January Transfers and Rumours

[Warren]

Strikers are highly paid and a big risk. I thought we had a good set of attacking players until Uche and Garrirty got injured. Still have Dipepa, Loft, Chislett and Wilkinson. I think Chislett is trying to do too much, Wilkinson is not getting the service, Loft is a powerful box presence but our useless wingback system gives no service. Depepa needs his chance now signed on. Basically we have replaced the manager because he couldn't cut the mustard.

Who's Wilkinson? Have I missed a signing?!

Paul Wilkinson. He’s only 59!

. It could take a whole window from start to finish, just to bring a player into a club. This makes me ask the question as our season was falling apart, why was AC allowed to continue as our manager after the beginning of December.? The manager must have some say in who he would like to come into the club, it can’t just be the decision of the DoF.

Agree. As chuffed as I am about Darren Moore’s appointment I still would like to hear from our DOF to explain the why’s and what’s over the past 3 weeks with a failed transfer window, backing Crosby only to sacked him 1 game later after the window closed.

We had an awful set of attacking players with Garrity and Uche fit.

Only Garrity and Chislett offer goal threats. The rest are very airy fairy.

Sorry, Wilson. I was in the chemist collecting my prescription!

Well put it this way. DM needs to get more output from what we have.

Absolutely. Going to be one heck of a baptism of fire for him with our lack of firepower.

Wish we had Jack Wilkinson now, 39 goals in 80 games, including 21 in 34 in our last season as Champions 1959

Need to sort the stupid formation out. If we are going to keep playing it, learn from Bayer Leverkusan.

It's pretty clear the manager did have some say and the priority was a centreforward.  The problem was we failed to get the deal over the line in the final hours of the window. If we'd signed a decent centreforward I think it would have been a good window.  Sadly it seem we failed in the final hour.

So are you saying we only had one iron in the fire, so no plan B then.

DM usually plays 3 5 2 so I expect that was part of the reason as to why he was recruited

The two is interesting though - not sure how we play 2 up front currently
