b0ndl1ne Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Didn’t Pete Wild say in a radio interview that Lemsagem wanted to change the dynamic and go for youth. You could say he’s took it to the extreme! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ndl1ne Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Happy with Dolan to be fair. Type of player who could easily be worth something in a few years. No-one else will want the French lads, I’d rather we just blooded our youth and pick up rough diamonds from non-league like this lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Signing these type of players is great for the future, I will bow to you knowledge BP on this lad as he looked shocking against Stockport. Having long term plans for development is wonderful but short term for the this season the squad seems to be bereft of quality. having seen the home friendlies, we also seem to be short of passion, cohesiveness and desire. Things will just get ugly very quickly and having such a negative environment will be no good for the development of these future stars. communication from the clubs leadership is nonexistent and connections with the fans is spiralling downwards. I hope the atmosphere and spirit is better inside the club with the players, otherwise we are well and truly futched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A long term prospect, has something of a young John Sheridan about him in his vision and distribution. Hopefully given the confidence to display his skills (unlike against Stockort) he will be a fine asset. A long term prospect signed on a one year deal...

Hands on Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 And still we need someone to tell all these inexperienced youngsters what to do. The worst possible implication from this is that Marco and Mo are taking a long term view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP - I've seen it alluded to that you are having a bit of influence here. If that's true can you hammer it home that the spine of the team is not likely to be anywhere near good enough and that we need 3 experienced, known quantities or 3 quality loanees in as soon as possible...

Room for a couple of decent additional loan signings before the end of August methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stainrod Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I was a big admirer of Chris Eagles when he was at Burnley, I haven’t seen him play yet this season but he seems to get a bit of stick on here already (surprise). Surely once fit and if the desire is there he should be good quality in league 2, doing a Sheridan type role in midfield for us, I.e. lost pace but not the speed of thought, I think he’ll come good once match fit.

Thats what we said about Baxter and some people about Giles Coke. And that's the major problem he has to overcome, his fitness. I cant get excited about Eagles until I actually see him string a run of games together, keeps fit and have an influence on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_latics Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Shez came to us (via a very brief spell at non-league Donny) from Bolton, who were Championship/Prem at the time. Eagles has come from Port Vale, Ross County, Accrington. Not sure the two are comparable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Half these kids will surely be heading out to the likes of Ashton and Stalybridge, I think the pre season results might have spooked the owners into action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midsblue Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 It would be contrite of me if I didn’t acknowledge the signing of Wheater. Great acquisition and well done to those involved. Fortuitous signing though rather than us being shrewd. It doesn’t detract from the fact that our recruitment policy this close season has been truly shocking. If we have the funds to entice Wheater then why haven’t we done similar in midfield and up front? Also agree that keeping Clarke and adding Wheater would have been immense. Granted pace between them not great but their anticipation, positioning, leadership and steel would have instilled confidence from the back through the team. Hopefully this Egert gets match fit quick. Need a seasoned striker still, a LB and a creative midfielder. Too many kids or inexperience signed to have an immediate impact that’s needed. We all know I’m totally against Lemsagam but I’m open to be proved wrong. Still time today to snare the likes of Lang before FGR - knows the club and some of the players and hopefully can hit the ground running. Sort the team ASAP for this week and sort this FLG feud before the first home game. We may just be able to salvage the season before it’s started.
