Had heard before Friday we were miles apart on personal terms. Fee agreed with Scunny. Hopefully wrong info at my end rather than yours, would like to see a striker come in.

Know a lad who was with him at Blackburn, apparently last one to leave the training ground and worked harder than any footballer at the club, beast in the gym and completely focused on his football career, probably the type who we need, good age and appears to have all the right attributes, hopefully we can get the deal done he would certainly improve us.

Maybe it hasn't happened for him yet, some footballers don't hit their peak till well in to their twenties, look at Mullin at Wrexham prime example 1 in 5 at Morecambe over 3 seasons in his early twenties, did nothing at Swindon or Tranmere in the next two seasons scoring about half a dozen goals despite playing week in week out and Tranmere couldn't give him away, gets a deal at Cambridge as a 25 year old and has scored 77 in 93 since, not saying for one minute he's the next Mullin but as we don't have a million to buy a Mullin we will have to do our best to find one, Shez' plan of buying 30 odd year old strikers made of biscuits probably isn't going to pay dividends. Nuttall fits the profile and on paper is exactly the player we should be looking at, they won't all work but you can see why he has caught the eye.

IanMarshall's Mullet Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Following the apparent underwhelming performances by Rooney (not seen him myself yet) I wonder if the days of signing a player and OAFC fans including myself actually saying “well, we’ve signed a good player here!” will ever happen again…….

This squad is nothing like the one last year or the year before, for whatever reason every single year the players we bring in are shit. Also, Rooney and Unsworth said Rooney is a player who works hard. He looks far to lazy for me, him and Fondop set the tone last night for us. Slow.

oafc1955 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 It is now blatantly obvious to Unsworth that the vast majority of the squad he inherited are individually and collectively nowhere near the required standard. He all but said it in his post match summary that the players are not capable of delivering what’s required during games and I’m pretty much certain a few changes in personnel are pretty much imminent!! We have a few on here blaming Unsworth….FFS shut up!!! We have known full well since preseason that for whatever reason, the vast majority of this squad Sheridan has muddled together are raffle winners. A tweak here and there is not going to make any significant difference, we need new players no doubt and what Unsworth needs is time, and lots of it!! I’m absolutely certain we now have a board and a coaching set up who are more than capable of getting this club back up the leagues. We have endured 30 years of decline the last 5 of which have been the worst in living memory however, the poisonous influence of the Lemsagam’s has now gone forever!!! Off the pitch the improvements have been fantastic where Frank has been a total breath of fresh air, however, the on field progress is unfortunately going to take a fair while longer. With the total backing of us fans I’m 100% sure we will get there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can safely say even now, this will be a season of consolidation and hope it doesn't end up being worse. Unsworth gets as long as it takes, to rid ourselves of the accepted mediocrity we've endured, for what seems a lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritchierich Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I would be quite happy if the entire squad was replaced, in fairness I haven’t seen Rooney play yet and It would be nice to see what Harry V could do but frankly we might as well get some money for him before we completely destroy his career I really can’t make a strong case for any other player…sure, keep Carragher on loan and maybe Hope as he works so hard up front but the rest??? Not seen much to suggest they have the ability or, more importantly, the desire to win many matches If we talk about keeping 8-10 players then isn’t that virtually just the same team as we have now?
