Very tall and aggressive and on a free this summer. Completely agree, not sure if he had been mentioned before. He reminds me of Aden Flint at Brizzle.

I watched most of the Scunny v Plymouth game the other night and it showed Neil Harris and Nigel Clough in the crowd and they speculated on who they were watching..............seemed to be down to Carey , Toney , Adelakun or Bradley. Bradley has a similar build to Flint / Van Aken but a tad more aggressive than the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Share your sentiments mate but it's pretty clear we are really skint. While didn't stop Cardiff , Blades etc we must get top scouting help in to get us anywhere near top 6.

As soon as he went to Swansea scouts started tuurning up at games from swansea. if you look back through previous reports it said in one of them that probably a contract with Agency to scout until end of season. in this report it indicated it may be people using our club name to get free tickets to game. I sytill stick with original comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be a limited footballer compared to VA but we seemed to want the complete package last summer and the only option was to buy potential. But I think aggression is something you can’t really teach either. With the exception of Lees we are far too soft and it costs us against the sides at the bottom. Wilbraham climbing all over Venancio to score for Bolton was an example. Edited May 3, 2018 by Bluesteel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but it seemed odd that we went for him when Carlos rattled off the description of what he wanted ie someone who could play football, win headers and cope 1 vs 1.

Birley Owl 1867 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Surely there's a few decent youngsters at Dutch and German clubs who'd.be good enough and perhaps we are looking at. Fabian Benko at Bayern for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Reachs left peg Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Still rate Sammy ameobi at Bolton on a free quick and has pace ideal replacement for Wallace, fits into jos plan of up and coming players think he only 25 still has his best years ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quist Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Jos has given a clear indication of the players he his looking for. Aged 18-22 in the Championship or premier League u/23 teams. Rather than someone who does not fit this profile who or what are available in this range and could we possibly get to Hillsborough for next season/ I have had a quick look and came up with the following. Matt Target Southampton Left Back Toisin Adarabioyo Manchester City Cebtre half Rthan Adampa Chelsea Defender multi purpose and also defensive midfield. love to hear anyone elses thoughts on likely candidates sure somebody will get one right.

If we're going to play a system with wingers I could see us going in for Ryan Kent at Liverpool. Disappointing loan at Bristol City this season but reckon we might take a chance on him. Obviously if we're sticking with the 352 there's not much point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think ryan Kent is good call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulcinella Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 That was a great end to the season. Gives me a lot of confidence for the next one. Whilst I love signing new players, the priority has to be Venancio and Nuhiu - two players who couldn’t get a look in 6 months ago. Strange times. if we can get both signed then we’re in the luxury position of being able to think more broadly as to whether or which position to boost. Probably left back. But going into the closed season, this is the strongest I think we’ve been for many a year. And it’s all down to finally having a manager who gets the best out of players we had previously thought not good enough. I’m genuinely excited for next season. And it all because of a great signing we got 6 months ago - Jos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
