Vindaloo FOX Posted 14 August 2025 Posted 14 August 2025 Danny Ings ( free ) , not who I want but feel it's who we will get sadly. Charlie Savage ( loan ) Kian Best ( loan )

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. The rest are a high enough quality to carry the team, there is far far weaker squads in the league going for promotion other than us!
lcfc sheff Posted 15 August 2025 Author Posted 15 August 2025 Seems to be looking like we’re more likely to go for loans. Clearly we aren’t wanting to spend actual money this summer (perhaps with it looking likely we’ll have to spend big next season with all the contracts running out) who are some out of favour premier league players who would add to us on loan with options to buy?

Not sure if West Ham would let us have Freddie Potts on loan for the season but he'd be a good central midfielder for what we need. And then team Fatawu back up with Chermiti on loan from Everton. Both were at Sporting together. He's in theory the type of striker we need, 6ft 3 and quick.
AjcW Posted 15 August 2025 Posted 15 August 2025 Been doing some barrel scraping given our apparent situation. A real PUNT in the absolute best sense of the word could be Josh Dasilva. Has really suffered with injuries but a 6 month/1 year contract to see if he's still got something might not be the worst shout. If he does still have something he'd bring some real energy into the midfield.

jbflcfc Posted 15 August 2025 Posted 15 August 2025 I would love a big horrible unit up there. Almost mitrovic’esque when Fulham were in the champs, anyone agree? 1

South Shire Fox Posted 16 August 2025 Posted 16 August 2025 (edited) A pacey striker desperately and a CM with a bit of physicality. Saw West Brom are trying to loan Toby Collyer.. surely we should be trying to get him? Loans are the way forward in our financial predicament Edited 16 August 2025 by South Shire Fox 1

AKCJ Posted 16 August 2025 Posted 16 August 2025 So desperate for midfield options and a striker. We can't go a full season with Hamza, Soumare, Skipp and Winks as the 4 central midfielders and Daka and Ayew as the strikers. 3

Muzzy_no7 Posted 16 August 2025 Posted 16 August 2025 Genuine question: Is Josh Brownhill a viable leader?
