Transfer targets (24 Viewers)

[NorthernWisdom]

Why would we get rid of Cashman ? He played in u21 yesterday and cant be on much.

What's he actually gaining from being here though, and what are we gaining from him being here? A string of failed loans says he won't step up with us, so he needs to go somewhere and build a career for himself. He's not experienced enough to lead younger players and help them improve - he's just a body we're keeping fit.

But im not sure what the plan is with him. As all huis loans have been short

Presume he will just stay to pad out the 21s. With Obikwu and Stretton being around the first team he will probably be needed to fulfill our PDL fixture committments.

 

[long way home]

Both Cashman and Moore might as well not be at the club. Bring nothing and will be offloaded the 1st opportunity Robins gets.

Going to go to the wire isn't it can see one coming I'm tomorrow now, will probably end up overpaying for a player who's team is paying hardball.

 

[Matt smith]

I’d take 2 loans in these positions now

Not claiming to be itk because I’m not, but heard today that we’re looking at Remo Freuler from Forest for the number 8 role. Seems abit far fetched to me. Current vice captain and full international for Switzerland.

Would set us back 6-8m and doesn’t fit the model at 31, so again, sceptical.

No chance and he’s been shite for Forest.

We don’t need to we’re not desperate.

We are.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Rather us get 1 quality than 3 crap though. Too many people seem more bothered about the amount of players than the quality of them

 

[covcity4life]

I thought today was deadline for some reason and was looking forward to an exciting day lol

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

We are.

You go from one extreme to the other. Not helping the CC84 rumours

We’re desperate for signings?
Never said we weren’t, I was referring to getting them done

 

[Matt smith]

I thought today was deadline for some reason and was looking forward to an exciting day lol

I still think we’ll do something

 

[SleepyGinger]

If I had to make up a fake name it would probably be Matt Smith

You’re a wanker

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

I think we’re a little bit desperate, not panicking but not comfortable either, just a decent CM signing at this rate would be fine I think.

 

[Northeast sky blue]

I still think we’ll do something

Or we'll have tried really hard but just couldn't get them over the line

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Reported he is in Italy having a medical

Thats a bit far to go, is he on holiday or something, will take some extra time to get up to speed with the squad

 

[Matt smith]

Well get them over the line

that’s your job

our midfield isn’t good enough

anyone who thinks it is, is delusional

It is good enough though.
sheaf is the best DM in the league, Eccles is getting better and better and will continue to, Palmer is in a good vein of form, Sakamoto looks good, Kelly is a solid back up for an experienced to come on and sit out a game of which we’re 1-0 up or looking to play for the draw. Yes we need 1 more in there but its certainly good enough, and we have Allen and O’hare to still come back

 

[shmmeee]

Mike Oxmells-Grimm from Bath City, needs another look.

He’s been whipped out at every transfer window I can remember. Must be getting on a bit now!

 

[rexo87]

Our current midfield is pretty good tbh. But I just think it needs a bit of help with an extra man and going back to the box. There's no real control with 2 up front imo

This is rebuild year, not panic year. If no deals are done, so be it. O'Hare back soon.

Many said that expectations should be lower this year. So the logic of that is that we will lose and draw where we might have expected to draw or win and performance will be variable.

And the expectation must also be that at least 2 of the new players turn out to be duds. That is just the nature of the game. And curiously, despite the cliche, Robins has no special expertise with strikers - see Clark-Harris, Chaplin, Walker. So lay off Simms.

It needs another quality 6

sheaf and Eccles are good, but we need another option

sheaf is very good

 

[Johnnythespider]

Going to Bologna in a swap deal

Why would he drive to Bologna every day when he could just pop down the M1 to Ryton

 

[Evo1883]

Not sure he's the leagues best DM , but he's a good player .. the midfield certainly lacks creativity which is an issue

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I mean we’ve been pretty much in control of the last 3 games 2 of which were against last years play off teams and one against a Swansea side we traditionally struggle against.

depends where you want us to finish - top 2? Yes it’s not good enough - but Sheaf, Eccles, Ayari, Palmer will be sufficient until O’Hare returns.

 

[rexo87]

Sheaf and Eccles are both 6's. It probably needs an 8, especially if we've decided Ayari is a 10

Yeah to be fair you’re probably right rexo

robins said he wanted a midfielder to manage the transition though, implying a 6

see Ayari seems like an 8 to me

 

[Evo1883]

Sure but he's not the best in the league is he , been no interest from anybody in 3 years that we know of

Just expected us to bring in someone other than a loan to replace our best player that’s all

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

You can’t sell your best remaining player and not replace them. Madness that so many people seem accepting of that as fine.

I’ve always defended Palmer but I wouldn’t call no goals, no assists and being knackered after 60 mins a rich vein of form.
Sheaf is really good as a holding midfielder, Eccles is good at the simple things and getting about the pitch. Neither of them produce penetrative passed in the final third.
