smogsterking the Inspirati 2,490 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) Carayol was a decent player unfortunately had a bad injury and couldn't last a full 90. He'd have been great if rolling subs were allowed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Adomah isnt a bad shout actually, probably the last one There was far more bargains to be had in League One then too. Adomah was a pretty small fee, Toney has just gone for £10m. I think Adomah would cost closer to £5m in todays market as League One teams seem to have realised they can demand more for their top talent. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

When it comes to the in demand players we cant compete anymore, even when we were a big deal in this league we had to pay more to convince players to come here over other clubs. Now we dont have promotion aspirations we would have to pay even more to win players over but we dont have the capacity. But on the other hand we have missed out on at least one player this summer due to the club playing hardball over paultry sums. So we have the worst of both worlds a market that we increasingly struggle in, and a poor set up that cant get what few deals do we get across the lines. It actually mirrors our attacking as a team Scott, by this stage everyone knows you're a troll, so why are we continuing this charade? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Redcar Rioja 5,976 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 9 minutes ago, Old Codger said: we got Ramirez because Southampton were desperate him out of the club and we should have realised that he was a time-bomb waiting to go off when he couldn't even manage thirty appearances over four seasons there...yes, he probably provided the spark to get us promoted...but he was also a huge factor in our relegation after spitting the dummy out ....all he had to do was finish the season for us and he couldn't even be bothered to do that....I know I am very much in the minority, but I would rather we never signed him after the effects he has had....people only remember his good games and conveniently forget the days he went through the motions With Ramirez it was all about timing. We timed it right when we brought him in but didn't realise he had a self destructive "sell by" date which with hindsight we should have cashed in on. He did provide a vital spark and a crucial one in getting us promoted. Perhaps Maddison could be a similar catalyst with the proviso that Warnock manages to get the best out of him whilst realising Leopards don't change their spots and jettisoning at the right time before dragging us back down again? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
A21 106 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 If we don’t bring another striker in I’d go for a 3-4-3 ————————Stojanovic———————— ———Djiksteel——Hall——Fry————— Spence——McNair——Saville——Coulson ———Tavernier——————Browne——— ————————Fletcher———————— 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Or realised that when he had signed his pre-contract with Penarol that he really wasn't very committed to us. Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,327 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Personally I think Djiksteel is going to be very important for us this season. With his injury out of the way (hopefully) I saw a continuing improvement from him in the games he played . I honestly believe that we have a very good player in the making on our books and I hope Warnock brings the best out of him. Going to predict that he will be the highest goal scorer out of defence for us this season giving Spence/Johnson a run. So like Browne we could consider him a fresh signing because of how last season panned out for him 3 Link to post Share on other sites

That is not to say we cant change tact and attract less well known players or find young players and make them better and into exciting players but these rafts of fans looking through players stats or judging on the names are going to be very disappointed Isn't that the case for all Championship clubs though? Exciting players don't come to the Championship to savour the experience. Unless they have an affinity for a club they come for the money. Look at the money other teams have to pay for exciting players; Forest paid 15 mil for that portuguese midfielder. Fulham paid 10 mil for both Knockeart and Cavaleiro who hadn't really done anything in the prem. Brentford get some right but still paid 6 million when they bought Mbuemo i Ligue 2. Leeds paid 15 mil for Costa and 10 mil for Bamford both of whom are no more than Championship standard albeit what you'd probably describe as exciting players. Bottom line is you pay top money for exciting players to come to the Championship unless you are lucky and get someone from lower leagues. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
