He was pretty dreadful for us but don't think you could particularly knock him for effort, he was just shite. Thankfully it doesn't seem as though he's re-signing based off that Instagram comment.

True, that's why I don't understand people getting worked up over players we won't and shouldn't sign.

I’m not even saying we should sign him, but he’s still better than why we’ve got.

It says more about us as a club but it’s the truth.

Is he though really. Griggs record is better. Just because the current strikers have been woeful doesn;t mean DG is better. We should be aiming higher imo. I hope they don't sign another striker until takeover resolved one way or the other. We may get better.

There has been know income for League one clubs since February, only outgoings. Where does the money come from?

You were pulling people up for saying that the likes of Fleetwood, Oxford, Peterborough etc manage to sign the right type of players. Did you think he was only talking about the last few months? This is a symptom of a problem within the club that has existed for the entire time we've been at this level.

If you don't know who they're signing, how do you know they're signing the right players? What a complete mess of an argument.

Portsmouth: Signed 1 player. 26 years old and his highest level of playing was the Championship, where he's only played 9 games. Played most of his games at Non-League.

Oxford: Brought in 4 lads on permanents. The only one comparable to Danny Graham is Matty Taylor who is also a Striker. 30 year old and his Championship record is absolutely horrendous, especially when in comparison to Danny Grahams. Matty Taylor: 7 goals in 67 games. Danny Graham: Miles better.

They've also brought in Sean Clare (23), who's only really played in the Scottish League, and a couple of young lads probably for the u23's.

Fleetwood: Jordan Rossiter, couldn't get in the (poor) Rangers squad and has played on average less than 6 games per season since his debut in 2015. Huddersfield's reserve goalkeeper that they released. They've brought in Callum Camps who is f***ing excellent on FM and has played consistently for Rochdale (200+ games at 24 years old).

Peterborough: Daniel Gyollai, doesn't even have a wikipedia, so fuck knars - goalkeeper that's only played youth games. Ethan Hamilton, 21 year old released by Man United, spent the last 3 seasons on loan at League One and has failed to play 15 games in each season.



Which players stand out to you as the right transfers?

Compare them with SAFC's: Bailey Wright, proven championship CB. Captain of Bristol City, whilst they challenged for Play-Offs. Aiden O'Brien, played consistently for Millwall in the Championship.

SAFC Potentials: Morgan Feeney, highly rated youth CB. Danny Graham, proven goalscorer in Championship and League One.

Disappointed we didn't go for Camps. Taylor did well for Oxford last year. Hull seem to have done some decent business and if they hold onto Eaves I think they'll be up there.

I agree we should be looking elsewhere, but my point was he’d be capable at this level.
