Phils90 14 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Rather than blooding premier league youngsters for them to go on and flourish elsewhere i'm looking forward to blooding our own youngsters, hopefully Walker gets more minutes and maybe Coulson will play higher up the pitch if Bola performs well at LB. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

We all know what the situation with the club and it's finances were before woody started and we know nothing has changed. We've needed full backs for for a few seasons and while we do need wingers we just haven't been able to get them without breaking our transfer policy. That's just the state the club is in right now. This is a longer term project so we need to be patient and take it as it comes.

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I'm not against the idea of signing Frazier Campbell to be honest Fletcher will be needed wide alot we probably do need an extra non gymnast striker. I love our signings but like I said could do with a spare RB and a winger, Spence aint it and Tav just doesn't look great in wide areas. Project Fletch-on-the-wing v3.0 got off to a good start but I need more evidence still like him better as a 9. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I long for the days of selling our best players and blowing the money on s hite. Link to post Share on other sites
estonpidge 1,449 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 If we have cash to spare, come January we may be in a better position to bring in people.... good crowds until then based on good performances will boost the pot and hopefully we'll get some reinforcements in.

He was also at a very attacking team in Sheffield and didn't get a look in. Link to post Share on other sites
ron_manager 17 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 As a long time lurker I would just like to say there are some utter fannys posting with completely unrealistic expectations of what the club can and will spend. For me, this has been a far better window than expected. We finally have natural right back for the first time in 3 or 4 years. We have a fast left back, a new left winger, there are opportunities for youth and young players to shine, we have got rid of some high earners and we have (so far) kept some key players. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

From what I saw would be very happy to see Coulson in a attacking midfield even dare I say it winger role 1 Link to post Share on other sites
FamilyBoro 140 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 The 2 Full-backs will give us much more width this season than we have had previously and Wing, Tav, Browne, Fletcher will play much more direct. I'd still say it's a vast improvement from last season starting team in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites

Damn it MFC how could you do this to a little boy cruel heartless people you! I’d be asking how the parents / grand parents could allow Shotton to be his favourite player myself!!

There are better and less condescending ways of making your point RM within your first paragraph. The rest of the content totally agree. Link to post Share on other sites
