The one thing clubs don't want is players, with genuine value, walking on frees. It's financial suicide.

Yup, probably why Adams isn’t afraid to insinuate he wants to stay, as he can claim it was out of his control that he was sold…! I still hope he signs a new contract though.

FarehamSaintJames Posted 17 May, 2023 Author Share Posted 17 May, 2023 I think anyone assuming we’ll make money of the likes of Lyanco, Sulemana, Onuachu, Djenepo etc needs to give their head a wobble. They’ll likely be loaned out due to their high wages, and shipped off abroad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the point more that if they hadnt vastly overspent, they may not have beaten us? We lost 2-1 in gameweek 9, still had Ralph as manager and had we won that, potentially we would not have sacked Ralph and been in the state we are now! Their 2 goalscorers that day were McNeil and Coady, 2 signings from this season, when within the rules they probably shouldnt be signing them. One of the goals assisted by their 30 mil signing Onana, who they almost certainly shouldnt have been able to afford! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dman Posted 17 May, 2023 Share Posted 17 May, 2023 Way outside of our reach now, but it’s clear we need a striker. I’d like for us to look at players performing across European top leagues rather than the championship. Really like the look of Vangelis Pavlidis, currently at AZ Alkmar. Pretty quick for a bigger lad and can finish. would expect to see him in one of europes big leagues fairly soon. Would have had more chance in January, when we wasted £18m on that fucking donkey Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I watched his youtube videos there seemed to be a shed load of absolutely unmissable tap ins from two yards. He didn't look very clinical. Lots of scuffed shots and times when he should be smashing it in, but he dithered and somehow still had time to score - kind of getting away with it. There were some decent headers and a few decent goals, but I can't say I especially liked what I saw or thought we had a good one on our hands.

Play the player not the narrative. His first touch is not shit he's played some delightful balls with his back to goal and to be honest we dont know what we have as this team is so shit, selection inconsistent so he gets 15mins every now and again and we have the only players in the league who have a geninue wookie on the team who then refuse to cross it in. If we move to a possession heavy approach he doesn't have to run as much and improves his endurance after only 5 months in a new league then i think he can be a player, if we stick with high press then its a no. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
