I don't even think we can look at the modicum positives in that Martin's transfer track record isn't too bad as it'll still be conducted by Glover and Rudkin primarily. I actually think Glover should go down as one of the worst in the business, we have been diabolical since he came in and makes Lee Congerton look like Monchi. 2

The only bit of hope to cling onto, is the type of transfer window we produced under Maresca. At that particular time, it ended up being our most successful transfer window under Martyn Glover, many signings made sense and you could see a clear strategy. Since then the strategy has been very random, with Steve Cooper’s fetish of Premier League experience being added to the mix. We need another strategic window like 23/24. I thoroughly expect a few players to follow Martin from his previous clubs, Smallbone probably the best example, but like Russell Martin has produced at other clubs, a bunch of young signings mixed in with a couple of experienced signings is hopefully the route we’ll go 🤞🏻 1
JimJams Posted 14 June Posted 14 June The Cooper window crippled us. Effectively fxxked the budget for years overspending on shit players who we couldn't hope to move on. 3

Either of them stay and i'd not be keen. 1

Either of them stay and i'd not be keen. Brussel tends to prefer a 4-3-3, so if both Winks and Skipp leave, as I’ve advocated for, Archie Collins makes perfect sense for me. 6’s - Collins, Braybrooke 8’s - Smallbone, Page 8/10 - ?, could depend on how Brussel sees BDCR, Alves and maybe Briggs My biggest concern is if he goes with inverted full-backs, you expect Choudhury to play a role like that, but for Thomas, Aluko and Joseph would it suit them?

Forgot about the inverted full backs, I think Aluko would be fine but Joseph might have to play as one of the wingers which he's probably then not seen as creative and attacking enough. 1

Be interesting to know waht they have promised Martin as a transfer kitty. Can't see him coming with nothing to spend. Just hope that Martin and McCarron can become a decent double act. Need to be brave, move on as many as possible and embrace youth.
AjcW Posted 14 June Posted 14 June You’d imagine Ross Stewart post World Cup is a shoe in? We need a striker and a target, Martin signed him at saints and last time he was in league one he took the piss. Fitness issues as always with us though

kingfox Posted 14 June Posted 14 June I already have my list of ball-playing goalkeepers written down, but no doubt that will be a waste when we sign Gavin Bazunu on a 5 year deal.
JimJams Posted 14 June Posted 14 June We need Bruss to convert Skipp into a ball playing CB, he's the same height as Lisandro Martinez so I'm having none of the shortarse excuses.

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 14 June Posted 14 June If we sign Bazanu then I pray Iran strikes Seagrave 1
GrobyLCFC31 Posted 14 June Posted 14 June (edited) Wouldn’t be surprised to see Andy Fisher come in as number 1 this summer. RM had him at MK initially and he was a massive part of his system, he then took him to Swansea with Harry Darling (another he might consider depending on his game time at Norwich) AF was back up last season and only played once so you’d imagine at 28yo he’d jump at the chance for regular league one football under RM Edited 14 June by GrobyLCFC31

Two seasons in the Scottish prem, four in the championship and a few appearances in the prem… he’s a football league player and his best season was in league one. And he knows he’ll probably get a championship wage.

And yet still some fans harp on that he shouldn’t have been sacked, appalling appointment and horrendous manager whose very short spell did so much damage 1
brookfox Posted 15 June Posted 15 June No idea who, but we’re desparately short of goals throughout the whole team. I’d imagine we’ll get at least a 9 and 10 on loan from a bigger club. Most teams promoted from league one in the last 5 seasons have had at least 1 player who has got close to 20 goals.
Tiny earl Posted 15 June Posted 15 June For those advocating Smallbone, he’s a good player but rarely fit due to a succession of injuries. Southampton clearly think he’s done.
