Plus it’s not like I’m suggesting some melt from the national league. These are proven professionals at this level. Dwight Gayle League appearances 2023/24 season 0 goals in 10 games 2022/23 season 3 goals in 35 games 2021/22 season 0 goals in 8 games. 2020/21 season 1 goal in 18 games. 2019/20 season 4 goals in 20 games. Five years, 8 goals, 91 games. Personally I’d probably prefer the “melt from the national league” 👍🐏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G STAR RAM Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 1 minute ago, TomTom92 said: The players I’ve suggested. If you think they’re not good enough then that’s your opinion. Mine is that they would be good enough. My opinion is irrelevant to be fair. The club either think they are good enough, or cannot afford them, and on that basis are correct not to sign them.

Chester40 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 3 minutes ago, TomTom92 said: You questioned my suggestions implying they wouldn’t fit in to the business plan. I’m suggesting that at least 2 of them probably would. Im not savvy to our budget but if we were in for Smith/Gregory then they aren’t on a pack of fags and a mars bar for a wage.

Foreveram Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 28 minutes ago, RoyMac5 said: Really? Like we wouldn't know to budget for expensive 'January' strikers? I think the obsession with 'got to be someone who is better/adds' to the squad or whatever it was is a problem. If we have no striker on Saturday any striker with two legs is better! Last January not getting a striker in was a mistake according to Warne. He's done the same again, waiting until the final hours only to be surprised when a deal falls through.

I could equally use them to prove he's exactly what we need.... errr.. I just choose not to. Old Spalding Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich3478 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 1 hour ago, Ghost of Clough said: I swear Warne (or Pearce?) said we had a long list of CF options. After finding out the wage/fee demands, the list was reduced to just 3 (or 4?) on deadline day. We agreed everything with 1 of them, then at 8pm their manager or owner decided to cancel the move. I don’t doubt there are reasons why we didn’t get someone in. But it was an essential that we did. Leaving it until 8pm on the last day not the best idea maybe.

MackworthRamIsGod Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 2 hours ago, G STAR RAM said: Have you considered there might be a reason we are signing players recently back from injuries? Because Warne has the pull of a tug boat in a wreckers yard? RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Why are people quoting Gayles scoring record and using it as a reason not to sign him? He is better than anything we have got (not that we have anything now) and potentially better than anything in league 1. Chris Martin, CKR, David McGoldrick. None particularly prolific before coming, none too shabby in the end hey! YouRams and TomTom92 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 10 hours ago, Anag Ram said: I don’t think we should underestimate the number of times Collins is there to lay the ball off to our midfield. His endeavour often turns defence into attack. He may not be the most potent threat in the box, but let’s not criticise his general play. Er hang on, I have never criticised Collins play, in fact my comments have been broadly supportive of his abilities within what we have available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the unlikely event this was Jonson Clark-Harris, it would simply have been naive to think MacAnthony ever had any intention of selling to us. So I hope it was someone else. If Collins is really out, then that's terrible news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 6 hours ago, Kernow said: I’m convinced that this is Collins behind Tom Barkhuizen in the training pictures. It’s almost too perfectly lined up. The sleeve obscuring the number on the gloves (why is that a thing?), Barks’ hand blocking the number on the joggers, face out of sight etc. But on the Instagram version, the photo isn’t cut off at the shins, so you can see the boots. Derby’s Instagram feed conveniently has a nice still image of Collins wearing the same boots whilst scoring the winner against Cheltenham. And yes, I do have too much time on my hands. Exhibits A, and B. Who's the child in the bottom left corner? Is Ritchie Barker having a "bring your kids to work"day or is Warney bringing the youth through but has gone too far and dipped into the U12?
