I’m meaning more he’s one to develop value terms. He absolutely starts, probably the wrong choice of words. Big fan, actually think he’s better overall than Ronnie Edwards.
Succession planning, definitely. Whether he starts ahead of Jones and and Macca remains to be seen. Assume if he signs then Smith goes on another loan?
I just had a quick look at Wigan, Stephen Humphreys still doesn't have a club after being released which is a bit odd as he's had two decent seasons in the SPL and League One. I'd have him here for a year.
Hughes actually played left centre back all season and captained wigan. you’d think so he’s the one they need to push, Ashbee has much more time on his side
Dunno why, but I always wanted to see smith and Jones line up at centre half. But that's probably.my 90s TV upbringing.
He would probably go ahead of either of them, it'll depend on which of Jones and Macca have impressed TW more. Smith I suspect will hang around the first team, it'll be Ashbee that'll go out on loan. We also have to sort out Alfie Taylor after he lost a year of his career in Ireland.
I read a bit of the Wigan board expecting the usual..5m, I'll drive him there myself but there's none of that, more hopeful of a sell on clause.
No, not really. And yes, that's true. But that doesn't make it anywhere near ideal. I know it's been done to near death, and I'd say BB is a lovely set up for the academy, .....but .... Fleetwoods set up makes us look non league.
Ashbee at 17 doesn’t need to, Smith looked like he was the one that was 17 last night. He needs to be playing every week. Grimsby I’m sure would be ecstatic to have him back. Would rather him go down a level and play every week again then sit in reserve all season
Sounds a done deal. So that's 19 out v's 1 in Wow!!! Shows how desperate some are when our own player Oscar and last season's player Giles are being included on page 1 as 'Incomings'!!!! In reality, it's still just 1. Shall we include Simons, TLT, Vaughan and call it 6? https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/hull-city-winger-latest-leave-9432226
Hughes is the type of signing I think we should be aiming for. Young, English and bags of potential. With FFP constraints developing talent and selling on is the best way to advance in this league. Brentford probably did it best signing and selling Watkins, Benraham, Konsa, Maupay, Mepham all for big money before promotion
