by RVclaret » Wed Jul 16 Our midfield is so far off as it stands... by ollieclarets8 » Wed Jul 16 Our midfield clearly needs strengthening... Kompany's Burnley team on the last day of the season had Odobert, Cullen, Berge and Larson in it... That's far better than anything we can put out now; we ha...

This sounds like the polar opposite of what we need. I can't see it being true, Parker seems pretty sensible with his signings. Sergeant makes a lot more sense. IMO We need someone with experience up top that works hard and offers something when he isn't scoring goals or getting much of the ball. A...

If we are in for Arokodare, I fear we have used the same scout who recommended Foster and Hountondji. :roll: Yes, he looks to be taller and bigger built, but the similarities in play are remarkable!...

by matttheclaret » Sat Jun 28, 2025 9:49 am I'm not sure we got that much better, from when Esteve signed, we got 12 points from 15 games and conceded 33 goals in that time. So still less than a point per game and still conceding more than 2 a game on average Pre Esteve, we gained an average of 0.5...

The simple fact is if we don’t go up, none of those three will be with us come our first game of next season.

Even if we get promoted, I can't see more than one of those still being with us, if any!... Maybe Esteve for a bit longer if we're very lucky!

1 red card could cost us promotion so no thanks

Constant 0-0 bore draws and lack of goals are already costing us promotion!

BigChaCha

This is a horrifying window for us! The only two players we have signed who could maybe help with the attacking side are Jonjo Shelvey and Marcus Edwards. One of them is a punt, is knocking on, and hasn't pulled up any trees in England for years, and neither has played much football all season. Even...

Does anyone know why we signed Ashley Barnes in this window?... I am staggered that we have not signed a quality striker yet.
