    Is Kamara brilliant defensively? May be no better than JRS in that respect.

    I am excited for the potential transfers but this needs to be addressed by the club urgently. 


    Can't help it - man's gotta eat ffs
    I gotta be honest, those 12:30 kick offs were a bit annoying about when I can have me lunch!

    Apparently good stats for a young winger. 


    We need GOALS!!!!!  We have not added goals anywhere.

    The only reason I'd want to see JRS back is to stop people talking about wanting to bring JRS back
    We might finally sign a creative midfielder with Holsgrove, if we bring in JRS as well that will half the size of next years rumours thread

    Karlan will score some goals. But more importantly we’ve added creativity, I don’t think any of our attackers are bad finishers other than TC, if they get the chances they will score goals

    Kamara’s agent and/or NJ may be delaying the deal to see what happens with JRS first.

    People will laugh but JRS probably isn’t as far out of our reach as you may think when you consider….

    1. He only has 1 year left on his contract
    2. His stock / value has dropped following a few few mediocre loan spells
    3  Palace couldn’t find a buyer last season & ended up having to send him on loan to the Turkish league (which they & JRS will not want to let that happen again).
    JRS is very much in our weight division, to the extent that I’m not that fussed about signing him

    Didn't someone on here who's itk say they'd heard a winger previously unmentioned that was in a top 10 championship team. Or has the bloody heat cooked my brain .

    Doesn't quite make sense that NJ has been talking to Holsgrove all this time while we've not had a bid accepted.
    Tapping up isn’t really a thing anymore, managers will often sound out a player before putting a bid in with a club. There’s little point wasting time negotiating a fee with a club just for the player to turn around and say no. I doubt we’ve paid a fee for anyone where we haven’t had some form of talk with a player/agent for a few years now
    Rumour has it that Nathan has promised "Hols" ( as he playfully calls him !) his smoking jacket if he signs....

    He has had all these loans and nobody has gone on to make him a permanent deal and palace obviously don’t want him, does this not ring alarm bells with people, or are we judging him on a league 1 loan years ago for us, oh and he is good friends with TC, so that would be lovely. Move on!!

    So far for me

    Grant - tick
    Koumieto - tick
    Mesik - tick (think he’ll become a bit of a cult hero)
    McNamara - as long as he can shed his scum blood and play for the shirt I think he’s a useful addition.  My worry is Pat the Dog and F Troop were his whole existence and you take away the whole proper Wall bollocks that motivated him and his career to date, have we just got some has been that needed a wage.  Time will tell
    Alli - jury well and truly out

    need that dominant CM and other winger to be bloody good

    JRS doesn’t seem out of reach but is he really the type of winger Jones would want. Not really athletic or has the defensive workrate.
    I think the defensive requirement is less of a concern now he’d have a RB behind him (& our wingers no longer need to play as wing backs).

    Despite the acquisition of Grant our team still lacks goals & JRS would help solve that (whereas Kamara less so)
    It’s still a Nathan Jones team end of the day and he’s always going to have his non-negotiables. 

    Jones shipped off the forward with the most L1 goals because he couldn’t offer what Jones wanted from the other parts of the game. If we sign JRS I question at what point is this no longer a Jones side
    But we know that narrative is not true - we shipped him off because of family issues. Maybe Jones didn’t want him, but the facts we’ve learnt since show he need to get his family away from here.

    Everything I read suggests he plays on the left and has done most of his career, so doesn’t fit the profile surely?

    Sorry mate, hope I’m wrong. But pissing in the wind with that one. Look at his record. 

    I would be absolutely delighted if I’m wrong btw

    By some goals I’m not saying he’s going to score 15+. We don’t necessarily need someone to do that though, we just need lots chipping in with 5-10 and we’ve got plenty of players that are more than capable of hitting that

    If you exclude Godden, Grant has more championship goals than everyone else in our entire squad put together. 

    His record over the last 4 years isn’t fantastic but he has proven he physically can score a lot of goals at this level and unlike Godden he’s 28 opposed to 35. 

    Not to say Grant will, but the important thing is we know he can where with our other attackers it’s all based on speculation and hope

     Our wingers seems bit lopsided atm, we have 3 left winger that cut in to their right but we have just 1 left winger that cuts in to his left. Surely a winger is coming too on top of a cm or 2 
    why don't we play a right footed left winger on the right, and a left footed right winger on the left ? .. I won't say it ! .. simples  o:)
  • Keeping our powder dry infers that we've been biding our time waiting to make an offer. Any of our 'Sweaty' contingents linked with Holsgrove on social media?
    Implies  (apologies if this is rude to point out)
    It is
    Happy to buy Return of the SE7 a pint if he thinks I was rude. :)
    No mate, just pedantic, or am I using that incorrectly. I'll have the pint though.

    As long as we stay up again this season. I get to see a few wins. We beat Millwall away. It will be a great season.
