I can't remember him doing well in preseason, he was bang average. No i'm writing him off because hes 28 and been gash at Championship level for the last 3 seasons. If you want to think hes our new savior because of 1 ok performance against a newly promoted side then be my guest. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

What a shocking bunch we are... But we HAVE given it some attention, we signed Marcus Browne. Yes ideally we could probably do with one more, but when you don't have much money to spend, you're limited in the movements you can make. Next summer once most of the high earners (read: Gestede) are gone, we might have more freedom to make further changes. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Rock strongo 23 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Hello oneboro, I feel like some people have been spoilt over the past couple of seasons and are expecting much of the same again. 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. 10 Link to post Share on other sites
SouthWest Boro 26 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 This is looking more and more like a consolidation year. We all want promotion, but we have to accept this may not be the year. It will be good to see some of the youngsters getting game time and experience, which in turn may bode well for us in the future, be it with becoming regular first teamers or receiving good transfer fees. Like anyone, i'd like to see some players coming in still. If need be Keane and Woodgate will have to dust off their boots :) 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Blanco 4,900 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 7 minutes ago, Neverbefore said: All good points. However, it's just just the teams in the top half that utilize the loan market in this league. Pretty mcuh every team uses it. On the flipside of there being no resale value, a loan is a short term commitment. We know exaclty how mcuh it will cost and it wont be any higher. And if it doesnt work out then we dont have the wages on the books after the end of the season, whereas if a permanent transfer doesnt work out we could be looking to shift them for years after. That's never happened to us before though. Has it? ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

How long ago was Aphonzo Alves? Link to post Share on other sites
LBP 3,012 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I must be going crazy but that Gazette article talking about the second coming of Marvin Johnson has gone to people's heads and now we're rewriting history, he was below average in preseason and had a decent first half vs Luton He shouldn't be starting for a team that's banged on about pace, creativity and excitement all summer long Downing and Van La Parra are better players...please hold me to this when he goes missing vs Brentford and is then below average for the next few months Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,711 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Right. About to go do a matinee. When the show comes down, the window will be shut... Can everyone stop panicking so I don't have to read through 30 pages of inane bullshit to see if we've signed anyone? Cheers! ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
