Realistic signings (14 Viewers)

[SkyBlueDom26]

Here’s an optimistic and possibly not realistic one - Jordan Ibe. Knocked down a peg, maybe give him the chance to come the championship and star for us. Kind of use us as a stepping stone

Injury prone though ain’t he mate?

Injury prone though ain’t he mate?

still he fits our recruitment model being youngish and out of contract and he would be a really good signing

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Wouldn’t be surprised if one or two of those names became well known on our match day threads nest season

 

[David O'Day]

Jordan Ibe?

Wow

 

[skyblueeyesrevisited]

Jordan Ibe?

Wow

We have our quota of Jordan’s.
Move on

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Jordan Ibe?

Wow

Did say it was an optimistic shout. But he’s not exactly a 150 game player. Who could command excessive wages.

 

[David O'Day]

Yep let's spunk a large part of our budget on a player that's down nothing adn doesn't fit into the system we are going to play.

 

[Magwitch]

Looking at what is a massive list of released Premiership players is mind boggling all been on decent salaries and you can add to them players still on contracts clubs would like shut of, with talk of salary caps in the EFL it’s going to be very interesting how it all pans out, Going to be big changes I reckon.
That Jordan Ibe for example someone has tried to link with us is apparently on £38k a week played 78 games since 2016, scoring 3 goals, is he better than Walshy ?

 

[junglej13]

That Luke Garbutt is apparently on £28k a week and has been stealing a wage for years. He's 27 as well not like he's a kid.

 

[Magwitch]

To be honest I wouldn’t be interested, there are decent younger players about as we have seen with a lot of our lot, I mean £28k for a nomadic player never a chance of first team football is a joke.
Don’t tell me Garbutt is thousands of pounds a week better than young Ruffles at Oxford for example.

 

[Bertola]

Ruffles isn't a youngster. He's 26

I would think in the current climate wages are going to take a battering below the top 6, if there’s talk Burnley were close to the brink, the championship is not in a good plqce

 

[hamil99]

Ruffles isn't a youngster. He's 26

Now don't that just make you feel old.

 

[David O'Day]

Josh Ruffels?

FFS we do like to pine over ex players

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Josh Ruffels?

FFS we do like to pine over ex players

I actually agree with ya why the fuck do we want him

 

[Wiseoldfool]

Not sure if it's been mentioned beore and I've missed it,but O'Hare,Hamer and da costa, have the same agent Wassermann.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Is that a coincidence

 

[Hadji's_Goatee]

Liam Walsh is with them too...

Wasserman - Player agency - Player Agents

 

[Hadji's_Goatee]

Transfer Market values... Hmmm

Liam Walsh
Central Midfield

22 2020 £585Th.

Gustavo Hamer
Central Midfield

23 2021 £720Th.

Are we some kind of Lidl version of wolves?

 

[Hadji's_Goatee]

Are we some kind of Lidl version of wolves?

Lol - it gets better. Luke Garbutt is with them too...

Luke Garbutt - Player profile 19/20

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Do they have everyone??

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

And former Coventry target - Tyler Walker

 

[Hadji's_Goatee]

Do they have everyone??

Hmm, maybe.

Sam McCallum is also with them.

Didn't the agent (Wasserman) basically tell Robins that he was going to move McCallum on anyway (that was at the beginning of the season). I thought it was a bit weird as where could he go without game time whilst under contract. The pressure worked though

 

[jordan210]

Can we all agree we need to sign a couple of Moroccan players to relive the chippo and hadji days

 

[Hadji's_Goatee]

Can we all agree we need to sign a couple of Moroccan players to relive the chippo and hadji days

We need to get back to that Status Quo...

Ere we go, ere we go, ere we go,
We've got Hadji and Chippo,
Here we gooooo,
Moroccan's all over the world!

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Hmm, maybe.

I think that’s absolutely right that that’s the case. I don’t think Robins would be too happy with that for many more players. I also think Mccallum may regret the move, money aside. He would likely have been a key first teamer for us next year and I’m not sure he will be at Norwich. But it was far from certain that we would be promoted, however it was pretty much nailed on they were going to be relegated. This is where agents piss me off, unless they are really good at spotting potential and talent and involved in professional football prior to being an agent. How do they know what is an appropriate level or wage or length of contract. I think it will be an interesting time post Covid where these leeches will find they have to start working to earn their money

 

[Skyblue_CP]

Another one looking at the released list, anyone fancy Oumar Nisse from Everton, potential to bang goals but struggled this season somewhat.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

I don’t think people are noticing the realistic part of the thread title

 

[Terry_dactyl]

I see Sandro Tonali is just about to be relegated with Brescia. Got to be worth a punt!

 

[mark82]

Wouldn't mind Kevin Stewart from Hull. He's likely to be released and Hull will probably be relegated anyway.

26 so nice age. Experience at this level but still room to grow.

Also Wasserman by the way.

 

[Winny the Bish]

Liam Walsh is with them too...

Wasserman - Player agency - Player Agents

Andy Rose was Wasserman as well. I only remember that because his agent live-streamed a game from the Ricoh corporate boxes on Twitter once and got told off on camera by a steward.

Saw his contract was due to expire. Don’t know enough about him but seems a good age and could be an appropriate alternative for Kelly.

 

[SkyBlueCRJ]

A few from the Champ / L1 released list I'd go for:
Anya (Derby) - LB
Lichaj (Hull) - RB
Kingsley (Hull) - LB
Gnaduillet (Blackpool) - ST

 

[hamil99]

I see bothwick-jackson has been released. Jesus, a few years ago he was touted as the next big thing. Now he can't cut it in league 1. How quickly careers can change.
