Kevin Danois

Sounds exactly what we need. Lerma, Hughes, Doucoure and Ozoh have their strengths but the attacking threat Wharton and Kamada have (even if they don’t score either) they do not have.
If we get Danois over the line - suspect Hughes and Ozoh will be surplus to requirements and be sold/loaned out.

Will leave us with Wharton, Kamada, Docoure and Damois in CDM - with Lerma as cover for CB and CDM.

We don’t need 6 players to cover 2 positions.

But would be a huge upgrade on last seasons squad..!!

Ridiculous take in my opinion. After a good rest over summer, Hughes will be back to his barnstorming best and should be retained alongside Wharton until Doucoure gets up to speed.

Keem to add more quality though for sure.
 
I know you don’t like it mate.
But I suspect that Wharton and KAMADA will start all of the important games when they are both fit and rightly so.
Decoure was decent 3 years ago (so was Brenan Johnson) and Hughes was ok, but looked like age had caught up with him last year. Surprised West Ham never came in for Hughes. Just what they need and he would be a main player in the championship.

Is Keem another player we are interested in? Never heard of him 😉

Maybe be hughes wants to stay even from the bench. He has shown passion in one game that some won’t show their whole career 👌
 
If we get him over the line, that seems like business done?

However, that is a lot of players to bed in (as well as the new coaching team).

Patience may be a critical factor this season.

BTW, is he not more DM than AM?

And at 22 with Ligue 1 and France U21 experience under his belt, he is not "one for the future", he will play.

Thing is really we have 4 players there. Doucoure is a massive unknown quantity now but I would be very surprised if we see much of him this side or Xmas. We certainly can’t rely on him given the situation. Ozoh is currently a fringe player with almost no experience at this level and certainly no track record. We badly need depth in midfield
 
We have to have a minimum of 8 home grown players over 21 in the 25 man squad. With JRS going and Joe Whitworth probably going on loan again we will be very tight on the limit. I don’t see Hughes going at the moment.

There has also been a presumption that Kamada will pick up where he left off. He has started both seasons pretty poorly and this year has had a WC campaign and turns 30 in a couple of weeks
