Scoham said:Cafc43v3r said:lancashire lad said:there is only 1 more game before the window closes, you could say 2 as the Fleetwood match is on 2nd Sept, surely it is better to wait and get the best partner for May rather than rush in this week and buy a second rate one, also Leaburn can only be 2 or 3 weeks away from playing.
This is the same for other positions better to wait a week and get the best available, but of course if the SMT aren't bothering then that is far more serious.
But not in the case of a squad player striker. The minute Leaburn came off against Welling they needed to get an adult striker through the door quickly.
Even if it was someone like Wickham or Martin on a 6 month contract.
I get the fear of being lumbered with players you don't want but you don't have to give everyone multi year contracts. You could reassess in January.
You need a minimum of 4 strikers if your playing with two. Leaburn, Kanu and Campbell don't take up squad spaces, nor count towards FFP, so that sort of balances out that Aneke does.
Yes wait for the right people to pay fees and give longer contracts too but that doesn't mean you have to leave yourself short.
Would be happy to be wrong of course.Kanu similar. Two goals now and he’ll be buzzing, but by the law of averages, to get two youth players come through and perform
consistently so early on in their career is a big ask.
I appreciate whilst he’s still on the books people will mention Aneke, but for me, we should assume he’s not going to contribute. That way, we better manage risk and we must do everything we can to go out and get a decent forward to compete with May and Leaburn. Easier said than done of course, but I strongly believe it’s what’s needed to get us out of this league.
The counter argument would be Bowyer’s promotion season after Grant left, and filling the gap with Vetokele and Parker, but the team was much stronger then, Lyle was a talisman and we were able to leverage the Taylor/Grant partnership for half a season5 -

Holden was their man
They oversaw the January window
I'm sure Dean kept them up to date for the 2 months they fell out with TS!
They should bloody well know very well what we need.
9 points lost already.
they were ready 4 weeks ago but it was the women’s team that held up the sale for another two weeks

Last season we were the 6th top scorers in the league and yet nobody in the top 14 conceded more goals than us. Result? Midtable obscurity
We're in danger of repeating the same mistake

AFC Wimbledon want in excess of £1.2m for Iraq striker Ali Al-Hamadi due to sizeable sell-on clause owed to his old club Wycombe.This is why a striker is the hardest position to buy for ridiculous price2

We will end up with PL loans and championship squad players dropping down, I can’t see the new owners paying that kind of money or they would have done it a month ago before we’d lost 3 league games due to being short4 -

Next, he'll be telling us about the time he broke Bonnie Langfords back.

5 managers and 10 center halves later its still going on they can't all be crap or clueless can they?
Charltonised has been used for stopping scoring or being injured but I would wager Hector has made more "serious" errors in the last 8 months than in the previous 8 years. You don't play, for that long, in the Championship or above if you keep doing that.2 -

Exactly this - with not long to get a replacement in I'm not surprised AFCW are quoting that for a player that will be key to them and hard to replace.
I'd be surprised now if we get a striker on a permanent0 -

Ali Al-Hamadi was allowed to leave by Wycombe only in January. After scoring a few goals in L2, he's probably worth 200k now, max.

Now that Kanu is scoring we have 4 strikers on our books.
Unless we are going to unload one of them I would be very surprised if we sign another one, unless it is a loan.
The priority is to sort out the defence-keeping goals out is the biggest problem to fix now.2 -
