handsofclay Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 With the transfer window closed there seems to be an acceptance on here that there will be no additions to the squad now until the next transfer window opens in January. However, I think I am right in saying that for most seasons in recent years we have signed out of contract players without clubs after the deadline. So what players currently fit that category and which of them would you like to see us approach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pl00peh91 Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Maybe Agard is the 20 goal a season striker we’ve been after all along… is Matt Smith available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 13 minutes ago, Mr Yoda said: Calvin Andrew! Anyone remember his very brief loan spell for us in Gazza Johnson’s early days? Career record: 397 league appearances, 38 goals. Surely that goals to games ratio must be something of a record for a Centre Forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuber Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Only one of those I'd be interested in is Wickham as a rotational player with Martin. Even then that would be completely dependant on wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selred Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Any player won't be fit for 4-6 weeks realistically. I'd rather use the kids / change formation if we had issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His wiki says he was on a month by month contract at Southend. Maybe the closest we'll ever see to the infamous "Pay as you play" deal? Sign him up for that reason alone imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 2 minutes ago, JonDolman said: Robson Kanu would be top of my free agent list if we need a striker. Wouldn't be much of a list though Most similar to Martin. He’s always a blind spot for me because in his early days he played more as a winger, so I don’t give him full credit for his all-round forward play.

Fammyfan Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Of all of that list, maybe Wickham but only if we suffer injuries and find ourselves in a position where recruitment is essential. I think we’ll be content with a solid season with a reduced wage bill this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 None of the strikers really appeal for varying reasons- in other positions there might be one or two or one or two areas for varying reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if he is recovering from injury or simply thinking about going into punditry, as he did a fair bit of that in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifty Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Sturridge would be the best player in the league, but I'm not sure how often he'd get on the the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, he's not been injured, he was banned for illegal betting activity. Would be an amazing signing, not sure what his wage demands would be like! Probably sky high.

GrahamC Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 15 hours ago, JonDolman said: Yeah or maybe he's asking for more than teams are nowadays willing to pay, rather like Mariappa when refusing the Watford contract offer. Mariappa didn’t get any offer from Watford, he was simply released. Ashton claimed that he had rejected offers from other clubs after his release, (Reading was one rumour) expecting to get better money elsewhere, which then didn’t materialise & so he ended up signing a short term deal with us (rumour is he was on £6k a week), which was subsequently extended. Like much that Ashton said I took it with a pinch of salt, but we’ll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 3 minutes ago, JonDolman said: I thought the Watford chairman said they had tried to negotiate a new deal Don’t think so, there was a lot of unhappiness from their supporters about how his release was handled with no official announcement from the club, but no indication he was ever offered anything.

Not that often he suffers from a condition that runs through his family which makes far more prone to muscle injury! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
