What will be the final reading?

Its a house chain window for Cafc yet again and Players not wanting to be forced to move to a house in the Country in somewhere like rural Lincolnshire if they want to stay in the home counties.
The days of Mark Stuart being sold to Plymouth the month after he moved into a new house nearer to Sparrows lane have gone. Better for the players but not always for Some fans who see players as commodities who are either great or shit. No nuance just cardboard characters who are there to be binned when they don't perform for a match or 3.
Sam Smith looks interesting but I don't want to make a song and dance in mentioning the Cambridge forward.

Speaks for itself.Chunes said:So that's Lincoln, Shrewsbury, Leyton Orient, Burton Albion and Stevenage that Cawley has said have come in for Gilbey.
Can't believe this bloke basically started basically every game (when fit) for us for two years. No wonder we never had a midfield.
I still remember saying in the the last January transfer window, just after Gilbey had found a bit of form when JJ first came in and had scored a very good goal against Ipswich, whether a Championship side might come in with a late bid and try and nick him with a cheeky bid!0 -

I know you weren’t mate, just while we are on the subject is all.BR7_addick said:
I’m not advocating for or against the model.Braziliance said:
Forget the model, in our league one seasons our best attackers have all been older players who we have caught in their prime, Yann, Taylor & Holmes the standouts. This sell on policy isn’t exactly going so well so far for him. Build a strong team and then worry about finding gems is how I see it.BR7_addick said:Like many have said, I don’t think Stockton or May fit model we go for, young (ish), stock on the rise, potential sell on etc.
Sam Smith however, does. From TS’s POV.
As for the point you make it’s a decent one, although I’d say that you will have to be extremely lucky or pay a lot to obtain one of those you mention.I genuinely couldn’t care less about a players age when we sign them if it’s in a crucial position. I would always rather a 34 year old we could have for 2-3 seasons who could help us get promoted than a 20 year old who we are only gonna keep for a max of one season anyway.More than happy with players like Albie, Leaburn, Henry, Clayden playing their part and if an offer comes in, we sell them for a healthy fee like Konsa, Lookman, Burstow etc but most times when we are buying these players with ‘upsides’ they’re getting worse or their value is dropping, for example DJ and Kirk.I want us to use our youth system to bring players through and sign the late 20s/early 30s players who are in form so there is no fear in us losing them.I understand that may not be sustainable forever but neither is gambling our youths/valuable players will actually go for good money2 -
also Ipswich, Bolton, Sheffield Wednesday, Preston (potentially) as far as I am aware.FishCostaFortune said:

Is he left footed? Transfermkt says he is right footed although I have known it to be wrong before.Scoham said:
I agree, I want someone who’s firstly a striker rather than a winger who can play up front.killerandflash said:
However given we want one with pace it’s likely have some ability to play wide too. It makes more sense than a pure poacher or another target man.
Another interesting thing about Sam Smith is he’s left footed. He could give both Stockley and JRS competition. Our left winger in Kirk or CBT is then more of a creator, with the main goal threats coming from the striker and right winger.0 - Sponsored links:

Yeah he is, takes a penalty with his left foot in his goals video.Richard J said:

Are there any good swapping opportunities with the clubs listed as being interested in our fringe players?
I like Cameron Borthwick Johnson a left sided defender at Burton for example. Could we make a good trade?1 -
Always been surprise he has been at Burton/league 1 so long, has decent pedigree coming from ManU, was on their books for a while.Richard J said:Are there any good swapping opportunities with the clubs listed as being interested in our fringe players?

certainly wouldn’t complain if we signed him, it’s a shout
Borthwick-Jackson btw mate1 -
Defender is done, probably announced tomorrow.
Forward is close but as others have said depends on outgoings.
Both good players at this level and improve our squad for sure.92 -
Defender a loan, forward a perm.64

My only concern with the forward is that other clubs at this level are also interested and we are reliant on shifting a player or two to make it happen.3

is the forward established, over the hill or a youth ?Covered_End_Lad said:Defender a loan, forward a perm.0 -

Is there some sort of fair play thing that means we need to move a player on to bring one in, or is it down to TS wanting to balance the books? If it’s the latter I should imagine he’ll do a deal regardless as its clear from the recent statement that he’s fully aware we need a striker1

One of the worse words ever used on CL:
I'm still proud of being along with Muttley and Lancs lad one of the few who saw the Charlatan Matthew Southall for what he is was when others were still blowing smoke up his arse.
I'm a realist and I know under the present set up the Premier League has long since gone and just to get back to the Championship will be difficult, and to stay there for more than one season after we lose the best of our young talent, (remember Joe Aribo) will be tough.
I feel we were whistle blowers from the outside and breaking news for the naive middle age fans. The emails that have been coming from West Africa for 30 years are frauds; I only got involved with the Nigerian guy as I had a link with the Country in my childhood !
Thomas Sandgaard is his own man and has learnt a lot in the last 14 months but like all adopted American businessmen he won't ran Cafc like a charity or a philanthropist.
We have to take some statements with a pinch of salt but being optimistic is his trait and he has wound it in a tad since the Europe talk after 5 years !
Can only 🤞until the window shuts as we are caught up in the mediocre quagmire of League 1.0 -
