[SkyblueDad]

It’s a difficult time to sign players especially permanent ones apart from ours needs now MR has to judge new recruits for the next couple of seasons too.
Don’t know a lot about him but this Sinani fella apparently did okay last season in a decent Huddersfield side

Look, based on the past 30 years, King will be a shit owner, but lets at least give him a chance to prove that first.

Very wise man

 

[shmmeee]

Your "that guy" aren't you? The one that I always end up sitting near .... "Your shit Palmer" fuck off Palmer" "get Him off Robins you don't know what your doing "

Palmer scores ..... "Brilliant player him, always rated him" "there's only onnnnneee Mark Robins"

As if he goes to games

 

[Hoofhearted]

Your that guy who thinks we should get ponticelli back

Jordan Ponticelli

On loan to Wrexham. Looks a much better fit than Tranmere ever was and (hopefully) a chance to bag a few goals and starts TRANSFER: Jordan Ponticelli joins Wrexham on loan

www.skybluestalk.co.uk

goals will come for him, clueless

Where does it say I think we should get Ponticelli back shit for brains?

You've just said in this thread that u hope Palmer is kept away from the team by a new signing we aren't gonna get because we are skint?? Have a little thing about what your saying helmet

 

[Hoofhearted]

"Youse" wow it's Shakespeare reincarnated

 

[Hoofhearted]

Who’s Andrew Marr? When did we sign him? I never said we was gonna sign that lad from Norwich I said Hopefully, as I don’t rate palmer. It’s facts that we won’t sign him as we won’t be able to afford it

Ok so are you saying that we won't sign anyone before the end of the month? If so would you care to make a little bet on it

[Yorkshire SB]

what gives you the Idea that we have cash to spend. Have you not seen any of the interviews of late

Well you'd think Gyokeres and Hamer are leaving - and the former for a decent fee

 

[Yorkshire SB]

When Bury were doing that, people were saying that's what we should be doing.

Is it more of a risk to buy a high-quality, young player for a decent fee and stick them on a four year deal, or sign a 29 year old on high wages for a 3 year deal?

Hamer and Gyokeres were signed for £1m+ and both will go for a lot more.

Spending money doesn't definitely = being irresponsible. If the recruitment is sound we'll get more right than wrong.

Anyone can go back through old posts

hi boosh, bye boosh

I think it's riskier either just buying youngsters or just buying experience. You need to do a bit of both.

If you jut sign experience you're not going to get transfer fees etc to reinvest and you're constantly just using other income to cover wages and when they need replacing every few year you're looking at frees as you can't afford to pay for anyone.

If you just sign youngsters you'll have the inevitable up and down performances and the uncertainty over whether they'll make the grade. But those that are successful could provide funding for numerous transfers.

Personally I'd say 1 experienced player for every 3 promising youngsters.

Yeah 100% correct, I was just playing devil's advocate. If we don't invest, or take some level of risk we'll go sideways/backwards

Depends on characters really. We could do with two or three older players who are good with the team around that we could likely pick up on a free. Usually a CB, GK and one other. But for example I wouldn’t have Kelly in ahead of Hamer or Sheaf because he’s older and more vocal. Some of it needs to be signing more vocal younger players as well.

Right now we’ve got Moore, Wilson, Fadz, Kelly, Godden all over 30 and Bidwell, Rose, Dabo, Allen (and Hilsner lol) all over 26. So there should be enough experience around but just maybe not the right characters.

Goes to show we really lack leadership on the field. Wilson isn't really all that experienced for his age although he's a character, Kelly and Godden are consistently out of the side, Dabo the same, Hilssner isn't even worth discussing, Rose just isn't a leader and I wouldn't exactly call Allen one either although I barely notice him at the best of times.

I can't really think of anyone out of the other consistent starters who really rallies us as a team either.

It's no wonder why we often look all over the place since McFadzean has been injured.

O’Hare does his fair share of geeing up because of his personality. Bidwell talks a fair bit. But you’re right we just lack leadership throughout.

Andy Turner hits back at critics!

Yeah I would've mentioned O'Hare as he's also a character but obviously he's out for the foreseeable.

Bidwell is probably the only one in the team currently that is constructively vocal. I wouldn't really count Wilson to be honest as he's just gobby.

Wilson is shockingly quiet for a keeper. Still can’t get over watching the wall look to him for guidance and then just giving up and doing it themselves a few games back.

He sometimes shouts. But ultimately he isn't anywhere near good enough or experienced enough, and perhaps most importantly doesn't have the brain to be capable of such a task.

Dabo does as well actually TBF, you could hear him shouting "Out" to pull the defensive line up the pitch when defending a diagonal ball

Shame he cant do anything else isnt it

Well that's nonsense isn't it? He's clearly a decent player struggling with injury / confidence / form. No need for the vitriol.

I thought it was pitching outside leg stump to be honest

No its not, its the view of a lot of the fanbase nowadays the blokes past it and has looked pants since halfway through our first season back.

Cant take a man on, cant assist, cant win a foot race i could go on

Did you read my post? I swear the Forest game where he kept £20m Djed Spence in his pocket was 9 months ago

With respect FP, one swallow doesn't make a summer. As much as I'm a fan of Dabo he's been woefully inconsistent for a while now. His fitness is becoming a pretty significant issue as well.

He's been a great servant but if the club is to move forward he needs to be let go in the summer.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

How long has he been struggling for? He's been a poor player in our team for the entirety of this season, and the majority of the last. That's when he isn't injured. Come on, you're clutching at straws here.

While it may be true that it's time to move on I just find the abusive language embarrassing, why are people so bitter?

I was lumping leadership in with experience. Of course whoever those players were they would need to be adding more to the team than just that though. For example, I wouldn't be playing the likes of Kelly even though he's one of the leaders. Similarly if Fadz was only being a defensive organiser but was himself getting caught out all the time then it wouldn't be worth playing him, but thankfully he does still have more to his game.

Of course you should be looking for it in youngsters as well in the hope that one or two will go on to become the leaders as they gain experience, but I wouldn't be turning away a decent looking young player jut because they weren't showing signs of leadership.

judging by the standard of his reporting he does just make it up or steal it from here

hi andy

Yup, whether or not he moves on, he does not deserve that, he's done enough to earn some respect.
