Barnsleyowl1996 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Another one gone then . Wonder how far we got with interest on Joseph . We really need to get a few in pronto . A couple more injuries and we really are in a bad position 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Tinman Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I fully agree with you Barnsleyowl , I think it's a case of save wages and get someone in last day of August, when it's a last minute scramble, and then a month to get up to speed , and how pathetic is it to lose out to Oxford 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph was not involved in Swansea’s League Cup clash with the U’s last night as Liam Cullen was handed the chance to impress in this particular fixture. Disappointed with this, right profile of player we should be looking for. A bit frustrated now, we need at least 2 new attacking players IMO. We've known that all summer and with a couple of weeks to go, no nearer getting players in it seems. Any player coming in now will need most of September to get 'volume', so that's a months worth of games missed. Our lack of forward options mirrors our defensive issues last season and will be the difference between promotion and play offs if we don't act. Cannot go through a whole season with just 3 attacking players (no, Paterson and Sow, while still on the payroll, are not and never will be centre forwards) Edited August 10, 2022 by striker 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top and bottom of it is Paterson and sow aren’t they strikers you want to be relying on to get us out of the division …. Well depends which way … 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrs Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Was there any evidence we were even in for Joseph? Maybe we sniffed around and decided he wasn’t good enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’d have been murders on here if we’d gone into the season with Adedoyin as one of our main options and yet he’s playing regularly at this level for Accrington and scored 3 in 7 starts. Very early days for him of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very early days for him of course. We could also add Devante Rodney to the list of former academy recruits who scored last night in the cup (for Rochdale) He's had a decent career in pro football since leaving us in January 2017, albeit at lower league level Other scorers last night included Chey Dunkley (with a late winner for Shrewsbury) and Elias Kachunga at Bolton ... but they don't count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls7 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I know it’s been said before but at this point in time George Hirst still hasn’t gone anywhere must be worth looking into if the chairman would allow it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hirst situation baffles me. I’d have thought top league one / lower championship sides would be queuing up to sign him on loan after the way he ended last season. Maybe Leicester have decided he’ll never be good enough for them and just want a permanent deal to get him off the books. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteOwl91 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Why does everyone think if a player has been linked and they sign elsewhere, it means weve 'lost out' Clubs put the feelers out on LOADS of players, giving them a plan A B C D etc, finding the best deals. Him signing for Oxford tells me our interest obviously wasnt that strong, so move on. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever it is it seems very unlikely he has a future there. A very successful championship loan is probably the only way he’d persuade them he’s worth keeping. I really liked what I saw of him last year but so long as we have Smith, Gregory and more importantly Chansiri at the club I can’t see us being interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
