Won't know until they get a run out. Where do you expect us to finish then Macca, with the Messiah in charge and these signings ? Top 6 minimum ?

Sad we are now shopping in the middle isle of Aldi, hopefully we can get the equivalent of a decent cheap battery drill. Can’t we get Messy and Ronoldo from Aldi and they be almost as good as the real thing but cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteroseram Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I'd definitely put these, and all our trialists in fairness, firmly in the "worth a look" category. The thing about having so few senior pros is we can bring a lot of free agents in for a closer look. If the coaching staff don't like the looks they'll get a polite "thanks but no thanks". But like a few have said look at CKR, none of us really wanted him but the staff watched him train for a few weeks and knew he could do a job. None of these are the promotion push players we're used to being after, but does anyone think we're honestly aiming for anything beyond staying up, ideally drama free?

Jourdan Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Morrison? Aluko? Jagielka? Stearman? Baldock? I have to say I am full of optimism for the season ahead. The good times are back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Plan Rooney - gather all the players that you want at training ground. Give them a pre-season. Last minute reprieve to let us sign players. Sign a new team of fully trained players all on one day. What is not to like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammeister Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I’d trust Rooney’s judgement on attacking players if we actually signed any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty1986 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Baldock would be worth a go. A hard working irritant of a forward in a similar vein to Gregory, Weimann etc. His career numbers aren't too bad by any stretch and he's played for some decent sides at this level. Folks love a good whinge for whinging sake. It's pretty clear that the type of player we are looking at now is 100 % relative to the situation we currently find ourselves in. The only immediate priority is to simply form a squad capable of competing in the Championship next season. With all of the overriding factors and restrictions impeding our potential transfer movement (self inflicted or otherwise), what else is realistically expected?

Dean (hick) Saunders Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Seem to remember Baldrick being a useful squad player for Brighton when they were at top of league every year. Cant remember actually noticing the other dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wignall12 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Get over yourselves people, hoik your panties out of that big wad. We are where we are and until the EFL release that grip on our throat and let us back down to the ground there is sweet F.A. we can do about it. This transfer window is about getting in who we can to try and steady the ship. We can only try to do what we are "allowed " to do by the Dictatorship. They have us by the short and curlies and are mightily peed off they cant do more. So we can't sign Messi or whoever.......nowt we can do about only plan for if things relax. I suspect that will not come before a takeover. Why all the bile and venting of spleens ? Do you not think those in charge feel as hamstrung as us ?

S8TY Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 It might be an idea to use the “Dads Army” theme for when players run out at PP I mean ffs Jagielka Davies Baldock Kazim Aluko Forsyth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldben Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Even with the Royals’ shortage of wingers last term, Aluko was barely used by Veljko Paunovic and the only real chance Sam Baldock managed to get was when Lucas Joao and George Puscas were both out injured. A reading fan comments "Aluko still has something to offer but baldock is not a championship player. All I can say is Derby must be in a very dark place." And "Tell you what Aluko might not be a bad signing for them if he’s on 10k a week looked decent last season when he came on. As for baldock wouldnt want him if he was on a tenner" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
