It’s not as good as we like to think. We have a decent first 11. Ameobi should have been a squad player playing 20-30 games- he became our only weapon late on in the season. Diakhaby was shocking. I do wonder how much of a priority we are for Marinakis?
We could have piggy backed more on oly. Podence would have been a great 6 month loan and increased his value for oly.
We will sell cash for 10 - 15m, I have a feeling lolley will go to villa and Worrall may well go to a prem club. Again ripping the heart out of the side.
Did Sabri use all the tools at his disposal the best he could is the only question that needs answering and I think it is a yes on the whole.
Carvalho Bostock and walker were underused for me. Walker could have played the wide forward role too.
But recruitment more to blame than Sabri.
If only we could keep Worrall, cash and lolley and add rather than sell to fund crap. That is what I fear.
I've always had the feeling that, as part of the owners test, EM had to demonstrate to the EFL that he wouldn't abuse their rules by switching players on loan between the two clubs. And he's probably keeping a low profile here to stay under the radar.
I reckon we'll lose one of our decent players and that's probably going to be Cash, as he's shown he can play in a way that's close to modern premier league football. I don't think Lolley is good enough for the prem myself. He may have the odd good game for a club but IMO they're not going to splash out the £15m or so we'd presumably be asking for an impact sub. He's not a young lad any more.
Sabri's made mistakes, but you can't see past the poor (and lack of) recruitment in the 2 last windows.
Podense is too good for the Championship and the Olympiakos fans would have been furious if he was loaned to Forest.
That was never going to happen.
Panic on the streets of Croydon, Derby, Sheffield, Leicestershire.
