We have 4 options in that berth and we are likely only to play only one so why look for another. Weve been down this road before going after players we don’t need. Can we just focus on players we do need for a change? Completely agree - if we wan likes of Jaoa to sign new deal or stay cant be buying / loaning fisrst team striker / forward number 8.

All three bring something different, and all are technically good As is Hopper of course It's no surprise that we are prepared to offload Winnall and Rhodes, neither of whom are good on the ball We have to careful with our signings, not just value for money, but do they fit the way we play What signings? it aint happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be at their cost. Depends what position really, I don’t think we have a ready made cdm or left sided player that could step up yet. I still think some of our centre halves may be better with a loan themselves too. Fraser Preston looks decent though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) Have to admit I feel a little sorry for Jos with the lack of backing he has received so far in the transfer window. Really is going to need a massive amount of luck with injuries because I fear we don’t have enough quality in depth if key players are ruled out. Good luck Jos, would love him to have us challenging for the top 6 but I have a horrible feeling that he won’t see the year out.

I'm thinking quite the opposite - he may get more time because of cash constraints and benefit by being able to bed in a few of the U23 lads again this season. Always hopeful at the beginning of season, takes me til at least December to give up hope! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I’m not totally convinced Jos would be out there signing players even if he could, he’s made it well known the squad is too big and you could argue he’s had Fletcher and Matias back in training who may aswell be new signings for him, Van Aken was out a long time , Hoops and Lee will definitely be new signings to him, he only started working with Fessi towards the end of the season Abdi ? Who knows , is he fit ? Can he play ? One thing for sure is he’s got the potential He’s on record as rating the young lads very highly and he definitely doesn’t seem like a manager scared of playing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we struggle and we are in FFP, no way will be sacking him...anyway I m optimistic he will do well. If he can get the best out of the squad no way will we struggle.

But don’t know how close they are to being good enough for the first team. Hunt is highly rated but I admit I haven’t seen him play. He’s only young (16?) and a little light, so I think we need a ball winner for when Hutchinson is injured. Agree on penny, think he could be worth a shot if Ash Baker is. But we generally lack real pace and I think the only way we will add any this summer will be on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I’ve always thought when Fletcher is fit he would be a big part of Luhukays plans, maybe this is why nothing came of the panathinaikos link and a hint towards jos actually been in charge of who stays and who comes in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
