jimtastic56 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 WBA have just paid half a £ mill for Thomas-Asante a striker who has scored 26 goals in 100 games for Salford. Where did they get him from ?Ebbsfleet . There are strikers out there waiting to be scouted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Daly Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 We need to be able to pay transfer fees, even if they are small ones to sign players from clubs like Ebbsfleet. But you are right there will be young players at clubs lower down the pyramid who could do a job jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then said last week that he is confident that by the end of the window we will be where he wants us to be. Now he has said 2 names are close, he is trying everything he can to get us where we need to be but there are no guarantees. If its true we have enquired about Gregory and then Jutkiwicz, I'd say we are doing our age old tactic of ringing every tom dick and Harry in desperation to see who they have available.

I'd say we are waiting for our maim targets then working down a sensible back up list. Think Oko Flex was a first choice but he's gone to Swansea so we move onto the next. None of our transfer business has appeared desperate so far this summer. RamuelLJackson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine it's tough with players like Oko-Flex because they're clearly waiting for Championship teams if they can get them. Probably why it's taking until the last minute.

Anag Ram Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I thought we were waiting for young players at premier league clubs who should have a better idea of their chances of playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite agree, our transfer business has been top notch to be fair. I just wonder how much of an influence this analyst was that Rooney nicked off us, is it just a coincidence that things have dried up significantly since he left? I'll add, if we did get jutkiwix I would be very happy, I've always rated him, yet never once spelt his name right.. Jewkuvics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want decent Premiership loans they usually come with a guarantee of playing time. I'm not against that in the right circumstances but I also think that older players are more realistic about their chances of being first choice. As with most things it's about balance I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be concerned if we didn't have a list of multiple targets and fully concentrated on just the one, then eventually didn't get him and had no time for others. I'd assume for every position we're recruiting for or for every player signed they have countless others ready and waiting. Gregory or Jutkiewicz would definitely strengthen us and score goals in this team. Both proven at the league above and plenty experienced to pass on their wisdom to the kids.

Ramarena Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 It’s interesting that we’ve gone from saving the club and only having 5 senior players……… To fretting that we haven’t yet bought extra players in on the last day of the window………..all in the space of a month or so. Shows what a fabulous job our new owner and staff have done in such a short time. Long may it continue! RamuelLJackson and rammieib 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
