juninho9 35 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Andre Bennett injured and says on Twitter "hopefully couple weeks tops". Looks like Atkinson at right back then until we get someone in? Any more news on Lowton? Link to post Share on other sites

juninho9 35 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 That Delort fella has been linked with almost everyone this summer :D Just checked his Wiki, been edited to say he plays for Brentford :D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Delort Says Charlton now! Link to post Share on other sites
Jonny Ingbar 288 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 The question is does AK have AA in his plans or has he bought nsue to play in AAs role. If the latter is the case then we have to accept that AA simply has to leave. I understand that we are trying to build a squad that has two players for each position but we aren't a cash rich club, ans can't afford to have a 4-5million asset sitting on the bench simply because he was top scorer last season. If he is a starter then AK will keep him. If not then we get what we can, wish him good luck and spend the money on player/players that will start Its a cliche that every player has his value, but nevertheless absolutely true. AA was average second half of last season and only rediscovered anything like his early season form in the last couple of games. He's one of those players who seems to get the best from his ability. Of course he's quick, but he doesn't have exceptional pace and I actually think his first touch is at times poor. Anything greatly in excess of £3m represents a good deal for us IMHO, as long as we are able to bring someone else in of course. Link to post Share on other sites
Tudders80 674 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I imagine that if we can cover the cost of JV with the sale of AA then AK will sanction the sale. I imagine the wages of the two aren't hugely different either Link to post Share on other sites
MidleastBoro 30 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Given that we have already signed AA's direct replacement on a free, any money we make on him can be invested elsewhere. If, as someone mentioned above, we can get Clayton, Vossen and Villa right back (for example) with the available cash + AA cash then surely the squad (and first team) is stronger? Which is what you want isn't it Humpty? Link to post Share on other sites

Did we not spend half of last season moaning that we only really had AA and no competition for him? would it not be madness to then go into this season having exactly the same problem but with a different player?

Prowler 197 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Couple of times but Karanka shot that one down by saying he was bought as an attacker. Which then led to people saying 352 :( Link to post Share on other sites
CurtisFleming 86 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Sound. I've not been on here for the best part of a year so I'm out of the loop. Hope you's are all well you pack of ***heads Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,301 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Has anyone mentioned we might have signed Nsue to play right back? It has been discussed, but I think Vickers has made it clear that Nsue is an attacking reinforcement rather than defensive. But if we haven't signed a new right back before next Saturday I think there could be a case for Nsue starting at RB. Link to post Share on other sites

I would say AA carrying the team on his own at times against Nsue being in the same situation but with Vossen, Clayton and Lowton is a very different situation. Link to post Share on other sites
