Incoming? Lewis Dobbin

[General Jase]

I could think of more worse case scenarios.

Totally.
Thats to worry about if by some absolute miracle we did get promoted

 

[TJ blade]

Donovan must be thinking what the fck have done coming here

I get you, personally i feel we will be well short. That said if we did achieve promotion what state would we be in squad wise?

God I've missed that gif

Is it just me that isn't that concerned?

We need a CB and a LM/LW - although we could potentially move Burrows out wide and have SMc at LB

Plenty of the window left, and we've got decent players around 80% of the pitch

 

[bertieblade]

Interesting that Norwich had dobbin on loan 24/25, subsequently will know a lot about him yet chose Brooks

They wanted a right winger. They have two left wingers already.
Dont read too much into things

 

[FTPE]

So, is it dead in the water or not?
Villa now want a sale, and we won't pay it? Right?
We can probably write Souttar off as well then.
I dont understand how we expect to get players on loan when other teams will just buy them outright

I'd add another CM to that list, and then we will need to replace other outgoings, but otherwise I agree.

 

[Torrix1889]

The worst part is if we were to scrape promotion what kind of a squad would we have? Full of loans and frees. God help us

Don't think that is even a remote possibility..

 

[NerdyBlade]

Don't think that is even a remote possibility..

Hull did it with an arguably weaker squad than we have

Hell, Wilders first promotion squad was considerably weaker than current

 

[Wright1889]

I’d take a lot of first team players from wilders first promotion push over this team, wouldn’t you?

Its called being skint & poorly run mate.

 

[UddersBlade]

Sadly this is where we are now…..frees & loans. We’ve squandered circa £500 million over the last 7 years to get back to this position!!!! Frightening.

Yes as it had Mark Duffy

 

[Yogi]

Villa are apparently looking to sell Dobbin and a whole host of their decent youngsters this summer.

Good news if you’ve got cash to spend bad news I’d like United you’re seemingly looking for loans

 

[Wards]

I suspect there are no permanent offers on the table as it stands and agents/intermediaries are doing their very best to whip up a deal. Wouldn't at all surprise me if we had an acceptable loan offer on the table but they were holding out to see if a permanent offer comes in.

[FredZeppelin]

I can't believe people on this thread are talking about us possibly being promoted!

I genuinely think we'll be looking at the other end of the table if a couple more leave, which it looks like they have to in order to balance the books.

Mid table will be a good season

 

[Blade56]

Mid table will be a good season

Mid table = Play-offs this season

 

[Keen Blade]

They've got 3 left wingers now

I spent most of my money on birds booze and fast cars.
The rest I just squandered

Then again ,
When we do buy players , we get Brewster & Cannon.
Tbh , us buying players is a bit over-rated.

Absolutely this

 

[Bladesman]

 

[FoxtrotAlphaZulu]

And I remember Wilder saying in a post match interview at the end of last season, "I guarantee we won't be in the same position next season as we are this".

He's right... we'll be lower!

In fairness you need to squander a whole lot more than that in order to avoid ending up back here.
