DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Also just bare in mind that a lot of the "better" free agents will probably have most of the championship monitoring their situation. And likely to have offers from some of those clubs. So although we've "missed" out on Blackett so have the other clubs interested. Just like we signed Hall ahead of other clubs, who will look at it as if they have "missed" out on him. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeh no one even mentioned that name until warnock said it on talksport 1 Link to post Share on other sites
CWC 383 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Brilliant graphic on Twitter regarding how many minutes our squad played in what positions last season and how long they have remaining on their contracts. It’s really not pleasant reading. Worth a look. Link to post Share on other sites

Friend to Birmingham is already out there, but notably he is taking less money there than he was offered here. Apparently feels it is the right time to move on. I think its actually a good move for everyone even though it always stings a bit when you lose a man like George. On separate transfer news, I've heard Villa are back in for Tammy Abraham and also trying to take Mason Tammy I get but Villa want Mount? I mean even with Ziyech and possibly Havartz that guy is going absolutley no where. He is probably chelseas player of season and guy who Chelsea and Frank Lampard are probably going to build they team around for next few seasons. Villa might as well ask City for Foden and Utd for Rashford and Mason Greenwood. Either a BS rumour or villa are beyond delusional Link to post Share on other sites

So we don't have an actual RM, RW, LM, LW or CAM Wow I wonder why we struggle to create and score, it must be the strikers 1 Link to post Share on other sites
edinboro 804 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 That is a really good use of data. It shows how many players had to fill in in different positions. Noone apart from Fry and Britt played income position all season. Also shows how next summer we could be even worse off squad wise. Warnock short term might just be a really short term gamble.

TLF10 4,440 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Regarding Tyler Blackett. I find it amusing that when we were linked with him people were very meh about him but as soon as he signs for someone else people.are having a breakdown like our entire summer transfer is a shambles. I think forums like these (which i love btw) do accelerate peoples impatience in constantly wanting a signing. It then just comes to the point of wanting a signing for the sake of it just to justify the time we all spend on such forums discussing transfers. Just please be patient and lets not wet the bed every time a player we were vaguely linked signs for another team 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Seem to remember they signed 4-5 year contracts within the last year. Link to post Share on other sites

Most of them seem to have come from transfermarkt, as all of them except Wood's line up with that I think. Fry signed a 5 year deal in April 2018, so his goes to 2023. Tav signed a new 3.5 year deal this January, so his also ends in 2023. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Didn't realise you can submit updates to transfermarkt. Just done that for Fry and Tav. Link to post Share on other sites
Barnaby 954 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 2 hours ago, ManBearPig said: As long as we have enough to stay up this season, I’d rather us assemble a “proper squad” next season when Covid has loosened up the restrictions on the market and for players. I think it’s naive to assume that this window we can recruit a whole new squad which is what we need. I’d rather piece together a squad over the next two seasons, whilst being competitive, and have a real go when we have got the right players in. The problem as the season draws closer in, is we recruit players who we didn’t fancy but felt we had to bring people in just because. We aren’t going to get promoted this season, so why rush to sign players? However, this approach is risky with Warnock as he might not have the time to do it for 3 years with one club? This was one of my main points against Warnock. We’re now at a conundrum of needing to get players for Warnocks style, in a market that isn’t open and the quantity of players is always going to be difficult on the back of that. I don't expect Covid to loosen up in fact the opposite is likely to happen,It will be here for a while yet,after the last few days in the Channel there will likely to be a 2nd spike Link to post Share on other sites
thomas 501 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 3 hours ago, SouthernSmoggie said: Gunter is pretty poor and hardly young. Seen him play a lot for Reading. Couple of Reading fans on their forum did put him down as a special mention when talking about player of the season, one of them explaining he was badly managed not that hes had a bad season so its evident they dont think hes is pretty poor. In terms of youth we are probably going to bring in enough youth players because we cant afford big names in general why not bring in one experienced player in might even become one of the leaders we need in the squad (bare in mind we are getting rid or losing Clayton, Ayala, Howson, Shotton, Friend and Guestede 6 senior players).

TheHolgate 675 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) Some rumours on twitter that Murphy loan deal is closer. Wouldn't believe anyone of them but we will live in hope. Link to post Share on other sites
