Emerald Isle Rover Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Just now, Wing Wizard Windy Miller said: Agree with this. We need someone quick simply to get us the up the pitch and turn teams round. Most teams play a high line against us because they know we don't have any pace. Khadra got quite a bit of stick for having little end product - yet he was a threat and teams had to sit deeper as a result. So if we got someone lightening quick from league 1 or 2 would we as fans be happy? Godo has been mentioned but fans saying he isn’t quick so they are not for him Like what quick is acceptable lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be something if we signed with an obligation to buy upon promotion, if we then got promoted and paid a big fee for a player we let go for free when we had chances to sell for big money the summer before when the owners refused. Wouldn't have Brereton back. Not achieved much since he left. Can't imagine he'd want to come back either - for him it's like admitting he made the wrong choice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasnt really played since he left but he did well in the Premier League for Sheffield United. He has pace and gives you goals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll actually end up with a couple more outcasts from lesser teams, of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedges/Dolan are slow with no end product. Should be straight forward to find somebody quick with no end product. Mix it up a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post superniko Posted January 11 Popular Post Share Posted January 11 (edited) 1 hour ago, AVE1875 said: Brereton has had 6 goals and 1 assist since leaving us and played for 3 different teams (Villareal, Sheff Utd and Southampton)... Gueye has assisted 6 (albeit 1 was absolutely not an assist and was a complete miss kick that Beck smashed home) and 3 goals. Ohashi, 5 goals and 1 assist... Based on them stats alone, would you take him? Because they're not much different to what we currently have. I'd rather than focus on someone who has a better record than that other than the potential of a one season wonder coming back and trying to replicate the last form he had with us whilst playing with different players, a different manager and a different set up. Major gamble however, is likely pure paper speculation bullshit. You realise he was playing against City, Liverpool, Arsenal not Plymouth, Oxford, PNE? Absolute bonkers statement 6 goals in 14 for Sheffield United in the Premier League, the worst team in the whole league. Lightyears ahead of Hedges and co Edited January 11 by superniko 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJW Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) I think BBD is probably better than anything we have right now in the Front 3 positions that said we all know he has had just 1 good 18 months in the last 5 seasons , but if he has choice between us Sheff Utd and Sunderland I don’t think we need to debate it too much Edited January 11 by AJW 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upside Down Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 BBD is better than what we currently have. This is also the reason he won't be coming here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing about this year is our team spirit. This show pony doesn't fit. He will look cute in red and white. Let him piss off to one of them. 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoversClitheroe Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 The fact we're looking at loans is quite frankly embarrassing. I think BBD is a 1 season wonder personally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair supporter supremo Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) Just really want Gestede(or whoever!) to pull another ohashi out the bag but more speedy🤞🤞🤞 (not necessarily Japanese or david#2) some fella that nobody was expecting and for not a lot of mulla who hits the ground running and can get us over 'the 2nd half of the season hump' that rovers ALWAYS have!

Armchair supporter supremo Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) We could however do with Cantwell earning his (reportedly very high) pay check and showing some end product and less sulking and pissing about with his gloves!

He scored 14 goals in the season after the one you presumably are referring to. That is a very impressive goal tally for a wide player. He also scored almost 1 in 2 at Premier League level in the second half of last season for a side that was terrible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London blue Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Brereton would be a no brainer if he was keen. Doubt he'll fancy us though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cantwell is an enigma. He has clearly got more ability than anyone at the club. I've even been impressed by his workrate tracking back (which I wasn't expecting). Yet he can't seem to put a decent attacking performance in. If you compare characters, there are a lot of similarities between him and Buckley. Both rated highly at a young age. Both with the potential ability to unlock doors and run games. Both seem to have a questionable attitude. Both seem to go missing when it gets physical. Both pick up petulant/stupid bookings. Both have never consistently realised their full ability and probably never will. Cantwell also seems a little similar to David Bentley. I feel there is an element of him having fallen 'out of love' with game. It's still early to write him off given the lack of games etc over the last couple of years. I expect that around March, when it has warmed up, we will see Cantwell have a purple patch till the end of the season.. I'd take a pre- injury Dack over Cantwell any time. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping for him to come more into it second half of the season I don’t think he’s been poor overall tbh I think he needs help sometimes I think he’s a level above some of the players in his thinking when he gets the ball but he needs to adjust to that been poor ish recently but has been sick hoping he can click 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BankEnd Rover Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) If Jed Wallace and bamford came to fruition then this for me would be up there with of the worst transfer windows ever considering our league position. Hopeully Nixon chatting bull. Edited January 12 by BankEnd Rover 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
