What are you expecting out of interest? Also how much do you know of the signings we have made so far?

As much as some seem set on writing off new signings before they’ve stepped on the training pitch, I’m interested to understand how much they know about them to make these calls?

 

If we stopped signing players now the squad would be lacking any real quality or what you would deem quality. You don’t need to view players over a full season to make those Calls. That’s why for me it’s uninspiring so far.

We’ve had a long time to know we would need a certain amount of players, I hope we have a few more lined up.

A lot of relegated sides usually take the pick if the best players form other clubs who were maybe up there last season to strengthen and then challenge. Sunderland took Wyke off of us. Ipswich have signed Norwood. For example.

We look to be filling squad gaps so we have more balance compared to last season.

 

Agree

John McGinley.

 

ie we’ve signed shite for many years. Last year wasn’t unique and I identified Payne as he was the biggest spend of the underachievers. Agree he performed well until Christmas. But was pants afterwards. Although for consistency several others were much worse all season. NKP. chicksen. Wright. Akpan. Doyle. O donnell.

 

Of course I don’t doubt they could become a good team. The manager is key at this level. Parky signed a lot of journeymen but he set them up well and we were very tough to beat and we had a lot of success.

We can only go on our judgement as fans and that is what this forum is for. Got to remember last year we signed name after name and we were a crap side.

I do think we will do well under Bowyer but you cannot blame people for claiming it’s a lack of quality so far. With what we have left from last season, let’s hope we do a MK Dons, using last years shite to get promoted.

 

A signing that doesn’t fill me with a great deal of confidence, but who knows....? Let’s see what happens. He’s got a year so it’s up to him to perform if he wants more.

 

Why not?

 

Oh just great, that’s all we need yet another prima dona! Well Bowyer must have seen something in him, as there will be very little TV exposure in this division.

 

Depends which fans you speak to, but he seems to be a decent addition at this level.

1 year deal, so he has everything to play for.

 

As an attacking midfielder, scoring record.....

 

You know, the height was the first thing i looked up about him, very Scannellesque.
Early in his career was loaned out alot.Very telling.

 

We need to offload the bigger earners pretty sharpish.

The signings so far reek of midtable medicority at best.

 

The other half is pleased, he said a good skilful player who ripped us apart a couple of seasons ago! Obviously, we will have to wait and see, no room for players who hide, plus he needs to prove himself.

Midget

 

Club say one year deal yet according to his ifollow interview its two years. I'm guessing one year with an option?

 

I know he had a lot of hype around him at Wolves, no idea what happened to him since?

 

Why are we signing players that fellow relegated teams released? He is ok at best, can dribble but cant cross and judging by what Walsall fans are saying he is very very lazy. We are building a very healthy mid table side.

 

He got relegated with Bury and was then released. He then got relegated with Walsall and got released.

 

He could be on for a hat trick, coming here....
