Summer 2020 Transfer Window

[everbrite]

Unfortunately Lloyd is no better than what we’ve got and if I’m being harsh he’s actually worse would just give us some back up.

Agreed - Mr Yayo has made some extraordinary claims about LJ not least the one about Inter Milan. From what I saw of LJ he is simply not good enough. Treat Yayo Bayo comments with a few grains of salt.

[1HorshamCobbler]

Agree, think he was coming back from injury last year but poor in comparison to the 3 defenders we had in L2

[cobbler151]

Feel free to post me some of whatever you've been smoking..

Arnold - Was second choice in L2 behind Dai.
Bolger - Possibly, but not on the last 2 showings.  
Adams - Hasn't played in L1 since 2014. Is now 33 and on his last legs.
Marshall - Had a good cameo in the play off final. Was a bench warmer in L2 for the 3 months before. Is now 33 and on his last legs.
Mills- Unknown.
Watson - Agreed.
Hoskins - Possibly.
Nuttall - Wouldn't have thought so otherwise Blackpool would have kept him.
Seal - Not yet... played 5 times in L1 has wasn't asked back by Accrington.

With footballing knowledge like this floating about, very clear Barca have missed a trick.

Last season we were sh1te with sh1te players barring 1 or 2 and it was doom and gloom right up until the play offs. First play off the doom went stratospheric and right at the death it turned out that we were great after all. This time out we’ve played 4 games, tonked Prem candidates Cardiff, got tonked by Prem candidates Bristol, drew our first league game and gone out of the tin pot cup. All with a piled up creaking treatment table and guess what? Yep we’re sh1te with sh1te players and going to get creamed. All we need is to take a leaf off this board, consistency?

Whilst you will no doubt disagree, I don't think any of those mentioned would be on the radar of Barca.

You appear to criticising the fanbase for creating a doom and gloom scenario, especially on here! Personally I agree with you as most of us have moments of doom especially me after last nights debacle.

I agree with  most of that, I still think we have a potentially better squad this year than last (if the injury crisis ever abates). A draw and a reasonable first league performance added to the fact I think there are worse squads than ours in the league plus financial casualties over the season, should see us safe.

I think there is a real split between the top 10 squads and the rest in this league and I think there will be a lot of similar bottom half teams getting slaughtered this season

[guest3264]

                             Arnold

                Racic  Bolger  WHARTON
Harriman                                           Mills

  Watson  McCORMACK (type)  Adams

                  Ashley-Seal   Nuttall

will give at least a half of the division a competitive game, so that is where we will get enough points to finish above the drop!

I like you Wattie unfortunately although occasionally you do come out with some right bollox !

Please can you name ONE player that is an upgrade on last season, that’s a team that finished 7th in L2.
Please don’t say Mills because he’s no better than Marshall, Harriman or Adams.

[guest3063]

I see Cornell is warming the bench for Ipswich now, totally agree it would have been 6 or 7 with him in goal.

You clearly forgot. He played last night against Fulham, only conceded one goal

-Mills is an upgrade at fullback to everyone except Harriman and is an improvement going foward on him.
-Missoulo is an improvement in midfield, at least for the 30 games that McCormack didn't play.
-Korboa is an improvement on all attacking options for the 40 games that Morton didn't play.

How do you know mills is no better than what we’ve already got? Look at his career and the fact he was poty at forest green last season - he is ideal for the lwb role. I agree that at this point the squad looks possibly weaker in depth than last year but I am hoping that the 3 players still to come in will all be starters and add quality (having said that I am slightly concerned that Jones might be one of them as were desperate for a left sided centre back to give balance).

Bit stating the obvious.

Haha I love it, you mean they are better than nobody, Missoulo is a bog standard L2/ conference player.
I do like Korboa but he’s no Oliver or Morton

Just think we could give it a few games before we get our knickers in a twist again Evers? Just a personal view obviously.

So 3 out of the 9 players that have signed are an improvement on last year?

[1HorshamCobbler]

We need to give it another 5 or 6 games, but of course we all start to form opinions after the first few games be that positive or negative

[yayo bayo]

I shall stop posting and coming on here....the amount of sh*t I get spouted at me...this transfer will happen regardless of your comments. I know the guys family. Up the cobblers

Manny ruling out Mills to me seems a strange way to go as far as comparisons go. From what I have seen of Mills he is a more than adequate
replacement, perhaps already Oliver has been replaced by either Nuttall from B'pool or Benny from Wolves. Racic is probably an improvement on Turnbull as is Horsfall. We may yet see incomings which may raise our level of quality! So I believe also there is some accuracy in Watties analysis it might be somewhat positive but it also depends how one views his analysis. For me for better or for worse even after last night prefer to hope for the best.

PS Correction to Norris etc

[Gen.Disorda]

Three that I can judge right now yes,

Mills is an out an out wingback
We suffered hugely from a lack of a defensive midfielder when McCormack wasn't there.
Morton played 8 games in the league.
