Incoming? Broja Sainz

[Frank the tank]

Is Bootle in Andalusia now?

Bootleonia

 

[thehet]

I'm not saying he will but writing off the lads career and denigrating his achievements this year on this weekend of all weekends seems to me like a bit of a stretch for something to moan about

Why, is he a mother or something?

Why, is he a mother or something?

No we won and are top of the league but that's obviously not good enough

We won and are top of the league but it had nothing to do with Brooks. His last telling contribution was Watford away, however long ago that was. Before that, I don't remember.

I never said it was although he did actually play the other night and did nothing wrong so why you've gone after him is anyone's guess

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Beware the hot streak. He's scored 2 in 16 since starting the season on fire

Would he make a mark in the PL?

And would he be a Hamer replacement?

He's got 1 year on his contract which may make him affordable. Same with Sargent

The Leon Clarke effect. Scores 9 goals in 4 games then only 2 in his next 17 games.

I'd like us to show a bit of ambition an intent next season instead of the usual bargain hunt in the Championship. I'm not saying he's not a quality player but this has the same feeling as previous campaigns. Can we not learn from our mistakes just for once.

If said it endless times, this club needs a director of football.

Plenty of intent shown if you buy the right champ players. We could have had Toney, Watkins and Bowen instead of McBurnie, Robinson and Brewster. It’s about picking the right ones.

 

[Danetheblade]

What are you talking about? You're arguing a totally different point.

If Brooksy plays for us in the Prem next year feel free to DM me and I'll buy your next drink.

Didn’t he play for us in the premier league last time? Seem to recall a few cameos where he looks competent.

If you totally disregard the fact we could to afford their wages and Watkins fee was well out of our range then yes you're rightb

 

[Blades1971]

When were McBurnie , Robinson ever PL standard.

 

[SGBlade]

If you totally disregard the fact we could to afford their wages and Watkins fee was well out of our range then yes you're right

Tony went to the championship. But I agree we were priced out of Watkins. Suspect we could have had Bowen instead or Brewster? In any case, the point was whether there are decent players in the championship that could make a difference in the Prem, which there clearly are, if you get the scouting right.

 

[Balham]

More than a few cameos, Brooks played in over half our Premier League games last season: 12 starts and 8 sub appearances.

And contributed less than he has done this season.

Brooks, Seriki and One out on loan to a top 10 ambitious championship team next season. JRS back to palace. Sara, BBD, Souttar, Dunne and Sargent in, extend Ahmedhodzic deal, minimum. Sainz backup. Is what you id be doing. That way even if we come back down and lose the likes of hamer and Souza we’ve got a solid team, youth players coming back with experience and money in the bank.

If we got promoted I’d be aiming higher than Souttar. Not sure he’s got the agility and athleticism for the PL.

we couldnt have Watkins or Bowen - you did approach both -both got offered better deals double what we offered/ could afford at least

Its not Champ Manger (or whatever the kids play now)
You don't just get your pick of the Championship players just because you've been promoted
Other clubs want the best ones too, bumping the prices up considerably

Danny says no interest

Well he's no Dan Burn, Harry Maguire, Lewis Dunk, or James Tarkowski that's for sure.

Fair enough. The broader point is there is definite Prem quality to be had in the champ / L1 if you scout well and approach early. Looks like we did this well with Burrows, who looks like having the potential. Agree it’s a competitive market but it’s still one I think we should be fishing in, as well as looking at European leagues.

 

[Bladesman]

 

[Nick Jansky]

That’s a relief. We need better.

 

[Carlton Blade]

All he does is shoot. Wilder would never play him

 

[robbiez666]

Looks like a shit pirate wannabee gang member, plays like a shit pirate wannabee gang member.

 

[Champagneblade]

I wasn’t that impressed with him.

We should just sent Norwich lots of Stoke videos and use Cannon as a makeweight for Sargeant.
