One's a young player with potential, the other, on his day, at this level at least, is a match-winner. Sadly it looks as though Sako can be discounted from what he's been reported as saying about staying at Palace to fight for his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 1 Vydra = 2 Sako's (I like Vydra and think he'll end up being a decent player for us but Sako could be all we need to move us forward, this season to the playoffs).

They have signed Schlupp and Van Aanholt. So maybe his stance has changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Ram Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Van Aanholt is a full back isn't he so wouldn't affect Sako's position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some debate earlier whether they'd be signing Schlupp as a FB or Winger... The signing of Van Aanholt suggests Schlupp is there as a winger...

Tony Le Mesmer Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Said it before on here. Ollie Watkins is a star of the future. Superb talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab a dab doo Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Our scouting system seems very lacking in that we either to have great difficulty in identifying young talent or when we do, we don't have the conviction to actually follow through and get that talent to the club. As a club we seem very reactive in what we do rather than being proactive. Some times you need to take an educated chance on a young player. Sometimes a little monetary speculation can/may lead to a large gain. If you don't try you will not succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hintonsboots Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Just got back from Exeter v Wycombe. Watkins on second half sub. Made one and scored a cracker going round last man and keeper to score. Hope we get him in the summer. City fans relieved he is staying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hintonsboots Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Yes came on about 60 mins. Think Tisdale gave him a break after Pompey game. When I saw he wasn't starting thought maybe we had got a deal sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab a dab doo Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 We can and do identify players with potential. We then however hesitate or have second thoughts this leads to us losing the player. We must hold firm with our convictions and follow through with swift actions. 'Remember he who hesitates is lost' If we don't speculation we will not accumulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plymouthram Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 A workmate of mine, who is a regular at Exeter city matches(being an avid fan of the Grecians) told me last week that word is its a done deal and Ollie Watkins is joining the Rams in the summer for £2.25M. He states that a couple of home games ago the fans were talking about it on the terraces. So if its true it could be a good deal for both clubs.

MackworthRamIsGod Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I was hoping we had done a deal that would see him join at the end of the season. He does look a good tidy player, 2.25 million seems steep however? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This lad Ollie is also younger and possibly hungrier than our Czech mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
