If they are not in the first team, they are a resource we absolutely should be using in the U-23s.soapboxsam said:ForeverAddickted said:

e.g. No better way to prove they cant go cutting corners if they want to develop was his words if I remember rightly
The Bayern Munich example that Brighton's have copied is having an experience player doing his coaching badges playing in the U23/21 and not shouting from the dug out.
Good idea to play one of them in the U23 to utilize their experience.
We have reached the stage where we have Watson, Gunter and Pearce who because of injuries may have to play all together in the 1st team.
That is the opposite of the Brighton and Bayern Munich model.3 -

There are rumours & then there are posts that don't actually make sense. There is not a striker called Randall who plays for Plymouth.

Rumours of signings that eventually happen are pretty rare these days. Clare only ‘broke’ a few hours before it happened. I’ve only ever had one ITK story in the whole of the time this site has been in existence and then I chose to keep it to myself to protect the integrity of my ‘informant’ - I would imagine a lot of Lifers do the same.

You snoozesoapboxsam said:Apologies for interrupting the sensitivities of CL posters but as we are 13 days away from the start of the 2021/22 season, am I allowed to say ?
The next two weeks could be critical
Edit
Blackpool beat me to it, as I was watching the Olympics and forgot to send 24 hours ago
You lose 😁1 -
might even be worth calling the the u23's something crazy like the reserves - young up and coming talent playing with players just going over the hill - what a groundbreaking idea10

Firstly, I believe Gunter at just 32 the other day, is very much considered as part of the 1st team squad.soapboxsam said:ForeverAddickted said:

He's fit enough and quick enough.
Pearcey is only a year older at 33 and he himself will no doubt believe he still has something to offer the 1st team, even if he's not 1st choice. If he gets a game he'll bust a gut to keep his place. That's the character of the man.
The experienced Ben Watson at 36, having triggered his extra year contract extension, while having a great positional and passing ability, has slowed down visibly.
If anyone was earmarked to play the 'Bayern role' with the U23s, it's Watson surely?

TBF to Covered end lad, he took up my challenge to concede his 60 likes if no Signing is announced by 5pm Monday. (He said it has already happened) his record is good and only a failed medical stopped him getting another transfer correct a couple of weeks ago.
Moving on to other posters....
I'm very competitive despite being a Cafc fan and I would expect to be derided if I said a player would sign for Cafc (despite Cawley saying no substance on numerous occasions) who then goes on to sign for a club in the National League. Mullins or the "one season wonder". Not in the National League this season !
This was my favourite thread until the diving, simulation and diva attitudes took over. Let's keep it fun where we tackle hard but no studs up Comments.
If we give it, we take it; Those are the rules.

I agree that Watson at 36 is the best fit for the role. Pearce and Gunter have so much experience to pass on to the youngsters.
I thought Gunter was older, and Pearce has always given 100% to the cause.
Most Cafc fans wouldn't expect any of the 3 players mentioned to be starters unless other players are injured or need a rest ?

With Purrington's injury Left Back becomes a bigger priority than previously unless you would want to play an out of position Gunter there.
Ogilvie was always my first choice of the free agents. Lets make it happen.6 -
Any rumours of us signing a new player on this forum anyone ?4

I expect Pearce to still feature quite regularly this season, unless we sign a really good right footed CB who can also play happily on the leftsoapboxsam said:Oggy Red said:
