  • I would love Piggott back but he's got a club like Forest, Luton or Bristol City written all over him. I do think if he moves to a club in league 1 though I imagine we would be his only choice 

    I like we are in for Fraser, worth splashing a lot of the budget on imo

    Excited for the signing today, a lot of good players linked so fingers crossed 
    Are we in for Scott Fraser?

    Luton have signed two strikers so not sure they will bring a third in

    Depends if you believe @Covered_End_Lad - I don’t think he’s making it up but it doesn’t mean we’ll get him. 

    I don’t see why we wouldn’t be, he’s a player who’s stood out at this level in a position we need to strengthen.
    Cheers I hadnt seen that he'd mentioned Scott Fraser
  • Current players in the squad likely dictate a 433 with dobson as the anchor and Albie and Gilbey as the two with more freedom playing behind stockley and two wingers. We are however in the market for another attack minded central midfielder, one of those on our list is Fraser however there are a multitude of clubs in for him. 

    Several posters saying they think that Adkins will only play  with1 striker.

    And maybe he will. But he's long enough in the tooth and savvy enough to have a different Plan B.
    Last season he wasn't afraid to throw in Chuks alongside Stockley, for example. Washington too.

    There may be also cover for Stockley coming in, but Adkins will definitely want another quality striker signed to replace Aneke.


  • If we got piggot to replace chuks and got rid of schwartz to bring in mullin our front 4 would be something else with stockley and washington

    JFC is staying according to Cawley 
    Ah ffs, maybe he can take Ronnie instead ?

    Not surprised, seemed odd that any other club would be so desperate to sign JFC that they’d offer him a contract while he’s got a long term injury.
  • Who makes up the guff about JFC?

    midfield is where we need to push the boat out if you ask me - wouldn't rate our chances of going up with morgan or gilbey as first choice tbh

    A lot of people do it seems. People were wetting themselves this morning when a random poster just posts...." JFC to Birmingham". As if. The bloke is just getting over a major injury & not likely to be playing for another 6 months. Couldn't pass a bus let alone a medical.

    The guff some people swallow.

    I would say the same about the rumour regarding Jordan Ibe - but as that came from @Henry Irving I wouldn't dismiss it so quick. But he might be playing games or hungover from the Grant Money the museum has just been given.

    I've always wondered this about the transfer medical. Surely there are different criteria as to what a player is expected to 'pass'.

    ie Criteria 1 = Fit to play tomorrow
    Criteria 2 = Carrying a slight knock but will be ok to play in a couple of weeks
    Criteria 3 = JFC

    Anyone know?

    Young Sage, who is an expert suggested there would be multiple aspects of a medical he couldn't take even if the advice was his ACL would be fine.

    I’ve deleted the comment and can we just draw a line under it for now please.  

    Let’s hopefully enjoy these 3 impending signings @DOUCHER talks of.  If they don’t happen, you have our permission as moderators to pile into him and expose him as the fraud that he is 
    Has @Dazzler21 signed off this statement? (Friday he's busy washing @AFKABartram car)
    Until such time as that's been clarified I'll err on the side of caution, thank you.
    ;)
    I have not. 

    I would like to state that this statement is now fully backed by the board of Administrators.
