So Bielsa is getting to grips with the situation at Thorpe Arch and the cull has started. I wonder what he is making of Orta's handy work on the recruitment for last season.

Wonder if Radz is saying "victor" I thought you told me this player was a good one.

Atleast we will see no more "ones for the future" while he sorts the wheat from the chaff.

Surprised and shocked that we have only given Paudie O'Connor a 2 year deal. Does that mean that if we send him on loan for a year when we get get him back if he has progressed, and there's nothing to say won't, then we have a player with just one year left on his contract? What a state of affairs. Surely he is not paying the price of all these on four year contracts?

I think your exactly right Leodis on all fronts! Hopefully once Bielsa sees the potential it’s something they will rectify a year in, still glad we have him tied down to something and clearly he cannot be on the ‘exit’ list.

I believe the club has the option to a third year

Further to the Vydra chase I have just looked at his stats. Season 17/18 44games 22 goals; 16/17 38games 5 goals; 15/16 37games 9 goals. Again I am not saying he is a bad player, I am only questioning the price of one good season?

No different to Wood really who we sold for 15m last year. Both internationals, similar age just months apart, similar goalscoring record although Wood has more but Vydra more a number 10. In today's market with the opportunity to tie him to a 4 year deal 12m about right. Wouldn't want to pay more though. If Derby turn down 12m, let them find a higher bidder. Wish we'd get Abel as well. He's an out and out striker and just what we need.

Yes we need a new striker the only thing I think so far is that 13mil is a hell of a lot on one player. Surely there are more hot strikers out there if you are starting to talk in 8 figures. I haven't looked but what is happening with the top goalscorers in Leagues 1 and 2 in Scandinavia, Holland, Eastern Europe even Africa and S. America come into the reckoning.

Probably are but have forgot the hot strikers Orta brought in last season.

Not saying Lewis Baker is not a good player but has the great man decided that most of our midfielders are just not up to it? I am waiting to hear of a ball playing CB being chased and I must say I am getting a bit fed up of some of the figures bandied about for Vydra. There must be quite a few at Thorpe Arch wondering what there next move will be?

Apparently some deals are in place but won't be announced till 1st July due to FFP, as for midfielders linked I'm all for someone replacing Phillips and O'kane who are not good enough to take this club up they've had there chances OK Phillips chips in with a goal now and then but does little else.

Agree5 Disagree0

29 Jun 2018 16:42:35
Okannot surely history. Phillips will be back up to a new midfield 3 of Forshaw Vieira and looking like Baker. Not a bad central 3. Alioski and Ayling will take up wing back roles I'm assuming.

Doesn't Hernandez's deal with Hull officially end on 30th June? If we don't hear anything more on him by Monday can we assume that he isn't signing for us?

Paudie O'Connor signs new contract

Thank god for that!

Good news about the new deal. I worry that we may waste young talent if we overlook them and pay good money for new recruits when we have the likes of O'Connor and Shaugnessy already on the books. I hope Bielsa does not just want to recruit new faces so that he can build "his team" to the detriment of some of our young guns. Anyone sent on loan should be only done so to improve them and get them instant game time. They should not be parked in a backwater with their wages off the books. Too many times I have seen young talent lost then gone on to bigger better things.
