And Deano can help him with his kicking.......cafcfan1990 said:
Agreed, he'll just go there and play for their reserves anyway.ForeverAddickted said:For once I'd be fine with that if it frees up Dillon's wage for another player15 -
In terms of Smyth, two fast wider players and two strong physical ones. That could potentially be League One defence busting.4

Do proven league 1 goals scorers exist?
If you look back over the last 3 or 4 seasons everyone that has scored goals in league 1 is either playing in the championship, at least, or has already failed in the championship. And we seem to be judging are current strikers, and any linked, on not being regular goal scorers in the championship. BWP didn't score regularly in the championship either side on our title winning season.
If you score 20 goals in league 1 your either going to get promoted, or sold very quickly.13 -
I agree Smyth is underwhelming, but he is lightning quick, which is exactly what Bowyer wants. I'm sure after a few months working with him in training, Bowyer will get a tune out of him. Let's not forget that Bogle and Washington are also fairly quick strikers, certainly quicker than any League One defender.Sage said:
I think all things considered, we’ve had a good window and signed some excellent players for this level.ElliotCAFC said:
The problem is that there’s just nobody out there for the money we’re offering. With the wage cap you have to take punts on players and pray they come good.Sage said:I know how this will sound, and I don’t like it, but I’ll be completely honest and say if Smyth is the ‘striker’ we bring in, I’ll be underwhelmed.
He’s very quick and we lack that across the team, but it doesn’t solve any problems regarding the lack of goals.
We were interested in him the season we went up, but didn’t pursue the interest and he went to Accrington Stanley. He’s got 4 goals in his last 40 games or so, I just don’t see him as too inspiring.If we got Sorba Thomas, Smyth and another good midfielder on loan, I’d be very happy with how this window has gone.
But when you look at some of the signings made by others in the league since the cap came in, I do think there’s better out there than Smyth if he’s deemed to be the striker.
Bogle could prove to be a great signing, but we are 100% weaker up front than we have been over the last 2/3 years and I just don’t see how Smyth changes that.
I would have hoped we'd be able to get a good young striker from a Premier League side, rather than QPR's deadwood - but beggars can't be choosers.
For me this season is a free-hit, I don't particularly care where we finish as long as we put up a good fight. It's all about building strong foundations to romp the league next season - so long as 90% of the clubs haven't gone bust by then.2 -
5 minutes til deadline to play tomorrow.
5hrs 5 mins remaining to sign the 2-3.0 -
Mo Eisa is perfect surely, no idea why no one has tried to get himCafc43v3r said:Do proven league 1 goals scorers exist?

That was fun while it lasted. Viva Paul Smyth7 -
So potentially no extras playing tomorrow...
(Obviously someone could be signed but awaiting announcement)

Yep looks like that what happened with Inniss and Maateson they signed, trained then did interviews before it was announced.3 -
Thats a no from me.Addick Addict said:After a leaked article was anonymously put into the public domain yesterday and after much speculation that Charlton Athletic had made an offer for Wood fans favourite Sorba Thomas, the Club can now publicly state, that Charlton have in fact made a bid but their kind offer falls a bit short of the Club’s valuation of the player, which they were made very aware of that before making their offer in writing.

Medicals can be done elsewhere just as I doubt they actually have to be in London to sign.Dansk_Red said:Getting the medical done before 5pm rules out most clubs outside London.1 -
Loan spell to a L2 club cut short by injury. Sounds ideal for us.MattF said:Looks like we were after Odin Bailey on loan from Birmingham but it fell through

Not bothered about the noon deadline. We've got enough new players to integrate tomorrow anyway, not helped by having 4 players away on international duty, and both Wales and N Ireland being away on WednesdayDazzler21 said:So potentially no extras playing tomorrow...

TS would only have signed Odin on a Wednesday.MattF said:Looks like we were after Odin Bailey on loan from Birmingham but it fell through5 -
To me it looks like its Sorba OR Smyth for the wide/winger place. Was Cawley referring to Smyth just then or Sorba ? Can't see us signing both as we still NEED A STRIKER WHO CAN SCORE US THE GOALS WE NEED TO WIN GAMES.4

In my opinion the latter won’t happen. Just have to hope that the likes of Bogle and Washington can score more goals in a season than they have ever done before.golfaddick said:To me it looks like its Sorba OR Smyth for the wide/winger place.

Do we need another attacking midfielder?0

No problem really. Didn't bother virtually everyone else on here when 2 weeks ago we didn't sign a striker before the Sunderland match and when some of us questioned it we said we had 2 weeks before our next match so calm down.Dazzler21 said:So potentially no extras playing tomorrow...

I do realise that we have signed Bogle since then but I see him as an Aneke "battering ram" type player rather than an out & out striker. Would really prefer a small, nippy poacher type above all else to complement the team.2 -

Good player for the level, just don’t think it’s a position we need strengthening.4
