S36 OWL Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Im starting to think we would be better spending money on Winnall and Hoorahine from the Dingles rather than Rhodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thekimmyowl Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I think get Winnal in and soften the blow with LJ on loan till the end of the season, good deal all round but figure nearer the million mark if anyone thinks Dave is decent back up then I guess mid table championship football is about our lot. id love to take a gamble on pinching judge before he gets up to speed and the price gets hiked up again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 9 minutes ago, Lincs Owl said: Yet another ex scunny striker. Steve McLean, Gary hooper. Cheaper to find out who scouts centre forwards for scunny. They've had loads decent forwards over years. We rarely find any. Back in the day they discovered Barry Thomas and Kevin Keegan. They keep finding them, selling them, and finding others. Billy sharp is another. Don't we scout school kids? Too true. They went through a spell of selling a centre forward every summer for wads and getting a replacement in for peanuts who carried on where their predessors left off, banging them in for fun. McLean, Keogh, Sharp, Hayes, Patterson, Hooper, off the top of my head. Their striking scout is certainly worth his weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a bit like Peterborough in that respect, other clubs will ponder a player for ages, but Scunny and Peterborough take a chance where others hesitate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can it really constitute a "chance" when the lad is sixth top scorer in this league and has on his own scored more than a third of the goals we as a team have managed in that time?

Brando17 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 2 hours ago, gurujuan said: Well he might be better, though that's debatable, but why do we need to add yet another player who isn't good enough to get into the starting eleven. He's only ever scored eleven goals at this level, so he's hardly a sure fire winner would swap both for Winnall and drive them there,they are awful get rid soon as!!!!!

Well that's where the gamble is relative isn't it. Scunny gamble on players from the 4th division and non league. They have a lower budget. We gamble on a player from our own division in fine form and we have more coin than then to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodgybysea Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Good job we got Adam Reach when we did,no matter what price with Pudil and that other fella being injured we 'd have been without a leftback for half the season up to now,Oh hang on ,we could have gone and asked Jeremy to help us out,he's still signed on isn't he. God there's some bright lads on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhopping Owl Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Would be much happier with him than Ward and £500,000 is an absolute steal. Excellent value deal, really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 2.5m for Nugent, 11m for Lookman and 4m for Bree puts it into a bit of context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not_Hemsworth-Tyke Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Evening guys, first off there is no point signing Winnall without signing Hourihane, and that is unlikely. As some of you have alluded to, Winnall is a finisher, he feeds off exceptional service provided mostly by Hourihane, he rarely creates chances, and his biggest problem is picking up the ball deep, he is poor on the ball, though he is a grafter. If you do buy him you are paying for his goals, which aren't guaranteed in my opinion. Fortunately for us, we already have his replacement in Tom Bradshaw who i believe is the better all around player. Personally for me, anything above 500k is acceptable considering he hasn't signed a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Reach, he has the abilities to become a £5m player but consistency, stamina & concentration need to improve somewhat before our reported £5m outlay looks nothing more than an expensive gamble.
