  1. To be fair to our recruitment I think we have had a few good windows even tho they seem to get a lot of stick.

    Out of all the signings this year if say there’s only Silvera that seems below par. but he has come from Auz so we may see a better player next year when he’s had a season behind him.

    Greenwood hasn’t been amazing but he’s young and could improve IF we sign him permanent

    Thomas hasn’t looked great but hasn’t had a pre season with us and a run of games so hard to judge.

    Gilbert hasn’t featured enough to judge him either.

    keepers both solid enough

    VDB looks class

    Rogers was good business

    LLath looks a good find

    Azaz improving

    OBrien showing signs after a run of games

    LB’s both seem more then good enough at this level.

    im confident that we will have a good summer

  2. Danger would be that we sell Dieng and Brynn steps up and makes a few mistakes and the club gets pelters. I think Dieng stays anyway when we get promotion through the play offs.

  3. Wouldn’t surprise me if McNair goes. Suits Wilders system if he is still in charge of Shef U next year. And been no talk of us trying to renew his contract unless I’ve missed something. 
     

    I still like McNair I think he takes a lot of stick (and has a lot of stick if that photo was anything to go by) but think he always puts in a consistent performance. Having said that I think Clarke covers that kind of player.

    Telegraph reporting that Seny Dieng is attracting summer interest from PL and European Clubs.

    I know Arsenal were heavily linked with him during his QPR days and could certainly see them making a move for him if they sold Ramsdale. His goalkeeping style fits perfectly with how they want they GKs to play.

    It’s one of them isn’t it.. how much was he did we sign him on a free if not I think it was a low fee? If we can get good money for him then it fits the model, providing we already have a replacement in mind.

    personally I like Dieng a lot though and would be disappointed if he was sold.

    I Rate Alan Browne , and think he could be Howson successor. also like Hector Kyprianou at Peterborough and Kwame Poku . Thoughts ?

    If we were going to steal anyone from Peterborough I’d like Mumba. Can play winger but would also put in the defensive work or play wingback.

    Was just watching the inside matchday against Blackburn. After Silvera's airkick, Blackburn clear it to Dolan and he has a clear run with the ball. Greenwood spots the danger and takes him down from behind. No messing, gets a yellow card. Cynical but that could have saved us a point. I can't say I'm a huge enthusiast for him but I wonder if an awful lot of what he does is underrated. The game intelligence and willingness to do what it takes is something you probably can't coach.

    I think you may be giving him too much credit. When I’ve watched him he seems to give away a lot of needless free fouls due to bad/clumsy tackles. So may just been one of those

    he just young in his experience for me, chances are next season or 2 if he keeps getting a game for someone you might start to see more consistency from him.

    wouldnt be suprised to look back in 2 years and see people who didnt rate him ask why we didn't pay 1.5m when he nailing the goals for someone else lol

    Yea look how bad Muniz looked on his rate appearances for us

    I was thinking that about an Akpom style player, someone floating around in a prem teams squad, looked promising but now fell out of the limelight. 

    Honestly I think Roger’s was targeted as the Akpom role player. Someone to link midfield and attack and who could also add goals. 
     

    really hope we can pull off some good signings this summer. Also think a few clubs could be in trouble having pushed the boat out, if they don’t get promoted so we could be in a decent position.

    My issue with Greenwood, even at £1.5m, is there is better value out there imo. Prime example being Chris Willock of QPR as a free agent this summer.

    Agree I think the talk of us signing him before was maybe just that we were putting the feelers out to get him in the summer. Might be wrong but I recon we will be in for him when his contract ends 

  10. I’m surprised at how many goals LL has got to be honest. He seems to have good movement and pace but his control and finishing have me questioning if he is ready at this level. Hopefully next season he will be better

    Sheff Utd paid 9 for him up front. If they stay up, they pay the other 9.

    If they don't, Villa pay 7 to get him back.

    So in reality they have paid a £2 million loan fee? 
     

    I wouldn’t be surprised if we hadn’t already enquired with Villa about a deal for him be it a straight loan or a loan to buy if promoted etc. 

    but then there was the article about them not activating the clause to bring him back so would look unlikely to me.

    I’ve kinda enjoyed it tbh, it has been lacking in quality but it’s these kind of scruffy displays I was worried we didn’t have in us. 
     

    Dont forget almost every fan was begging to stop the *** around and do what needs doing. This is basically what you end up with when u go down that route.

    That’s what I’m saying. I’d rather this til end of season and win enough to get in play offs then play well but loose

    You think we're breaking even at absolute best on 2 players that have improved since joining us? 

    Yea, neither have done anything of note. I like both players but don’t think they go for more then that personally but I’d love to be wrong IF we do sell them

    Just out of interest how much would you say McGree and Forss are worth?

    McGree - £6m+
    Forss - £5m+
     

    Would be profit on both players and probably both higher earners too. Would rather keep them, however I’d like to see us sign and out and out winger on both sides rather than shoehorning both of them 

    Think we wouldn’t get near that for either of them to be honest 3 mil each max

    Given that Engel can't defend and Jones was successfully reinvented as a wingback, then Jones at wingback and Forss up top with Latte Lath feels like it puts two of our best players in their best positions while allowing Engel to focus on what he is best at.

    Yea I’d like a 5 3 2 with Forss and Lath

    Forrs wanting out doesn’t really surprise me, he probably sees himself as a striker and wants to play there. Last season he was probably happy to just be playing regular and couldn’t complain about playing wide due to Akpom and archers Form. 
     

    This season he was still played wide watching Crooks in his position and the whole team struggling. The writing is on the wall in his eyes. 
     

    Hes 24 and if he wants to establish himself as a good striker, maybe play prem football he hasn’t got much longer to do it and it’s most likely not gonna happen while Carrick is here. He would consider another season as a potential wide right option from the bench as a waste of time and set back to his career.
     

    Just my opinion on what may be his thought process.

    Yea all hypotheticals but he may think, had he been given the chance earlier in the season he would have been confident of having won us more games by now and be higher up the table maybe even play offs.

    like you say, instead he’s seen Crooks, Silvera, McGree, others start instead up top. Easy to see why he’d be annoyed.
