IMO ashley Williams is the opposite to the type of player we should be signing. Old, would want a big wage and 2 year contract, and is error prone.

Southie_Owl Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 WBA signing Adarabioyo and Bartley is more impressive. We really are inferior to a lot of teams this time round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His quality will show at this level. On a season loan, he will strengthen their cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 It’s good that we have so many academy youngsters in and around the squad, but how many of them address areas where we are lacking? They should bring energy certainly, but do any of them have the pace and power we are lacking? Are any of the defenders, the robust, dominant in the air, centre back we need? From what I’ve seen, none of them really address those issues I think all supporters like the idea of a squad full of ex academy youngsters, but they have to improve the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong, I’d rather us have promising youngsters padding out the squad We didn’t need such a large squad, and certainly not one with so many experienced back up players However, it’s clear that we still have the shortcomings that have let us down previously That those have not been addressed in recent seasons, despite spending millions, is scandalous This could be addressed right now, through loans if necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Why aren’t we getting some of our youngsters out on loan? Most Championship clubs have been sending out youngsters to get league experience, I believe Utd have 11 out Alright, it won’t shave much off the wages bill (though every little helps) but it will give them much needed experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing you have to admit about the pigs is their youngsters are often youth international players. We don’t tend to have a lot of those, and one that we did jumped ship as soon as his contract expired.
