Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[CT Villan]

They'd have to be a starter too or it just doesn't make any sense to send Cam out on loan.

Who's available, though? I can't recall us being linked to a top-level striker, unsettled or otherwise.

I agree.  Unless whoever the signing is
a) Is better than both Watkins and Ings and
b) We're struggling to get rid of one (or both) of the above

Then I don't see the point in sending Archer out on loan.  With the 9 subs rule he'd comfortably get 20+ games this season (maybe half a dozen starts, the rest as a sub).  I'm not sure what it proves if he goes and has a stellar season in the Championship.  We already know he's far too good for that division.

At some point Gerrard and Lange must have reached a consensus that Archer was worthy of staying around. Now, with no appearances in the League, he's fit for being sent out. Another red flag.

Agree and don’t like saying it. But does feel like they don’t know their ass from their elbow right now.

They haven't exactly made the task of recruitment any easier after being battered by Palace and Fkin Bournemouth.

I am sure players are lining up to sign.

We didn't exactly finish the season in stellar form but still managed to bring Carlos and Kamara in.

And I am sure they bought into the pre- season optimism we all shared until we started playing football.

I don't think we're having trouble attracting players to the club because of our start. I think if we're having trouble it's because they reasonably want to know where they fit in.

Maybe they’re midfielders who don’t want to play as auxiliary full-backs.

It's probably the reason we didn't get Casemiro.

[SamTheMouse]

I don't think the players believe in the system they're playing.

I agree. There's a flakiness and lack of conviction to our play, especially without the ball.

[eamonn]

Understandable. I always struggle with the AUX input/output thing at the back of the speakers. Think it did for Sexual Ealing's DJing skills at his own wedding too.

I don't think the players believe in the system they're playing.

I wonder if that's why Mings lost the captaincy. I imagine he'd not be shy about having a chat with the manager; McGinn will show enthusiasm for anything he's asked to do and will go and do it.

The only problem being, he usually does it badly.

Which is why it's a bizarre choice. Though it has to be said, everyone else seems to admire him.

He seems a great side kick. Full of enthusiasm, a funny face, a funny accent and dodgy hair cut. He'll be great to have around, just can't play football very good.

The red flags are piling up. Feels very much like a club peddling backwards and in panic mode. Very worrying - hopefully they have a plan - but the public image right now is a mess
