Paul cook has said that they’re not young kids they are grown men and they should be ready to step up and fight for their places here or elsewhere. Although true, is he just preparing us for the inevitable no substantial spend? Perhaps we really are gonna just bulk it out with kids and loans? As more and more players find clubs which would have been easily signable, does anybody have a fear that these new owners could well and truly drain us dry and shaft the fans? I could be way off, Marshall’s a great free but ultimately their lack of connection to the fans is highly concerning to me I’m gobsmacked at how quiet they are. I know they’ve got loads of business ventures but I’m concerned we could be rock bottom of the pile.
We seem to be way off in attracting players, yes it’s hard and yes it’s a crowded market but it won’t cut it if we go down with a whimper. I actually feel really sorry for Paul cook and the playing staff, what the hell is he expected to do with this current squad. He is frighteningly low on senior pros who are of the level of this ridiculously demanding league. I do believe he’s good enough he prove so many wrong last year but you tell me a manager who could keep us up in our current state.
Now I know we will have signings but when your being linked with Leon Clarke it tells a thousand truths and they are that they have repeatedly missed out on better options. Clarke is not going to be able to score the goals necessary to keep us in the championship. He could be at best our third striker but even then I feel we need garner and two other quality lads in that position with the loss of Powell. Garner is going to have to have a goal scoring epiphany at this rate. I know we have young lads coming in but it’s seriously not enough goals.
Kdz is right we do need a holding midfielder and we could also do with a further cm on top of that up can pick a pass.
In terms of attacking midfielders or wingers we need someone who is explosive. We have lost that ability to go at sides and we are seriously looking slow with josh windass looking a considerable whippet in pre season.
In terms of Alan Hutton does anyone know what’s going on there? Last I heard forest hijacked it but with their other serious signings this week I wonder whether he is now back available or whether no club is prepared to hit his wage demands. It’s all going so badly it’s untrue to be honest.
Does anyone share my concerns or am I over egging the pud?
Where’s the money for grigg gone? The Powell wages should easily free up some money and we have lost 14 players including selling Walker for something. Plus don’t they want to invest some sort of budget ? We are fast running out of time.
Cheers
