Gerry Daly Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 No idea Roy I was just being sarcastic really about the fact that we probably cannot now make signings from a 4th division club for the sort of fee that we would have paid in the early 1970's jimtastic56 and RoyMac5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that we can't, or even that we won't. We remain under an enforced business plan that was part of our punishment for entering administration. That's the issue. FWIW, £200k might actually be doable, but the £1.5 million fees, that some have lost their minds over last window, almost certainly never were.

Gabby'sThighs Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Probably been said already but Joshua Onoma would be a good signing. He was training with Stoke in August but no contract announced. 6 month deal seems like a no-lose situation given his pedigree.

Whilst I think he would be an improvement on Smith (and Fornah), he lacks end product. Bird has more goals in his last 2 games than Onomah has in his last 3 seasons.

TomTom92 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Cashin has a 1 year option so Brighton will need to cough up if they want him in Jan. RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Quite a few players at Championship clubs not getting much game time. A few of the better (and younger) options being: LCB - if Cashin leaves Caleb Taylor - 20 years old, West Brom Left wing back - if 3/5 at the back Sam McCallum - 23 years old, Norwich (out of contract in the summer) Nathanael Ogbeta - 22 years old, Swansea (out of contract in the summer) Wingers - assuming 4231 Wanya Marçal - 21 years old, Leicester Borja Sainz - 22 years old, Norwich Malik Wilks - 24 years old, Sheff Weds Forward Reyes Cleary - 19 years old, West Brom (out of contract in the summer) Gabby'sThighs, Dean (hick) Saunders, Caerphilly Ram and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram59 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Nathan Frazer from wolves u21s wouldn't be a bad shout for a loan. 18 year old powerfully built striker, who scores with both feet and headers, being quite dominant in the air. The type of player that we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s been mentioned on here before. He is certainly in the right mould. I think a young, quick forward would partner well with one of our experienced forwards.

Picking up young talent, those with contracts expiring in the summer that “could” be more of a bargain, so we strengthen both for this season but also next and beyond. Wondering who (if anyone) is performing well in this league and league two who may fit that bill and represent a shrewd investment. 🤔 I’ll have to do a bit of my own research Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Daly Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 An 18 year old on loan is no more what we need than any more 30+ players. Anyway we saw how good Wolves U21's are didn't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway we saw how good Wolves U21's are didn't we? An 18 year old who is ready to be a regular starter in L1 is fine and improve our squad is fine. 20 year olds who aren't ready (such as Springett) is the type of player we need to stay clear of. I'd snap your hand off if offered 18 year old Callum Marshall on loan - 16 goals and 2 assists in 10 games is a level above anyone we have right now.

It looks like he's been in the doldrums the last 3 seasons. he could get back on track in L1 if he's motivated. also we have possibly 14 players leaving. I'd swap Smith for him and haven't even seen him play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you distinguish the two types- is it just physical traits that should transcend the level being played at? Springett, in fairness, had 3 PL apps, I think that constitutes some sort of pedigree for a youngster, but then I agree he looked very lightweight (did well at Port Vale (A) though). Marshall doesn't but does have 3 international appearances which is similar. Loans always seem like a bit of a gamble, Mason Mount-esque loans excluded, so is it not the case that often you don't really know whether they'll sink or swim until they're out on loan and thrown in the deep end? angieram and Dordogne-Ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topram Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Desperate for an attacking Mid that will run at defenders like Fornah did today, the rest are so defensive or slow, missed something in that middle for most of the game and season in fact, Fornah could be the answer if he was to prove he could do that from now on but we was crying out for it jimtastic56 and TomTom92 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
