Football fans are of course never happy with their team staying just as it is, but really we need better than Simms and BTA. If you could combine the physique of the former with the work rate of the latter…no upgrade needed
Two of those are on deals that make them almost impossible to shift. Who wants a crap goalie? Why should binks give up so much salary?
We haven't got the clout to sign Doyle , hes way out of our league currently
His reflexes are bit retarded!
I wouldn’t write either of those players off. Last season was quite low scoring compared to other seasons for strikers. The top scoring striker only scored 19 and after that was Sargent on 15 and like Haji, missed a lot of the season.
I think his lack of pace would put prem teams off, depends if he wants to stay in England.
Thing is we need a centre back with pace though
How much pace does Ballard have for instance?
True but think he’ll be caught out a bit in the prem
Don't they need an offer accepted before they can have talks??
Presently our GK role is similar to our striker role although it has changed with the signing of Rushworth. It was 1 very good GK and 1 very good striker. Both got injured. But we have so many goalscorers in the side we can just about get away with Wright getting injured. Our brilliant run last season was without Wright. But once Dovin got injured we went back to leaking goals again.
Wright is presently injured. He missed a big chunk of last season injured. We don't know if he is going to struggle for fitness this season.
Simms needs to be moved on asap. I'm struggling to see why anyone would take him for what we'd want though. Whether we can ship one of them out permanently will probably decide whether we move for a loan or perm striker ourselves but I'm almost certain we'll do something.
Some of your posts make good sense but then you have this line you always pedal which doesn't add up at all. You're happy to have a go at the wingers for some reason while throwing a protective blanket over the underperforming strikers, whilst also ignoring Wright could easily be classed as a LW and indeed got most of his goals from there.
We will get a striker and some people will be as disappointed as the Wilson fan club is about the new keeper.
Doesn't stop most other clubs. Most transfers now seem to be done player first then club
It’s about the eye test for both players. BTA who has the energy and technical nous of a headless chicken, Simms who needs fire in his belly to perform but most of the time it’s extinguished and he coasts through games.
The mtg didnt happen, it was a poster on the wind up, sadly !!
Yeah, I think that’s what I got too. Is that right though?
I didn't read it that way at all tbh. We're fine.
It was all about 5 year plan when Doug came in, close to someone at club and they said all staff where sat down and taken through the 5 year plan, so everyone off same message.
The club is already a far more appealing prospect for potential buyers if he put it up for sale now. Touch wood it will be even more so in a few years time
Totally agree.
I do think that’s a risk. King won’t top up the budget indefinitely.
We have to remember what have had quite a cash injection last few years with Hamer and Gyökeres. It's not indefinite and we need to make the most of the current situation. MVE and Rudoni will be the next ones to provide that however we would essentially be a starting again
Not quite because we only had yok and Hamer and now we have Rudoni wright mve sheaf grimes simms etc etc
