No need to announce anything really, it's hardly going to add 5000+ to the gate when we announce Davies, Jagielka & Ravel is it, and the less Huddersfield know about who we have available the better.

BodminRam Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Did i read that right from Nixon... if no players signed b4 KO and we field the kids, that means they are professionals, which means that takes the place of the 4 players we could sign dcfcreece1601 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashin would take a spot up if he plays for example, but the likes of Buchanan already count towards the total. BodminRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still thinking we will get all of this sorted even if we start the season with a thin squad.

We can cope with a thin squad for a game or two by the way If we sign no players we go into the season with two players who can play CB: Cashin, who has no senior experience and even if he's ready will he be ready to play 46+ games? Fozzy, aging LB who again has had his share of injuries. Lose either of them to injury we have no players that can really play CB. Not sure even the u23s have some established CBs currently as we released Wassall this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure even the u23s have some established CBs currently as we released Wassall this year. I think the argument is that if we have an opportunity to open up our transfer prospects very soon, it would be silly to snap up all of the trialists blindly if we believe we will be able to do better very soon. In that case it is worth not signing them and struggling for Huddersfield and Salford but getting in better quality players shortly after. Unfortunately, I can't say I agree. We need players. There's no point messing around gambling on if we can make some "proper" signings towards the latter stages of the window, we need bodies in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure even the u23s have some established CBs currently as we released Wassall this year. I know what you're trying to say but Cashin has only played 7 games at U23 level. Solomon already has 10 and JBrown has 38 (at least 10 at CB). JBrown is also the only one of the three with first team experience, albeit as a late sub coming on at RB and DM.

Not sure even the u23s have some established CBs currently as we released Wassall this year. I know and if we were facing a whole season like that it would clearly be hopeless . What I am saying is: the discussion w the EFL about accounts could easily be resolved. The problem is, we can’t just cave in, because too much turns on it - possible points deduction and FFP headroom. So we may be wise right now to stand our ground so the EFl can see we’re prepared to open another dispute with them if that’s what it takes to get a fair result. yes it could mean we’re very weak for the first match or so, also that some trialists might walk. But if we don’t sign players today it’s because the club thinks it needs to stand up to the EFl on the accounts issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
