Juanjo15 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 4 minutes ago, Gulf Jambo said: 2nd half of last season we only had 1 striker. Now we sign more suddenly its a bad thing... Sammon will be gone. Presuming we play 2 up top, 4 strikers is the basic number. WIth Currie & Keena as backup, either in the reserve league or on loan It was shocking that we got ourself in a position of having 1 striker last season it’s never a bad thing to have more options. looking at the situation this boy is coming to play and not just be a squad player as he’s turned down other offers in his counties top league. I think he will be first choice, I’m hoping of 2 with Lafferty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no evidence whatsoever other than its reported there is interest from elsewhere I very much hope he is here next season. Hopefully via an extended contract This place is ****ing unbelievable these days. If you express an honest opinion you are rounded upon I apologise if my opinion has had a profoundly de-stabalising effect on the club **** sake Do you have small hands Spencer?

Looking at who played for us last season we have lost 6 loanees (A Smith-Browne, Skinny, Mitchell, Naisy, Randall and Adao) with no certainty of any of them returning. One way or another we have punted Walker, McGhee, Hamilton, Buaben, Nowak, Stockton, Grzelak, Petkov and Goncalves.

I suspect it is a job that will have to be done incrementally if we want to keep a financial rein on things. If we were to sign 4 higher quality players instead of 8 lesser quality we would have to pay them much higher wages, which could cause division in the dressing-room and challenge team spirit. There is also the question of injuries. If 2 of these 4 were to sustain injury like Brandon, Djoum etc last season that's half of our budget blown on sidelined players. I'm afraid there's no easy answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
