I’m not sure how much game time another loan would get in our defence ….

I remember Robins being hugely complimentary about the physical attributes of the Stoke players when they whipped us at our place. We couldn’t get near their midfield. I wondered if we might go back in for one of their central midfielders if we lost Hamer.

Just spoke to a Turkish mad football fan. he says the big 2 Turkish clubs wanted Wright but couldn’t compete on the transfer fee. quick, direct, composed in front of goal. … getting better each season . To score aS many goals as Wright has in a bang average Turkish team is seen as very...

Normally agents and clubs are pretty aligned on these aspects before clubs start bidding …. The reverse of how it used to be !

Brain cell ?

We have been crying out for pace for years …. Simms, Milan and Haji ( if he signs ) all give us this dimension…. Tavares too technical ability …. Tats, Joel, Da Silva, Sheaf, Palmer, Ohare, Binks Height …. Fadz, Thomas, Binks, sheaf, palmer, Simms, Haji ( if he signs ) may least 2 more...

I’ll be totally honest I’d never heard of Tats, Milan, Binks or Haji before this window but I’m super excited at their potential. @Saddlebrains do you know who has been doing the due diligence on these players. They are not the sort that Austin or Johnson would have looked at at previous clubs...

For the love of god

They might well get relegated and McNally might well suit them next season.

£8m

Not good news financially but good in the short term on the pitch. I hope it doesn’t end like it did with Tielemens at Leicester. He went from FA Cuo here to boo boy. If his form dips or he returns to picking up red cards the crowd will turn on him quickly. Of course he might be telling the...

Robins has consistently said if we lose Vik and Hamer it will require us to play a different way to create and score goals. Don’t expect like for like replacements ….

We haven’t started or switched to a loan striker in any pre season friendly. I agree Robins would normally be cautious but I think he’s currently worried that Simms work rate won’t work as a lone striker. I expect him to go with an experienced team and formation and try to stay in the game...

Robins said 3 and then take stock. I think we can assume that’s one more defender and 2 more strikers

He’s not coming

Beyond striker what other positions can he play ?

I agree I don’t see Eccles as a 10 either. Not clever enough with his final pass / shot. I do think he could make a good box to box midfielder though ….

Assuming he isn’t sold by the weekend then I think we have to start Hamer and risk any injury ruining our ability to move him on in this window. I do not think Robins will throw Milan in to this hot bed of a fixture, nor Tats. He will try to start right and hope Milan and Tats can come on and...

He can have both and he and his agent know that. It doesn’t mean that he doesn’t love being at Cov or value his relationship with Robins, his team mates or the supporters. It simply means he knows he is ready to move on to the next stage in his life and career.

No one is arguing that he isn’t.
