Transfer Rumours

Bang on in my opinion.
I like Dykes, but if he got 10 goals in a season then that would be superb for him.

 

It's moot anyway and like you say time to move on. I would say though their stats aren't really directly comparable, Dykes had much game time than Charlie, something like 16 completed 90 mins vs Austin 3. Still think Austin is a natural, his last goal proved that, whereas Dykes is not.

Hoping Beale can get a tune out of Dykes but he really has to start realising his potential and his injury record is a worry, he wasn't fit all season and is injured again now.

Definitely need another striker innit.

 

I'd be very happy if we conducted our transfer business under the radar, far from the rumour mill and with wisdom. Those years turn out well much more often than the Chris Samba, Julio Cesar etc years. Loic Remy possible exception to the rule!

 

Kid called McLean signs pro contract having come up through the youth. Green shoots?

 

Mitrovich is total Pony in the Premier league as he proved 2 seasons ago, get him in

 

Beg pardon?

 

Rotherham ( a bogey team of ours) sign Conor Washington, on a free from Charlton.

He will score against us ...no doubt about it

 

Always thought Smithies was a class keeper when he played for us

 

I would have him on a free no doubt about it

 

Would he play second fiddle to Seny?

 

He’ll have the World Cup to be top dog and keep his place. Senegal got a decent chance of getting out of their group.

 

Strongly linked to Cameron Archer...

 

We were the minute Beale took over ! Excellent on loan at Preston after January and they want him back. Gerrard has said he wants to look at him in pre season before making any decision on him. Don't expect any move for him to happen quickly no matter what is decided, if we do get him on loan then it won't happen for a while but would be an excellent addition.

 

John Swift and Luke Freeman released on frees.

 

Swift joining WBA

 

Freeman has been a spectacular flop since leaving us.

 

I don't think I'd want him back

 

Forget Freeman , way past his best. How many games has he played in the last 3 years ? He must be ruling the day he left us , only to disappear onto various benches and never get a chance to fulfil his talent. You look at Eze and he had a huge impact 2nd half of his first season in the Prem and only injury curtailed his rise. Glad to see him getting back to near his best near the end of this season, how Freeman must look at him with envy and think if only !

 

Yeah Swift is class and we have no chance of getting him, out of our price range. Whatever money we do have to spend its vital we spend it in the right areas, Strikers and wing backs. As long as we can keep Willock and Chair they'd more than compensate getting in a Swift like player. I'd like to see us get another attacking midfielder though as the goals from there have been sparse over the last few years.
