Major Isewater Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 1 hour ago, steveybadger said: So to recap: - we have lost best defender but have secured next 2 best permanently. - promising youngster had decent game against best team (?) in division onSunday - We have provenChampionship CBs in reserve - may be in for another before deadline anyway - now v well covered for goalkeepers - right back competition / first choice upgrade(?) secured -most importantly: midfield now well stocked with quality, with more to come possibly. The lack of cover was our biggest problem last season. BY FAR. We can rotate and play a high press for longer. - disappointing re EN if true but i’m Certain we have back ups and another 24 hours to go...... - overall I think we are better off than last year, with a day to go. We are worse off than last year because now we have too many players in the squad and they will kill the dressing room togetherness meaning that we will go down with players on huge contracts that nobody can afford to buy out even if they wanted to , which they won’t. We are screwed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Massengo alone is half decent then we won’t be worse off finacially. that said I have a nagging doubt you’re on to something re ‘teamspirit’. However, don’t players respond to competition, if that competition is strong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only have to look at the likes of Wolves, Sheffield United, Villa and even Leeds and Derby, they all had this vital ingredient that we are missing. I said before we should not have put all our eggs in one basket with this Arsenal lad and now the best we can hope for are the second rate strikers that are left, all our other targets have been transferred to other clubs.

MarcusX Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 2 hours ago, Yozzarian said: If as it appears we lose out to Leeds at the last minute for Nketiah's signature then we are going to find ourselves in the bizarre position of fans feeling despondent despite the club having shelled out millions. Why we can't address the forward situation is beyond me. The club must be commended for the signings secured but today along with the performance on Saturday has my mood low. Still, I'll be there next game hopeful as ever. We are a relatively small club in this league, big names are going to choose bigger clubs because a) they are seen as a better move and b) likely able to pay much more were moving towards being more self sufficient and in time can afford bigger fees and wages but until then we are never going to be front of the queue for the biggest names. that leaves us with two options, as breaking the bank isn’t a viable solution the only alternative is looking at lower league players/overseas players or otherwise lesser “known” players and taking a bit of a gamble.

MarcusX Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 2 hours ago, Yozzarian said: It's just always appearing to treat the forward problem as a secondary concern. Why we were even in for a loan and not seeking to secure someone permanently is frustrating. Today's news is just a blow. How do you know this? You don’t know what goes on behind the scenes, I’m sure the club aren’t stupid and don’t think we don’t need a striker (LJ has even said we need one) so clearly we are looking, we just can’t compete with a lot of clubs in this division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with all of this. Perhaps EN was too high quality then? Presumably there is something of a compromise out there?

I agree - I'm 100% with you on the need for someone to come in. I just don't think the club have 'failed'. If it's a case of not paying as much money as others for FFP reasons, or not being seen as an attractive 'Big Club' in the eyes of a target, nothing will drag an unwilling striker here (unless he's after a final tasty contract). Not having a pop at you personally, much like you're not having a go at me just coz I'm filthy rich and extremely talented! However, I wouldn't get out of bed for the paltry amount the club are likely to offer me to go up front for them. Love you xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
