Bold reporting to only name five teams in the division as possibly, maybe being after him. Really going out on a limb there.

His agent trying hard but not easy when you’re marketing football’s answer to Gavin Williamson

 

[cc84cov]

Ill drop him off myself

I’ll come with ya sparks we can share petrol

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Think he’ll leave permanently too

 

[mark82]

Think he’ll leave permanently too

Yep, loan doesn't make much sense.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I'd want some assurances that Walker isn't far off before going back to just 2 senior strikers available

 

[Gibbo]

I'd take the gamble and get rid, now we have the loan.

As I posted on twitter, there are 28 players including the new striker who could reasonably be considered for the matchday squad, including injured players (27 now Hissner has gone at least temporarily). Baka is the only one left who joined during 2018-2019 season. Four 'joined' in L2 - Shipley, Kelly, Hyam and Biamou. Everybody else, last season or this, so a manager's job is not easy. The idea of a settled squad is for the fairies.

Because of the wage cap in League 1 his salary here would be above that I would suggest. Hence why it will probably be a loan in the first instance... With us making up the shortfall.

Dan Crowley gone on loan to Hull City so that ends that rumour...

Better than any of our players according to some. He needs to fire his agent.

 

[Grendel]

It does to the club taking him

 

[Grendel]

Why? I’d imagine they will contribute more to his wages there than we could and he goes straight into a promotion race

I think Hull is a decent enough move. Drop a league, perform well and boost your confidence up and then sign for them in the summer when they’re likely to be a championship club anyway.

It's only the same as us loaning James when his contract is up in the summer

 

[mark82]

Yep, fair point. If we get loaning team to contribute to wages I suppose it's worth it.

Re Pask read somewhere that Exeter are front runners for him.

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

With Rose and Walker likely to still be weeks away from recovery/fitness there's not a great deal of cover if any of our fit CBs or STs suffer injuries. Especially if both of the aforementioned pick up niggles, further delaying their return date.

 

[Magwitch]

What is Walkers injury thought read initially calf strain but must be more serious than that and Rose for that matter.

Prognosis for Walker was 6 weeks out. Think that was 4 weeks ago. Rose has the same injury as Allen had last year. Tried to come back and broke down again. Apparently due back in some training next week.

He will need to get a good removals company in to move all that way....... Ah hold on, no he will be fine!

 

[larry_david]

Kinda want pask out on loan. To get 12 games under his belt and see how he does. He's played 6 games in a year and a half out of position

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

If Robins thinks we’re done in the transfer window then he needs to wheel and deal because we’ve got issues at the back and up front.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

James isn’t cover for injuries he’s the best midfielder we have alongside Hamer

Do you reckon we'd have loaned him in if Kelly wasn't injured?

 

[cc84cov]

Do you reckon we'd have loaned him in if Kelly wasn't injured?

Yes 100% if the chance was available

 

[Deity]

Really hope not.
I’m not sure we have enough to stay up ...

we have not strengthen this window, if anything we are weaker.

james is a swap for Kelly
Viktor for Godden

At the start of the campaign we were missing Dabo, Jobello and Rose but had Jones, and Walker. Only Dabo is back now.

In addition Shipley and Baka look very low in confidence now, but were full of it at the start of the season ( even if still largely ineffective )

I think it will be touch and go for the rest of the season and our lack of goals and lack of pace could cost us. We are too easy to set up against.

I think our squad is one of the worst 3 in the league but our manager is better than most of the bottom half. It’s whether Robins can be the difference or not.

Those that watched last night will understand why I said that I am not sure we have enough to stop up. It’s not that I’m certain we don’t, I’m just not certain we do.

Hyam off the pace, Shipley anonymous, O’Hare lacking end product, and no proven striker available for selection.

the next 3 matches are huge. ....

He’ll be leaving I think not just a loan

Him and baka have no future here

 

[Winny the Bish]

The fact that we have no money left to spend and STILL didn't buy or loan a new attacking midfielder is a disgrace.

Window isn’t closed yet but robins said his work his done might have cjsnfed after Shipley last night tho but can’t see it we’ve got to change the system

Judging by his quotes we're already over budget and need to get rid of players just to balance the books. Unless an L1 team fancy giving us £500k for Baka, Kasta or Pask we're done.

I don’t see Pask or kasta going anywhere unfortunately baka maybe but will be a free

 

[Hobo]

Do you reckon we'd have loaned him in if Kelly wasn't injured?

Yes. His experience will be invaluable at this level. He will sign in the summer.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Yes. His experience will be invaluable at this level. He will sign in the summer.

*if we stay up

 

[shmmeee]

Yes. His experience will be invaluable at this level. He will sign in the summer.

Got to say, while his passing and corners are impressive, I don’t think he’s an organiser like Kelly, nor does he get his foot in on the edge of the box like Sheaf. If we’re so tight for budget we can’t have more than one fit striker and one capable AM, we really shouldn’t be wasting it on luxury players in non-essential positions with questionable fitness.

I am not going to judge what he can do and cant do after one game.
