    So is park aves ain't he ? They are bound by the same rules we are we will generate more money than Wycombe and probably the same as Town without player sales. Neither of them will be spending like Birmingham and Wrexham did. Luton might but our entire summer depends on whether the powers that be want to try for a good season or go back to their cowardly don't go down don't go bust motto

    I saw him against us.
    Had a good 25 mins then got bossed.
    Pointon was miles better than him in that match and the stats back it up.
    Patto also.
    In League 1 at Orient who made the play offs, in 20 matches he was on the bench 9 times.
    Only 4 of those games he came on.
    When he started he only completed 90 mins twice!!
    He might have looked good in Lg2 to you but maybe that's his standard??

    Our wages budget will be nowhere near those two for a start, both have very wealthy owners who are not afraid to splash the cash.

    We have no chance of enticing Paudie back for instance.

    We need a mix of players,yes we need a bit of brawn but a skilful tricky player who can dribble and take on players can be very useful in the mix

    That’s where the loan market is going to be vital along with the power of persuasion to get clubs to loan us good players. They are excellent levellers

    No chance? While I don't think he would come back I believe our strategy this season will be free agents and higher weekly wages. But again we really could, especially if Rupp is going to back us "again" I can see us matching most clubs out there for wages The thing holding us back will be that negative mentality from those in charge and some fans just settling to be above that dotted line

    Not interested in stats, generally meaningless other than mins . Comparing him in L1 when he was It may be his level who knows , I’ll leave it to the pros, but let’s not think BP is gods gift to football because he isn’t. BP drifts in and out of games just like other players that can occasionally make a difference. If we want to play the silly stats game , DM has appeared in the CC 24 times, and L1 16 , compared to Bobby who has appeared in neither. Pointless isn’t it ?

    I'm not sure there's any information we're pricy to that'll accurately tell us a players height/weight.

    Saw an article suggesting Scott Banks.

    Not really getting game time in Germany?

    Be a good signing imo.

    I think he’s passed us by . I know he had the ACL ( Cookie alert ) however since “ recovery” he played 12 times last season and scored zero goals . It’s a no from me.

    Every summer there’s always a clamouring for ex players, hardly ever works second time round Wright n Pereira for a start, hopefully GA and Sharp are looking forwards not backwards

    It would be extremely risky imo. I would hope we've learnt a lesson with Johnson last season in that however good a player is when fit, they aren't any use to us if they spend more time on the treatment table than the pitch.

    A waste of a wage is possible . 12 appearances in total last season says the Germans no longer rate him , so we need to eliminate those from the squad . The injury can be devastating for some and look at his age compared to Cookie . I really fear his long term outcome too .

    he was rated his first season (pre-injury) but that was Bundesliga 2, they were promoted and struggled last year, hence the low apps. Proper club mind.

    12 appearances in a division 2 levels higher than us and you wouldn’t take him ?

    You can read back my posts on Pointon.
    You'll see I wasn't one of those thinking we'd found a Bradford Maradona.
    Just my opinion on both players as we only got to see them in the flesh on the same pitch once last season.
