Bobledgersheart Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Saw brief glimpses on Saturday from Vera but not enough to warrant inclusion in our talent bereft team. He's not even proved nuisance value yet as he has no physical presence whatsoever. I'd much rather see Azankpo paired with Wilson or Adams. At least we'd have a bit of pace up front.

Or the club is being prudent in committing to wages given the financial constraints a league 2 club faces, especially one in Oldham’s previously precarious financial situation.

With 5 million of debt wiped and the promised better budget you'll have to forgive me for feeling a little underwhelmed with the summer recruitment.

Maybe the ones who only arrived this season should get a chance to be shit first....Azankpo looks like a handful and seems to love it here.

The only reason to be prudent would be if we were planning on being in the Conference next year. We should be aiming for promotion to L1 where we’d be able to afford the wages and if we don’t get promoted then we should still be able to afford L2 wages in L2.

That makes sense for a club in sound financial footing. But for one in OAFC’s situation, book needs to balance if sustained progress is to be planned. No???

In fact, 2 year contracts work out cheaper as you don’t have 2 lots of signing on fees. This is sounding a bit like not being able to afford promotion to the Championship, Barry.

wiseowl Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I don't like the level of personal insults aimed at some of our platyers; it's uncalled for, no matter how poor they are. The blame, ultimately, lies firmly with the owner. In light of the poor squad we have, it is vital to play square pegs in square holes; e.g. Nepo is effective on the LEFT. Mills should be right full back. Maouche is more effective as an attacking midfielder. Just getting these basics right might help. For me, on latest showings, I`d prefer Hamer to partner Wheater in central defence rather than Stott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 If we're paying the going rate for the level we're signing players from we should be able to take a few relegations on the trot without worrying about the budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruitygoo Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 The way I look at it is would anyone else take them if we let them go... Missilou / Nepo possibly could see them being picked up at 2nd / 1st division and potentially mouche if a team played in a way that suited. After that Vera - Dont think he'd get in a conference side Sylla - plenty of English lads at conference who could do a similar job Branger - very little effort dont think any league side would even give him a trial Omrani - now playing 2nd division Romanian football in front of 300 people Placide - not signed for anyone Kyeremeh (if he was AL) - 4th division amateur football in belgium De La Paz - no better than most teams 2nd/3rd keeper in div 2 Benteke - nobody picked up says it all... For me, any other league two side who had these on trial would have shipped them straight out. I dont even see glimpses that say they're worth taking a punt on. Two have two / three 'successes' shows that this just isn't working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
