    Your comments would be much more interesting if you were prepared to name names.

    One of the most intriguing conundrums is.....who will be first choice left back?


    Easy, Lewis!

    That's the first position crossed off my summer shopping list. Now on to:

    Goalkeeper
    Right Back
    Central Defender
    Central Midfielder
    Forward

    Another position off the summer shopping list! On paper, another excellent signing.

    Now on to:

    Right Back
    Central Defender

    Looking forward to seeing how the new signings work out and what impact they will have on our starting 11.

    👏

    Where indeed? But given that Grigg is first choice striker unless injured, where does any striker fit in except as back-up. And Madden can play as a striker or behind a striker, which makes him a back-up plus.
    If he stays free of injury he's worth gold to any team at our level.

    Let's hope you're right, for our sake.

    Soccerbase had him down as starting 9 games and making a further 18 substitute appearances last season (more than I thought) and I don't recall his contribution as being close to gold standard.

    Like I said a few months ago on here, Paddy should be starting games but not necessarily at our club. Hindsight's a wonderful thing.

    i think him not really fitting into our system so far its not worked out but im more than happy for him to be here.

    That's the conundrum for me. Even when fit, where does he feature in our system?

    Vast majority of this board, sadly.

    Essentially we’ve offered him a contract. He’s said thank you, I’m wanting to do pre season and make sure my body feels right. If things go swimmingly he’ll sign. If not, he’ll step away and assess his options.

    A fully fit JD, with a full pre season behind him will be an absolute monster at RB next season. All being well. Shecks as 2nd choice. VDC as 3rd choice and probably head out on loan. He’s on relatively low wages in comparison to majority of the squad.

    Of course the other scenario is that our offer and what he considers his worth to be, subject to a successful pre-season, are miles apart and therefore he wants to keep his options open (squeeze us for more money or look elsewhere).

    If he was happy with the contract, he would have surely signed it and not run the risk of pre-season. I'm a bit too long in the tooth to believe that players have their (potential) employers best interests at heart!
