thekingofbuxton Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 As much as I don't think this lad is anywhere near as bad as people are making out, he is also nowhere near as good as other players we have been linked with. I'd sooner us work on getting Vydra firing than another signing of this nature. If we are going to spend big lets make sure it actually makes a big difference for a change.

PodgeyRam Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Another Clough find. Remarkable how Clough finds these players year after year. Although to be fair, given he signed him from Illkeston he didn't have to go far to look at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle mccabe Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Seeing us make a offer che Adams is not a great move. He is no better than what we have and goal ratio is shocking. Hardly what I can a step forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see the point in going for another number 10, there's not many better at this level in that position than Vydra, why not just play him there! We also have Weimann and Butterfield as the number 10 back ups. If we're going to spend big, I'd rather get a top winger and possibly a better midfielder in the class of Matty James.

How are we supposed to play injured player? M. Vydra is injured at the moment, as far as I know, he has a hamstrings injury. How long does it take to recover from a hamstring injury? The length of time it takes to recover from a hamstring strain or tear will depend on how severe the injury is. A minor muscle pull or strain (grade 1) may take a few days to heal, whereas it could take weeks or months to recover from a muscle tear (grade 2 or 3).

I cant fault you on this one...if anything I think a good midfielder / winger for me more of a requirement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamsFan10 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Bit confused why we bid 3 mil for Adams (after they rejected 5) and 2 mil for Robinson. I know you're meant to start bidding low, but that's taking the p*ss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They rejected £5m from Fulham - Supposedly - And not from his former manager, the guy who brought him to B'ham - Make it clear you're interested at a certain price and then see if the player tries to force a move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Clough had a decent 'hit' rate as a mid-table team - Players who came in and 'did a job' I'm calling a hit for now - But not many of them would be considered good enough now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
