Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

We surely need another striker? If Magennis were to get injured our only option would be Donaldson, given that Hall has shown himself not to be ready. Even assuming Magennis stays fit we could really do with a different striking option for the bench.

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

If we go off gossip then both Beevers and Vela are likely to leave before the deadline. If that were to happen, the club had better know what they're doing and have replacements lined up in advance. Really??? Seems highly unlikely to me. Iles said this morning that there 'could' be some incomings w...

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

Insane? had a good description of Vela, premiership athlete, league 1 skills. If he wasn't local he'd be long gone. If someone's offering something decent we'd be fools not to take it. What's 'something decent'? Unless we're talking £5m+ I think it would be absolute madness to sell now. ' You might...

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

Not sure how anyone would see losing Vela as a good thing, given how much we need his energy in midfield. He's not the most talented midfielder ever, but he's a better footballer than Pratley and he does that job better. We've nobody else in the squad who can do it. what about Williams? He seems to...

Idly wondering if the £900,000 offer was for Gary Madine. Interesting that he was in the stands in midweek.
Surely even Ken wouldn't think that Cardiff would accept a £5.1m loss on their investment in 8 months.

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

Nixon suggesting a few clubs are sniffing around Vela. I'd guess quite a large percentage of our fans wouldn't be too concerned with Josh leaving at present, but he strikes me as someone who could blossom in another team and come back to haunt us.

Aye.

I think it'll be as tough as the Bristol City game.

1-1.
Sweet as a nut.

Fingers crossed Sam I Am is back for the Super Whites to put on another show for the cameras.

Re: You can't buy character; but you can apparently get it for free.

Some of these lads we've picked up this summer must have already become fairly valuable assets. In terms of resale value, Magennis would be £1m+, Lowe £1m+, Olkowski maybe £2m. Credit where it's due to our recruitment team.

Re: Will we be dishing out a right Royal thrashing? Reading v BWFC 18/8/18 3pm

Assuming Sammy isn't fit to start I think it'll be the same team as last week, possibly Oz for Murphy but unlikely. P.P seems to be a bit cagey as to whether Sammi will figure? Not sure if this is gamesmanship or whether Sammi will show. He seems to have been training in some fashion. We sure don't...

I mean, you could be right. Need more of a look at Pawel. Yeah lets judge him over a longer period as I'll be surprised if he keeps this form up. If he does then we'll struggle to keep him! If we're in a position where other clubs want to pay us lots of money for him then that's perfectly fine. Olk...

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

True. And another thing about ALF - who's gonna replace him? Another Tyler Walker? We've lost a fantastic impact sub - one of the best in this league - and I have no faith that we'll end up with anything better than Keshi Anderson. We're bollocked if Magennis stops scoring. You'd hope we've someone...

Re: Bolton Under 23's the Champs.

The U23s kicked off their season with a 3-1 victory against Bristol City last night. Sounds like we've got a couple of real promising lads coming through (Politic and Navarro particularly) who hopefully will be given a chance to get games at senior level (here or on loan) this season.

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

The 'keeper issue is becoming a tad ridiculous, by the sounds of it. Walker was supposed to be sorted and then left. Camp was supposedly a done deal, then he seems to have also gone. Left back is understandable, as we were left in the lurch by the looks of it - but 'keeper needs sorting. Iles sugge...

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

Re my comment about pace, I had completely forgotten Wildschut. However, I still think we are lacking speed in most positions (which isn't the same as saying all our players are slow). Are people expecting any of our youngsters to get regular time this year? There was a lot of positivity around the...
