Bow,SG and JJ are really up against it arent they. So demeaning to literally have agents laughing at them when told what we are offering wages wise. The aim this season is to finish outside the bottom 3 and if we do then what a fantastic job the management would have done. That arse clown in belgium wouldnt know a good thing if it came up and kicked his yellow teeth in.
I think we will do all right this season. Call me an optimist but so far we have picked up some gems from League 1 and 2 can they step up only time will tell but I think every one of them will.
My last comment on here was me saying i think Johnny Williams would sign i said he was happy and will never get his palace wages again.
I struck it lucky with that comment so my next is to say we will have some strong loans coming in right after the premiership squad lists are released.
Sadly losing aribo has hit us hard. If we still had him leading our midfield I think we’d all feel pretty confident, despite losing Cullen and bielik. He was the lynchpin really - turning defence into attack.

Quite a smart move by LB when you think k about it. Negotiations on deals and wages are just that, negotiations. Each side sets the bar high or low accordingly and aim to reach a compromise that both sides a can agree to. LB has sent out a low bar with a ‘it’s not me, it’s the owner’ message. Agents may well be laughing but LB has the upper hand in that come deadline day if the agent doesn’t get anything done he doesn’t get commission on the deal. A low commission is going to look a lot better than no commission as each day goes by this week. The last laugh will be LB’s.

Please tell me you sell whatever you have been taking?
Would like some physicality in the centre of defence - Don't think we've replaced Paddy Bauer yet. To me ,at the moment, the squad is mid table L1. Was disappointed when we let Fosu and Reeves go and that feeling is now amplified.
Pinning all of our hopes on some hypothetical, completely unknown loan signings is a terrible way to be going into the season.
I agree but things looked pretty grim at the start of last season when Charlton couldn’t fill the subs bench.
This is a much, much tougher league
Different expectations though. In L1 we are a big fish, expected to challenge near the top. This season we're up against big clubs with big budgets, 4th bottom will be cause for celebration...

We are not going to be signing anymore defenders.
Fosu and Reeves? Letting them go was justified, hardly a loss.

Reeves is better than what we have now in midfield. In a diamond of Pratley, JFC, Morgan and Williams I’d start Reeves over Morgan
I'm viewing this season as a free hit We have a uninterested owner We have lost a lot of good players and replaced them with untested lower league players Agents are laughing at us We are probably this season's Ipswich and Bolton And everyone expects us to get relegated If we finish 1 spot above relegation it has to be deemed as success and a bloody miracle so as far as I'm concerned we have nothing to lose and everything to gain so the best thing I can do is get behind the team and give them all the support I can COYR
As it stands, there is no way we will escape relegation. The question is what Bowyer can do between now and the closing of the window to change that. Th eteam that started last season wasn't going to get us promoted and Bowyer managed to change that so if anybody can, he can. But it is extremely difficult, other clubs with better resources than us will be eyeing the same players.

I was actually a fan of Reeves but he had enough chances and showed glimpses of quality at best. He spent a lot of time injured and is a League 1 player. Morgan is raw but I would still take him over Reeves, although I hope Bowyer gets the signings he wants and he’s allowed to go on loan.
I suppose it might be a good idea to start planning now for the 20-21 season in league one without Lyle Taylor and Lee Bowyer. Over to you CEO....oh hang on....

Yes, but I’ll probably laugh at whatever you say you can afford to pay...

i'd be well pleased if we got marquis - he fits bowyer's hard working player profile, he scores goals and he's a much better player now than when he left millwall

If bowyers quotes earlier in pre season are correct then it’s unlikely we would spend a million on a 27 year old. young players with potential resale value. id take him all day long to be honest. reckon Portsmouth will get him though.

true but maybe rd has adjusted our plans due to the fact we keep missing out on players? i'm only guessing

Yes I remember the same quotes. With strikers though the rules probably adjust a bit on what Bowyer said.
No half decent striker unless out of contract goes for free. While I highly doubt RD would spend £1m on Marquis he could probably hold his value for a couple of years even only having an average year or two with us. I don't see it happening but I wouldn't rule it out either.

Bowyer won’t have £1m to spend though.
£500k and Morgan on loan for the season?
Would be a good replacement for Herbie Kane for them
