John McCarthyLe ModFujimoto is fine so long as we simultaneously add the running power we need in the team, which we are doing, mostly. Don’t take it to heart
Albeit YouTube stuff so taken with a pinch of salt, Fujimoto didn't look like a slouch to me. He can get about pitch it seems.
Also, technique can go along way in football, dropping into space, been smart on the ball, using your body well. Just been a big fecker and running around doesnt automatically mean success. We've had a few of those over the years, lumbering round, looking shit.
TCKROYeah we are bound to move some players on, haven't a clue who though!
Keshi for the right offer?
Three post to go to reach 500. Got to be one of the longest threads in a while.
Over the last decade or so Blues fans have been obsessed with 2 things: strikers with pace and footballers with “ physicality “.
I will put it to the room, that the reason for that isn’t that technical ability is less important, but because the less athletically gifted players we’ve had have been shit.
Can't see Keshi going anywhere.
Wright, Dykes and maybe Thor I could see leaving if the money is right.
I think Hansson is likely to go before Keshi

Might struggle to give Dykes away

Keshi was excellent last year, really worked hard pre-season to become the player he did. Fantastic contributions throughout the season and was often our go-to player to make something happen.
Get a feeling that someone will come in for him, Derby or Oxford for obvious reasons. Hunch is based off nothing other than the expanding squad. I love Keshi and want him to stay mind
My Bomb Squad/exit list 25/26 nominees list:
Dion Sanderson
Krystian Bielik
Emil Hansson
Tyler Roberts
Alfie May
Marc Leonard
Lyndon Dykes
Bailey Peacock-Farrell
Emmanuel Longelo
The trouble we'll have will be how much we are paying them.
For a player, do you keep receiving the money on a good contract and not play or do you play somewhere else for less money and less time?
Why’s Bielik on your bomb squad ya lunatic?
Even if he’s 4th choice after another signing, there’s no reason to get rid unless he wants to leave.
We need both, we need players with pace and running power but also ability and intelligence, ideally we recruit players who possess all of it in one package, but we should have a squad that possessed everything, I think that’s all anyone has said.
Don’t think a single fan has asked for players who are simply big and can run around a bit, that alone is pointless without intelligence, ability, quality etc.
I’m fine with Fujimoto cause we are simultaneously bringing other physical profiles in, I just remain a little unconvinced by his pedigree to date, I think that’s fair enough.
I'd add add Sampsted to that list as well. Its likely we'll attempt to move on Chang and Hall as well.
PearcygeneralBlueAnyway WTF are you doing Blues ?
It's been at least a couple of hours since we added to the squad.
Not long now Chris!
Steve, you reckon this has legs then?
Kyogo, not General, we know his have gone.
