We've got Jack Aitchison on a free and I think it's a little early to start calling him a "flop". At least give the kid a fair chance. I agree that we need players who are going to improve the side immediately but that doesn't mean we shouldn't still be looking at getting players in who can potentially improve the side in 6 - 12 months. We can do both and if the club wants to continue progressing then it needs to do both.
I'm talking about the amount of strikers we have signed in recent years that have failed big time. Schmidt being another.
you don't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket ,this lad game is just like Cauleys in clips I have seen,we not got money to buy a marquee signing we cant pay the wages they want
Can you explain to me how both Jack Aitchison & George Miller have turned into expensive flops ? Also why are you dissing Kyle Joseph , you have listed him as a costly flop before he has even signed if indeed he does sign . Just out of interest , did you write Callum Brittain off being has he was costing us money & was coming from a lower division one club ? , if so , why ?
I'm on about the striker position at our club and our recent success. Aside from Cauley we dont have a great record in recent years.
I agree. Striker seems to be the one position we struggle to get decent signings for. Apart from Woodrow there’s been no one decent since Winnall 5/6 years ago.
Ryan Hedges Stevie Mallan Stefan Payne Elliot Lee Jordan Green Mamadou Thiam Patrick Schmidt Elliot Simoes George Miller Conor Chaplin Dominic Frieser Mike Bahre Luke Thomas Marcel Ritzmaier Strikers/attacking midfielders who have all been here since around the time we have had Cauley Woodrow. Plus of course Brown and Moore. However the income from those two hasn't been reinvested on better quality replacements in my opinion.
And yet they have a young lad in Dembele who holds all sorts of records including a debut at 15 years old, leaving in Summer on £800 a week. That 18k includes 2 players on £72k and £59k respective take them out the average plummets significantly. Out of a 63 man squad only 18 are on more than £10K a week. If I was Joseph I’d be looking hard first.
Am I really? Plenty of sites out their with salaries on for each club, feel free to do some research.
