Player Suggestion Hamza Choudhury

[Millhousesblade1889]

In which case what a great signing Doherty was

I don’t think he trusts Doherty to be our main RB option….or Shackleton (both his signings too)

 

[bonobo]

I liked Choudhury and would have thought it a good signing at the start of the window. But now we have resigned Phillips and Reideweld in CM and we need a right back who will get us forward and give us width, if Seriki is out long term. I just don't see how it adds anything.

 

[Champagneblade]

I'm happy about it but it's so comical.

Who else did we sign that January? Gerrem in!

Anyone at the hotel tonight

 

[NathTheBlade]

Really hope this happens, always liked him in his previous spell

 

[FriethBlade]

Cooper
Doherty Tanganga Worrall McCallum
Brereton Choudhury Phillips Peck O'Hare
Bamford

Why the @@@@ wd we sign Choudhury ti play CM when hes already signed Rothwell, Jairo and Phillips for the same position and we have glaring needs elsewhere ?

If you're bringing in a 34yo that you have no confidence in starting, then you shouldn't be bringing him in in the first place

 

[CoatesyBlade]

I like Hamza… a lot! But surely there’s more pressing areas of the pitch that need addressing. We desperately need some creativity! And another CB wouldn’t go a miss!

 

[sufc323]

Got to give it to the scouting team this summer, bet they’ve put some hours in watching our old matches

 

[Aston max]

We're going to try and 0-0 everyone to death

Lucky lucky punters

Fuck me I hope we're not looking at 0-0 wins

 

[Booker4]

We couldn’t assemble a more boring squad if we tried

Wilder… hold my beer

I get your point but I don't think this season is the season for expansive attacking football because we just can't afford to not be solid at the back and we've lost Hamer and Brooks of course. Wilder wanted the likes of Lewis Dobbin but he chose elsewhere. Our wage bill is too high, as is the number of players. So this season is about keeping it tight defensively, BBD and Cannon likely to provide the outlet on the counter which will suit both.

They'll be games, especially at home, where we attack more but you have to recognise that attacking threat is not where the strengths of this team is at right now. It's very disappointing I know. But I don't believe the blame should be at Wilder's door.

 

[Smirth]

Unlike BBD, this signing is not sensible at all. He’s not a specialist RB, he’s not a seriki replacement. It’s just another lazy recruitment option for our non existent scouting department and wilder.

[Guesty]

Mother of fucking God.

It's so far beyond parody now.

Sooner bettis and wilder go the better. This club will move forward just same old shit every time We never go for pace or anything

Nail on the head.

Covers 3 positions RB, CM and CB (at a push), always available, can play 90 minutes twice a week.

Instead we signed Doherty & Reidewald who can do 60 mins every other game.

Have to pass on him now and accept what we’ve got

 

[brownblade]

If he was our first or second choice DM I'd be happy. We have about 4 DMs already.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

If you're bringing in a 34yo that you have no confidence in starting, then you shouldn't be bringing him in in the first place

Agreed, possibly he didn’t play today due playing on Tuesday & maybe with an eye on next week….but it seems odd he didn’t get any minutes

 

[Varkanoid]

Shackleton is going to be a big big player for us this season....

Love his high chairs.

 

[Bladesman]

That's how we do business.

 

[Ukkonen]

Really hope this happens, always liked him in his previous spell

He played well for us last season, he can cover multiple positions, we can have confidence he won't be constantly injured.

Hopefully this is 1 of 3 signings with the other two being the creative ones.

 

[Davalon]

That book of transfer targets really is just the same set of names.

I quite like Hamza but again where does this fit in with what we need?

Has any other manager or club be so utterly obsessed with bringing back so many players whove been here before?

 

[diplomat]

I don’t think he trusts Doherty to be our main RB option….or Shackleton (both his signings too)

But Doherty must be on a fair old wedge? Hamza would be too. These kind of signings must be frustrating to our contracted players who may have development and resale potential when they come up for contract discussions and we do the old pulling out of the empty pockets routine when they ask for a bump.

 

[Eddiecolquhounsleg]

Why is the SUFC logo on the contract book upside down ?

Damn you. Until you pointed that out I thought it was real.

 

[Nick Jansky]

Weren't there some on here wanting McGoldrick back after the Mansfield game

There are still those who would have Billy Sharp back

 

[Nick Jansky]

They’ve spent most of the summer in the Central Library digging through old Pathe News reels.

 

[Badger Blade]

Hamza was brilliant at right back, not arsed on him in midfield.
Also begs the question of what the point of signing Doherty is when he's a bona fide right back, is in the squad but hasn't been used when our first choice is injured.
