I like that we even had the ambition to try for a player like that, our approach won’t always come of but shy bairns get nout and all that
On Chopra and gambling etc, was there a telephone recording of him giving someone abuse, or was it the other way round?
Yeah. It's what I said on Thursday. The contract situation is the interesting variable. Still think it happens. Normally when both sides want it , it happens.
Think the club are a bit concerned about his injury record so may want to give him a shorter deal but with clauses in to trigger extensions? Maybe it gets extended if he plays x amount of games and so on?
Lad on Twitter who mentioned a left footed cab from the prem has said that we’re in talks with 2 strikers and want to bring both in…
no smoke without fire so I reckon we want Broadhead permanently and Parrot in on loan. And I reckon both happen. Both are good options because both can play with Stewart, or both could play together. And it very much mitigates the risk of Broadhead's injury proneness, which is really only a problem if he's part of just a 2 striker squad
Absolutely this. Now that he's signed a professional deal with Birmingham, he's out of our reach financially and he'll only be moving to upper tier European clubs (should he come anywhere near to fulfilling his potential). We probably had a 1% chance of ever signing him but we took a shot at a move which would have made headlines.
Spot on. It looks like we're interested in both of these and they'd provide the perfect squad balance. Parrot has played off the left and as a 2nd striker. We know what Broadhead can do and his injury issues are eased by us having another option. We're almost sorted if we get these 2 in my opinion. A keeper is the only other essential.
I’d personally like an alternative to Evans as I’m not sure we’ve anyone else on our squad that can effectively play the role he does and he won’t be able to play every games. Otherwise I agree.
Would be over the moon with Broadhead permanently. The lad is a very serious talent. He was a 1 in 2 striker last year for us, and he can score all kinds of goals. He has ridiculously good feet and can make defenders look silly. Certainly one that can make a major impact in the championship for me. Less convinced by Parrot but if he comes hope I am proved wrong. When I watched him for MK I wasnt entirely convinced by him. I know he has a good reputation. He linked well with Twine at times, but then he seemed less of a goal threat than I thoughy he would be. Good luck to the lad if he comes in, and sounds like he will, but personally I would have gone for a different type of forward, someone who thrives on crosses into the box. Not sure I have seen that from him.
09 niel evans Matete Winchester I don’t think he will add anyone else even though we could do with another
I tend to agree with this. Winchester is maybe the closest but I dont think he has the same discipline. Maybe Matete can be coached into it, but on what we have seen so far he needs more licence to get up and down. ONien will never let you down but would be a worry if needed to play an extended number of games in that position where discipline and concentration is everything. Harsh on Evans but I would be looking to upgrade now. Someone like Ryan Woods would be ideal in my opinion.
