If Union Saint Giloise are after him then he’s probably very good

Absolutely no chance. Lets make 9 of the squad available. A squad that got in the playoffs.My guess is that this summer BTA, Simms, Binks, Lati, Bidwell, Eccles, Allen, Collins and Milan were all made available for transfer this window but only Binks and Milan had takers. Would imagine Frank isn't to bothered either way about whether the players left or stayed, both options have there benefits and drawbacks.
Again wouldn't be surprised if they were still moved on as we move through the window.
Exactly. Every fan all around the world, loves a new signing, the more the merrier. However it is not us that has to write the cheques. Over the last 20/30 years look how many clubs, including us have got into serious financial difficulty, when even the club's existence is called into question. The old maxim , you can only spend a pound once still rings true.A lot depends on identifying the right player at the right price who wants join us. Football is not an exact science and it is easier said than done. Even players who seem the perfect fit can flop for all sorts of reasons.
I would rather we build slowly by identifying the right players rather than signing players just to tick a box. Plenty of time left in this window also and we should be reasonably competitive already.
Wouldn't mind them running the rule over Brandon Williams, i know the lad has done wrong and lost his way. But may be he can find his way back and understand the talent he has. Done well at Hull and could add competition in both LB and RB as cover.
Forced signing or not we're not going into the season with Wilson in goal and Collins as his backup. How can that not be stronger?Not exactly strengthened have we, keeper was a forced signing, we’ve swapped a very good RB for hopefully the same level and not sure about the new LB, kicking off the season with the same team that came up short last season ?
He also does this weird thing of communicating with his defence, instead of the telepathy of his predecessors.Forced signing or not we're not going into the season with Wilson in goal and Collins as his backup. How can that not be stronger?
I know it's only been friendlies before anyone says it but other than the goal he gave away with the miscontrol of the ball he's made a few very good saves already. He comes out and actually catches the ball. Always alert to the ball coming over our defence. He is going to be worth quite a few points compared to what we had. Reality will hit home when the season starts.
So far it looks competitive but not as strong as last season. There's no side like Leeds for starters that were in the Championship last season. Other than Ipswich there's a doubt or two against each side. Most sides haven't brought in players where you think it improves them. Norwich have brought in decent players but have lost the players that scored half their goals.Because we didn’t get promoted? The league looks very competitive this year and I can only assume that not strengthening will yield the same result as last year. I get that it’s a long term goal that Doug has in place but I’d have hoped for us to be signing some quality on top of the quality we already have, rather than filling in gaps or injured players.
Sheffield United don't look as strong.
Well we have heard it from the horses mouth we don’t go chasing players in the last few days of a transfer window. Only if negotiations are already a long way down the line will the club pursue things into the last few days.
Easily our worst signing in years.Not since paying through the nose for Kitching anyway.
What?Easily our worst signing in years.
BTA well in the running for thatEasily our worst signing in years.
How is he our worst signing in years? How many goals has he directly cost us? Our best run of results last season happened at the same time he got his place back in the teamEasily our worst signing in years.
Again, we signed dross like Sean Maguire only a couple of seasons ago. BTA is way better than thatBTA well in the running for that
BTA well in the running for that
This also applies to BTA TBFOur best run of results last season happened at the same time he got his place back in the team
We signed Freddy Eastwood ffs and people are talking about Kitching/BTA/Simms being our worst signings ever. Crazy.
Simms’ goals took us to an FA Cup semi finalNot sure how BTA can beat Simms when he cost less and is currently keeping him out the team TBH.
Christ. That long.Mate I hate to break this to you but that was 17 years ago. Hardly “recent years”. I agree it feels like yesterday.
I feel like there’s only so bad a signing you can be if you ultimately generate a profit for the club. Not sure the same will be true for any of the other three.Binks another signings who was much worse than Kitching/Simms/BTA
Have to agree, I haven't seen anything on the pitch to suggest Bessette will be a top player and he is not likeable at all.Barring a major personality turnaround it seems pretty clear that the worst signing we’ve had in years is Bassette.
We dont actually know if we made a profit.I feel like there’s only so bad a signing you can be if you ultimately generate a profit for the club. Not sure the same will be true for any of the other three.
The context was the worst signing in years. The number of years wasn't specifiedWe signed Freddy Eastwood ffs and people are talking about Kitching/BTA/Simms being our worst signings ever. Crazy.
And at times he was unplayable vs Man United.Simms’ goals took us to an FA Cup semi final

Well he's my first choice centre back, a real leader on the pitch. It was noticeable once he became a regular. But surely Collins wins that accolade.Easily our worst signing in years.
That turn and shot against the underside of the bar in extra-time.And at times he was unplayable vs Man United.
Collins was actually good for a bit! We’ve had numerous signings who’ve never even done that.Well he's my first choice centre back, a real leader on the pitch. It was noticeable once he became a regular. But surely Collins wins that accolade.
We need to look elsewhere then, maybe Antman?
