We need a tall dominant no-nonsense, good in the air captain type.................and have needed one for TWO AND A HALF YEARS NOW ! If the back comes back I'd have been more than happy with Lees flanked by Sasso and Venancio. These big no nonsense types.l ike the two that Brentford have sold in the last 12 months for £2m and £4m . While were looking at 200 other blokes all over the world...

adelphi1867 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Probably from Germany, they seem to be cheap enough. Maybe that fella Hudds had in their promotion year?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camffiti Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 ITFC were hoping to sign Tilt & / or Carter-Vickers this week, but now face competition from other Championship clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 We’ve been clear of the embargo since last Thursday Fair enough, the cup tie came too early, but we really need to have a few new faces available for the Millwall game We surely didn’t wait for the embargo to be lifted, before starting the process?

DJMortimer Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Just because the embargo has been lifted doesn't mean we are suddenly flush with cash to bring in several loanees. And if you think that situation is bad now, just wait until next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be a shocker before then, in January if we aren’t in with an outside chance of promotion If we aren’t, there will be a fire sale of our better players, and unless we have a big enough cushion, we’ll almost certainly be relegated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 We have been in need of a CB for best part of three years, Then Fred started to improve just as Tom started to deteriorate. Then we didn't sign Fred. By my reckoning we now need two CB's and sharpish ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some bizarre reason we fizz about looking all over the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 You’d have hoped that having known we needed an EXPERIENCED centre back after releasing Venancio and Loovens, and also knowing the embargo, not shared with us until recently was ending, we’d have someone lined up and ready to go. Is how it works at well run clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hack-Abusi Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 8 hours ago, Lord Snooty said: Centre back (a permanent one) has been a must for nearly 3 years. Our reluctance to sign up Sasso and latterly (for whatever reason Venancio) showed incredible short term thinking. Luckily we have some decent youth players coming through in that area. However the environment must be right in which they learn their trade. Another couple of defeats and I fear it won't be a forgiving place to be getting your stripes. Christ .. i can't believe with the riches we had 3 years ago that we would be desperately searching the loan and free transfer market to bolster our already neglected and underprepared back line absolute criminal .. you look back and think, imagine .. just imagine if we had both Sasso on and Venancio on the books full time ... them 2 and Lees in a back 3 would be superb ..
