He ripped a forward playing as a wing back apart. He was pretty quiet for the other 1.5 games when being marked by a proper full back.J BLOCK said:Baah to Donny annoys me. Ripped us apart last season, plays in a position we desperately need.
He made 2 whole accurate crosses all season last year as well. Just what we need.2 -

So those who are going to make silly comparisons between Roland’s 6 years of transfers and TS’s 11 months, at least do it properly rather than half the story that you feel suits your narrative.Roland was an absolute shambles.
You could argue its heading in the same direction based on that, but, really it's a silly argument.
Not only has Roland had far more windows to operate in there wasn't the COVID factor, and even if you disregard that, without knowing what the undisclosed fees are, you just can't compare.
If anything it just shows typical transfer activity. I'm sure if you posted any other club to a similar stature to ours it'll read the same. Players leaving on frees, decent talent sold and a whole bunch of undisclosed.

Only Lockyer, as at that stage we were in a one out, one in situation, and used the squad space to bring in LevittDazzler21 said:

It's curious that under ESI we never sold anyone, despite being broke all summer.
Under Thomas we brought in a few decent fees, for Phillips, Bonne, Doughty plus the Karlan sell on fee which would have helped to offset the losses3 -
Braving another suggestion 😂
What about going back in for Tom Lockyer? Doesn’t seem to be getting a look in Luton’s team anymore and think he will be a decent addition and he knows the club very well.8 -
The talent we have is within the U18s from last season, the likes of Deji, Henry, Beadle etc, rather than further up the age groupcs1986 said:
Right now we have Deji who appears a talent. Of course our academy is excellent but right now none of them are worth a fiver. Maybe 2 or 3 years down the line we have another excellent batch that could be sold either well or on the cheap. Only then could you see of TS is similar.BR7_addick said:
How do you know, Doughty was on loan at Bromley till he come back due to injuries and his life changed almost over night. And even if we haven’t currently got a Gomez/Lookman/Doughty we know full well we’ll have one soon, our academy is very good.cs1986 said:
We don't have any young talent worth much?BR7_addick said:
But TS hasn’t happened yet, unless you’ve evidence to suggest he’s secretly planning on selling every piece of young talent we have for a quick buck to cover losses way under market value?SELR_addicks said:

We’re we slow to react on Baah? Or just saw he scored 3 in 21. Twice against us and largely fuck all else.addick1956 said:

Baah humbug!I-SAW-POUSO-PLAY said:Baah Signing for Donny1 -
I'd have Lockyer back in a flash, and he'd be too good for this league definitely. That said, I don't think he'd step down to L1 again, it'd be big wages for us too and currently Innis + Famewo are our main pairing CBs, I don't think we'd want to spunk big wages on Lockyer as a back-up CB (I know Inniss will inevitably get injured)SouthLondonisRed said:Braving another suggestion 😂

How are we not picking up players like Baah? He’s from the area, surely we’d be interested. Missing out on so many good players, somethings not right!0

Yeah completely agree. Aaron Henry looks a talent - 2 or 3 years away? Or am i being harsh?killerandflash said:

If our strategy really is to bide our time & wait for player demands to reduce as they get more desperate to sign a deal as the transfer deadline draws closer, it's a dangerous strategy.
We could be very busy on transfer deadline week. Alternatively, it could all go tits up & we could be left desperately short of numbers.
Time will tell!!3 - Sponsored links:

Lockyer is not what we need. Too short for a centre back, positionally weak (and not quick enough to make up for it) and his passing was woeful.If a defender makes as many last ditch tackles as he did you have to question his positioning in the first place4

There’s a reason Barker is behind Elewere. He only played last season because u23s weren’t eligible because of the squad rules.blackpool72 said:
