Guest domSWFC Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Maybe we could poach a couple of players from Newcastle whilst their management are distracted by the cricket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McEachran would have played second fiddle to Bannan. He's our goto technical mid. Use Kieran Lee as cover. We need someone 6'2", athletic, with drive and presence. Don't sign players in duplicate or triplicate when there are qualities we don't have in that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally think on a free McEachran would have been decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 If we can only afford to sign, say, one more player this window, you would not choose McEachran. We need something different to "a decent player but more of the same". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnishOwl Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Our owner thinks "family first", it comes from his culture. I think that either we already have the manager just waiting for DC to get back to the UK to finalize the contract, or he thinks that the current candidates are not what he wants and is prepared to wait. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait for who? So we wait for a manager to get the sack which is unlikely to happen for at least 10+ games into the season. Which means a quarter of the season is over, in the mean tine we just drift. Then the rest of the season for the new man to say i cant change thing over night conclusion season over. Season ticket money well spent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnishOwl Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Because of all the financial crap, I've never felt that this is the season when we rise from the ashes. The rebuilding process just started July 1st and it takes a while to find all the right pieces in the puzzle, it's already hard without someone telling you that you cannot use any money. I'm not in panic mode because the fact is that Bullen knows the players very well. He may not be a great manager but he'll survive nevertheless. We have new, fresh players in the squad which is a big plus. They don't need SB, we don't need SB. I'd rather wait a while for the right person than just grab someone and say that here's our new manager, please try to work with him. We know that DC does not sack managers easily so better wait for someone who is willing to come and stay here. This transfer window has been lost for a while already. January is the bigger one in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
