IstillhateSteveBould Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I’d rather keep Nuhiu than sign Martin 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 For me, it’s a no for Martin and Windass, but I’d be happy with all the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Martin fits the “young and dynamic” targets he referred to. Good player, complete poo house.

We have that already, Palmer, Lees, Iorfa, Borner, Bannan, Luongo, Pelupessy, Reach, Harris and Rhodes. How much experience does he want? I’m really hoping his comments on recruitment, aren’t just appeasing words 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, they may be even better for us in league 1. Obviously I hope we don’t have to test that theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneeyedmilkman Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) Having young hungry kids is absolutely the way we need to go, but equally we need different options in the squad. Chris martin is what he is. A bit of a poo house who winds up opponents, get stuck in with the hustle and bustle and wins cheap free kicks. Hed be an upgrade on nuhiu. Doesnt necessarily have to be martin, but we certainly need someone who can play that role. Edited June 27, 2020 by oneeyedmilkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purism and a dogmatic approach cost us promotion. The best teams can play football but also deal with the sh1th0uses. We lost or dropped to many of the sides at the bottom of the league 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather be able to play football at the right moment and in the right areas and be able to do the dirty work too. We saw signs of that when we were third in the league this season but it trailed off. We are a mishmash at the moment. We don’t have the funds to buy the best technicians across the pitch and that’s the only way would dominate from playing the kind of football you’re describing so we need to be pragmatic.

Jim Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 TBH I’ll believe this young dynamic approach when I see it. I think given the choice Monk will always go down the experience route as we’ll probably see in the run-in with only Urgohide and Hunt used unless we’re severely stretched with injuries?

I don’t really buy that, having a big lump up front would not have made much difference in season one In season two, we had Fletcher. The more we began to focus on hitting the big man, the less effective we were, and a noticeably harder watch. We have a decent technician in Bannan, and previously in Forestieri. If we need to supplement them, there are plenty of talented youngsters available for loan, all good technicians. In my opinion, it’s not about not having the players to play a more expansive game, it’s about a lack of desire to do it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 We have experience in the squad in Lees, Borner, Bannan, Rhodes and Reach so don’t need much more if we are to add youth to the squad. Being linked to the likes of Chris Martin disappoints me unless we get rid of Rhodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzieowl Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Wonder if eyes on Lyle Taylor now Fletch gone (people compared them to each other) although Taylor’s interview recently implied he thought could play higher... as in prem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I’m looking for us to go with young, hungry and motivated players. We need a change of policy. Don’t want us to go for Chris Martin. He’s a bell and 32. Not a good fit. We’ve had plenty of those over the last few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
