As many of you know I work in Coventry and rumour here yesterday was that Cov City want Ajose, not sure if loan or purchase. I’m trying to find out if any truth in it or just made up crap.
Finally being sent to Coventry! ....................Poor Cov
My sole priority is the best player possible in any position.
Naturally if you had a choice between two equal players and one was home grown I would go for them. So in the case of Phillips, it’s his shirt unless a player comes in who is a better and more capable player.
Fact is we need to get out of this shitshow of a league and we are only gonna do that with the best players we can get.
If that’s Phillips - brilliant. If that’s another keeper who is better - that’s fine.
We haven’t got time to me sentimental over someone being proper Charlton.
Post of the year.
We should sign the best players we can find & attract. Playing Magennis upfront because he's a 'nice bloke' or Phillips in goal because he is 'home grown' will get us nowhere.
If there's better available and we have the budget then sign them up and let's get out of this shite division.
Think you are completely missing the point. Roland is in charge. These players are what we have. If Mag goes do you think there is any chance of us getting a replacement in? Nope. If we get in a number 1 then Phillips wants out. If he goes we are no better off as we still have AMB as no 2. If he stays he will be unhappy and that's hardly good for a small squad.
We shouldn't be worrying about promotion. We should be worrying about having enough players of a good enough standard to keep us safe from the relegation fight this year. Any more is a bonus.
No need to focus on areas where we already have capable players (even if they aren't promotion standard) let's focus on the massive glaring holes elsewhere in the squad.
I think this would be my starting lineup for Sunderland (if fit). Still think we need further attacking options on the bench, we have very few creative wingers outside of our first 11. 4-3-3 with the ball, 4-5-1 without it.
Don't think Bowyer would ever play a 4-3-3 and Fosu is out unfortunately. If everyone were fit I'd probably agree. Or even go 4-4-2 with a diamond in midfield with Fosu at the point of the diamond. Thought we looked better when we switched to a diamond on Tuesday night, and given we have one fit senior wide player under contract (Marshall) I don't see how fielding a flat 4-4-2 is a good option.
It's noticeable that all the players Bowyer is trying to sign are big lumps. Taylor, Ince, Pratley etc.
It was also noticeable in the play-offs that Shrewsbury were just bigger and stronger. Glad he's trying to put that right, while keeping the ball on the deck too.

I will drive him to Coventry today, or Aberdeen if he wants!

Not rumours but I’ve been looking at players who are available on a free transfer that could make us a better team.
Two players really stood out, Stephen Quinn and Mustapha Carayol. Someone who can unlock the door in Quinn and Carayol is a quick winger, an option if we weren’t to sign Dawkins I think.
If Magennis or Ajose were to leave, I’d still love us to bring in Darren Bent. Even at his age, he can surely score goals in this division.

What was the latest with Ince?
Still on trial and playing tomorrow.
Big lump
Considering he has not been training with anyone he did ok against Brighton.

Will allow LB to bring in Dawkins, Ince and Ward if he wants to. Not sure it gives him room to manoeuvre a replacement for Josh. Can see Ward not signing unless Paddy departs but where we replace Magennis with similar quality with no budget is a conundrum. Premier League loan methinks.

He makes Lisbie look prolific.

Actually you're right, he was shit.
Pedant out

Looks like he has potential
It will be handy not losing a player when N Ireland play and we can't postpone matches
