Lack of transfers concerning?

[Mboma]

I doubt it as he was alluding to it not being a positive. And I think we all think that KLD falling out with SD and CM would be brilliant

Ha! Wouldn't it just!

 

[Whitburnmakem]

Yes because Josh Hawkes and a 2 million pound 28 year old from Shrewsbury or somewhere are the only two players on the entire planet.

We might not need to buy someone we may have players better coming through !!! It’s not always about spending money

I've likely read it wrong in the context of @rubberface post cos I assumed the deeper thing was in relation to the comment about Wright leaving or not, as there's been rumblings it's not a unanimous agreement in the club.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

reckon that might have been from Bob saying agents don’t like us at moment due to his negotiating

Probably because we aren't kowtowing to them any more.

The people complaining about not replacing all the players who left are also the ones complaining about young players not getting a chance. They can't have it both ways.

I didn't say it was. I suggested it was it was utter nonsense that the only other option to Josh Hawkes is 2 million quid 28 year old made up Shrewsbury player.

Deeper.

This thread, and another, you’ve hinted at knowing things but won’t say what it is.

It’s a bit like a kid in the playground telling their mate they know a secret, then telling them they can’t say it.

Exactly that’s what I’m saying you have to clear the way for young players to get in the team

I dont think they all fit in that box. Might be a fair point if we had 2 full backs mind.

Why are you writing off hawkes and insisting we sign someone instead ! Do you ever learn

Presumably you won't be wanting us to sign any full backs this season then. You can't have it both ways as you say.

I haven't even written him off. Are you ok?

 

[rubberface]

Only through Chinese whispers but it’s probably originated from on here!

Not on my behalf mate.Been straight as a dye .

So put us all out of our misery. What’s ‘deeper’

Nowt to do with Wright mate...just the lack of activity.

 

[Coeus]

Buying a couple of older injury prone chaps isn't conducive to bringing in youth, I'm not aware of any fullbacks ready to step up nor seen any pre season either?

 

[redgauntlet]

'kin ell man. Not a chance

Even with Donald at the helm and Parky playing 7 at the back we were still on the fringes of automatic promotion

Not with this squad.

More depth.

So Johnson’s got the hump with KLD then?

 

[Scorer]

Well it’s give them time to look at them and asses them it could save us a fortune

Hawkes isn’t getting start ??? the season hasn’t even started ! he’s getting linked with West Ham and Spurs etc that suggests he’s good enough for league 1

My dad nearly signed for West Brom but he didn’t. These days it would probably have at least been mentioned by football insider. “ Baggies scout £2.00 per week none league beast. Club legend states “ he could be defensive behemoth”.
Hawkes looks to have potential but those links are pure speculation.

 

[North Yorks Mackem]

I'm beginning to agree, unless we are happy to be a perennial feeder club and remain in league one with little or no ambition for eternity.

We'll have far less power keeping promising kids and allowing them to develop into potential big money transfers in league 1. To the point that it could become a detriment to the first team.

The getting the house in order and running ourselves self sufficiently is also extremely unlikely if we're averaging 15k which will probably happen if the stay in this league is extended much further.

We pulled a big chunk of season ticket holders back with the new owner and the hope of a better future. But I suspect patience will be in very short supply this season.

That's not what I said, There are positions where we are short on numbers, and others where there are young players with the potential to step up. It's the assumption that every player leaving needs to be replaced by one coming in which is flawed; if there's a young player who can step up that's not the case.
