Handsy Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Ok with pidge Borthwick jackson I’m still not sure and Jam butty I have not got a clue but 3 signings in one day. Is a step in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShireBlue Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Wasn’t amazed by him last season but we’ll see how gets on now he’s permanent. We desperately need to sort the midfield now, and get at least one more striker in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is difference between excited, and a slight sense of optimism that we haven’t signed another from auxerres reserves. It’s obvious we won’t be competing, but at the very least all three are British based and have good knowledge of the league- something we’ve been asking for. .

Ritchierich Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I guess these are 3 reasonable signings but isn't it incredible that a player who can't make it at Salford and a player who Wycombe Wanderers don't think can play at a higher level is where we are now at?! In fairness I think Pidge and Jombati are solid for this league, jury is still out for me on CBJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a chance we could be in the top half with this spine. Remains to be seen for the rest if the squad, and if Kewell gets any signings.

Crusoe Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 We have five decent-on-paper players. Long way to go before I start thinking it’s a worthwhile squad. No midfield yet for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No midfield yet for a start. Modest steps in the right direction perhaps. Securing the brightest talent we had late on last season isn't a daft plan. If Danny is staying (dearly hope so), we have a front two, but precious little in the middle. Start of last season was abject, no attacking threat, so I also fear the dearth of midfield options. I hoped Chris McCann might stay, probably has or needs a better contract offer given his age and obvious ability. Presumably Mo Sylla wanted to go back home, he certainly warranted an offer. Before the Big Dog makes a case for Mouche, our dreadfully inconsistent while skilful midfield maestro, he doesn't have the heart, concentration or maturity to run the game. Credit to Dino for bombing him out of the team, then giving him chances to prove his worth, which is possible, if he works very hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary1906 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Defence looks pretty much sorted now, apart from a goalkeeper of course. In midfield I reckon we need a playmaker, at least one tackler/grafter, and a wide player. Up front we could do with a big target man, if only to use as a plan b. Rowe and Dearnley both only look about 5’ 10”, so can’t see many headers from them. It’s a good start to the recruitment, but it’s only a start.

Rick6742 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Did anyone else see the comment by CBJ on the officials insta post. Clearly signed his deal days ago, not yesterday as announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
