Player Suggestion Souttar played and scored last night

[Nick Jansky]

I'm amazed I haven't seen Jake Cooper linked as a cheaper alternative. I know he's a bit older but surely he can do the same job, would link back up with Tanganga and it would stop the bastard scoring against us. Does he have injury issues that I don't know about?

Jake Cooper is not in his mid 30s and he doesn’t have a shocking injury record. He would need to tick at least one of those boxes for us to consider him.

He can carry as much culture as you need him to.

If he does have injury issues
I am sure he will be on our radar

Behave, we don't have a radar - we have one target and then a blind flail when that doesn't work

North Wales or knowing lots of Wrexham fans?

There’s some amazing places in North Wales. Especially in the Snowdon region.

Im not far from Caernarfon so it's on my doorstep.
Also means im 3hrs from BDTBL so i don't visit as often as i should

I've just spent the last week in Brecon which is the furthest I've been in to Wales. It's an incredible place!

I assume with us talking about holidays we don't know who's won the race (albeit slow one) for Souttar?

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Yeah not sure about Souttar but I didn't know how stunning parts of Scotland are

 

[Kenilworth]

We’re incredibly lucky in the United Kingdom. So many beautiful places to visit and see. Been to Edinburgh, recently. What a beautiful city that is.


Mind you. Coventry is still a shit hole.

Wilder can be so stubborn. Time to walk away from this , we are been made to look desperate fools.

But walk away to where? Any holiday destination suggestions?

 

[Keen Blade]

Yes we would no doubt be in for a season of pain we did somehow manage to get promoted but to get there we would have had a season of joy
Also the extra finances could help with our Dore facility I think it would be worth the pain

Yeh but we would need to ensure we spent the whole £ on Dore etc and not tarting up the financials like the Prince did when he was desperate to sell the club.
We'd still come straight down but at least the club would have invested in its future and not lined the pockets of journeymen & agents in a forlorn attempt to stay up.

yes walk away, I think Baptiste and Mcguiness can do a job for us this year if we concentrate on the goals, spend the dosh on a goal scorer, the other end of the pitch, Souttar may be ok but injuries are going to happen so if we sign him we still need backup. Get a grip blades for some reason we have just blown our forward line with the sale of Hamer and Brooks, Souttar aint going to score too many, our defence could be okay so why the emphasis on this guy is the saviour, I just don't get it.

 

[Blades Glory Owls Down]

I think the reason that Wilder has tunnel vision on Souttar is the way he commanded the defence in his half a season with us.
He just seemed to project a calmness that brought the best out of the players around him. It showed after he got injured and we started to stumble.
Wilder will be hoping for a similar impact again and, it would seem, is willing to overlook his previous injury concerns.
It is a big risk, but if it works, could be the difference between a top 8 finish and mid/low table mediocrity. It could also have a big impact on Tanganga as the pressure will be off him to be the leader of the group and he can focus on simply being a very good defender.
The big risk is, him having a recurrence of previous injuries and then we have to resort to either finding an alternative (if possible during the transfer window/free agent market) to fill a big space, or having to utilise a promising, yet inexperienced Baptist or McGuinness who WIlder has already told that he doesnt fancy.......

The issue I have is, who can we identify, who has the attributes of Souttar that would be a viable option?
Webster as a free agent, who, if fit, could be a good addition but also has injury concerns recently?
Cashin. Not as commanding a defender as the others.
Anel. Dont think he will be back in the UK any time soon. Could see a move to Italy for him.

Lets see what happens over the next week or so.

The fact we’ve obsessed over one player all summer and not been able to get the deal done, wreaks of ineptitude. We want him, Leicester need the money, the player wants to come and we’ve STILL not managed to get it over the line, now he’s signing for fucking Deadpool. Makes us look pathetic.
The fact we’re starting this season with a markedly weaker team than we ended the last, is a piss poor reflection (but accurate) of everyone involved at the club.
Today has the Bristol City game written all over it.

 

[FTPE]

Whats stubborn about wanting a number 1 target? When we miss out on players we piss and moan, now we chase one and pull out all the stops... weeeeee, piss and moan.

The best thing about this forum is the ignore button.

Do you not think it might be Leicester that keep changing the goalposts
Apparently theyve got previous for this kind of thing

now he’s signing for fucking Deadpool. Makes us look pathetic.

Is he signing for Wrexham ??

 

[Stef]

Yeah, probably. But if they do that, have a plan b, so you get the power back. We’ve gone all in and shown our hand so early, we’ve let them dictate all the negotiations

Last season we threw away so many points due to our leaky defence. If we fix that play offs are possible

That's an Australian website. $19m Australian Dollars is about £9.5m, which is what's been reported elsewhere.

19.5 million australian dollars is approximately £9.5m pounds sterling ( which is about what has been reported as our latest bid).

 

[FTPE]

For £10m call it off.
Get Joe Gelhardt and Anel
