There definitely is a change in strategy this season, we appear to be buying players who are either proven in this league or have a good pedigree in English football, which compared to 2 or 3 years ago is a huge improvement on players like loic nego etc.
Hopefully the manager can utilise these players coming in now and regardless of how we do this season I hope he keeps his job for next season as stability is a must for us now.24 -
Watt can't/won't pass, so no. Pretty much all number 10's in the world have the vision to pick a pass, he doesn't.2

Looks an improvement on Foley.1

Not cut it in the Championship. Good for here and now, but the likes of him and Pearce won't cut it if we have aspirations of competing well in the Championship. HOWEVER, right now we have to try and fight our way out of this shit league, so welcome!5

Nathan Byrne was superb at Swindon, an attacking, mainly right footed wing back.
I'd expect him to play in front of Solly. I'd absolutely love him to sign on a permanent.
However, I thought Ajose from Swindon would be an excellent signing, so there's never any certainty, but Byrne is far more skillful than Ajose.6 -
Cawley reporting this as a loan deal2

Dempsey is a similar player to Stephens.
Think he found it a bit tough jumping from league 2 to championship at a young age but wouldn't surprise me if he develops into a championship midfielder in a couple of seasons.
Huddersfield payed £300k for him from Carlisle, the rumour is that Kyle Robinson wants a no10 he is one on our shortlist. Katrien bid £100k for them to recall him from Fleetwood and sell to us. Lol3 -
All the shouting will tire him out - so he'll fade even quicker.killerandflash said:
It'll be Croft's role in the team to keep shouting at Watt "pass the f***ing ball!"ShootersHillGuru said:
Watt can play a bit there's no question of that but I'm not sure he sees an early pass often enough to be a playmaker. He likes to retain possession a bit too long in many cases.killerandflash said:
Could Tony Watt play in the number 10 role? He likes to drop deep and roam, so doesn't seem like a target man or fox in the box.Charlton_Stu said:
That's what i reckon will happen and Da Silva or Chicksen in front of Page, and when Holmes is fit play in the number 10 role.killerandflash said:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3734645/Wolves-winger-Nathan-Byrne-wanted-Wigan-Preston.html#
Is he a winger or a full back? This article from the summer describes him as a "tricky winger" so maybe he could also play in addition to Solly in the way Chicksen has been playing ahead of Fox recently0 - Sponsored links:

There's no truth in that story .................................she said soThe Red Robin said:I wonder if Katrien will try and ship Solly to Gillingham again.

Pearce is probably our best defender. Similar to Morrison but is better at passing. Possibly Slades best signing.supaclive said:Not cut it in the Championship.

Will not be what we need in the Championship, IMHO.Redhenry said:

Yeah we don't need those good defenders.9

Over the moon if this one comes off. He was one of the best player in league 1 a few years ago and got a move to Wolves which didn't really work out before moving on to Wigan.
There's no way he'd be coming to sit on the bench as cover for Solly. I'd expect him to play on the right wing in a 4-2-3-1. He's very quick and the type of player we should be signing if we're serious about promotion. Fingers crossed it's permanent rather than just a loan.1 -
So say Byrne does play right wing. Can a fit Ricky Holmes play opposite him on the left wing? Or would you expect him to be better as a no.10?0

To repeat - they are fine for getting us out of this dog shit league, but IF we can get out of it and IF we want to be competitive in the Championship and therefore want to be playing in the Premiership, they aren't good enough at that level.2

So weve let 3 go and brought 3 in, with possibly one more coming in. That means we are 1 player better off. The squad size issue is a long way from being resolved right now, heres hoping we have another 3 or 4 potentially coming in.3

Cuban heels?roseandcrown said:if can get him in and 1 more cm in without any going apart from Johnson or Ba think we would have had a good window and Robinson has acted quick and address the obvious issue with have had of lack of energy and pace in the team.

In fairness I don't think it's fair to expect any league one club to buy top championship / lower PL players with a view to getting in the premier league. By buying young they have room to improve as we (hopefully) progress up the league.supaclive said:To repeat - they are fine for getting us out of this dog shit league, but IF we can get out of it and IF we want to be competitive in the Championship and therefore want to be playing in the Premiership, they aren't good enough at that level.
The plan is solid, the regime have a poor record of executing a plan even remotely well.5 -
To be honest, all I care about (on the pitch anyway) is getting out of this division!supaclive said:To repeat - they are fine for getting us out of this dog shit league, but IF we can get out of it and IF we want to be competitive in the Championship and therefore want to be playing in the Premiership, they aren't good enough at that level.
And it's hard to tell which players will push on and make it at a higher level anyway. Apart from Simon Francis who would have though that Charlie Daniels (who had 4 seasons at Orient before he joined Bournemouth), Steve Cook and Harry Arter would become PL regulars?3 -

Better at passing? His distribution is pretty shoddy. Bauer and Tex a MASSIVE upgrade in that department.Redhenry said:

You'll be hard pushed to sign players, playing in The Championship, that want to drop to League 1.supaclive said:To repeat - they are fine for getting us out of this dog shit league, but IF we can get out of it and IF we want to be competitive in the Championship and therefore want to be playing in the Premiership, they aren't good enough at that level.
Why would they ?
Get promotion and then you have to build again.1 -
' I can't wait to sign Reeves in the summer when I'm Coventry manager' Robinson also added.8

A little communication goes a long way. Nice to know we asked the question, got the answer and moved on. Putting it in the public domain does no harm as any deal is dead in the water anywayCallumcafc said:6 -
