Rotherham have denied any contact whilst ITK trolls report a deal is done. we have seen that our best 2 signings so far (elder and ward) IMO were complete surprises. Hopefully the Washington talk is a smoke screen for a more popular striker cool_as_custard and Derby4Me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a true disciple. I am actually being more serious than reactionary tonight, as I do think that Warne is struggling to attract a decent forward. Holidays are over. Pre-season training has started, and James Collins is already blowing out of his arse. NG2Ram and MickD 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, but you would like to think we might be being linked at this point with someone a little more thrilling than Conor Washington. Can’t knock his signings so far. On paper they look sound L1 players who will give their everything. But wouldn’t it be nice to be more confident that we have someone in charge who might be able to pull an exciting rabbit or two out of the hat?

Years gone by I might agree but the club are so tight lipped right now. Nothing gets picked up until it’s literally happening. It’s hard to say. Say we did sign Washington though, I’d wait to see the rest of the window first. i-Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I’m pretty sure that in one of his recent interviews Warne said he was expecting five before their training camp in Spain with more later on.

They have never been my ideal watch. My instincts are no though. I think Warne prefers hard working forward runners, and is happy with keeping it tight at the back, and winning from more set piece manoeuvres. It can be pretty effective, and fair play to him, he has 3 league 1 scalps to his name. But is it pretty? Is it a basis for development. I would argue not.

I accept its early days, and @Srg is right to point out that our transfer business is now a tightly guarded secret, other than to @Big Trav . But the point I raised was how many Warne loyalists are beginning to feel twitchy. Has he the vision and desire to try to get someone into the club who is maverick and exciting, and/or does he have the rep to pull in any decent Prem League young starlets on loan? Are Conor Washington and James Collins actually the kind of players we are going to be relying on this season to entertain us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn’t my initial question though, and it hasn’t been the point I have been expanding on since that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
