Ebou Adams - Joined on loan until end of the season
FKANorwichExile replied to inter politics's topic in Transfer Forum
Is that it?! Expected Cardiff to #bemoreB4 and ask for £30m and add-ons! -
Oh now that's a shout. He looked so sharp before he did his knee.

He'd been an excellent squad player for next season, but it might come down to wether he's happy to settle for the bench or be guaranteed starts elsewhere. I can't imagine us going in to the new season without having made a marquee striker signing. -
It'll be worth keeping an eye on Reading. Whilst I don't want us to pick the bones exactly, they're up the creek and their paddle has just snapped. Mola (lwb), Savage (DM), Wing (cm) and Smith (st) could all be available for less than market value and would be decent acquisitions to bulk out the weaker parts of the squad.

I'd be down for "Seth Johnson"'ing the pair of them

21st will do for me! Seeing how Plymouth smashed League 1 but still aren't safe tells you all you need to know about the strength of the Championship. We need a lot of strengthening but I'm confident in Warne and the team getting it right and keeping us up. -
Assuming we resort to 343 or 352, we need to sign Adams and a mobile upgrade on Hourihane. I'd love us to pick up Sheehan from Bolton or Brannigan from Oxford, somebody who can spray the ball around and create but also have to legs to get around the pitch. Then we just need to conjour a goalscoring, hard working, fitness freak striker and I'm sure there are loads of affordable options around 🙃

Match Thread: Cambridge United (a)

Collo is clearly not fully fit from his "season ending" injury, but what a performance he put in today defensively. I can't imagine many of us had Sibs converting to a left wing back on our bingo cards for the season, but he's been immense to end the year. Back three solid as ever, Bird showed a couple of glimpses of his usual class and Thommo ran himself into the ground once more. Boxes ticked, now can this week hurry up already?! -
It's certainly the biggest shift from last season. The players have barely changed, but we seem to have worked out how to clear the first man this year!

After years of watching us pay through the nose for form players who inevitably disappoint, it'd be really refreshing for us to become a club who pick up outcasts, misfits and players who just haven't worked out and mould them into a team of winners. Obviously that's a lot harder to do and requires top notch scouting and analytics, but doing a "Moneyball" and fitting the right players at the right time would be so satisfying. Especially when you think back to the Blackman and Anya signings *shudder*

I hope this means they'll do a run of the 1996/7 maroon away shirt again, seeing as they were the sponsor too. My first, and favourite, Rams shirt.

There aren't words in the English language for how much I fudging hate Wycombe. And they just comfortably outplayed us. Utterly pathetic.

Are we pretending this isn't happening then?

Osman was the only one that came to mind for me. Him and Ian Taylor made a sensational partnership. Asa was my favourite player as a lad (I had a signed portrait on my wall that my dad found in the loft recently) but for me Stimac was the catalyst of the change in that team (although I was a wee lad at the time). -

My Rams journey started in '94 and I've never seen a player come in and have such a massive influence on a team single handedly as Ebou Adams has. It's like Warneball just clicked when he came in, the mythical missing puzzle piece. Sign up The General immediately! -
I'll take that all day. Good, solid away performance where either team could have claimed they deserved a winner. We definitely looked tired by the end, especially Collo who by all accounts should barely be able to stand let alone run around for 90 minutes. If Vickers is fit he might be able to stake a claim for a start next time out too.
