Someone talented and good enough to build long term future around. Signing that could prove to be as far sighted as those of Glenn Whelan and Chris Brunt. Turned down long term contract from Fulham in order to play regular first team football. Great shout, really surprised he's not accepted a contract somewhere yet, you'd have assumed there would be decent interest in him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look I'll eat my hat if it ever happened but we haven't a snowball's chance in... in my opinion. I accept its unlikely but no reason why we should not try. We have been one of the few Championship clubs buying players this summer. Ijust donot think geography is a reason wewould not ge thim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to assume they'll want to send him to a Brentford or someone not battling relegation all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are fair few clubs interested in him, guess he is biding his time and not rushing what could be most important decision in his career.

gurujuan Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 As I mentioned earlier, we need to add quality to our starting eleven, if we want to improve on last season. We’ve done that with Brown, but not really elsewhere. The two areas where we can definitely improve on the current options, are at wing back, both sides, and by bringing in a new strike pairing. Those are the areas we need to concentrate on. If we can bring in more than 4 players, by all means look at a keeper, or a centre back, in some midfield back up, but if funds are limited, FFS let’s concentrate on where improvements are most needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re not gonna sign 2 more strikers. We’ve signed 3 already. Windass & Paterson will feature prominently, and if we manage to get Zohore that may squeeze Rhodes out. That’ll probably be it up top. Yes, we need another winger/wing-back. If we don’t replace Murphy then we’ll struggle. I think we’ll sign 1 striker, 1 winger/wing-back, and 1 defender. Camp primed in case Westwood departs or Wildsmith goes on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money is tight and we started on -12. Only so much can be done this time. Personally, I think we’ve done alright if we strengthen those 3 areas.

Next summer Bannan oddjob Palmer harris reach Rhodes pelepoop van aken Penney lees Westwood all out of contract that’s when another big turnover will happen? Agree think we Might have been able to get better than what we have atm but none of us realise just how hard it will be to attract players here atm? With all of the above we have a manager with not the best track record and a owner who well is........ prob known for being a bit erratic?

And I’m no particular monk lover either I’m a bit concerned that we’ve signed a few that we will be in the same boat with, ie waiting for their contracts to run down Its not really clear how we’ve actually improved on what we had last season.

Think it’s really hard market atm? Only positive we have with the players signed is they’ll play more than those who have gone? Injury wise and apart from brown yep they not much better quality wise? I know you don’t fancy flint but I’d not turn my nose up if he did arrive just need quality up other end???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
