CONFIRMED BBD is back

[KMC-1889]

I'd like us to go for Cleary/Abdumalik as well as.

But at this stage, we need some quality and some depth so he would meet that criteria.

I’m assuming we don’t rate Abdulmalik cause there’s no way we can’t afford someone from National league. We’ve got a dozen U21s we could trade with them as well.

 

[LiamBG]

Worry for me is we’ve sold two of our best players in Brooks and Hamer and we have replaced them with loans. Long term that’s a recipe for disaster.

Is he on a free... because if he isn't that's not our budget

 

[S64 Blade]

I’m just chuffed we’ve got some sneaky hotel footage back. Been weirdly lacking in this kind of thing since Berge signed before Covid.

It really isn’t enjoyable awful to watch
My kids play more entertaining football and I don’t have to pay £30 a game to watch it

No offence to your kids but their supporters forum must be a bit shit...

 

[KMC-1889]

I doubt he’ll cost more than the loan fee and wages we’re paying for BBD, Phillips or Donovan. His signing fee will be a hell of a lot less than Doherty as well.

Free/Loans are ‘free’. You still have to spend money on them.

i would also like us to go for cleary even with bbd signing and maybe if burrows goes that may free some cash up for him

 

[NerdyBlade]

There’s nothing positive about this signing
It’s a lazy backwards signing
Shows we don’t scout anyone

Except the players we do scout - like Donovan, Webster, Riedewald

Maybe, and I could be wrong here, you're being negative for the sake of it and don't know what you're talking about?

How about the video…

Didn’t realise we’d signed Webster?
Donovan’s crap and Riedewald was a free agent at the time nothing special another one of our side to side and backwards midfield players.

We've had talks with Webster, but to get to that stage requires scouting

Even for a free agent, you have to scout them - you don't just pick them randomly

But tbh - you saying "Donovan's crap" just sums up you're a contrarian, and not even worth reasoning with. Could bring back Ndiaye or sign Lamine Yamal and you'd still have an issue with it

 

[Foxy]

Confirmed

[Thrice]

Third time's a charm?

First time I was excited, second time I was sceptical. Now I'm just underwhelmed.

But maybe he'll prove me wrong.

 

[Down the Channels]

Hopefully registered just in time to play some part in tomorrows game.

That’s the spirit

 

[007]

Good signing. Well done. Best of luck Ben.

 

[mattbianco1]

Think this one may have legs

Im taking that ITK, thank you please

 

[BangorBlade]

Tbh wasn't the left winger I wanted, but welcome back BBD

 

[jt64]

For fucks sake. I assume Khadra was unavailable?

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

Need to cut out cloth accordingly after the mess of last summer.

 

[b1ade4life]

How is he only 27 when he's been around for 15 years!!!

 

[TopBoy]

Adds much-needed balance to the starting 11, and in our present state is the best we could hope for.

Free/Loans are ‘free’. You still have to spend money on them.

You also have to give players who join a signing fee. Wilder has said multiple times loans and frees...so don't complain when that's all that happens

Mk1 Wilder outstanding MK2 Wilder meh, MK3 Wilder we will see.

Similarly Mk1 BBD outstanding, MK2 BBD meh, fingers crossed for MK3 BBD as the next coming of Jesus.

 

[Brian Deane]

So, it's another player to fill a gap. A tad underwhelming let's hope he's left the nesher side of him elsewhere.

 

[CPB]

Something that shouldn't be underestimated too, it's a new face and body in the dressing room and squad.
We've not brought in many. And sometimes you don't need many (We do need some!) but it's fresh faces and competition that can help squads improve.

 

[ml1997]

Good championship player in a position we’re in need. He’s a good signing.

 

[dexter101]

Not sure if this will work but I wanted to see what AI would come up with for a song about BBD to the tune of copacabana.

Its generated this monstrosity...

[YES Blade]

He’ll do I suppose, steady enough at this level. Could’ve signed worse
