But It makes sense, DET mentioned martin could leave, Burton have just lost Boyce, Martin likes Derby area, out of contract in summer, plus Cocu said one more could leave. I obviously hope it don’t happen as he’s a good back up, but you never know I have seen nothing this season to suggest anybody should be starting before him!

I agree, however it is ultimately down to the club what happens with him. Would like to see him sign for another year though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACKWORTHRAM Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I've come to the conclusion that I honestly do not care if we sign anyone now. This season is pretty much a right off. I'd like to think we won't go down. We definitely aren't going up. For me now I'd just like to finish the season strong and push for a top half/top 10 finish. I'd like us to sign a winger if possible. Just for the sheer fact that watching us attack at the moment is boring beyond words and watching this for the remaining games of the season doesn't fill me with any excitement whatsoever. There's no point in us signing a centre half. Wait till the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem determined to charge us with something and if Reading got an embargo for their large wage bill and Wednesday for submitting their accounts late, it wouldn't surprise me for them to place us under one for the stadium stuff. I don't want us to go panic buying players just for the sake of it, but I'd really like to see 2-3 players come in on permanent deals so if the worst does happen we aren't left with Davies as the only centre back at the club and still without any decent wingers.

Average points for safety is 47 Maximum ever needed was 54 We're on 37 from 29 So 10 - 17 points from 17 That's averaging less than 1 point a game.

That's a fair point. If we are to sign a centre half I'd rather sign the Dutch defender then Benkovic. Benkovic we have absolutely no chance of signing on a permanent deal. The Dutch lad's contract is up in the summer meaning the fee wouldn't be much. I'd imagine the fee to sign him wouldn't be too much different from the loan fee for Benkovic.

Unfortunately, it’s made me worry it has occurred to them but we are in such dire straits they can’t do anything about it. Now, I’m not attempting to scaremonger here, it’s just my instinct is to worry, I drive my wife mad worrying about stuff that doesn’t happen most of the time. ?

I'd rather Marriott went with his current form but to be honest i would hang on to all three of our Centre forwards with the rapidity our squad picks up injuries.

Birdyabroad Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 We’re not signing anyone this January, and that’s a GOOD thing. Jan signings have not been great for us and are often overpriced. The season is over, we’re not going up or down, we’re not. There may be some fun to be had on the cup, but that’s all folks. So, let’s not sign anyone and give more and more game time to our U23’s, let’s see if they can rise to the challenge and be worthy of building the team around next season.

Then again, the way our financial situation is unfolding, we may have no option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy thought I know, but I did think this week that the only positive that I could think of from relegation would be that it may be easier to integrate the youngsters as one whole crop and truly see who is/isn't up to it. Clearly relegation would be a disaster for the club, but, when you look at how Southampton had so many good young players in league 1, many of which went onto being sold for millions (mostly by liverpool), no reason why they couldn't happen with us. Touch wood relegation isn't even on the cards like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
