KrolMong Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 If we could get 300k for Smith and Wilks AND get a striker in on loan. That would be a smart bit of business. In Rohls system, it has to stick to the number 9. That is Smiths biggest weakness. He’s a decent finisher, but his ability to link play is not great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tewksbury Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Think we'll have a good indication of who's on their way out v Hull, as they won't want potential sales/loans cup tied. Anyone who didn't start yesterday and isn't in the squad should be a good contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M42Owl Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Would the teams in for Wilks, Smith, or any of the youngsters care about them being cup tied? League is everything now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about that, Wrexham would love a good cup run again, it'll make them a fortune. Also, the League Cup is pretty frontloaded with regard to fixtures, so any reasonably ambitious club will still go for it for at least the first few rounds.

TheExile Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Yeah I thought that as they are similar. But I think cademarteri needs to work on his link play and passing whereas this guy may be a more advanced version of him. I think it raises questions on McNeil and whether we get a target man type too if he is the choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah especially the ones that seem to address glaring gaps in the make up of the squad. That height and physicality is rare in the team. There have been many windows where recruitment hasn’t made much sense or been made to suit one way of playing alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tewksbury Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Alex Miller has Johnson to Oxford as a possibility. I still think this is a weakness, I'm surprised that we haven't alrrady brought in another LB, as MJ can't do it, so if Lowe goes down, we'll have to go 352 of Famewo at LB.

Even without, when it gets to twice a week whoever is backup is going to have to start games as well as come on as a sub due to the intensity.

HoylandOwl Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Again, similarly to LG, Smith, we’re moving forward, and there’s no room for sentiment if we want to do that. I did think we’d see Pato stay though, as I got the sense that DR didn’t mind using Pato as the shitkicker when we needed it. But suppose, if Pato wants to play regularly then that might not happen.

TheExile Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Agree with most of the players being linked with moves out. But on Johnson and Smith I think it really depends on their replacements and their cost. Johnson is probably in his final season here but has quality and is fit as a butchers dog. Smith will never be first choice but we lose a physical dynamic without him. Smith is on good money and possibly Johnson too, so there must be all sorts to take into account, but would a replacement be cheaper?

TheExile Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 I’d be very reluctant to let Johnson move on after his performance tonight. Not just an engine but a really good leader on the pitch for some of the younger players. Can’t see anyone wanting to pay enough for him for it to be worth our while on balance. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
