    Still think Fraser would be a good option at 10 in this new formation.
    Last season's Fraser was excellent and, probably, our most creative player.  He had 8 games out with injury and hasn't really been on it since coming back.  Might be a combination of post injury and lack of motivation (Appleton?).  If he can get match fit and regain his confidence/motivation then he still has a part to play IMHO.

    Charlton recruitment team, easiest job to secure in the world. 

    They couldn't identify a good players if their lives depended on it

    I liked Fraser last season, really had high hopes for him, but he just looks so lightweight in a league where every opposition we face all look physically stronger than us.

    Reading would do the same to us if the roles were reversed. 
    Wasn’t it Reading that took Yann from us ?
    No one took him from us, we virtually gave him away. Worst bit of business I can remember ( resigning aneke isn't far behind)

    3 returned/cancelled loans in January. (Could be 4 if we were allowed/able to return Camara). Not a brilliant reflection of recruitment team. 

    I've don't think I've seen us or many stable Clubs returning 3 loanees in the transfer window?

  • It's concerning that our "hit rate" with loanees this season has been so bad, as it'll put off PL clubs sending their better kids here rather than to another L1 club.

    Of the 5 we signed in the summer, 2 were flops and went back (Abankwah and Tedic), 1 went back after an unwhelming spell (Chem), 1 has been injured nearly all the time (Camara) while the other has struggled to get many minutes (Watson).

    I feel that signings like Abankwah were more to do with a limited budget on the last day of the window than the abilities of our recruitment team.

    Identifying good players isn’t really the hard part, it’s having the budget to beat other clubs to them, finding the right mix of personalities, being a club on the up that’s attractive to sign for etc.

    Had we not had the money to pay fees for at least 3 players this window we’d have probably signed cheap loanees/free agents as an alternative.

    But it does assume the Reading player would want to move from one unstable club to another? Also, one relegation battle to another. 

    A bit like JCH, our bid might be accepted but it could be a waste of time and effort.
    We're not an unstable club, we're just a bit rubbish. We've spent a fair bit this window already and there's no indication there's any financial trouble looming. We're just reaping the rewards of some middling player recruitment and a bad manager choice and we can fix up both of those things if we get stuff right in the next couple of days. Get in a good manager, win a few games and it'll all be talk about next season and building.
    You’re getting a bit too optimistic again.  I’ll have to send Golfie round

    I see Mo Eisa has left MK for Exeter. Scored 5 goals so far this season....with Alex Gilbey outscoring him with  7.

    Eisa started the season on fire, didn’t get his move he wanted in the summer and has not played much over the last handful of weeks. He’s better than League Two and it’s a fairly good signing for Exeter.

    Who do you think will get more goals for their new clubs before the end of the season -

    Ladapo 
    Eisa
    Taylor (aka the snake)

    If Ladapo can get match fit and we play him alongside May, I would say him. Genuinely feel he could score about 8 goals if that happens. Would also love to see an attack of May, Ladapo, and Aneke all at the same time.

    Otherwise, Taylor is more likely to score more, especially at this level with a point to prove, to himself as much as others.

    Exeter are in general a poor side, but it’s still a good signing for them and I would anticipate he scores around 6 in the remaining 17 games for Exeter.

    Can’t see us signing him but Jed Steer is available again.

    His talking and leadership alone would transform our defense. Even if he's lost something on the player he used to be I feel he would help right now.

    Oooh exciting, a new  shirt sponsorship with ' imepueck ' (pronounced "I'm puke"?).

    Nope. Epic Fail. Half inch too short.

    Sorry. Goodbye.  


  • Any rumours of signing a half decent striker?
