I wonder if any Omari to Brentford deal could see Carvalho coming the other way on loan? They paid a lot for him last summer but he didn’t get too many minutes, then got injured IIRC. Proven at this level and you would assume he’s only going to be a better / more developed player now after a year under Frank than he was at Hull.
Presumably a player we would fancy for that central 10 role, will know Greaves & Philogene already. I guess it would depend on whether Brentford see him as part of their plans this season, no idea what Andrews makes of him.
I’m wondering if a loan for him might form part of the negotiation? He’d be a hell of a signing. |  | | |  |

No disputing his quality but I think in our system he’s a square peg in a round hole. Do we even play with a central 10? Not sure do that much. More when we get on the front foot we play a left and a right 10. We’re so well stocked with left 10’s and McKenna likes his right 10’s left footed a la Omari and Chaplin. |  | | |

We need to cut the squad down, not add more! |  | | |

Agreed we certainly aren’t short of options on the left with Clarke, Szmodics, Broadhead.
Compared to the squad that finished the season we’re an Enciso and a Hutchinson down (assuming he does go) though, so I’d wager we’ll recruit there and reckon he’s one McKenna likes, we seemed to have a bit of a stiffy over that Hull side. Not dissimilar to Enciso actually, and he’s right footed.
Getting him out of Brentford is more likely to be the difficulty I imagine given they paid the best part of £30m for him 12 months ago. | | | |

Enciso was a bit out of character for McKenna - a total maverick, outrageous talent. Maybe Carvalho can be the same but just don’t see him having tonnes of Omari qualities.
Edit I’m probably being fussy. We’re not getting a copy of Omari probably. Not easy to fine.
I’ll be aroused about Carvalho if we get him [Post edited 20 Jul 19:47]

That squad that finished the season was down by two long-term absentees in Ogbene and Burns though, so you could argue we have the same numbers now (or will when Burns is back).
Personally, I think we've got enough Championship killer players in those supporting striker roles, and anyone coming in would put the likes of Broadhead and possibly Clarke or Philogene into a potentially unhappy situation. Caveat though, is that if we can get more muscular/bigger versions of ne or two of them in, it's worth doing so with one eye on the future. So one in one out there for me at the moment. |  |

Carvalho is a massive upgrade to Chaplin
He’s an outstanding player | | | |

This is my thoughts too.
We've got loads of options for those 3 AM positions, and getting anyone else in probably means some of those leaving, and I think we want to keep all of them. |  |

I had thought of that, but I also think that strategically we don’t just want to use a loan slot to be polishing a player for someone else with no chance of picking him up at a decent value - we would want a “if we go up he is ours for 20m” clause and Brentford would not do that with a player they spent 30m on, would they? They are not Manchester United!
In any event, it seems to have gone very quiet on the Omari front…. (Yet more wishful thinking) | | | |

I think there’s a pretty obvious candidate for the first one out and it’ll be very unpopular in Broadhead. Just with the depth we have for his role combined with his contract running down it’s hard to see him signing a new deal, if we have him this season I’d bet it will be his last and he’ll leave for nothing. We’d be better balanced with an Omari clone instead of Broadhead. | | | |

A great player but can’t see it. I think we need to spend that sort of money and effort on a similar 9 or cm though. |  |

He played 19 games for them last season, I think we're barking at the moon here folks. Think he'd be great though. |  | | |

I don’t think many of them were starts though, he was rumoured to be pretty p1ssed at his lack of game time.
Don’t disagree though tbh, it’s a bit fanciful. Just put 2 and 2 together with the Omari deal and possibly landed on 254 | | | |

Seen someone mention Troy parrott. Having looked up his Dutch stats he’s actually a shout. | |

Wouldn't surprise me if Carvalho was eased in last season, as well as missing the back third through injury. Would surprise me if he's prepared to be a makeweight for this transfer aha but I'd be here for it! | | | |

Mentioned him last few windows but think we have probably missed the boat. He'd be ideal now. | |

Doubt he is the type of personality that would 'lower' himself in the Championship again after spells at Fulham, Liverpool, Leipzig and Brentford at a higher level.
I would think he is looking at top flight football not second tier which could permanently stall his career. |  |

He’s quality. They’ve sold half their best players, so he’ll be staying …, if they wanted him away in the position they are in (likely closer to relegation than ever) they’d sell him, and we don’t have that sort of money, certainly for that area of the pitch.
We have a bakers dozen for those roles…, and ONE player for the crucial double pivot.
Wouldn’t be shocked though…, McKenna does seem to love a lightweight tricky player, less so someone in the engine room.
We look powder puff these days.., if that continues, it could be a tough season.
Sam and Tuenzabe were a real presence - Kipre is physical, but we certainly need more that type than we do another option to add to Ogbenne. burns, Chaplin, Sammie, Broadhead, Clarke, Philogene and even Taylor and Humphreys would be better in the 10 than the 6.
We seem to have a couple of cracking options to play an 8 …, a role we never play.
I’ve never seen our squad so unbalanced.
Hopefully not the case come August.
But no money for wide players, unless we maybe move another out.
Two CDMs and one Striker or two. And a couple more to leave. Jack Clarke will get a consistent run in the team, if he’s still here.
We’ve £100 million to raise, so maybe one or two more out after Omari. | | | |
