Obv he needs to receptive to our approach and hopefully sensible deal offer. Not saying he should start every game, far from it but he can comfortably play on either left fkanks. Think he would be a good addition. I think we missed the boat on Adomah. Last summer was probably the ideal time if we were to go for him. I think at his age we would need to offer very low wages to make it worthwhile. Although if we did somehow get him on a cheap deal it would at least give us some cover and experience in a position we have next to nothing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mendieta420 1,008 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 No thanks.. if we wanted old cover we might as well have kept Downing. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

If downing had Alberts numbers in last few seasons (goals and assists) i would happily have kept him. I dont think we should look away from a deal simply because a player is a certain age or an ex player. I think each deal should be judged on its own merits. If a player can still make a positive contribution and it makes financial sense then go for it imo. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I know we all want the top signings but I'm genuinely excited for seeing what we are going to be this season. For the past however many years we have bought players and it's not really worked. New direction all together so for that I am happy! I've been wanting this for years. Link to post Share on other sites
whitefeather 13 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 So you are happy for us not to be signing our targets ?. That seems a strange way of looking at things. You've been wanting this for years ? Link to post Share on other sites

We want to get our targets in, but there's little to gain in being held to ransom even over proven players, let alone young ones who represent a risk. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,191 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Still essentially does us no good if we get no Players in. We’ve been strongly linked to Becker and koroma so far and both have gone elsewhere, I can imagine they were high up on our list since we were linked pretty early on.

Plus, getting linked with a player early has no bearing on how high up the list they are. Koroma might have been made available say, a week or two ago, and we registered our interest just to test the waters. Becker I think probably was a target, but we won't be the only club that misses out on players this summer. Link to post Share on other sites

I was told he was off to either Lyon or PSG as he and TP never got on. It could quite possibly of changed under woodgate to be fair and hope it has as he has a bright future.
