    I’d never imagine we’d get anywhere near £2m for him with 6 months left on his contract. We’d be lucky to get £1m for him and I’d snap there hand off at that.

    Timing is the issue here as opposed to being against the sale for me

    😂😂😂😂 this is a signing I would expect if we were mid table just getting numbers in to see the season out. Our recruitment plan is and has been woeful.

    Not really it just shows a lack of proper research and scouting. There are plenty of gems out there who would be available. It really does make me wonder what our recruitment department has been doing.

    😂 the balance isn’t right, Stevie Wonder could see it, it’s that obvious. CH doesn’t have the legs anymore so needs someone to do that side for him if he’s in the team. Bird doesn’t have the positional awareness. I don’t think there’s been a game this season where we’ve dominated midfield. I hoped Fornah would offer the solution but hasn’t done enough. Offload Bird, Ward, Fornah and Smith and sign a decent midfielder and a striker. If, and it’s a big if, we can get anyone to take them. In reality we’ll put all our eggs in signing Smith and end up with no one.

    I’d be amazed if we managed to sign anyone. I think we’ve put all our eggs in the Smith basket and missed out on other players. What worries me massively is we obviously have a very tight budget so signings are key, we sign players like Washington and TJJ who are injury prone so for the most part are unable to make an impact, we stumble on signings like Waggy and Nyambe, let’s face it had Smith, Wilson and Ward stayed fit we wouldn’t have signed him. In our position it is key we sign players who can stay fit and are able to contribute. We can’t carry anyone. We’ve done well up until Fozzy and Nyambe were unavailable. We are coping without Waggy, Washington, Smith, TJJ who are injured and Fornah, Ward and Elder who have struggle for minutes when fit. That is 7 players whose wages could have been put to better use. I’d rather have 3 players who are available 9 times out of 10 than 7 bit part players. If we’re being honest our recruitment just hasn’t been a good fit for our purpose. 
     
    We are 1 injury (Collo) short of the wheels coming off and struggling to make play offs when at the start of Jan we were looking at a top 2 finish. 
     
    It’s just very very poor in my eyes and shows lack of a plan. All teams must budget and have a plan for Jan and what they will need depending on how the season is going. Is on the other hand will either sign someone as a last resort, a player who isn’t match fit or someone that no one else wants.

    You may wish to check that table again.
    We DID have a game in hand, but we ballsed it up if you remember.
    We have played the same as Pompey and it is everyone else who has a game (or 2) in hand on us.
    We threw the advantage away and continue to play very badly.
    So my points still remain.

    With Collo as with all strikers it is about service, at times this season we could have Kane, Mbappe and Haaland up top and they wouldn't score. What I like about him is he scores all types of goals, I just wish at times he would stay more central and not run the channels as much. He is having a great season and fair play to him. Many wanted him replaced but he's currently the only striker left standing, literally, which is a credit to him.

    Really? I don’t think I’ve ever seen him run a game. I really don’t know what type of midfielder he is. Not a DM but also not creative or progressive enough to play further forward.

    Him and CH just don’t work and we’ve known this since day dot. If we get an offer for Bird that enables us to bring in a more mobile, combative midfielder then move him on. 1 good game in 10 isn’t good enough. Even today he was poor first half and marginally better second if you take away the goal.
