Subject: RE: [LU] Where now?
I think we will go for another 'old head' at the back, but Im not sure
when
Butler's contract is up? We have been linked with Weir again. We maybe
need another younger CH as cover.
Walton should be ready by next season. I think Butler has at least one more
year left on his contract, but it's time for him to move to a "Club Captain"
role, rather than "team captain"
There have been rumours that people are interested in Harding, if he goes
I
think we should try and get someone in there, but finding a good left back
is not easy at all.
As we've seen...
I think the rumours about Harding depended on us going up.
I don't think we need anyone up front, Cresswell was a big loss for us in
the final I think, but with Hulse/Cresswell/Blake/Healy I think we are ok,
especially if Beckford has a good preseason.
Agreed. Do you think we'll be able to get much for Moore?
I think we need something in midfield, maybe a younger/fitter right
midfielder to go along with Stone (assuming he wasn't on just a 1 year
contract and is therefore staying). On the left Lewis is ok. Derry is a
given, and I also think Douglas is too. I agree we need someone else in
. there along the same lines as Miller, maybe with a bit more physical
presence. I'd love to see Koumas come if he is on a free by now (must
be?)
to cover the left off with Lewis, and I think he could possibly do a job
in
the middle too.
Koumas is an excellent call. Now West Brom have been relagated do you think
that will make a difference to us being able to sign him?
<<snip>>
The two most important ingredients for next season = confidence and the
ability to break down and beat sides who come looking for a draw at ER.
Agree 100% - this has been our undoing at ER - so many teams have just come
to get a point and we've made them look good - our lack of pace and a
settled formation (so players know who's going to be where when) have
contributed to this problem, I think.
Financially KB should have a few million to spend on some players this
summer, following the £1.3m gate receipts from yesterday, plus the extra
cup
revenue we got and, hopefully, a slight resurgence in season ticket sales.
I expect our average gate to be back up to the mid to late 20's next
season.. and back above the 30's if we have a good start to the season.
Fingers crossed :)
Cheers,
Sean
