My feeling is a minimum of two, maybe 3. Still need... Big striker. Left back. Quick and tricky Winger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick and tricky Winger. Ricky, there will be another 4 at least at this point. Lyons is done, just awaiting confirmation. We'll also be signing a Left Back, Winger and Forward as an absolute minimum. There will also be another centre half if Ferdinand opts to leave.

It would be fairly unusual for us not to have a get out clause, but we might have him on the cheap as we are effectively training him and giving him 1st team experience... I know that is just speculation, but we do not know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we have opted for the Czech lad over Lyness ? Because we have wanted the Czech guy since before Xmas (according to the player himself on Liberec's website, we tried to get him in before Xmas but couldn't get an agreement to bring him over) . Meaning that if all went to plan, we knew he was coming in regardless. The 2nd choice would have then been between Rodgers and Lyness. At a guess, we'd have preferably opted for Lyness staying (given he'd risen to first choice) but probably couldn't break the loan deal off with Rodgers going back up north meaning we have to keep him for rest of the season. So with one goalie they couldn't move on and a goalie they knew they definitely wanted coming in, they weren't in a position to offer Lyness anything. Which makes sense of what Oran said when Lyness was released. Edited January 11, 2019 by djchapsticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were to believe it. That would do a lot for his confidence, assuming we don't want him and they don't want him back at this time.
