Oldham fans comments on his debut Opinion on our loanee, only the second German to ever play for us, ranged from ‘Decent‘ to ‘good’ to ‘automatic starter’ for the next game. > > He went off looking shattered late in the second half. >

His value is only going to rise as the season goes on as he is on people's radar now. We can't sell and loan back like Maddison. The business case is we hang on and he helps us to mid table.

There is a point where the additional benefit of Hamers' extra quality is bettered by having more of other players paid for by the transfer fee earned by selling him. If £1m bought Walker and £1.5 bought Hamer in the first place, clearly even £3m gets you two or even three quality players. And...

I wonder whether Godden is out, full stop.

Now we re in the championship, we have swapped our main source of players from being experienced out of contract Bosmans (Kelly, MacF, Allen, Marosi, Wilson, Dabo even O'Hare etc) to loans. What unites these two methods is that they are cheap and flexible, unlike youth and purchase. He's going...

Hamer was not unknown, and cost serious money. Hissner was a freebie

Give him Shippers' slot for at least 30 mins next time, and if ok full debut thereafter

I'd love an extra striker, but can't work out the scenario in which he arrives (see other thread). Where on the sliding scale of wages v ability does this striker sit. Cheap = crap Good = too expensive. I hope to be wrong. Assuming we are max'ed out on loans.

Free agents have been rejected by their previous clubs. There may just be a reason for that.....

match day iirc

doesn't james mean bwe have the max for the match day squad

He can only play 2 if he has 12 players. He played 1 all last year

The problem: Once Godden & Walker are fit, any incomer will likely be, at best, third in the striker pecking order, in a team that plays only one up front. 1. Would anybody who was any good, join us in that situation? Unless you are a loan 2. We can't have any more loans. 3. Or unless the new...

Back to non Covid Wilson Dabo Osti McFad Hyam Sam James Hamer O'Hare Shipley Max Shipley because he played well against Millwall. But would be quite pleased if Bapaga started instead.

I'm not sure the whole programme may not be postponed before then

win-win then

HOW we build the team cost effectively is just as important as WHO or in WHAT POSITION? The idea of building up the squad for long term is for the fairies. Over 80% of the squad, excluding fringe players. have arrived in the last two years. If you want success, Robins' skill has to be in...

Tony Hateley - heading (ditto George Kirby) Michael Doyle - passing the ball to the opposition Danny Fox - free kicks Adam Armstrong - chipping the goalie Les Sealey - Long kicks from the hand that required a full minute's preparation

Crikey, didn't realise that was the same Jack Stephens

sadly, you are probably right
