The lack of news/updates on him coming out from the club would seem to confirm this, along with what a few posters have said on here about him being properly crocked 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Our squad has looked paper thin with very few options to come on off the bench and change a game. Over a 46 game season you really need to have the options available to rotate when needed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
FinallyRegistered 91 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 So it looks like we’re in for: ST: Sporar RW: Van Bergen LB: Bennett/Brown/Bidwell (personally I think it’ll be Brown because NW will want to continue his journey based on the comments in the Gazette about Brown). Then… 1 more attacker if Chuba goes. Could be a free agent with a bad scoring record, could be Dompe, could even be a Flamengo player. Link to post Share on other sites

It wouldn’t be a shock if he picked up knocks and strains that mean he’s unavailable at times. Plus, it’s unlikely that he’ll keep up his current rate of an assist per game (ish). We don’t want to be playing someone out of position if he’s unavailable Jones is 22 years old well past puberty so his body will be fully developed, he has been playing Men's football for Tooting & Mitcham prior to coming here which is fairly robust to put it mildly. That said we do need back up but I thought Ameobi was going to be the main man with Jones his back up. Surely if Ameobi is getting back to fitness then we shouldn't need a back up for the back up.

SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 We're not in a position to turn down a good winger if one is available for a fair price, imo. Jones is the only solid option right now and it's a lot of pressure on his shoulders. Van Bergen hasn't even signed, let alone settled. May get the Payero treatment if he does sign. Tav and Watmore are good players at this level but are semi-crocked and rarely able to play for long stretches. Spence I don't really count as a winger, but can fill in as a backup. Ameobi and Browne are crocked and jury is out whether either are good enough for the first team anyway. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

It’s not really about his age, more the demands of full time training and the intensity of the Championship compared to the Isthiman league and training part time. I rate Jones, but I think we need depth out wide. If there’s a chance to bring in a quality winger then I think we should go for it and have some competition for places. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

KeithLambsFaxMachine 727 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Can I just point out that after all these years, we now have people commenting that "Maybe we have too many wingers?" What a time to be alive! 1 9 Link to post Share on other sites
