Searching for 10k+ a week?

[bricat]

Plenty of Championship clubs sniffing round for a loan. Talks of Leicester giving him a new contract.

I suspect he's on more at the moment. If I was DC, for obvious reasons, I wouldn't have him back, and I'm sure he won't, but he fits the bill of what we need  and might be available. I'm a stubborn bar steward so if it was my money I wouldn't want him,  but it isn't so..... 

[Germanbird]

He signed!!!

Be interesting to see if he plays Saturday. I mean does he have the “volume”?

Great news, the more options the better. Just Wilks, Dean and Hirst to go and that should do us.

More chance of you punching fog than the last two rejoining us.

What's Dingle Mick up to 

Is he left footed?  

[Owling_Wolf]

I suspect we've been experinenting with James to see if he could fill in at LCB until Famewa is ready to come back. In view of what happened, no. So sign this lad on loan?

Obviously not a left footer so not a direct replacement.  Perhaps we should wrap Liam in cotton wool for the immediate future.

Sweepstake on what minute he gets injured on his debut 

[owl4ever1867]

Be interesting where he starts on Saturday, if he starts, I worry about our left hand side more than anything at the moment.

[bricat]

Meanwhile opposition sides will continue to cross from our left . Hardly rocket science. How long will it take for the coaching staff to address this?

Just on that. He spent almost a season out at Arsenal 18s with a quad problem. Did his calf on loan at Ipswich, and his ankle at Cardiff. 

Bet he can't wait to get on the Middlewood turf.

We apparently beat Wigan to McGuinness' signature.

[KrolMong]

I see McGuinness as more competition for Heneghan. Not sure what it means for Iorfa but, as has been repeatedly said, he’s looks out of his depth in this system at the moment, although he is physically the best of all them.

Just on Moore. He has two issues, he’s not worked on alternate systems when Plan A doesn’t work. And when an opposition coach looks to exploit a weakness, he’s slow to react.

Sunderland in the playoff semi last season, we. It needed a change of approach, and it didn’t come. This season, teams have changed mid game and we haven’t made adjustments.

We’ve got a very good squad, we can play some very good stuff, but, a good coach will work us out, and Moore doesn’t react to it.

Summed up perfectly, he's is a good manager but good doesnt get you promoted.

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

So we have signed another Central Defender who has historically played in a two, to go with another new signing who was included in the Team of the Season playing in a two.

Not sure what formation Henegan was used in at Wimbledon ?

I am a Moore fan but when are we going to line up to suit the squads strengths.  

Would 4-4-2 or a variation of 4-3-3 be more suitable ?

 

 

 

[Laceups]

Scratch that.

[TheExile]

Dropping Henegan was a bold move given he was due to be the lynchpin but he’s missed a few headers. McGuinness looks to have the attributes we need at this level just as storey and a young Danny Batth did.

It's who blinks first then simple as that, who has the biggest balls. Let em sweat until January DC, that'll soften the twats up.

We need him in before Jan.

[TheExile]

Hull only extended his contract to sell him this window really. So If they don’t they’ve just raised expenditure on wages and scored an own goal. For that reason I think it will come to a head very shortly 

[bricat]

Could have already agreed a deal. Hopefully with us. 

[tomcore]

Wilks might do a job. So might Smith when we see him. Would it be wrong to find another u23/21 player from the Prem? Try and get them on loan. Despite the uproar on Twitter I don't think we're far off a balanced squad. I know our loans have been hit and miss but a Brad Young style of player. Would probably suit us just as well as folking out for another high earner?

[bricat]

Stir reporter saying he had his medical yesterday

Edited August 21, 2022 by bricat

[KrolMong]

Wilks is a very good signing. We wanted pace and power, we’ve got it.

[Canterburyowl]

Done deal 👌 (well Att is following him apparently)

[Germanbird]

I guess that's the incoming business done for this window?

DM was talking about a third goalkeeper, but I hope he dismissed the idea in the meantime. How likely is it that both goalkeepers will be out injured at the same time?

I wouldn't mind another defender; we've got plenty of options in midfield and won't find another striker (after Wilks) anyway.

Outgoing:  Alex Hunt??
Keep:  FDB (unless somebody offers 2M) and Sow

Does anybody agree??

[Reesh]

I expect another one in at least and i never rule out bringing in another keeper.

Outgoings Hunt and some u21s

As both 'keepers crash into each other in the car park Monday? 

Remember about those 🍍?   😉

Definitely, after that debut!  😉

[TheExile]

For some reason I could see us going for another striker, particularly if there is a potential move away for Sow and given Smith and Gregory have had injuries 

[Lee]

There is no chance Hirst joins us. Nor is Carlos coming back. Just get a grip man!

[Lee]

1. I'm chilled and yep work in morning.

2. I refer you to my previous answer.

3. You started it 

[Lee]

It shouldn't but if I could pull a tree up I'd bash you, rather than your car with it.

Mallik Wilks deal expected to be completed and announced later today.

George Hirst init. Whoever it may be i'd expect we aren't quite done as yet although i'd think it would be in the loan market. The lad we had last year for Arsenal (IIRC) isn't doing too bad at Ipswich at the moment is he.

Fully expect Hirst to be named next Friday.😀

We already named him twice last season.  😉

 

[bricat]

Hirst got the choice of several good Championship sides.

[TheExile]

Malik Wilks certainly looks a character
