Spanner73 Posted 13 August 2025 Posted 13 August 2025 (edited) A NEW OWNER PLEASE If nobody can see at this point that the club desperately needs a new direction going forward and if you can’t see that the culture and club is rotten from its foundations then I really don’t know what you are seeing. Any manager Any players Any system It wont make any difference whatsoever if the same attitudes continue on and off the pitch- look at Man Utd Personally I would like the club to lose every game lose every decent player spend a fortune on rubbish Give out ridiculous wages Get relegated to league 1 Not because I want to harm the club I love but I want this idiot out of our club ASAP and that is our only hope. Paying out for a ticket is supporting Dumb & Dumber IMO Edited 13 August 2025 by Spanner73 1
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 14 August 2025 Posted 14 August 2025 Left back 2x centre mids Striker That’s on top of replacing any key players.
South Shire Fox Posted 14 August 2025 Posted 14 August 2025 A striker urgently and a cm. Loans with options like in 23/24 are more then fine
fox_favourite Posted 14 August 2025 Posted 14 August 2025 I just don't see any signings. I haven't got a clue why we haven't even dipped into the loan market for a striker or something. But hey-ho.
lcfc sheff Posted 14 August 2025 Author Posted 14 August 2025 We have a squad more than capable of achieving promotion, as long as the manager can keep them confident and the morale high. however we definite need a few players through the door of a high quality to boost us or I fear some of the players not favoured by the fans will bring us down if they continue to sulk 1
Ric Flair Posted 14 August 2025 Posted 14 August 2025 Even without the possibility of El Khannouss going, we need a physical box to box midfielder. If he goes we need one and a creator. We also need another striker. Bare minimum two signings. If we can get rid of Justin/Coulibaly, Kristiansen, Faes/Okoli/Vestergaard and Soumare then we might another versatile defender. 3
LVFox Posted 14 August 2025 Posted 14 August 2025 Holding midfielder Bilal replacement Centre Forward i am flabbergasted that Lennon Miller and Richard Kone have gone for less than £8m between them. Every summer I’m looking at obvious transfers we are nowhere near. This will now be known as the “Nanasi scenario” 4
CloudFox Posted 14 August 2025 Posted 14 August 2025 I don't want to be all doom-and-gloom, but does anyone actually have any confidence we'll sign anyone now? I have a feeling either we won't, or it will be too little, too late for what we need. Striker, at least one starting CM, and a LB are desperately needed. 3

I certainly don't have any confidence we'll buy anyone even if we do make more sales. A couple of loans and/or frees late on in the window maybe but I don't think we'll come close to doing what we need to 2

Mike Oxlong Posted 14 August 2025 Posted 14 August 2025 What is the point of spending money before making big changes to the recruitment and contracts teams. It would just be more money down the pan. The present squad isn't good enough but I don't trust the present incumbents to make a difference through bringing new players in

Nope, it feels exactly like 22/23 to me We have signed our old keeper (Smithies), now we just need to wait for the sale of a couple of key players that we don’t adequately replace (Kasper and Fofana) Edited 14 August 2025 by moore_94 2 1
NewquayFox Posted 14 August 2025 Posted 14 August 2025 Our aim is to stay up this season (incoming points deduction won’t help) with what we have, last night we had Faes, Soumare, Winks & Daka in the proverbial shop window at the cost of going out with a disjointed poor performance, it’s clear to see what we need but only a big influx of money can help us this season…

After the Sheff Wed and Huddersfield game I’m starting to think we desperately need 4 signings… A left back, someone in the pivot who shows for the ball, a box to box midfielder who either excels in the press or is creative and a striker. At this point I couldn’t care if it’s loans or permanents. Go get someone like Harry Amass and Toby Collyer on loan for example.

We have about half a team capable of achieving promotion: Bilal, Fatawu, Mavididi, Winks, Jakub...maybe Faes, Vestergaard and Monga. Our midfield is lightweight and has zero creativity. We don't have a striker who can score 15 goals a season. We have one excellent full back but he's regularly injured. The rest aren't very good.

How depressing that it suggests yet more examples of how we keep cycling through our same mistakes. At a minimum, if we could just sign one starting CM, I would have a smidge of optimism as we progress through the season. That the club's actions have reduced me to that as being something I will accept as a minimum viable approach is so disappointing.
Crinklyfox Posted 14 August 2025 Posted 14 August 2025 We need a strong captain who will not tolerate half-hearted performances on the pitch. We have some players with talent and some with a decent attitude but also some who can't be bothered. This is a poison within the team and wider squad that has to be rooted out before we can move forward.
brookfox Posted 14 August 2025 Posted 14 August 2025 The same thing we’ve needed since the window opened, shift the deadwood and rebuild the midfield with energy, power and fight.
kingfox Posted 14 August 2025 Posted 14 August 2025 The midfield needed revamping under Cooper, all we got is Skipp for £25 million. The midfield needed revamping under RVN, but we hardly had any funds in January. Now the midfield needs revamping under Marti, but we’re currently left with less options. To make Marti ball work, you have to have midfielders that can press, cover ground and make recoveries. Just think Bournemouth for example with the type of options they have in that position. Maybe we can get away with Winks as the 6 in the Championship, but my god, please get an energetic midfielder to go alongside him, then get Soumare out the door and replace him with someone who actually wants to run, otherwise our chances of promotion will diminish. 1
Silebyfox_89 Posted 14 August 2025 Posted 14 August 2025 (edited) Can't see us buying anyone in any key positions it'll be outgoings only & a few loans once the prem has started. Desperate for a prime Ndidi clone to control the midfield & a striker. Skipp is too lightweight and Soumare isn't consistent enough either. Shambles really. Edited 14 August 2025 by Silebyfox_89
FoxinNotts Posted 14 August 2025 Posted 14 August 2025 Stefanos Tzimas on season long loan from our friends at Brighton please
FOXYTALK Posted 14 August 2025 Posted 14 August 2025 Anyone will do at this point. Owners and upper management have right royally shafted us. Lucky if we can get 2/3x loan players in. 1
