    Less encouraging to be linked with Martin and Gobern. Released by Coventry and Huddersfield.
    Hope KM doesn't try to do this 'buying British' thing on the mega cheap.

    Were they released or did they decide against signing new Contracts?

    'Top six budget' but we're still trying to sign players on a free that no other club wants. British manager but same old story.


  • Wouldn't be impressed with either if they were in the starting 11. Would be decent as squad players.

    Have you seen them both play?. What do you know about them?.
    Yes Gobern played for the Huddersfield team back in league 1 when we were promoted as champions. I'd compare him to Jordan Cousins but not as good. Seen Aaron Martin play for Southampton and Palace and would agree with what Mowbray said about him in the SLP article.

    What about all the Free Transfers from this season though?

    Powell is a British manager who had a top 6 budget and signed a squad of frees, money paid for two players. I don't understand your point?

    Powell signed players like Morrison and Stephens. This lot sign players like Roger Johnson. I'll believe it when I see it.
  • Don't recognise either player to be honest... Aaron Martin doesn't sound bad though, has a lot of experience, sounds like a combined Morrison / Taylor sort of signing based on the sort of clubs he's played for




    Who would possibly be stupid enough to sell a player like Morrison?

    Ahhh, I know.....

    To be fair Bob Peeters is the third best Manager we've ever had

    Agent to player:

    'Don't worry son I'll get you a good gig. If that fails I have Katrien Miere's phone number '.

    When a player 4th choice and asks to go out on loan to get game time who would be stupid enough not to let him go
    But then to let him go an a free to a rival is mental.

    Nothing wrong with that, tackles like that come from the 70s when men were real men and had...........long hair and perms.

    I don't think that anyone is that bothered about this whole British thing anyway! I think Miere has misinterpreted the fans, and thinks (cynically) we can be appeased by picking up a few British free transfers.

    No, Katie. It's not necessarily British we're after...it's quality. If they happen to be both, great...but I'm not going to cry if they're foreign and class. No one was complaining about Buyens, and Kashi (if he stays) is one of the best on our books.

    I just don't want this to turn in to something along the lines of "Well...we did what you wanted and got a British manager and British Signings...it's still not worked so we'll just go out and get another Anil Koc and you can all shut up whilst I continue the masterplan. We tried it your way and it didn't work. We know best, so nyanyanyanyanyanyaaaaa."

    I loathe this regime.

    Perhaps this could be our new chant:

    Support the team, loathe the regime.
  • I'm not sure people are grasping the concept that "budget" equates to the whole package as in Signing on, Wages, agents fees as well a transfer fee. So if we sign free transfers then it still comes out the budget. I'm no expert but at this level I'd imagine transfer fees would total less than 20% of transfers which float around.

    It depends if you then also plan to sack the manager who deemed him to be fourth choice behind two ageing, short-term signings that were both released that summer, and the only other CB sold. That wouldn't happen at Charlton though would it?

    That sort of tackle has no place in English football...

    Unless you're Eric Cantona tackling a Palace fan of course

    He was 4th choice for one reason, we thought some very dodgy other CB's were better.

    One very dodgy in Bikey, who was actaully a rock for the first third of the season. Then Ben Haim and Gomez (who admittedly was playing at right back at the time but a natural CB) who were both quality. Can see why he was out of favour at the time but the club did take a very short-term view on that one for sure.

    I really really really hope Katrien isn't just using Chris Wilder's list and going after them.

    That would be a very low thing to do.

    Might also account for why we've reportedly lost a couple of players that way to Sheff Utd.....

    That would be my guess
