Kernow Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Probably the best of a very very bad bunch this season. On this season's showing the fact they'd played for Aston Villa in 2015/16 would put me off signing any player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were linked with championship players before we went up so Billy was like, "can't have the papers looking like liars" so he signed a load of championship standard players. That's got to be it... I need to find a reason for those signings godamit!!!!!!!! He did actually sign a lot Premiership players even though their skill level was nearer Division 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I haven't seen enough of Ayew to know if he's any good, but he sounds like a Blackmanesque mix between a winger and a a striker, which as a viable Martin alternative isn't what we need for our system. I hope we bring in a striker as competition for Martin who is similar to him in that they can hold the ball up. It's the most important aspect of that position in our system, just like whoever's playing CDM has to be able to break up and distribute play. With Bent we brought in someone completely different to Martin in almost every aspect (doesn't hold up the ball, all about getting in behind the defence) which would work if we were playing different systems but we religiously seem to have just one. Leicester were successful in this league because they had a rigid 4-4-2 system that all their squad could slip into when needed without any complications, something we should replicate except with our 4-3-3. If we'r going to nail sticking to one system for an entire season, we need someone who can do the basic role of holding the ball up and finish the chances, but it's okay if they have a different edge to them. For example, I liked the look of Jonson Clark-Harris when he played against us at the iPro for Rotherham earlier this season. He could hold the ball up reasonably well but has the pace and agility that Martin doesn't. Does the job, offers something different. Similarly, I quite like the look of Robbie Muirhead from Dundee United, he can hold up the ball, pass well enough and at 6'3 is a better aerial threat than Martin. He's young with potential and would benefit from being somewhere like Derby (Top facilities, coaches and chance of first team action). Those are just two players off the top of my head but they represent the sort of striker we should be looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or sign for a managerless newly promoted side and live in Derby If we got promoted I believe we would be in the running for these players, at the end of the day they're still human. Ayew might live in Birmingham and have a young family/wants to settle down etc and so would go to a local team. Ibe looks like hes fallen out of love with the game, why doesnt he come to a team where he knows most of the players and enjoyed his time here? Yes if we got promoted we would still be small fish but remember our facilities are going to be top 8 in Europe, our academy is fantastic and our financial capabilities are great enough to compete with premier league teams. I think you have forgotten that we do have an attractive club, look at all the players we have signed, we werent their last option transfer destination.

Highgate Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 It's hard plan transfers when you don't know what division you'll be in the following season. Not too many players who would be willing to join a championship team will be good enough if we find ourselves in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
