Jordan Cousins is crap.

Hugely disagree, unless he’s got a lot worse . Not a glamorous player but a very good defensive midfielder - mobile, breaks up play well, scored the odd goal.  He’s not Claus Jensen, which seems to be most people’s objection on here.  

I think Hakeeb Adelakun could well be a target. If we sign him, I feel it only fair we call him by his full name - Hakeeb Adeola Abiola Ayinde O. O. J. Adelakun

I also think there will be alot announced on the 9th. My own hunch is that TS has got players to keep quiet until a launch day. I suspect a special broadcast on valley live will be announced and then players will be introduced. It's a great way of building up the excitement. My own tips are Famwoe loan, Stockley permanent, chucks re signed. And some new signings. I would just add Piggott says he cant say where he is going !!! Just saying 🤭🤭🤭

Makes it sound like he's going to throw a spanner in the works.

Piggot update - not us, not qpr - more west than that 

Brentford.

No but I’m not getting into one of these things coz people will start accusing me of being a WUM- there’s enough of that on the season ticket thread with people getting all emotional and abisive - it’s not us, that’s the main thing and it’s not qpr which was my hunch last week and I’m now told who it is so it do t take too much working out

WUM acts like WUM then gets upset at being called WUM. 

Misfired again Uboat - just been round this loop many many times - and I stand by every word on the ticket thread whether that upsets some or not - no upset here 

That’s a shame, because I assumed you were having a laugh on the other thread, so it’s a shame to find out you’re actually just a bit of a twat. 

a twat who u r following around - i've made my point so if u want me to shut up, don't keep jabbing away you bellend 

I’m not sure what point you think you’ve made, but most of us seem to have reached the same conclusion. Hopefully you’ll enjoy a period of quiet reflection now. 

couldn't leave it could you - no reflection here - get a season ticket and back the new owner - its that simple

My favourite thing right now is writing off players that are in the league above that wouldn’t even consider us in a million years. We are in league 1 folks

Some players would though.......Taylor would sign for Bromley tomorrow if they offered him 30k a week.

That's one we won't be getting. 

Booo!

(Have i used the correct thread etiquette chaps?)

Jordan Cousins is crap.

He played for us five years ago and was average then. He's also had a couple of injuries in that time.

Most of the people saying bring him back will expect the Cousins of five years ago. 
Probably the same people who were calling for us to pring Poyet back. We remember how that turned out?

I'm not adverse to bringing back ex players.

I doubt there are many people on here who have intensively followed his career through QPR and Stoke City.

So would I.

I hate the way football fans talk about footballers sometimes. Imagine being some bloke who would be given the run around by the under 14s sitting at their laptop and confidently saying a professional footballer playing in the first or second division is 'dogshit' or 'dreadful' with 'no footballing brain'. What a weird life. I wonder if they heckle window cleaners and dentists as well

As a matter of fact, I often heckle my window cleaner but figure it’s not wise to heckle my dentist.

Surely we want to poach the best L2 players. Paul Mullin scored 32 in 46 for Cambridge last season. Scored 11 more than the second highest scorer in the league. 

And did sod all, ever, before this season.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, The signings we need are the equivalent of ..

Hamer
Wiggins
Morrison
Taylor
Cort
Hollands
Stephens
Green
Kermorgant
BWP
Cullen
Beilik

Plus a few others

Jordan Cousins isn’t of the required standard so it’s a Non from me

I agree with your point but how can you say that Cousins isn't the standard of Hollands.  Very similar players, similar ages (to when we signed Hollands).  One has played his whole career so far, nearly 250 games, in the championship.  One managed 14 games above league 1 in his whole career.

Everyone that played for us in the last 100 odd years is either a world beater or crap, as this thread proves. Everyone who played for us in 2012 and 2019 were brilliant and everyone who played for us in 2010 and 2021 were total shit. 

There have been 2 members of the same youth team linked to us now.  One played 120 odd games for us in the championship, got a very good contract, then was sold as we got relegated.  The other was released after a hand full of first team games and has never played above league 1 since. 

Guess which one people want back?

Agreed .. but I still think Danny Hollands was a better player than Jordan Cousins back in the day. 

Some of you are way to over sensitive in your reactions to a few posters talking about ex players returning 😂

Hollands was great in League One for Bournemouth. Which is why Powell signed him.
Slotting into the engine room of our midfield, he was a vital member of our title winning side.

After promotion to the Championship, however ..... Hollands was found out at the higher level. And quickly replaced.

Jordan Cousins has never played below the Championship, and while he had some limitations, he was very good at what he could do.
Which is why he was an integral part of Charlton's 1st team for 3 seasons. And Player of the Year for 2 successive seasons, by the age of 22.

Why is it some fans only look at a players limitations ...... but completely ignore his qualities, what he brought to the side, how he complimented and enabled team mates to perform more effectively ........... and never question as to why his manager used him as a cornerstone of the side?

Cousins maybe to Luton with Nathan Jones? Think he'll get another Championship deal
