Alwaystomorrow Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Adobe is not the answer. The Stoke fans forum give him more stick than we give to Fammy. He is a very similar player to Fammy. Not the type of player we need at all. A last minute panic signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How proven were you expecting? Wiki says 6 goals in 26 games for Stoke last year. How many did Fam score? Hardly sounds like an upgrade, but I will defer any views until he has played a few games for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had a dreadful three seasons and isn't pretending otherwise. But it sounds like he is working hard to get himself where he was. https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stoke-city-benik-afobe-improvement-3087471 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give initial credit for the signings, Kalas, Nagy, Dasilva.. among others excellent. But WE NEEDED A STRIKER. That cost us last season, so how on earth have they let that happen again. We won't get anywhere hoofing it up to Diedhou. We won't get anywhere hoofing it up to any striker. That's the point. That's why we've signed midfielders who will give us other options.

All because we've not signed a 20 year old with only 8 first team appearances whose attitude appears to be such that didn't even have the courtesy to tell us he wasn't going to come to his medical. 28 minutes ago, Alwaystomorrow said: Adobe is not the answer.

Need to get rid of this overpaid, underperforming w***"r and get someone in who can actually do the job he clearly can't. Another year of lumping the ball up to a lame donkey and any thoughts of promotion can now be forgotten. I think the biggest problem is that you don't understand how transfer windows work or how a football club is run off the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red DNA Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 IF... MA,SL or LJ did try to explain what went wrong (not a lot) during this transfer window whatever they say / even giving free season tickets and Clarks pies away, would not be good enough for some people on here who have never run their own business and had to negotiate deals. Besides the actual wage limits the major reason why alleged better players don’t want to join us is they see it as a backwater and too far from London or Manchester. So, we have no option but to build slowly but quickly as we’re allowed to under FFP, and get a team together who given upgrades over a few years will improve year on year - like what we’ve done!!! Hopefully the new players we have brought in will give us more options to support different tactics for whoever is up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Good we have refreshed the midfield - on paper looks good. Good we have refreshed the back line, although jury out on keeper and we desperately needed a pacy centre-back to replace Webby to complement Kalas. Big fail on the forward line. Benik ok to alternate with Fammy, but we needed a fast ‘baller man up there. A little alarming that the likes of Reading, Wigan and Brentford secured their men and we were left waiting at the altar. Doesn’t look now like we have a Plan B (should be an A) for our attack. Risk being that we will see a continuation of the dire ‘hit and hope’ tactics of last Sunday rather than the slick ‘pass and move’ football of a couple seasons ago. Loads of deadwood at the Club which we’ve failed to shift that isn’t great for team morale either. Forget the January window. We don’t do those. So, next Summer, for the love of God, make the attack the priority Mr Ashton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC11 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 So SL, MA, and LJ get dogs abuse for failing to get the Nketiah who’s totally unproven deal over the line when imo we were shafted by Emery who’s helped out his lover at Leeds, yet we sign a proven goalscorer at this level and it’s not good enough?
