    This Summer

    Much as I would love for us to be proactive and get some signings in early this summer I really feel that we will be near mid August with only 1 or 2 signings and maybe 5 or 6 departures leaving our already small squad in deep trouble

    Yep seen it all before, every Summer we are the same, waiting for every other team to do their business first, picking up the better players available and we are then left with the scraps at the bottom of the barrell! While we remain without a pot to p!ss in, I see nothing different in our transfer policy again this Summer! So frustrating! Frees, loans, out of contracts is the best we can hope for paying no fees and selling our ‘best’ players! It’s gonna be a long hard struggle next season again!

        with the loanees leaving
        Amos, Balogun released along with the others

        what i would do is this

        Sell Dieng and Archer
        Sell Willock
        Sell Dykes
        opt to let JCS leave by mutual consent

        with the money situation would prob reluctantly have to sell Field to finance the incomings

        1. bring in a right back (someone like the Lincoln player would be ideal) our 2nd highest signing of close season 500k- 1million?
        2. bring in 2 central defenders (1 maybe on loan) ive a feeling the other might be a Wycombe player
        3. a new keeper (even on loan if money is tight an experienced reserve keeper of a prem team would be ideal) and have Walsh the backup
        4. bring in 2 centre forwards and have them compete with Chris Martin (ive a feeling Sam Vokes at 34 from Wycombe will be 1 GA is looking at and will be cheap) the other ive no idea but will be expensive 3 million plus.....would then make the decision to let Armstrong go out to league 2 or 1 on loan for the season
        5. try and bring back lowe on loan but use as a winger or a option at number 10
        6. bring in a ballwinning leader in the middle of the park like Joe Allen at swansea and make him captain and at Allens age wont be expensive signing but will be bigger wages

        so 8 players 8 including the 3 loans wouldnt have more than 3 loans max as i would want this to be as much our own squad as possible

          Why?
          On the few occasions he's not injured, he clearly can't be ar5ed to put in any effort.

          He's exactly the sort of player we DON'T want.

              i like him hes young got pace knows where the goal is

              supplied Martin with the goal that kept us up

              think his attitude came across bad because of the chaos behind the scenes

              i would grab him again also hes a local lad.

              didnt really notice many injuries either

                the guy was probably the worst of our loans and i include roberts in that.

                he was clearly not interested in being there - and one moment one cross does not make him a success.

                3 goals and 2 assists in 20 games

                he knows where the goal is but just doesn't know how to get there.

                poor first touch

                his attitude came across as bad because it was. what was going on behind the scenes was the same for the whole squad.

                Also just because your local doesn't give you the right to be in the team.

                  It's going to be much harder to secure the kind of loans we've been used to with GA at the helm, given the reputation.

                  It may work in our favour as we are forced to look at different angles, rather than up and comers, who tend to be a bit lightweight.
