CrazyL 2,565 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 So Browne and Bola were part of a shambles of a season but the 8 departures weren’t? Literally no logic to this statement my friend. Link to post Share on other sites

Stubbs was not, and I'm happy counting him as a reinforcement. With that logic we have had 0 departures🙃 Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyL 2,565 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Yep. And 2 in. Hall and Stubbs. So we are doing well. Link to post Share on other sites

Two players who played for us last season don't count as reinforcements given they were already here last season. Stubbs did not play any part last season, he's effectively a new squad member for the season. The 8 departures aren't playing for us this season. Link to post Share on other sites
sambaDTR 260 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Maybe we should not panic as we have a good squad anyway? That’s what other Managers in the League have been telling us for years. The number of times I have heard people say we are underachieving with the players we have. Maybe we just needed a good Manager to get the team playing in the right way and to start winning. Hopefully Warnock is the man. Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyL 2,565 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 So they don’t count as departures then. Because they were with us last season when we were ***. Link to post Share on other sites

May as well count Marvin Johnson as an incoming because he was a free agent till he accepted our contract extension, even though he played the full season. Link to post Share on other sites

And the 8 that has left hasn’t weakened us as they were part of a crap team? If Browne and Bola have improved since leaving then I’ll count them as reinforcements compared to the first 6 months they were here. I’m not sure I follow your logic Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) Ste Walker and Ben Liddle came back from loan too, so we've actually signed 7 players. UTB Link to post Share on other sites

The difference is Browne and Bola left halfway through to improve and by all accounts it sounds like Browne had a good spell at Oxford albeit in league 1. But if he come later back stronger he will be a reinforcement compared to when he was here for the opening 5 months. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't deny he'll improve the squad, I've been the biggest advocate of Marcus Browne on this forum since we loaned him out, I thought we were daft to do it in the first place, but he's not a new signing.

GrimsbyBoro 1,959 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Surely a new signing is just someone who's registration we didn't hold last season and now do and departures are ones we held last season but no longer do. Link to post Share on other sites
