Good / bad? Thoughts? It's been relatively quiet I think. Although I think Murphy and Reid will feel like new signings. Desperate for a striker, If we have to settle for Madine for the season we will be naffed.
We're missing one or two signings. Less worried about how much we spend than how the signings fit. The squad seems slightly unballanced at the moment. Too many keepers, too many defensive / holding midfielders not enough creative or finishing quality. I'd be ok if the net spend was negative provided we have a balanced squad. A bit more business needed both ways methinks.
This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Whilst I quite like our defensive options, we are lacking both in creativity and fire power. Looks like a typical Colin squad at the moment - all grunt and no finesse. Relying on snuffing out the opposition rather than winning the game off the front foot. Nothing wrong with the players brought in so far, in fact I think they've been very good acquisitions, but we need some class in the middle and someone who can finish rather than just impress with effort - no more Niasse's thank you.
Wickham - injury prone or just not played much. Only 42 games in 4 seasons. If my memory is correct he's a sick note.
Any sources for Wickham link? He's a very good player, can score goals for fun.. But as BFB says, sick note!
No sources per se, just the talk of twitter. I imagine Warnock worked with him before at Palace (2014?) and he’s a bit of a lump so it may be a case of people putting 2+2 together.
And only 10 goals. Hardly prolific. In saying all of that I have liked the look of him when I have seen him. All be it rarely. He puts himself about, gets stuck in and pressurises defenders.
