Gyokeres, Kane, Bidwell
Gyokeres, Kane, BidwellWhat an utterly stupid response.
Please name me one other player whose been a success for us in the Championship and barely played the season before due to being bombed out of their former club. Not including Moore seeing as keepers don’t require the same level of fitness as outfield players.
Obviously I want Palmer to do well here but it’s never a good sign when the manager is talking about it taking months for a footballer to ready to start games.
Gyokeres was pretty average for us in his loan spell after coming from Swansea, and only kicked on after he’d had a spell of games for us to get back up to full fitness with us, which perfectly highlights my point in regards to Palmer, in that if we want to improve on last season’s performance we should be aiming higher than players who might be good after they’ve had a few months of coming off the bench.Gyokeres, Kane, Bidwell
Gyo is now worth ten times what we paid for him, I'm sure no one would mind too much if the same thing happens with PalmerGyokeres was pretty average for us in his loan spell after coming from Swansea, and only kicked on after he’d had a spell of games for us to get back up to full fitness with us, which perfectly highlights my point in regards to Palmer, in that if we want to improve on last season’s performance we should be aiming higher than players who might be good after they’ve had a few months of coming off the bench.
As for Bidwell and Kane, not sure you can call them successes yet anyway but Kane played 28 games for QPR the season before joining us, and 32 the season before that, while Bidwell played 16 in the first half of last season and 39 the season before so neither are at all comparable.

Well yeah, that’s fair enough. It’s nothing to do with footballing ability anyway, I haven’t got an opinion on that, I’ve barely seen him play and I’m looking forward to seeing how he gets on here. I’m purely talking about fitness. Attacking mid is a crucial position for us when we play the box, and if we want to push for play-offs this year it’s not ideal for us to sign someone to be first choice and then have the manager talk about how he’s not going to be fit for months.Gyokeres was a different player after a full pre-season.
Robins is also managing expectations.
Isn't it easier to wait and see and judge him after a few games?
On the other hand, have we ever signed anybody in that situation in the Championship? Joe Cole was bombed out at Villa and wasn't too bad in League 1.
No-one would, but I’m purely talking about the here and now. It’s just the reality of the market that we can afford to buy in that the only players who are available to us are going to have baggage like fitness issues etc. which means we’re then playing catch up with them while the season is going on.Gyo is now worth ten times what we paid for him, I'm sure no one would mind too much if the same thing happens with Palmer
Bright?We did OK last time we brought an AM in who started out on the bench…
Good point, 10x0=0Unless we did sign him on a free…
Bright?
I don’t think he ever got as far as the bench did he?
Is a park bench quip a bit too obvious?
anddddd bookmarkedThat’s what happens when you shop in the bargain bin of other teams rejects. Just stick with unfit players and have to hope you can get them up to speed in a reasonable time.

All tickets sorted?Going to this one...excited.
Nah they don't usually put signings on ifollowIs it on iFollow?
I’m sure someone said its on Portsmouths ifollow
I've just been on to have a look and it doesn't seem like they have it listed. You can buy actual tickets for the ground, but can't see an ifollow option.
Anyone had better luck?
Or Moore asked to leave, hence yesterdays planted article by his agent.Fucking hell, Ben Wilson is actually our first choice keeper.
How does he startFucking hell, Ben Wilson is actually our first choice keeper.
If he Moore doesn't get a half today, I'd be fairly confident that it would be Wilson starting next week.... basing that on game time/match practice and going into the season "sharp".Fucking hell, Ben Wilson is actually our first choice keeper.
