If we had signed McGoldrick after he left Ipswich what would you of said? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On mcgoldrick, I can't remember this place being up in arms when utd signed him after a trial when he was released by Ipswich who went on to be bottom league. Turned out to be signing of the summer. Exactly, McGoldrick and Sharp gave them an extremely mobile front two, a far cry from the static pairing of Fletcher and Rhodes, who many are pinning their hopes on.

You don’t have to be lightning quick, a bit of pace, and good movement is what’s required. McGoldrick and Sharp gave them that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 When you look at teams that we've been competing with for a few years, Derby, Middlesbrough etc. They haven't made any signings of note. Obviously ffp has caught up with a lot of teams now. Overall across the Championship theres been an estimated £168M players sold and only £77M spent. Last year there was £274M players sold and £156M spent by Championship teams. The market has slowed down a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Task Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 How many times has Marshall been in squads that won promotion from this league? 3? Leicester, Wolves and Norwich? He might not improve the 1st 11 but we hardly have a load of wingers, he has a different skill set to anyone else at the club, he’s versatile, experienced and a good age. Can’t see much wrong with offering him a 1 or 2 year deal as long as we aren’t relying on him too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even they’ve lost some key players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher certainly isn't static. Who should we sign instead of Marshall? Would signing him that bad a thing with our current squad layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharp has great work-rate and real strikers instinct right place right time. McGoldrick drops short to link play like Hooper. Neither are quick. They're strong as a pair, a greater sum of their individual parts. If we had either, you'd say too old and too slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly I’d be happier to see a Joao/Forestieri pairing, than a Fletcher/Rhodes pairing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they'd be competing for the same starting berth. Fletcher has the edge, for me, because he grafts and has some fight in him. If no-one stumps up for Rhodes, he must buck up and get stuck in. I don't like his demeanour at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we will go with a front three of Reach Fletcher and Harris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulture_squadron Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Had no idea about Marshall and his problems off the pitch. Would explain why he's drifted about. Looked class here and then at Leicester but he seems to have been given the boot a few times. Still, on a free... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's give him a couple of minutes in the first game of the season before we get on his case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's nothing special now and it seems like he has problems that he needs to address. Do we need the baggage? The suggestion that Bullen would go for him concerns me.

Get Bannan higher up to supply them and I think that three will surprise you this season. Especially Fletcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
