Most liked posts in thread: What do we need?

If Ball is out of favour at RUFC, what are our chances on making his move permanent? Take over his contract and then it frees up a new loan while permanently recruiting a top L1 player for us next season. Maybe wishful thinking but I really rate Ball.

 

We need back to back league wins.

We need to win our next 2 home matches.

If we don't then the January transfer market won't matter.

 

So we have to be realistic and not say a whole new 11, but instead you say 6 plus three if we dont keep certain players on. So saying 9 in total, almost a new 11.

May as well go the whole hog and just say 11, could do with all you said plus another striker with some movement to replace Doyle and a back up keeper as I would be worried if O'Donnell picks up and injury and Wilson has to start

 

A defensive coach to help Hopkin.

 

The key for me, is making sure we don’t compromise next season. We can’t be short termist. We have to ensure that if we go down, we have a strong budget and the basis of a strong side that can hit the ground running. So any Jan signings need to be funded and willing to play in league 2 next season. Any ‘big money’ punts to bail us out this season can’t be at the expense of next seasons budget. I sense Rupp will prop us up for 18 months or so out of ‘good will’ as he clearly realises he’s accountable for the Rahic debacle. But he won’t do it indefinitely.

 

We neeed quality over quantity so I’d spend more on less. 4 through the door for me..

Left back
Cantre half
Left winger
Striker

Plus a holding midfielder possibly

 

You can only shift out contracted players if somebody wants them.The way some of ours have been performing,that may be difficult.

 

This is a bit of good news - an indication that Wagner is happy to let Payne and O'Brien stay at City for rest of the season.

For me we need a CB, LB, Winger and Target Man. No more than that.

Caddis should stay (can’t rememebr when he’s contracted to).

Henry looks 2 yards off the pace and not sure he’s improved us, so not sure if he’ll stay. He probably will stay if Wright goes as that will leave us short in the middle.

 

After saturday ---- Heated fecking seats .

 

We need a left back and centre back. 2 centre backs if possible, but 1 as a minimum.

Let Henry and Wright go. And Reeves obviously. Send Seedorf back. Look to keep LOB and add another CM. Someone can help us keep the ball and protect the defensive. A Josh Cullen type.
A left winger.
Two Strikers.
Keep Ball. Keeping Payne will be a challenge.

If we manage to get all that, then I’d look to move on Chicksen, Brunker and at least one of McGowan or NKP. Devine may as well go too.

 

I think LOB and Akpan COULD be the basis of a good central midfield. Flanked by two quality players out wide, a couple of extra defenders who can defend and a forward who can retain the ball, we’d improve markedly.

But really, when you read through the comments we need some pretty major surgery. I fear we’ve got too much to repair in just one window.

 

As a bare minimum, and if we keep the majority of others, we need a centre back, a left back and a centre forward who can hopefully get Eoin Doyle going.

Next on the list would be a winger (either side) and then if there's any money left another centre half would be welcome.

 

If we're talking players.

We need 2 centre backs for sure!

A forward

A left back

A winger(depending on what on earth is happening with Robbo)

 

If we can get him fit and keep him fit, Scannel is a very good winger for this division. Maybe our new No2 can work wonders

 

We need to do everything possible to hang to division one status if that means temporary fixes so be it.
It is very hard getting out of league two

 

For once the game was more entertaining than a stray balloon or carrier bag...!!

 

We need a new PM
