Isn’t he more of a winger than a striker?

I understand the concept… The notion is just fanciful, frankly. Why would MVE or KKH want their minutes limited and/or relegated to bit part players? They wouldn’t. MVE is wanted by quite a lot of teams so the more likely reason we signed KKH is because we expect to sell MVE for a healthy...

Depth is needed, but we also need players in quite a few positions so spending £3.5+ mil on a squad/rotational player just seems daft. If it was a free transfer or cheaper £1-2m signing, perhaps it’d be a more squad building signing. KKH is a ‘marquee’ signing for his position. He’s been...

Agreed that we need depth at RB because MVE more or less played every minute in the last 2 seasons. In relation to this signing, the transfer fee is too high for him to be a rotational player. He swept PNE’s award night and he’s statistically an identical player to MVE. Particularly when MVE...

The copioid epidemic. We need wingers to play RW/LW, not fullbacks. It’s a part and parcel that you sell players to manoeuvre in the transfer market at our level.

No one wants to get rid of MVE, he’s been a reliable player for us since he’s joined. It’s part and parcel that our selling point as a club is that we’ll develop players and won’t stand in the way of a player who can better themselves. With specific relation to MVE, if we can triple our money...

No, he’s v much a defender and we need attacking wide players. If Haji stays, he’ll be considered primarily as a striker, so we’ve only got 2 ‘out and out’ wingers.

Looking at his highlight reel at PNE, he looked comfortable cutting in from the left hand side. I do agree that it’s a bit of a stretch that he’ll be playing LB often for us. Pragmatically, we just bringing in a replacement for MVE early doors.

Absolutely. He’d have games where his crossing is great but generally, Saka does not top charts in neither dribbling or chance creation. In my view, he’d make a top end role player for us.

He’s an improving player that statistically, had a much stronger season than Sakamoto in 24/25. Frankly, Sakamoto is a good player, but we need something more in that RW role. Even EMC needs to improve his production too but his underlying numbers suggested he could hit close to 10:10 goals and...

It’s not a real photo, Marty only posted a partial picture with Lampard in it. There’s no evidence that the photo was taken today or even who Lampard was speaking to. Nonetheless, I choose to believe! 😂

It’s also a lot like the comments made on here when COH left us on a free. Don’t get me wrong, we ‘won’ by replacing him with Rudoni. 7 goals and 6 assists is a good output from a winger and that’s whilst slightly underperforming his xG too. No doubt he’ll have to keep developing but his stats...

Remember the replies on Twitter from Huddersfield fans when we’d signed Rudoni? 😂 Got the same vibe written all over it.

Should be seen as such an outlandish proposition?! He loved his time here in 22/23, were a club that seems like promotion is more of a ‘when’ statement than an ‘if’ statement… … If it’s true that we could’ve signed him last season but Robins opted against it*, with a new manager it changes...

Good option for CB and LB. Unless we go for another You’d assume both Lati and Binks would be moved on too. 3 LCBs is a bit excessive and Lati probably doesn’t want to be 4th choice. It begs the question, do we sign another LB or would the backline be KKH-Thomas-Kitching-Doyle.

Cue Vince McMahon meme…

Don’t make promises you can’t keep! Which signing was it in 23/24 that you made a similar statement… MVE?! 😂👀

100% - most the forum must be bored too because the ‘off topic’ threads are popping! 😂

That and we made the playoffs. Even when the season looked done in December, it was important we finished as high as we could to demonstrate that our project was worth believing in. For both current and prospective players. Anyone who watched the Sunderland leg knows full well that we were the...

The people involved in transfers are back from holiday? 😂
