Re: For new signings, ask the man from the Pru
If Bury and Rotherham think they can snare le Fondre, I doubt he's much if anything above our level. I suppose it depends on what if any, other offers come in to him by the end of this month.
I agree that Clough has displayed the odd flash of talent, but nothing anywhere near enough to justify some of the hype. I look forward to the endless drivel about us flogging off talent cheaply if he does go to Boro or Fulham as rumoured. If he can't stay fit, he's no use to us. If he isn't tough enough to put a shift in and make a contribution by scoring goals for his 7 grand a week, then the same applies. I really hope I'm wrong, but I've seen little to suggest otherwise so far.

I'm not even sure Le Fondre is the type Parky would go for. I think we need pace. Whilst Le Fondre scores goals you're committed to playing 2 up top and I wonder how many times we might do that?

Re: For new signings, ask the man from the Pru
Granted, but as I mentioned on the match thread, I suspect PP will go with 2 up top against some of the weaker teams in the division. If he's not going to do that then I really worry about how many we'll score this year and promotion looks further away. I'm sure he couldn't have missed the yawning gulf between Madine and the midfield on Saturday.

Re: For new signings, ask the man from the Pru
I thought that too. That said, it s easier to run like a headless for 20 mins than from the off, I thought he held it better and distributed it better (Proctor)...Rather than wait for the MF, he actually tried to find it. Didn't look any more like finding the onion, though.

Watched a lot of Cardiff in the years before they went up to the prem (housemate was a fan). Always thought he looked a good un.

Re: For new signings, ask the man from the Pru
per BN, Bradford chairman Edin Rahic has been trumpeting about how they beat us to the loan signing of West Ham’s Ireland U21 midfielder Josh Cullen: “We fought very hard to get Josh. I think Bolton were desperate to sign him as well as two or three Championship clubs. We were informed we had no chance at one stage. There was interest from the Championship and we knew it would also be difficult with his links to Phil and to Tim Breacker (Wanderers’ chief scout).”
Parky responds:
Parky responds:
Marc Iles, same report: “The Bolton News understands Parkinson will target a left-back as competition for Dean Moxey as his next likely move to bolster his squad before adding to his attacking options later in the window. Wanderers have yet to turn to the loan market but have earmarked two possible Premier League deals which are still in the pipeline.“Josh is a player I signed last year and he’s a very, very good player but we’ve got a lot of midfield players. Unfortunately for us we’ve got a restriction on numbers so to bring in another at this stage would detract from other areas. That happens quite a lot in football where a good player becomes available but you already have enough in that position. Edin’s probably point-scoring a bit there.

one of our weak links at the back in 2014/15, along with Leon Barnett and Rob Kiernan.
flaps about too much when put under pressure. AVOID!
He's currently injured, shame really always looks pretty good when he plays.plymouth wanderer wrote:Out of interest how's that young lad we sold Wigan doing? Andy Kellet
You can have Craig Davies back if you want?
The penalty he missed in the JPT Semi against Barnsley is only just coming back into orbit lol

Re: For new signings, ask the man from the Pru
Bit concerned that we seem to once again be prioritising full back cover over very clear and obvious gaps in the first team. We will only play one left back, but we definitely need another winger and another forward.
I'm sure we are trying to sign those players but I hope like last year we've not used up too much of a limited budget on players to provide squad cover.

Make that 2 wingers, Taylor is awful. I'd be sending him out on loan now!

Re: For new signings, ask the man from the Pru
I quite like this signing. We seem very short of naturally left footed players, and prior to it we were one Moxey injury away from having to play someone totally out of position, or play an untried youngster. He can even put pressure on Taylor too...

Definitely needed. Moxey is unreliable, typical recent bwfc loser.

Re: For new signings, ask the man from the Pru
I like PP's approach.. building from the back to prevent last seasons debacle of conceding 2 goals every game. Good teams are founded on strong defenses and clean sheets.
So now we have cover for GK, LB, RB and CH.
Next priority: wingers. We need two more with some pace.
Finally: Another striker to play off Proctor and Madine. Then we are done.
That should make the squad complete and ready.
