I hope the next 1903 breaking news, is that we’ve signed a new head physio.

 

Agree. Assuming Cook stays, and with Angol able to play wide in a 3 as well as centrally, we really just need 1 quality striker to replace the combination of Elliot, Delfouneso and Robinson. That should be entirely do-able.

 

Yeah I agree with that. It was just the expectation that Angol might be 4th choice. That would be some forward line if it were true.

 

The T&A are reporting that the option is in the club's favour.

 

Or he can sit out the remainder of his contract being a bench warmer at the best. Don’t get me wrong I like the fella but that type of centre forward doesn’t sit easy in the modern high tempo game?

 

To be fair to Cook, I don't think he'd be happy doing that as he clearly wants to be playing every game, which is why I think he will be off if he can sort out a decent enough contract elsewhere.

 

From the T&A: 'It is understood that the Bantams did not take up the option to extend his original deal but appear to have offered a new one on different terms.'

Sounds to me like we've offered him lesser terms to account for his injury record

 

Lesser or heavily incentivised

 

He did well walking round the pitch without pulling his hamstring.......

 

Are you suggesting Cook, Vernam and Angol with AN other are as good as anything in this league?

Apologies, if I'm misreading your post PB

 

On the eye, we have something there. With a DM holding, yes, some encouragement but the figures in terms of assists, goals... Something is missing, we need a more explosive, expansive line similar to the thinking of @JonButterfield

 

Hopefully Abo Eisa can be one of those. He scored at one in five for Scunny, from the wing, in a very poor team.

 

Probably the player I was most looking forward to seeing last summer, hopefully his injuries were just a one off.

 

Hopefully so. Unlike Lee Angol, he doesn't have a previous history of recurrent injuries.

Certainly. What you'd hope is that Angol, Vernam and Walker will be parts of a squad full of similar standard players, rather than being head and shoulders above many of them.

 

Well I think I see where Park is coming from but certainly no out and out goalscorer doesn’t give me the same confidence .

 

Yep, that's correct, and somewhat of a concern - however he does ensure we retain the ball in attacking positions very well. Whether that leads to an assist from a full back or whatnot, I think we need a greater sample size.

Honestly, I'm 50-50, but if we signed him he'd need to be surrounded by lads who can put the ball in the net.

 

Fair comment. But he did score goals from the wing for Scunny, more than any of our attacking midfielders have.

 

Please behave yourself. Decent squad players but nowhere near the top front 3 in L2. Ludicrous to suggest so.
