We have a centre forward... his name is Max Biamou

You mean 9 goals in 54 appearances Max Biamou?! Wow, very exciting indeed.

To be fair a lot of those 54 appearances were bit part ones either subbed or came on for 20 minutes or so.

Max has qualities but let’s not pretend being a prolific goal scorer is one of them.

He won’t be available until at least halfway through the season

3 league goals in 22 starts all in a lower division

Proved you and your expert views wrong at the back end of last year.

No he didn’t - you can’t build a career on one game.

 

[mark82]

So where in this league has he proved his finishing?

Also he’s nowhere the near the player Thomas is

No, but he's young and signed as a development player. Only the management will know how close he is to being ready. Sure they'll plan accordingly.

 

[Magwitch]

Hardly played yet but looks like he’s written off already. We can’t sign established players with the restraints our owner puts on team building unless loans, youngsters who are a bit of a gamble or the likes of Max Biamou from non league.

We’ve signed loads of “established” players for fees - what are you on about?

 

[Magwitch]

Loads ? Who are they then in this present squad and don’t give me Chaplin or Hiwula please, I’ll give you Bakayoko just about and Brown perhaps no fee involved though

 

[Ricketts]

The Bradford player Sean Scannel looked like the type of player we could do with. He will be on League two wages from now on, and has played for Robins before.

But I agree keeping MR is the main thing.

Burge will continue to improve, as will Max and Baka.

So Doyle, Kelly, Ogogo and Brown weren't all established players? Granted Ogogo and Brown didn't feature much but they were both in a play off team past season, Ogogo being the captain of said team.

Hiwula is 24 and has played 170 league games

 

[Cranfield Sky Blue]

And don’t forget Julian Gray!!

Chaplin 100+ first team appearances and Hiwula 100+ games at L1 level, better goalscoring record than McNulty at this level as well. Clueless.

 

[Nick]

I think the mistake people are making is assuming that Magwitch has a clue who Hiwula, Chaplin, Brown and Ogogo are.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

JCH wages freed up for this summer aswell

 

[Cavan O'Doherty]

I'm already looking forward to next season. Assuming the rumour that Sky mentioned today comes true I think we've got a good foundation to build on. Other things like an early sale of Callum Wilson will really help our cause during the summer window.

From conversations I've had there is apparently a striking target which is all but a formality that will score goals. No names or anything at this point though.

Would love to keep Bright in some capacity more than anyone, we're just a much better team with him at number 10, seems to really bring the best out of our striking options.

Burge can go as far as I'm concerned. Clearly lacking in confidence in his own ability. He's a good shot stopper, but there are good shot stoppers that play at any level, including Sunday league. What's the situation with Christy Pym at Exeter? He's meant to be good.

I imagine the player in question is out of contract then. Anyone think of any names?

John?

And what fees did they cost then ?

 

[shmmeee]

All this talk of needing a goal scorer:

Hiwula: goal every 236 mins (<3 games per goal)
Chaplin: 253 mins (ditto)
Baka: 216 mins
(Bright: 220)

Over a season that puts all of them in the high teens.

For Sunderland:

Maja: 118
McGeady: 219
Grigg: 278

Most of the others well over 300.

I don’t think it’s the massive issue we think it is. Most of those four barely played first half of the season or were young players settling in. If we can get loanees of a similar quality to Bright and Thomas I think we’ll be OK.

We desperately need a commanding GK though. To the point that I’d spend the entire budget there if I had to.

I reckon we’ll get a couple of young RBs like we’ve done for LB this season. Beyond that (GK/RB/AM/RW) I think we’re OK. Hope to see a couple come through the academy at CB and at the top end of the pitch as well.

 

[shmmeee]

And what fees did they cost then ?

Ogogo at least was a six figure sum.

 

[Nick]

I know the ain’t gap toothed g—-s my racist quoting friend

Getting a bit desperate? It's a bit embarrassing really.

At least you must have had a brief to focus on a comment because I said gypo.

Anything to distract away from the fact you pipe up and have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Apparently Willis to Luton is a done deal

 

[Magwitch]

Slip of the tongue eh! It happens I suppose

 

[cc84cov]

Source ??? Any fee mentioned ???

 

[Evo1883]

Whatever happens , robins has put together competitive sides in both seasons so far , I have no reason to believe next season will be different

In terms of a striker , we really should look at Norwood at tranmere

 

[cc84cov]

Takes luck to get it right first time off probably second too I feel if we can keep the core of what we have and add the right recruitment this time round promotion could well be on next season priority is signing bright

 

[Nick]

The same as making charity bets while giving it the big one and getting found out and going back on it?

It is far too obvious when people try too hard because they slip up.

 

[Nick]

Makes sense from this as well if it is Luton

 

[cc84cov]

I know Dawkins I’m gonna message him now,I think not having a ground secured didn’t help when the contract was first offered.
