoli it was announced and mentioned it was "subject to Premier League and international clearance." His work permit shouldn't be an issue either as he qualifies very easily for a GBE No clue why it is taking so long and it wouldn't surprise me if it is just the club putting together some stupid announcement, but it still also wouldn't surprise me if we were one of very few if any clubs who could mess up such a straight forward deal

About to start playing through the Gears of War games I never played 4 or 5 but I loved the first 3 Thought I might as well replay through them and finally play the other 2 after the new one was announced!

@Finnegan Get em all!

I don't think he will be a part of our squad for the season I can see him signing a new contract with us and then going out on loan in the Championship Hopefully it goes well enough and we can get a bit of money for him next summer

Enzo really didn't help Daka during that period when literally everyone could see that he needing taking out of the side as like you say his confidence was absolutely shot Maybe he was hoping he would score and that would sort him out? God knows but it definitely didn't help Unless we do go out and buy a new number 1 striker I expect Daka will be our starting striker, I just hope he gets off to a good start if he is because it wont take long at all for fans to turn on him as even with the stats showing how effective he is, he is still very much a player who splits opinion on opposite ends of the scale

Nah definitely just league games

9.4 on FBref

Daka's overall stats would be even better if he hadn't underperformed compared to his expected goals by a fair bit as well

Surprised he wants to join up with that muppet again

The last 2 I think could be entirely dependant on how Braybrooke and Alves get on in pre-season The other 3 I definitely agree with

Ricardo was 4 years and thankfully looks like it has worked out well (but yes still "broken" at the time) Albrighton last signed a new contract for 3 years in 2021 after a season with 42 appearances and 25 starts

Have they been linked with Soulé? Fulham are after Smith-Rowe

Yep, and still hasn’t been replaced!

I think there is still 4 roles that need filling Assistant Manager Willy Caballero > Alan Tate First Team Coach and Analyst Danny Walker and Javier Molina Caballero > Steve Rands Goalkeeping Coach Michele De Bernardin > Danny Alcock Set Piece Coach None > Andrew Hughes Fitness Coach Marcos Alvarez > ? Under 21s Manager Ben Petty > ? Development Coach (1st team transition) Roberto Vitiello > ? Head of Player Development Paul McGuinness > ?

Absolutely made sense at the time to give him a contract that long
