Yes , this is the ideal type of loanee to go for , although we now have 10 strikers on our books which frankly is shocking mgt of finances. Unless we can now offload some of them , starting with the boy from hibs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villageman Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 I could also say we are being very forward looking but if Grizzly is reading this he might be worried about redundancy. It is way beyond ridiculous. The new manager going to have to use pen and paper to remember all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mccus28 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 All these signings seem like insanity, thats about a 33 man squad now and about 31 of them seem to be forwards 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mio Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 These two strikers seem highly rated? As much as that is good, It just seems manic, have they looked at the bloke from Carlisle and thought he’s rotten, we need someone else? like everyone else has mentioned, we badly need a midfielder. We can’t survive with Halliday and Davor every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsince75 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Honestly 11 strikers now , 6 of them on loan . it just smacks of not having a clue what we’re doing . what a complete and utter waste of finances . very tough job for a new manager to come in and sort this out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewelllfan Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Dickson is meant to be a very decent player from what I've heard of him. Can't say I know much about Plange so can only hope he comes good. Personally think we should probably have only got 1 and brought in a holding midfielder but we can only hope that all the new guys come good and we can scrape enough points in our last 9 games to get into the top 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 We now have a 33 man first team squad, not including those we’ve sent out on loan. 10 of these players are loans. Strangely, we now have 11 forwards, with 6 of these being loanees. These are bonkers numbers. But what about the midfield?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Can definitely see a number going out. As per my post at the start of the week, we generally make signings on a one in one out basis, with most of this year's outs being injuries, of which we have 9, and 10 if the Vale rumor is true (and add the likes of Slattery and Nicholson on limited minutes due to injuries). Callachan, Watt, Tavares, Vale, Moses seem like candidates to go. Miller potentially for other reasons. Can't see mair hanging around with his broken hand either.

As per my post at the start of the week, we generally make signings on a one in one out basis, with most of this year's outs being injuries, of which we have 9 (10 if the Vale rumor is true), and add the likes of Slattery, Paton and Nicholson on limited minutes due to injuries. Callachan, Watt, Tavares, Vale, Moses seem like candidates to go. Miller potentially for other reasons. So, out of the 33 we have, 10 aren't available, some for a considerable time. With 9 on the bench you need 20 for a matchday squad, so we're sitting at a surplus of 3 available players. Two of whom are Moses and Koutroumbis. If we want the much mooted squad of 23, then tomorrow we'd have 2 subs and making the rest up with kids. On the strikers, we signed Stuparevic, Robinson and Stama. Two of those are injured and one isn't up to scratch and was sent out on loan (whether that changes next season, who knows). Watt is clearly done, and Moses is a chaos sub at best. Tavares is injured and Vale is suspended and maybe injured too. Before we signed armstrong we had Watt, Moses and JT available. Not giving us any options on the bench. Of the three that have come in, 2 have replaced Stama and Robinson. The third suggests someone is off. Signing Stuparevic, Koutroumbis, Callachan and Tavares all seem like legit mistakes, the first two are just how it goes, the other two are plain dumb.

If we sign any more forwards by Monday (unless 2 go out), I'd say logic is out of the window, but you can't always sign the players you need in the perfect order. Hopefully a midfielder that isn't a child is one of the remaining signings. Why we don't have any young players that can step up, or why we aren't using them, is it's own discussion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
