Can't imagine they'll be able to afford his wages though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows he's going to need games to build himself back up to the level of the Championship and its unlikely anyone will give him a decent number of games at this level with how poor he is at his current fitness levels. This is a 'press the reset button' situation for him, I think - regardless on whether or not the Oxford rumours are true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernRam Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Sell Hanson and loan Thorne out. Thorne needs regular game time but he'll be worth keeping on the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, if we shift Vydra, then we'll be in the market for at least another 4 possibly 6. We still need another keeper with some experience. Albeit to sit on the bench. We need at least 2 midfielders. Mobile. Quick. Ideally bigger than we have as potential to look light weight in there. Think possibly McGinn. Saville at Millwall. Maybe Billing from Huddersfield. Possibly we're still light something a bit more creative too. Wilson is skillful. Not seen enough of Mount to know. Other than that we don't have masses of guile. A bit of mystery. If we shift Pearce out I'd still be looking to bring in another centre back. I don't think we can rely on CD playing every game again. Failing that a left back. I'd also love Peter Crouch as an option from the bench. Not asking much really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are games when you have to have something different. A plan B. Crouch absolutely offers that. 500k would get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you suggest we get Crouch then? Is he going to sit on the Bench instead of Bennett? Thomas? Marriott? We have an over inflated squad already. We don't need Peter bloody Crouch. It'll just be the stifling the youth that we have at the club already.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd bothered to read what I wrote then perhaps you would understand. Bennett, Thomas and Marriott all offer similar styles and outputs. I'm talking about a Plan B... You know the thing we've been missing for the last 10 years. Doesn't have to be Crouch. After reading the trouble Swfc are in I'd look at Nuhiu too.

FrostedRam Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Player Spot - I’ve just followed George Boyd down the A6, not saying there’s anything in it, don’t even think we need him. He carried on towards acorn way/ moor farm and not pride park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The illusive plan B you talk about isn't something we have been missing either. It's mythical. Despite the fact he could offer something different t's not worth it at all, we should be looking to see what our youth players have to offer. Far too many times have we bought someone in that just knocks youth development out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we just play one way and if it's not working we keep doing the same thing over and over. Good luck with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
