  • Let's be honest if we had CBT on one side and that kid on the other, teams would absolutely hate playing us.
    Until we put the ball in the area, then they would love us!!😂
  • When you use the words "I believe" and "interested" in the same sentence it usually means you know jack shit.

    I tend to agree with you Golfie but if this guy does know the the Left footed Left Back Jack Shit can he be given Ben Garner's number.

    Cheers.

    Shit beat me to it🤣

    First Inniss now Aneke, this season's gonna be easy. 
    They're both titanic forces in League One. If their bodies weren't cruel to them they'd be Championship at least. You can't always use the cheat code, but it's nice when you can. With a teensy-weensy asterisk about Inniss' ability to Garnerball it from the back

    Come on now!!!…… it’s in tight spaces he does the damage!!, who is he Mandingo!!!!!……KENNETH!!!!!!!!🤣
    Lol ..... I just meant to point out that he's not a CBT direct speed merchant but by comparison, twists and turns his way into the box, tight control, etc.
    He's only really done it U23 level, of course. But he'd have League One defenders pressing the panic button around the box.

    I could see him fitting in with Garnerball.

    But of course, it's only a rumour or even just a wind up.

    You do know we have 2 fewer strikers than last season? Even if we only play with one striker/ goalscorer at a time ( which I am really not sure we should), we still need one more. None of Washington, Stockley or Aneke were guaranteed starts for long periods during the season due to injury, loss of form or suspension. That is why its a squad game.

     If Stockley gets injured, suspended or loses form,  who takes his starting place with the current squad?
    And please don't say Leaburn. (Or Aneke obviously)
    You do know that you’ve completely missed my point right? I’ve not said at any point that we don’t need another striker.

    I’ve made a comment arguing that I think it will be difficult to get a decent striker because they will effectively be seen as third choice, and only used to cover games that Stockley is suspended, injured, or needs resting from, due to them not getting a chance during normal games as Aneke will be put on in front of them. 




  • You do indeed. The thing is that striker you bring on 90% of the time also usually ends up filling in for 90 minutes when others are suspended, injured, or it’s a busy schedule and they need a rest.

    Aneke cant do any of them. Aneke can’t even get through a pre season where there’s less intensity and his minutes were more
    managed than any other player. 
    That's the missing player though isn't it, Chuks or no Chuks?

    If you had, Stockley, Stockton and Aneke, you would still bring Chuks off the bench more often than not.  It's not, or shouldn't be, an and/or argument.

    Stockton would change the mood in an instant. My mood at least. Then a lot of things that don't make sense to me will start to.

    What Sandgaard hasn't worked out is that until youngsters break through they should not be expected to. You plan as if they won't and if they do it is a bonus. But if they did, they would be sold in January anyway.

    Which team in league one has the budget to have Stockley, Stockton and Aneke?

    Why is Stockton potentially going to come here to potentially sit on the bench when he could play week in week out, or at least be used as a sub somewhere else.

    I know exactly where you were coming from,😜👍,,, I couldn’t help it sorry.😂, if he can have a good influence on the team and we aren’t just helping palace give him minutes, he looks quite exciting a prospect.

    They both have the turning circle of the titanic!!

    For money? I guess what you are really saying is that we are too poor financially to get promoted.
    And you may well be right.
  • HE’D BE A FUCKING CHEAT CODE IN LEAGUE ONE!
    .
    He would get kicked all over the park in League One

    Well of course there’s an element of that because no team has an unlimited budget, but either way building a squad is not really as black and white as people want to make it out to be.

    At the end of the day every team has a budget to work within, and we’ve chosen (I expect) to spend much of that on Stockley and a player in Aneke who can only play 30 minutes a game.

    Sure we could spend a large chunk of our budget on another quality striker, if they would want to come to us, and not a place where they were guaranteed first team football, but then we would perhaps have to sacrifice a better player somewhere else in the team. So maybe we wouldn’t have got McGrandles or Payne or O’Connell for instance.

    Anyone able to tell me how many league games this kid from the stripeys has played and how many goals he has scored?

    And anyone able to explain what a cheat code is?

    At U23 level though. But he did rip up PL2, League Player of the Season.

    Made 2 Prem appearances for Palarse, last season - including starting v Man Utd.
    Capped 5 times last year for England U20.

    Chelsea reject. Only been at Palarse since 2019. :smiley:

    All well and good but no one knows how he’d fair playing a full season in league one. If we want promotion I’d prefer someone with more experience in actual league football.

    Its the risk of signing any kids from a Premier League team on loan.

    Not all of them are going to be as bad as your Matt Smith's or Nile John's, whilst others wont be good as the likes of Conor Gallagher or Brennan Johnson - Very few of these kids will have Premier League appearances to their names already, so going by any stats of what they've already achieved is pretty pointless.

    Clubs have shown outside the Premier League (Huddersfield | Shrewsbury | Lincoln etc.) that if you can use the loan system correctly, there is no reason why it shouldnt work... Unfortunately there is no tried and tested formula to it though.

    No different to giving our own kids First Team experience either.

    Until you throw the kid in, you'll never know how they're going to cope against senior / experienced players - The alternative though can be the Ben Watson's and Chris Gunter's getting endless opportunities, because Managers are too scared to take the gamble.
  • More than Conor Gallagher had when he joined on loan!
    If we never gamble on young loanees we’ll never find another Gallagher or Bielik. One had never been on loan and the other played a few games for Walsall.

    For me it’s worth the risk if it’s only one or two players but I get why when it comes to goal scorers someone more proven is a better option on paper.

    Are they ? How many of the ones that have been mentioned as serious targets perhaps have fired their current teams to promotion ? Get the right premiership youngster and there is more value in that I think personally

    And so I found a Youtube clip of Rak-Saki, 8 minutes worth of his U23 performances last season.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZt-zvu4S7A&t=521s&ab_channel=PBcomps

    The lad has got some composure, bag of tricks twisting and turning, quick feet, acceleration and change of pace. It's in tight spaces that he does the damage - faced with packed defences; he's a tin-opener.


    Wow.

    Sign him up!!

    Are they what? I think we're saying the same thing, find the right Prem loanees and you can get a top player for a season that can make a huge difference to your team.
