If so I like it Very, very unsettling, us going about a pre-season sensibly for a change. World probably ends next month! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maguire is different though as he supported Wednesday first and was supposedly a season ticket holder and went to games with his family when he was a kid/teenager. He was in United's Youth and made his breakthrough with them. In one of the past few games between us at Hillsborough is was in with the United fans and he has said he supports both I think. Jamie Vardy has questioned him on this and his allegiance several times too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did go to Hillsborough until he broke into the team, was a season ticket holder, don't know if he has swapped back now he isn't with them, but Vardy has said he has told him he has to choose and that he cant support both teams 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EFL is clearly going to be leaning over Chansiri's shoulder for the foreseeable future, making sure he does his job right. Which can only be a good thing. Far less leaning in this division.

ponym110 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 It'll be interesting to see whether we cash in on Bannan and Windass. Personally think the two of them could have an outstanding season at this level with the right players around them but money talks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 After being a bit England focussed for a few weeks it’s nice to actually see that our manager is stating glaringly obvious things and trying to address shortcomings that literally everyone can see! The striker is going to be the key position of course. In Moore’s favoured formation the player leading the line is absolutely key. In L1 fast wingers and a brute up front are the tried and tested formula. As of yet I haven’t seen us linked with anyone for the main striker position and we need two of the bûggers! Fingers crossed Moore has gone public with that list because that’s what he’s got lined up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swfcGibbo Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 The Loan/free market has been ripe for a number of years now but this has become more prominent since Covid. There's some real talent available for next to nothing. The two signings thus far have been very refreshing. We have a manager who players want to play for. The Christians In Football link seems to be a weapon in our arsenal id have never expected. To attract such talent after the wages shambles is the testament to the man we have in charge. We need a proper striker option as well as a couple more wingers/wide attackers and then the other obvious positions. Here's to hoping this is the great 'reset' we needed after our 3-4 years of unnecessary spending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect we could end up with the lad Moore had at Donny Fejiri Okenabirhie not sure if he has signed a new deal with Donny yet got 11 in 37 games last season though after Moore left Donny tailed off after challenging for the play offs. Pigott from ACF Wimbledon has not signed for anyone yet, I heard rumours he was off to Watford but then they got promoted I have not heard if he signed for any one, he got 20 goals in 45 games last season, he's averaged about 1 in 3 in his 140 odd games in league one with Wimbledon and his goals have kept them in the division for the last 3 seasons, he would be the perfect striker for us and currently is a free agent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love Pigott but suspect he’s got his eyes on a Championship club. Hopefully he can’t get one lined up and comes to us. He’d be perfect as you say. Okenabirhie seems to have a year left on his deal so guess we’d have to pay a fee which just doesn’t feel likely but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgund Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 This is at the stage now where on your football manager save you pull your chair up to your desk and you stare at the player search screen for at least two or three hours before even thinking about pressing continue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windass and Patterson are more like attacking midfielders / wingers / #10’s it’s more likely I think he will bring a goal scorer in and move Windass to the wing and Patterson Playing number to supporting.

Think Ipswich will do very well this season. Typical of us to end up here again with a few sides that could do well. Doesn't always work like that though does it?

As mentioned by other posters he signed for Ipswich probably 6 hours after my post! Ipswich are definitely going to be making a big old push to get back to the Championship this season. 8 signings so far… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shezzas left peg Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 On 11/07/2021 at 14:47, room0035 said: We should be signing the many free agents out there. loans should be a last case scenario. All a loan does is allow us to develop someones players then at the end of the season we release our younger players, not giving them the same chances, we do to other teams young players on loan. We can bring in a few loans but we have a chance to develop a squad of players over the next few seasons, come the first game of the season i dont want a match day squad with 5 loan players in. 1 or 2 is fine as long as we cannot sign a free agent or dont have players for that role. Exactly its something we've done always done really badly at. We need to learn to develop younger players, getting games out of them and selling for s profit. It's the best way to get around ffp, sell a few every season and bring more through the next. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. another good free agent that has gone elsewhere while we dither around in the transfer market. A proven league one striker who got 20 goals last season. We need to get our arses into gear and get the players signed before we are left with the dross, or the over priced loan market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
