I’m not so sure the Chairman is that enthusiastic to do the deal? Let’s face it, would you be given how average he was last season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A central midfield ball winner, a left back, and 2 strikers. Did Gary Monk and Gary Rowett get their shopping lists mixed up. DC certainly did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, makes me feel better about our pulling power if this is true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ideal to have a lack of training time but just have to hope we are trying to sign decent players. Please Lordy lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a little disappointing, but I guess we have our own valuation Sometimes though, when you’re talking potential, you might have to pay a little over the odds. That’s the difference between Windass and Leko, both had a similar goals return at this level, but only one is likely to improve. That’s perhaps the subtlety that DC needs to get his head around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendoddsdadsdogsdead Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Don't know what everyone is worrying about. Clearly, the recruitment has been aimed at playmaker, who will set up Rhodes, who will bang in 35 plus goals this season. Simple policy, cant believe you lot fail to see it !!! No, I'm ok nurse, not the suppository again.... On 22/08/2020 at 10:01, A12owl said: I knew that would appear sometime. I must have been asleep for a couple of days when the announcement was made.

So now Coventry have better strikers than us. really disappointing that. Think he would have been exactly the type of player to take a chance on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full fathom five Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 2 hours ago, sonofbert2 said: They do for now but Chelsea have at least 8 players currently in isolation, there are 5 England players currently positive and we’re still in August with no games. What happens if it spikes later in the year, no crowd income which really impacts below the Premier League and huge swathes of squads in isolation forcing postponements etc? Surely they will either have to extend the window or allow emergency transfers just to keep things going? Clubs will go under and lower leagues could quite possibly collapse with only the big boys getting the big money surviving. This could be a very, very strange season ahead. Covid to save Monk's job again, i hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Wigan in the last few weeks have sold quite a few players. None seem as complicated as the deal we are trying to do! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 So, we walked away from Simmonds over wage demands. We pulled out of Leko deal over fee. We're haggling over 450k for Windass. I'm not sure how we're gonna bolster our attacking options if we're looking at strikers we don't perceive to be good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

full fathom five Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Look on the brightside, once Monk is sacked we will still have room in the squad for our new manager to bring some strikers in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that we start the season next week with Rhodes as our only out and out striker between the senior squad and U23s, AND he only scored three last season. It’s beyond worrying Not that I’d turn my nose up, as I didn’t think that in our position we should be getting rid anyway, but I really think we’re gonna end up with Nuhiu back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) There have been some good signings by championship clubs this season, including by us, so it’s good that there appears to be plenty of talent available Edited August 28, 2020 by gurujuan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
