Yeah to be fair they're a side that really needed a lot of strengthening.sam3110 said:
We're nearly as badly run as that Chelsea lot who still haven't signed their targets either!Chris_from_Sidcup said:KR says ""Look, we need another right-back in to cover Sollsy, we need a left-back in, we need a winger and we need a goalscorer"
We've needed that since the end of last season so what's been going on for the past 2.5 months? Now we're less than 3 weeks away from the first league game.1 -

But we'd make Hazard about as useful as Ajose in next to no time.king addick said:

I wonder if the reason the Martin and Reeves deals are not materializing is that those players never did like Robinson and don't want to play for him again. I mean, I never played for Robinson and I don't like him already. So why would they?
The press always says the same thing... "Player X use to play for Manager Y and Manager Y wants to reunite."
They never ask if their relationship was actually good.15 -
Think you're adding 2+2 and getting 5 there. For a start if Martin didn't like him, he surely wouldn't have gone to Ireland?NapaAddick said:I wonder if the reason the Martin and Reeves deals are not materializing is that those players never did like Robinson and don't want to play for him again.

Maybe because they've met him and you haven't.NapaAddick said:I wonder if the reason the Martin and Reeves deals are not materializing is that those players never did like Robinson and don't want to play for him again.

Glad we have gotten our transfer dealings out of the way early this year3

We are seeing the same process as in every other summer under Duche. A few signings early on and that's it.5

Former midfielder Josh Wright linked, he's currently at Gillingham.

Takes their penalties but a good player for them and their captain I believe. Unfinished business with us that's for sure.Scoham said:Former midfielder Josh Wright linked, he's currently at Gillingham.

Only 27, Wright seems to have been around for ages0
-
Would Wright want to rejoin us?
Wasnt happy when he left the club with how he'd been left out of the First Team the season beforehand0 -
No better than what we have already. Id rather play Kashi & Aribo.6

Neither of them will be getting close to 14 goals. Completely different players.OhEddieYouds said:No better than what we have already. Id rather play Kashi & Aribo.

I'd like to see Forster-Caskey given the chance to run our midfield9

Hang on everybody keeps on stating that we haven't got a big enough squad and now we've got to many depth is key and he's another body we have not got !1

numbers will be irrelevant if we end up with 16 midfielders, 2 strikers, 5 CBs, 1 injured LB and 1 keeperFAVADDICK said:Hang on everybody keeps on stating that we haven't got a big enough squad and now we've got to many depth is key and he's another body we have not got !
Leaving us with Jacko at LB and scrambling to get Kiely out of retirement won't be any good!1 - Sponsored links:

Josh Wright is hardly a year in year out goalscorer. He mainly scored penalties last season. We've learnt from signing Novak and Ajose that buying someone who got 50% of their goals from the spot during the previous season is no guarantee that they will score goals the next year.cafc_harry said:

Yeah I know what you mean I understand that other positions are a key first like a goalkeeper and a left back but there's people saying we don't need him he's still young and scored 14 goals last season to be truthful I could see him coming in to play number 10 role as reeves ain't coming1
-
Last centre mid we signed who ended scoring 10 goals a season was Jacko, didn't see many people complaining about the pens there. What makes you automatically say you'd rather Kashi and Aribo? Wright gives us a more attacking player who we don't have yet, could even be a Reeves alternative.OhEddieYouds said:

Wright is more of a Keith Jones style crab that always passes sideways rather than forward through balls. Do you not remember him when we had him before?
Ask any Millwall fan about him as he played for them for a bit too. Trust me he is no number 10 / Ben Reeves. Massive difference in quality. I'd be amazed if Karl brings him in when he always speaks about signing players that will improve the team.3 -
He left 8 years ago..... I think we've learnt not to trust our youth judgement back then, Harry Arter being the main example. Either way I think he's something we don't have. Other than Forster-Caskey who hasn't exactly been all that we haven't had a reliable more forward thinking mid, Aribo isn't really shining in that role either.OhEddieYouds said:Wright is more of a Keith Jones style crab that always passes sideways rather than forward through balls.

Forward thinking not necessarily like Reeves btw. More like what Crofts would ideally be, and I'm not sure Kashi will be.0 -
Josh more of a box to box midfielder imo, think he could add to the squad for sure. Providing we don't pay a huge fee, think it's a decent signing4

Hattrick of pens in the last 10 mins of a game against Scunthorpe (who were 2-0 up at the time).The Red Robin said:

I think he had a good season last year and yes scored 14 goals. But most of them were penalties and he is not a number 10. He is a box to box midfielder and we have Aribo and JFC, with Jacko (not box to box with his legs I know, but capable of scoring the odd goal) so I highly doubt we would be looking at someone like Wright.FAVADDICK said:Yeah I know what you mean I understand that other positions are a key first like a goalkeeper and a left back but there's people saying we don't need him he's still young and scored 14 goals last season to be truthful I could see him coming in to play number 10 role as reeves ain't coming
I agree Reeves is looking more unlikely, but I think Robbo will want to either keep Ceballos and replace him with similar, which would not be Wright.0 -
Rather Laplsie or Djiksteel than Wright even RCC. CM an area we don't need bodies. Just need Crofts out of contention.2
-
JFC struggled with injuries, but when he got a run in the side he scored goals. Aribo clearly tired in his first season as a pro, but he's looked very tidy in pre-season thus far. Add to that Crofts, Dijksteel, JJ, RCC, and potentially Lapslie and we have a lot in terms of numbers. What's hard to know is if the younger players, namely Dijksteel and RCC, are ready.cafc_harry said:

If given the choice knowing there isn't a huge difference, I'd rather we look to promote younger players (we have 3 quality central midfielders already). Josh Wright is from our academy, so I'd sort of make an exception for him.
In a 4-2-3-1 you don't necessarily need a box-to-box player, and sometimes that type of player doesn't fit in the system. Think of Steven Gerrard being moved to the 10 role under Benitez.3
