nickolas Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 But any GK can hav a few blinding saves. What im looking for is a commanding, cross taking GK. DId you see the Cheltenham highlights when first half their CF was clean through and hit the post? FF rooted to his line giving the CF acres of far post room to score. Granted he touched it onto the post but a decent striker wouldve found the far corner with ease he left it wide open. Not a GK that gives me confidence and our only weak link in what looks lke a very good squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Officially - no Technically, he could have already signed, it's just that no one on this thread has a ******* clue whether we're signing him or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 What's happening with Agard? Just come back from a long day at work. Cab to go through pages of comments. Are we any closer to signing him? If you trawl back you'll find some sloppy lying**** sent a fake tweet saying we had, apart from that, not much.

Gk is not the weak link in my opinion but central defence could still be. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe a certain El Bad was on the pitch at the time - so clearly all his fault!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamite Red Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 He has turned down a contract, we have placed a bid but they want to try and sign him up on an better deal next week. If he turns that down then I think they will accept or listen to offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westonred Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 We aint gonna get another centre back I'm afraid but I do think that El Abd and Flint will be better this season with Korey Smith and Ayling there to protect the back four which we didn't have last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyderiup Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 It is not about the midfield protecting them, it is about ball over the top, straight through the middle. Both are useless at dealing with that. We will be talking about it endlessley in September. It has been our weaknesses for 4 seasons, and we have not signed anyone who is anywhere as good as Nyron or Bikey and of course Caulker. Cheltenham highlights show this point. A long ball up top being won by CTFC forwards a couple of times while our backline stay planted instead of attacking it and clearing the danger.

Red white and red Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I wish we heard rumours about signing a cente back. I agree we need a GK and another striker, but we are screaming out for a quality CB, Flint and El Abd are not good enough. FFS, get off their backs!!!, what do you expect from flint?, he isn't a footballer, we signed him to win the first ball, exactly what he does!, El Abd will be better mentally prepared for this season, relax.

Cider red Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I hope el abd improves massively, from what i'v heard from pre season games so far that's looking unlikely, im ready to be proved wrong though. Flint on the other hand got much better towards the end of last season before his injury, the game away at shrewsbury he won everything, the lad also has goals in him, if he can sort out his mistakes and become solid he will be a decent league 1/championship centre back.

I think that if we are to see the best of Flint he still needs an old head alongside him - we don't really have that. I've still got my fingers crossed for a late Nosworthy move.... but it's not looking likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we spent 300k on a player who isn't a footballer?? Great!

Agard scored 4 past Wolves last season, there's bound to be some interest on their side. I think when they put in a bid which matches Rotherhams valuation he will go to Wolves.

If El Abd has a shocker this season then fair enough, you're right, you're clearly a better man than me, I applaud you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor bloke, must have had a lot on his mind ? Did you listen to his interview in Botswana?, do you work away from your family for weeks at a time in a high pressure environment?. Now his family are with him in Bristol, that is going to take a huge load off of him hopefully, but we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
