Ayew or Marsh?

[Lane Ender]

Good heavens. I would have expected £10k at absolute most

£10 is all I would give him in fact fck it he’d have to pay me

 

[Berkshire Blade]

any time Marsh has played at our level, even in cups against lower opposition, he has looked like a kid in a mans game. Miles off it right now. Maybe he gets there but physically I don't think he has it. Look at a Louie Reed who has had a great career in the lower leagues type future I suspect.

Reyt dilemma for Wilder, this.

Go with the British (pro) youngster (con) or the experienced (pro) forrin (con).

 

[S64 Blade]

Love seeing all the the outrage at something that is utter speculation.

I've heard that he's on £1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 per minute, and I'm furious.

It’s based on what evidence is out there. There’s no outrage, just educated guesses.

Happy to here a logical counter argument if you have one.

We get to name 9 substitutes. Surely we could find space to include a couple of the better up and coming players from the under 21 squad without leaving ourselves exposed. Just take a look at our bench on Saturday and it is a pretty depressing read. Of the 9 only Donavon and at a push possibly Cannon could be classed as players who are an an upward career trajectory. Of the rest nearly all are past their prime and on a downward path and unlikely (hopefully) to be with us in 12 months time. Personally I would rather see the likes of Marsh who have the potential to improve and develop rather than waste money on the likes of Ayew, Rothwell, Shackleton etc.

 

[YES Blade]

I just don’t see the point of the Ayew signing, he’s going to make very little, if any improvement to our final league position so he’s just a waste of money.

The transfer window has been shocking, complete waste of money.

Subs vs Stoke; Wilder’s view:
Davies - solid backup keeper
Doherty - culture carrier; experience >>> youth
Rothwell - see Doherty
Cannon - Wilder’s big bet. #9. £10,000,000.
Ayew - see Doherty
Donovan - contractual obligation to have him in the Matchday squad
Shackleton - unlucky with injuries. Had we not given him a 3 year deal he’d be tearing up the PL with Hull.
Chongeh - good lad
McGuinness - well, we needed a 9th sub.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Wonder how having 3 recent + RND ( 27 now) ex academy players starting in the side compares to the rest of the league?

What ‘evidence’ is there?

That subs bench is the definition of a club teetering on the edge of the abyss.
There is literally no hope for our future in there.
We are sleepwalking towards oblivion with Wilder's recruitment.
Where are the kind of signings he made in 16-19 ?
Unearthing young fit lower league players who put everything into our success coz they wanted to develop thenselves.
