I know people won't like it, but I think the majority of our business will be done the back end of the window. I'll be more then happy to be wrong though
Would you not have taken Balogun after his poor spell at Boro? He’s a top prospect, playing for 2 bang average championship sides isn’t going to change that.
If we had money, we wouldn't have. Delap was one of the most in-demand loanees last season at our level and this year the hype's gone. I think he's a nice addition that offers us something different but let's not pretend, if we had a few million to chuck around, we'd sign someone a little less raw I would because I'm pretty realistic about who we can sign and he would have offered something different. I'd take a Sonny Bradley happily, and any left-back who's a little better than Elder.
I'm getting that feeling too but it's not surprising as transfer fees drop and agents become a little more realistic
The hype hasn’t gone. He was still very in demand. He’s 20 years old ffs, if he shows the same this season the hype will go but that was his first senior season. He could’ve easily dropped a level and pissed it but he didn’t and I think we’ll reap the benefits of it
But, but if they don't do a full pre season they won't be fit and up to speed till at least Christmas.
The hype has gone compared to last year. He had half the championship after him. I'm not saying he's a bad signing and I'm sure his experiences last season will benefit him. I've always liked Jebbison when I've seen him and he's one we could have got him permanently last year for a semi-reasonable fee
He also had alot of teams after him this season including from abroad, maybe they miss what you see or know.
Instead of debating who’s going to be **** & who’s going to be the greatest player, can we all just wait & see how they do when it comes to the football season kicking off for real.
For what it is worth, If my memory serves me correctly Delap was ahead of Jebbison in the England younger team setup, though he is a year older. Both are good players IMO, so either would be okay.
If you read my posts properly, I said Cashin would be an ideal replacement if and only if we sold Greaves for a decent amount. If we’re not selling Greaves, there’s no reason to buy him.
