Good luck in finding a 20 goal a season scorer in any of the divisions that we trade in, read somewhere that there was only 7 players across the 3 FL divisions to score 20+ goals this season. We basically need 2 strikers to score 10 - 15 goals a season and then the midfield to chip in with 5 - 10 goals each, that would give us a decent balance.
We really can't expect decent signings in the summer & we've just got put up with what signings come in, a lot won't like it but that's life.
What we have to accept is the fact we are now definitely a bargain basement shopper, we have Sparkless and "Arry to thank for f******g up our trip upmarket by buying overpriced dross that nobody else wanted,knackering our credit rating in the process thus now leaving us only able to afford Lidl and Aldi quality rather than Sainsbury's or Morrisons and with no chance of anything from Harrods ever again, But as we know sometimes even Happy Shopper turns up a decent bargain so let's wait and see who we get before passing judgement and blaming Ollie.

Good move for him. Hope he proves himself. Maybe we can loan Gladwin there for the next few years too.
Possibly, I think League One might be his level. He looks to me like a Hoddle-Lite type of player. He looks comfortable on the ball and can stroke it around a bit, but is a bit slow in his decision making. A bit more urgency and sharpness and I think there's a player in him. Perhaps he needs a decent coach to get it out of him and when you've got someone with Bircham's calibre trying to coach anyone ... it's not going to happen.
Agreed good move for him....he hasn't got a fast enough brain for the Championship... He also had no invention in him. He was not good enough to play DCM either.. We need players better than him....and he is definitely below Ryan, Luongo, and probably Cousins in our pecking order....and dare I also say Perch ( runs for cover)...who adds more defensively than Doughty could
http://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-everton-bid-500k-to-beat-arsenal-to-qpr-teenager Josh Bowler being fought over I know we are a selling club now...but not that sort of selling club please. We develop our own players ....and then sell them... And what good would it do him...
I believe we've rejected the bid Beth according to Dave Mac. Shame it needs other teams to bid for our youngsters to make us realise they might actually be half decent! Not seen much of Bowler, if at all, but let's give him a run in pre season and see what he can do.
Sam Allardyce has quit Palace. Probably done it while his stock is fairly high and hoping to get a bigger job. I'd take him over Holloway but doubt that he'd come here.
