Honestly i would be happy with Veltman and Milner doing it next season.
Were we to sign someone else though i would be delighted though

As long as we can get them fit, we will have Veltman and Lamptey, with Offiah as a youngster coming through and Milner and Webster as experienced 'cover'. I think getting an Estupiñán alternative (other than Solly as cover) and trying to get Colwill (or alternative) are far higher priorities.

Apart from the benefit of a season struggling at the bottom of the PL (and getting relegated) how much is he more likely to be a useful RB squad member to us next season than Offiah?
No, I don't know any better than you ...........................

Nah - not the right sort of signings for us. We've all heard of both of them.......................................

What is the deal with Lamptey, he's techinclaly fit now isn't he? Why doesn't RDZ fancy him?
Is he ? He’s out for the season I thought

I thought he regained fitness again. Not sure now tbh.

Lamptey and Webster are so unreliable at this point they may as well not be here to be honest.
Winning the Europa League is worth around £8m, which is on a par with winning a group in the Champions League. Then you have something like +£2m for each place you finish higher in the premier league.
I am not sensing a massive cash injection, although I would still expect us to have a healthy transfer fund by our standards.
Given we have 2/3 incoming in the pipeline inckuding a record signing, I am not sure what other business we can expect and it feels like player sales will have a bigger influence than final league position on our transfer sepnd.

Just what we need, another incredibly injury prone right back.
Last week there was a pearl clutching 'why would RDZ sign for Spurs?' thread.
Last night RDZ had to compromise his midfield to play Caicedo completely out of position, until forced to rejig with a teenaged debutante.
Spurs - awash with fullbacks spent £40m on Porro - in January, just to appease a manager who they already knew loathed them.

I think that applies to many of our players now. Playing too many games with too few fit players left to pick from.

If only the much missed Ben's Grandad was still with us, he could have helped RDZ and the recruitment team in finding a suitable backup for Pervis.
Is he incredible injury prone ? Or has he suffered 1 major injury ?
Pfft. Bit of magic spray and get him out there.
Needs to man up and get with the programme.

Damn, I thought he returned to training a while back for some reason.

Maybe it's just as well, l don't fancy watching Albion in League Two ever again.
