I notice Hemir, Bennette and Matete didn’t play for the under 21s last night despite the club saying they’d be with them from now on. Perhaps all three are now even excluded from that until they get new clubs
Bass has gone, Bishop and Young are already confirmed as loaned out. This lad is here to allow another loan or two out if possible.
Initial thoughts about Ugbo was someone playing the link to get things moving on our side with speeding up caen to do a deal for Mandy or for Troyes to accept a bid from Sheffield Wednesday, so didn’t give it much thought but seeing Michael Walker say the interest is genuine from our side is interesting. Thought we’d see a solid link today, turns out I was wrong because that’s three now?
Slight feeling Jewi is very close. Didn’t even get his name posted with the first team squad on the website
I’m not that enthused about Ugbo. Not sure he brings us what we need, which is the off the ball stuff that strikers do. He’d definitely be an asset as a poacher in the box, but how many chances do our strikers actually miss? the problem is we don’t create chances for strikers, partly because we don’t have strikers making the right runs or holding the ball up properly. I don’t think Ugbo is that guy.
From what I've seen posted on here, I think I'd prefer Mendy to Ugbo. I know the sell on with Ugbo is possible, but the way Mendy plays I think would suit us better in the short term. From what I've seen he plays with his back to goal, and on receiving the ball is quick to get it to the wingers, and then get in the box and hope for a return pass.. Ugbo just seems a poacher and dosen't offer as much
