Feel like it’s Dan Barlaser from Boro. They have been looking to move him on so would line up with the Low fee but high wages

Always thought he has been decent.

Was good for Rothrum too if I remember?

Could be as not a starter, think the high wages low fee might mean a club wanting to get rid outside of ooc.

So likely candidates are Barlaser and Williams. Cant see Mowatt due to the low fee bit.

I would like Dan but not Joe. Not sure the fee Alex would cost but would be wel worth it over someone like Jamie

Alex very worth it imo just don’t think we’d have the funds needed. Would like Dan out the two as well

He’s 24 barely played a game and that’s why nobody wants him, he was lucky he got a contract when we didn’t have a pit to piss in otherwise he would have been out already.

Maybe the rumoured 28 yr old with 300+ games is Plan B because Schlupp & Matondo's clubs are asking too much so you must have a back up in case they don't back down. I hope something comes off or this forum will go mental, I however shall remain calm.

Playing 5 minutes here and there, the part of him that wants to actually contribute to first team football can’t be happy. As I said - wasted.

He’s presumably had many chances to agitate for first team football and has chosen to stay here instead - I doubt anyone would’ve stood in his way

Yes, he’s a solid CM/CDM. Plus he has a cool sounding surname.

I think I am one of the few ones who usually just waits until someone has signed on the dotted line, before then speaking of any merits and how it looks on paper as an addition to the squad etc.

It's much less stressful.

He just wouldn't be worth the wage imo. Not necessarily sure he's even the type of player we'd want.

Who says Rapha is unwanted?

He's just not ready to contribute yet.

I am not saying he is, it was on this or another thread that it was suggested he was unwanted, somebody mentioned Hilßner vibes about him.

TBF he did say that was his opinion and he’s heard the opposite from his ITK i think.

Publicly, Robins and Lampard both said the same thing that he’s a talented player but just not robust enough for standard we play at.

I don’t know what that means exactly. It doesn’t point to him being necessarily unfit, more his body being too fragile to cope. That was my interpretation.

Even still, was this known at the point of signing him? If so, I wonder why we signed him.

In the last unseen video he looked pretty impressive. He wasn't bought to go straight into the 1st team so I don't see the problem with him developing slowly this season with a view to challenging for a 1st team place next season. We signed him because he is a cheap option with little downside if it doesn't work out, so lets be a bit patient and see how things pan out in due course.

How dare you make such a suggestion
You know that if the player isn't an instant success then he must be shite!

There could be more outgoings than incoming stars at Ibrox in the final days of the window - but Rabbi Matondo's loan move to Coventry City has collapsed.

Pretty sure Matondo was a target because he can play on either wing.

We do need a RW because Raphael isn’t up to it.
Click to expand...
You have no idea, just like any of the rest of us, if Raphael is up to it or not.
He was signed as a prospect, he’s still a prospect so we’re signing players ahead of him, as we should have done in the summer too.
When will cov fans learn to stop judging players so early?
