Aren’t they still under an embargo? How are they signing players like him, Robinson and Grant

Not anymore they’re not. I think they paid what they owed.
Pretty sure they’ve picked up loans and freebies. Tbf they’ve not done badly considering that.

To play where? He's a AM, or No.10, and we're blessed with lots of them (O'Hare, Palmer, Allen, Ayari)

CM and a winger please then.

A winger on loan from the prem seems a no brainer.

I don't think Moore is Robins type of player, he sold of Clarke Harris all those seasons ago.

I don’t even think JCH is comparable to Moore, JCH was much more mobile and less of an aerial target. Nearest equivalent we’ve had to Moore in recent memory was probably Jutkiewicz.

Nixon said he's trying to find information o "one in particular" which alludes to me could be an interesting one or its someone he doesn't know much about, a foreign signing maybe?

Really want that Pereira lad now. Think he’s just what we’re missing. Which means it’s never going to happen. Never fall in love with a YouTube clip.
Click to expand...

Remember you persistently wanting us to sign Panzo for 2 seasons before we actually did

Hopefully this lad will be better should we end up signing him.

Ahh ffs, really hope we don’t go after this sort of mediocre hand-me-down player from a prem team, just like the Kieffer Moore rumour. These sorts are past their prime and not what we should be investing in. The likes of John Swift, Billy Sharp, Kieffer Moore, Adam Lallana, all just way past it in my eyes, we want exciting young talent that we can train on, ideally bargains from overlooked European sides. Really hope we’re thinking outside the box rather than going after the blast from the past types.

I don't see us looking at the 2 players mentioned, both have been decent but wouldn't fit the model. We are going to be looking at younger players that can be molded into the shape and the squad culture. Thats not to say we wouldn't sign an established player and have mentioned before i can see 1 young prem loan, 1 younger player to develop and 1 perm established that could fit in from the off

1 loan exciting attacking player, Doak etc..
1 perm eye on future, Sykes, etc
1 perm can go into 1st team right away. Swift,, etc

It is staggering but what I would say is unless you’re a top class player (Son Heung Min, Harry Kane examples I can think of) there is, eventually, regression to the mean.

Yup, only player who has outperformed xG throught entire career is Messi.

Even Ronaldo regressed to the mean.

Still like Panzo. But he’s nowhere near as good as he looked.

He might be wide of the mark on this time will tell.

he doesn’t talk bollocks though … his track record in the EFL is much better than most …

Yeah he’s fairly good. Occasionally he will put out some nonsense that an agent as told him but he’s a fairly reliable source

Cannot see a CB at all

Why would we? We play 4 at the back, have Thomas, Kitching, Binks and Fadz

Meanwhile a gaping hole in the 8 role which has been there for months doesnt get filled? I dont buy it

Just seen Nathaniel Adjei, the centre half we were linked with is close to joining Leeds for £3m.

Binks on loan and Fadz can’t play in a back 4. If there’s a centre half out there that Robins thinks can make us better then I’m all for it.
