Summer 2022 - Transfer Talk

Mark Bowen Head of Football at Reading now…One for loans as well.

 

'Perfect striker' and George Miller in the same post. Chortle.

 

Il be honest I never saw much of Miller So I can’t comment from personal experience of watching him player

However, Based on the facts. His loan with us was over 3 years ago? In a league higher no less? so in other words, he’s not the same headless chicken many on here had the distinct pleasure of watching

One thing that has been glaringly obvious in City teams over the past 5 or so years is a lack of attackers with pace

Or attackers that can press high up without getting injured 5 mins into it

Now some are to the opinion that as Bradford City, we should only be signing players that are competing for positions with clubs at the top end of League 1

The reality is, We are A League Two Team that has regressed for the better part of 5 years. And as much as I would love for the club to sign players a calibre above, its not gonna happen across the team

What I also believe is that we need goals from all over the squad. And should Miller sign, I believe he will be one of many options up front, along with most likely another attacking signing this month

Even if Miller was to sign, start from the bench most games an score less than his 12 goals for Walsall last season, so lets just say 8-10. Id take that. Those goals could give us an additional 10-15 points which would make a huge push in our attempt for promotion

If he were to sign, it wouldn’t be an amazing signing by any means, But it would be a good signing for this division

 

I remember that goal he scored at Rochdale, when we walloped them 4-0 in the relegation season. One hell of a strike.

 

Didn't our knowledgeable fans dislike Jordi Hiwula despite him having pace and a decent scoring record (12 in 49).

 

He was too good for us at times. Made so many runs that were ignored.

 

But Adams didn't know how to play them in the first instance, then with his team, mismanaged their injuries.

Absolutely agree Fordy. You sign up good loan players whenever they're available. Because if you don't, another club will. Adams nonsense was like cutting off your nose to spite your face. An utterly stupid approach to modern day realities.

 

This is all total fly-a-kite press speculation. There is no evidence whatever that MH is looking at him to sign.

 

Three of the four were out injured most of his time at the club, that's not an endorsement for Adams but true.

 

A few less knowledgeable fans throwing rash critism around at a half decent player at our level doesn't account to all the fans, I always thought he was a steady player with bit of pace and skill, yes he was wasteful at times but many miss the point of If he wasn't he wouldn't have been with us, and to boot he terrorised us a few times after leaving for Fleetwood.

 

Hope you're right, yes he may have improved etc. But I'd rather just put the effort and finances into finding us a high end quality main guy for up front, and use a capable attacking wide player as a 4th choice striker should we need.

 

Agreed McCall took some stick a number of times when he dropped him after scoring, don’t remember Hiwula getting much stick tbh other than as you say could be wasteful. Then he was replaced by Poleon…

You need to keep it short . I agree in some respects but fell asleep.
