Every club is just a steppingstone for players wanting to reach the top, and if you manage to get players that don’t see your club as a steppingstone, you’re probably recruiting the wrong players. Very good points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now your changing it to if Swansea want him. They want him that much that they are about to pay Mk Dons compo for Russell Martin. What? Wilder wants the job. That is a given. It's exactly what I said yesterday. Swansea will give him the job soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I also associate our mental weaknesses with him. He has got used to losing and IMO, he doesn’t fight enough for a result. We and he need a new start. I think it can be recovered, but I would like to see him start on the bench and build back his hunger, desire and confidence on the training field. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Task Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 We need 2 players for every position and probably want to get Galvin out on loan… It’s not glamorous or exciting but we could do with another left back really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Apparently Jerome Opoku from Fulham has gone to a Danish club on loan. Thought he might’ve been a good fit for us, left footed centre half who can play left back as well - two positions where we could use an extra player, but we don’t necessarily need another centre half and another left back, would be handy to sign someone who can do both 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are finding young undervalued players with plenty of room for improvement all the time, and we’re employing good coaches with proven ability to play the style of football we’ve recruited for, as well as a record of developing players. whilst the players will inevitably be sold at some point if the do indeed realise their undoubted potential, as long as we reap the rewards on the pitch before they are sold we’ll be fine and continue to move forward as a club, because the people behind their recruitment in the first place, will continue to keep recruiting in the same manor. You've done very well with your recruitment. I don't know anything about your coaches so I can't comment. Good luck for the season ahead. I don't see you as rivals to us despite you being 'local'. Our rivalry is the other side of the city not the small towns in the area. Edited July 31, 2021 by prowl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodin and James money over £30m from last season swallowed up by debts and American owners, Cooper walked cos he was told he has to sell Grimes to cover operating losses for this year and parachute payments have stopped.

Odds do matter, Russell Martin is 1/16 on this morning for a reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splan80 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I like what we've done this window after a slow start and the restrictions we are in. We've kept enough with experience to help the new signings who in turn offer athleticism and a want to prove and progress. I'd like to see a squad that cna cope with injuries and suspensions without being cut to the bare bones. I completely agree in wanting to get some of our existing youngsters our on loan. We've been guilty of not helping them develop in that manner of late, so if we do I'd imagine we could still look for 4/5 signings to make us complete. For me I'd want cover at CB (but maybe go back for someone like Bola who would be able to accept that role), LB as I think Palmer could be asked to cover all across the back line, so could do with another fullback to help with that. With this in mind and having a squad to cope, I'd want Johnson as he can cover/play on wing too, or be a very attacking fullback where we need in games. I get call for ogilive and that'd be totally fine. Further up another CM would be good if we sees outgoing loans. We need to learn to play without bannan, as teams will gang up on him and that was our downfall in many games last year. Everything had to go through bannan, so having additional options is a must especially if playing with a 3 and luongo having previous injury concerns. Whether that is Byers will leave that to DM. A winger would be good too, so signing Sims would be good business. Though if ogilive is the LB option for me it would be Sims or Johnson. I do think up top we need 1 more body. As really we only have the new guy and Paterson, with windass being injured. I can see Green & the Everton lad up there if no other signing, but if budget can stretch I would try for one. I'd like Ellis Simms or would try for Hudlin from Solihull. That is a big ask and don't expect all that, but if those positions are covered in some form then I think we can all be more positive about the direction we are aiming for. If it's a concern about cash, then if bannan were to go, it could very well pay for 3 of them too. All if buts and maybes of course, but I'm more positive in DMs signings than last few windows. There is a direction, a plan, a balance. Its been a long time since we've seen that! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how much ground work you do or how many scouting hours you put in there are so many variables when signing players that in best case scenario you are making educated guess. When you are looking to sign young player with little or no first team experience it gets even harder. For me it looks like you are doing good job, long may it continue. Despite our rivalry I like to see you do well as you are doing smart job on terms you can afford, and in today's football when even Championship clubs are throwing around crazy money it must be appreciated. Btw. I believe that Burnley brought in on free superior player before they decided to sell you Benson. But it is perk of been Premier League club and nothing to do about it.
