1What positions will Mike want to strengthen in Jan and who would you like him to get. I think we could do with another c back midfielder and left back.
You are correct and I am wrong. Substitute "Butler" for "Pipe" and the problem is the same. Pring is possibly a better player than Tyler Forbes but both current full-backs/wing-backs provide a certain consistency of performance that makes giving their "deputies" sufficient game time difficult.daftasfxxx wrote:Forbes is a right back, could possibly you mean Pring?
But not everyone will be fit. If the squad is that strong why have only the bottom three conceded more goals?Percy plunkett wrote:When Les was here,all monies went on the playing squad and nothing toward infrastructure.We need our own training ground for starters and this windfall should go for that or we will never get one.Besides,we already have a strong squad with 20 players genuinely chasing a place in the starting line up.That means if everyone is fit,MF has to leave two out of the matchday squad all together.There is competition in all positions and I don't see where the team needs improving unless the loan guys are recalled.
Then we still have KMB,Foulston,Collins and Hillman to fill the bench and Cooper.These three kids will need to be given a chance at some stage even in small doses.That gives us 25 players,no need for anymore unless Cooper goes back or any of the other loans.Or if someone really special is available.Keep the cash for a training facility.Marky wrote:But not everyone will be fit.Percy plunkett wrote:When Les was here,all monies went on the playing squad and nothing toward infrastructure.We need our own training ground for starters and this windfall should go for that or we will never get one.Besides,we already have a strong squad with 20 players genuinely chasing a place in the starting line up.That means if everyone is fit,MF has to leave two out of the matchday squad all together.There is competition in all positions and I don't see where the team needs improving unless the loan guys are recalled.
Hopefully before signing new players Flynn will look to secure a few important ones who are in the last stages of their existing contracts. Amond readily springs to mind, and maybe Labadie.Est.1912 wrote:We have seen the gaffer in the past say that he would like the club to own their own facilities and ground one day and mentioned it specifically in relation to the FA Cup money from last year. But he has also said that he would like to bring a couple in Jan which what the OP was asking.
I'm not suggesting every penny go from there but for the right player at the right price why wouldn't we bring them in, our market is usually people we can get without a fee bar with a few notable exceptions and I doubt we would offer more than an 18 month contract so we wouldn't be tied into anyone beyond the end of next season. We have conceded a lot of goals and it makes sense that would be an area to look to improve.
Also having seen how much Mansfield paid for their training ground ~£2M it will take more significant investment than reaching 3rd or 4th round for a few years running.
P.S. We added some guy called Jolley in January once and I think he did OK?
100% agree with you on that! Amond, Mickey and Butler would be 3 I would try and immediately tie down, although I think Butler will fancy his chances of moving up level. Maybe wait to see if Labadie can reach his previous level before we sign him up for next year though.Taunton Iron Cider wrote:
