    Learning form their mistakes last year I see targeting high League 1 goalscorers....................Ajose, Novak
    I remember when he broke through at Norwich he looked decent. But that was a decade+ ago. It's an excellent point: not all League One goalscorers are created equal, as Ajose and Novak have taught us. If you're a team that is going to play on the counter, look to exploit space in behind, and/or get crosses into the box early and often then the likes of Ajose and Novak could well get you goals. But it seems Robinson wants to play high tempo, pressing, possession-based football and neither one is suited to that. I don't understand us going after another L1 level poacher, or really any forward who cannot play up front on their own. I mean is he even realistically significantly better than Ajose?!?!

    how much is enough though? I reckon a bid of 750k and he's gone.

    surely this whole holmes saga is just his agent trying to get him a better deal from stacy

    I have no idea if Ricky will be re-homed this Summer, but I do know that it is nigh on a certainty that this lot with screw up yet another transfer window.

    Carruthers to Charlton rumour picking up pace in Sheffield. Mrs is giving him grief as she can't settle in Sheffield (I don't blame her)

    I dont mind if we sign one or two ex MK Dons players but anymore than that and it becomes a bit of a joke!!

    I thought Holmes only signed for us in the mistaken belief that Wild Man would be the manager.

    He was misled and wants out. Don't blame him.

    Wilder joined Sheff Utd on May 12th, our third bid for Holmes was accepted for Holmes on 16th June.

    When Holmes joined I was seriously underwhelmed now I would be gutted to see him leave, he isn't a normal winger, games don't pass him by and he is hardly ever on the periphery. He chases lost causes and always puts a shift in.

    Not sure on Carruthers but would be astounded if he was not a massive step down on Holmes.

    Caruthers seems decent but if it is a sweetener to get us to sell Holmes to Sheff Utd they can do one

    Carruthers is a defensive central midfielder. Holmes is an attacking winger. One wouldn't replace the other.

    Two completely different players arent they?

    I was under the impression that Carruthers is more of the Crofts type player that sits in front of the Defence?

    I was sure that KR was touting him as a talented and creative wide man when we were pursuing him in January?

    So did Wilder

    "He is an attacking midfielder who can fit into a number of positions and we are looking forward to introducing him to our great group," boss Chris Wilder told the club website.
  • KR will just fill the squad with mediocre ex MK Dons players - typical of a lazy manager who hasn't got a decent scouting network to keep resigning the same players.
    We look destined for another crap season especially if Holmes goes.

    I'm not Robinsons biggest fan and we have every right to be sceptical of yet another transfer window but let's wait and see before we go too overboard with the doom and gloom.

    I'm not hopeful but I'm not slitting my wrists just yet.

    This.......

    We will no doubt be underwhelmed by who eventually comes in but, let's have a few weeks without the negativity when not a single​ player has come or gone

    Yes, because the season has finished so early, the moans about our crap squad for 2017/18 have started extra early as well!

    George Williams, been on loan at MK Dons from Fulham. Some sites call him a midfielder, others a forward.

    Not to be confused with the other George Williams at MK Dons, who is a defender.

    Started at MK with Robinson there so might make sense.

    Has never scored a career goal.
