Re: Wickham incoming

If he wants him why is it taking so long.

Re: Wickham incoming

Contract negotiations.
Won't be easy if Wickham's pushing for a good deal. Given his injury record, we'd be daft to chance anything more than about 5k per week for the rest of the season.
Maybe add goal bonuses to bump it up if he does manage to do the seemingly impossible, and score!

He'll be on a goal bonus, that's a given for any striker.

I think that we have enough bang average "strikers". What we need is someone, anyone, who can play in midfield and can tick at least one of the boxes below:

pass a ball to a teammate
not lose the ball to the opposition
cross a ball
take a free kick
take a corner
make a run into the box

There are probably more boxes that could be added.

That's a lot of boxes... I get your point though :thumbup:

I think Kav’s retired but he’s probably still better than anything we currently have.

He’ll starve.

Re: Wickham incoming

Pretty pointless signing for me. Maybe five years ago but now it reeks of desperation.

It is desperation though.

Do we create many chances ?

I think our goal record suggests we don't

I don't think there are many games where we have stuck everything over the bar ?

A couple of quality midfielders who can do what you suggest and provide our front men with opportunities is exactly what we needed

It's too late now though it would seem

Robinson can be that play maker for me. I’d have him playing behind Davies and Kaba. How Isaac Davies doesn’t get into this team baffles me.

Robinson as a midfield playmaker ?

He carries the ball well
