Bobledgersheart Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 6 minutes ago, League one forever said: Not true. Swindon have worked with EFL and put a business plan in place so while under embargo it isn’t as restrictive as ours is. Recruitment has been woeful, but the ALMO’s inability to understand the rules (remember when we signed players on two year contracts that wasn’t allowed. . . ) and their refusal to engage with EFL is a far bigger problem. recruitment can be fixed- if you play nicely- like Swindon. Recruitment can’t be fixed- if you are completely ignorant. FTFY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can people stop using it as an excuse? We have the squad we have because the complete inept recruit of Mohammed Lemsagam. Nothing to do with the embargo. Swindon are 6th. How do you know they are under the exact same embargo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home matches have been pretty depressing for years on end anyway. So I won’t be week in week out either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in my top 100, but we need summat and I’d take anything right now. Him plus a strong mid who the ball sticks too and another striker fast and tricky and can run at the defence. But I think we will end up with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Don't mind a battering ram as Shez puts it, he's probably right on needing a physical presence. But we need goals too, and you don't get a goalscoring battering ram for £800 a week. If Fondop is the battering ram, hopefully we can get a youngster in on loan who knows where the goal is.

We certainly don’t need prospects as we have absolutely no time whatsoever to aid their development. Any players we get in now will go straight into the team and have to hit the ground running.

I know you get stick for wanting physicality @BP1960, but after seeing us for the first time this season on Saturday I have to agree with you. We desperately need a presence in the box to get amongst defences and make something happen. Our forwards are lightweights with little skill to compensate and the Rochdale defence were rarely in trouble. Ideally a big guy plus a poacher, but that's probably unrealistic. Driving south on Saturday I almost found myself wanting Urko Vera back but parking up and banging my head on the windscreen eventually brought me to my senses.
