Would you take Gilbert on a permanent move if we got promoted?
Whatever we, as individuals, think, I'm not sure his fitness levels/workrate fit in with NJs requirements...
Jones likes his player as fit as butcher's dogs, running from the first minute to the last e.g. Doc and Coventry; and I don't rgink Gilbert is that sort of player.
Aaron Connerly just released from Millwall. Apart from club I think he’s a decent player and has done well at previous clubs. Think he’d be a decent signing
If he's been released by Millwall in the Championship, why would we sign someone who's not considered good enough for the league we're aiming for?
We also have to make a decision with Miles, as with one year left on his contract, we either need to get a new deal sorted or it makes sense to sell him if the fee is right.
Have another season like the last one and he'll be lucky to get a new deal with us, let's be honest.
Tricky decision. At this stage , he’s injury prone and he’s lost mobility when compared to 2022/23. His hold up play isn’t that good either . His highlights reel is impressive - someone might still pay some money for him
I actually think it’s a good move, stops people like media teams having to wait around for ages and doesn’t make a difference in the grand scheme of things
Exactly, if you have left things so late that the loss of 4 hours completely ruins your plans then that's probably just bad planning on your part.
The problem is that so many deals rely on other deals happening first, so there's a whole chain of events that get pushed back to the end, whatever the cutoff time.
Preston and Bristol City are both chasing player A from Ipswich
If Preston sign A, then we can sign player B from them, but if Bristol sign A, then Preston will keep B
If we sign B, then we will loan player C to Lincoln
If we don't sign B, then we will try and sign player D from Oxford
If we sign D, the Oxford will try and sign player E on loan from Sunderland

Because the spanners will be aiming at the playoffs and we’ll be aiming at survival?

Players who are “released” are not necessarily not good enough.
They could be players who will not sign a new contract, or the Club has better in that position, or he does not fit the style of play, or they have a youngster coming through, or maybe aiming higher, or have more money to upgrade.
We may consider him an upgrade in a position, good cover, or a cheap option so we can spend more elsewhere.

Connolly is by most accounts, a bit of a bellend.
There's a reason he's looking for his 4th club in less than 18 months.

Time the yearly reminder that just because a player is released it don’t mean they’re bad.

Massively over the hill and on the decline, no thank you

If we go up, we will be aiming for promotion again. Why not? Not saying it’ll happen, but that should be goal.
Considering we won’t even know which League we’re going to be in next year would be surprised if this is true
Jones is already on record stating that our targets are not dependent on which division we play in next season, only that it is more likely for them to come should we find ourselves promoted to the Championship.

In which case I’d be surprised if that’s the sort of profile we’re looking at. I’d presume we will be looking at more experienced players who are either top end L1 players who can make the step up or Championship players who may not be top 6 quality but would be decent for a mid table/lower championship side, rather than potential players for the future

You need both, all good planning for next season but you need to future proof too
I wonder if Jes Rak-Sakyi will stay in the championship. Hasn't really torn up trees at Sheffield Utd
Done pretty well. Especially considering he hardly played last season.
Played 35 of 46 league games (although I don't know if they were starts/subs).
Scored 7 and assisted 2.
Obviously a drop off from league one with us but it is a league above.
He's done ok, but they're not the stats of a player that is going to play Premier League football next season imo. Hence why I think he may go elsewhere in the Championship if Sheffield Utd go up.

It sounds nice, but in reality though that list of targets will at the top have players who will only join a decent Championship club, and at the other end 5th choice players probably more suited to L1.

Agreed, but that doesn't mean Bradley Ibrahim isn't a target....... who knows? How much experience or which team a player has recently played for doesn't determine the "profile" of the players we want to attract......... Ramsay & Small being two around the time Jones came in that wouldn't have been too dissimilar in make up to Ibrahim

Don’t think there’d be any chance of us getting him though. Will have a lot of interest from higher up the league
Another wish, NOT rumour .. Angus Gunn, Norwich & Scotland goalkeeper, leaving Narge on contract expiry .. would solve our keeper problem (on high wages, BUT i m o would be well worth a big salary)
He's left and moved back up north. We were visiting friends 2 weeks ago in Norwich and randomly they were popping to a neighbours house to buy curtains as the fella was moving.... Bryan Gunn opened the door and finalised the deal lol

Thanks for the info, I suspected that he had a move lined up before letting his Norwich options run out .. but Bryan is his dad ? .. were they very nice curtains ?

I think he'll go for someone young and dynamic.
