Some players are happy to come to a 2nd division side in England in the hope of a Prem team picking them up further down the line. That's where the big bucks are!!

Saunders87 Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 The worrying thing is - start of the window we needed 3/4 players, lost Tomlin so that makes it 4/5 players needed, only 2 brought in leaving a 2/3 remaining. This deal is the only one ATM that is an exciting prospect, we should be pulling out all the stops to get this bloke in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if you did a straw poll of our fan base (or any other fan base in the league) after showing them a squad list of today or the squad that played Birmingham - they'd say the Birmingham squad was stronger.

Johnr1986 Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Currently our squad is considerably weaker than it was at the start of last season, IMO we need another forward, a replacement for Tomlin, a out and out winger, and in s ideal world a new number one, and a midfield general, to replace O'Neil as not convinced by hegler at all so that 3 musts and 2 which would improve the the starting 11 .

Considerably? Why? - Who apart from the above have we lost that makes us considerably weaker? Tammy yes, but I would argue Tomlin was often last season a hindrance to our team and that's no bitterness because he went to Cardiff. When he's on his game we all know what he can do but way too inconsistent for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 If the past couple of windows are anything to go by we will end up with a press conference on something like next Thursday announcing two or three signings none of which will have even been mentioned up to now by anyone.

Grey Fox Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Do we really need more players? Seems to me we have plenty of options in all positions, especially midfield where it's a real head scratcher as to who are our top 4 or 5. Personally am pleased we have a new right back and striker, they were the obvious needs, and think the squad of last season contains what we need providing LJ can decide on our core formation and preferred starters and not keep chopping and changing every 5 minutes.

Saunders87 Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 It's all well and good us saying we think the squad is good enough but LJ pubicly said we need 3/4 - he's the boss and he sees we need more signings, that's indicator to me that we need to strengthen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all well and good but how many players do we genuinely have that could compete in the top half of the league. It's not numbers we are short of it's quality.

Weaker in the fact that Tammy and Tomlin have both left, so combined that's 30 goals gone and plus Tomlin assists together with freeman going in Jan with his delivery from set pieces was a useful asset in our squad, so I'm my opinion as things stand we are weaker than at the start of last season no point in hiding from the fact we need to get some quality in urgently. !
