hintonsboots Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 It’s going to be a busy 2 weeks if we are to end up with a squad that can compete in the Championship. Hope it’s looking sorted before we see Harry. Oldben and Jimbo Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're struggling to shift faces out in the other direction, that'll surely have an effect on the numbers/values of those we want to bring in. I think that is the hold up. I imagine Collins and Barkhuizen are free to leave, especially given Collins didn't even start on Saturday and Barkhuizen being a bit part last season and Cashin is probably the domino that starts it all off for us. I don't think the hold up is the parent clubs unwilling to let a player leave, I don't think we can afford the loan fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly took his time signing it, so it's not as if it was of his making. Why would we be looking to move him on?

He was our top goal scorer last year, we struggled for goals in pre season, Yates was suspended, Washington is broken and Dajaune Brown isn't ready (according to Warne) and Collins was still on the bench with Kayden Jackson, a player notoriously poor at number 9, playing at number 9.

But that doesn't explain why we would want to offload him after just getting him to sign a new contract, and even less why he actually signed it! angieram, LazloW, Comrade 86 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But secondly, if anyone offered anything for him and we have time to replace you take it. He didn’t even start when we have no strikers, he won’t cut the championship.

Why did we offer a contract if we don't want him? We let Sibley go on a free rather than risk signing him on, or even equaling his previous contract whereby we'd get compensation. Yet James Collins we offered a new contract in order to later sell him, a player who is what, 32? Hopefully someone comes in with a £10m offer, but unless @B4ev6is is manipulating the discussions then it just isn't going to happen.

New striker is crucial but I'd also want a tall,pacy left sided defender to partner Nelson-Cashin's pre season form and display at Blackburn have intensified my previous doubts about him( or perhaps its Elder's presence?!) Never thought I'd say this but I'd like Fozzy playing unless we get a strong Left Back in. David Graham Brown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibley was rumoured to be a high earner here and there was competition for his signature and wants to start games. Collins likely had no suitors, wasn’t on much and happy to sit on the bench. Now, I don’t think we’re actively looking to move him on, I didn’t say that. Just if someone is daft enough to offer something, you just have to take it.

Perhaps we should keep our fingers crossed that Citeh , like when they signed Carson to increase the quota of English players, suddenly realise that they need to increase their quota of aging Irish forwards and offer us those £10m 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it would depend on outgoings. 10 left last summer & we have brought 7 in, so another 3 would just get us to the same squad levels as last year but with needing a bigger squad due to a bigger bench i would say the additional 2 to make 12 sounds right. Plus replacements for outgoings.

Eoghan1884 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Do think today showed if we get a striker in we should loan out Dajuane, he has all the attributes to be a very good player just needs some experience and refining. Would love him to go to a MK Dons or Notts county who play good football at the top of league 2. Any team that will guarantee him starts near the very top of league 2 would be good for him.

Like i said in the match thdead, he could do with a loan to a team where he will get game time but has an experienced scorer to learn off. McGoldrick & Notts Co would be good, as wood Sharp & Doncaster or Grigg & Chesterfield Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
