Shay McCartan goes to Lincoln on loan, surprised really as we seem thin on the ground with viable striker options if Wyke goes. Jones is a sick note, Brunker is a trier but Sunday League level, Patrick is not ready IMO.
Unless this means we have signed a replacement or Wyke’s staying...
Very good. The youth team played again yesterday and lost 7-2 against Harrogate Town so let hope we don’t get many injuries to the first team this season. Also far from me to be making outrageous suggestions but maybe we could try play some first teamers before the start of the season.
Looking forward to playing Everton’s youth team with our own youths who will probably have far more football league experience and who will probably win before we get fined for playing our youths.
As I said before Sunderland have said they’re happy with our valuation of Wyke so it begs the question why’ve they not just paid it, especially if Eisa is off elsewhere. Maybe just ironing out details but it seems to be taking a while seen as he clearly wants to go.
Vincelot goes to Crawley. Will be a decent signing for them if he rekindles some form. But he was going to struggle to play regularly at ours looking at the signings we’ve made. Colin Doyle goes to Hearts, won’t comment as I will no doubt get in trouble if I criticise the standard of Scottish...
I was more disgagreeing that you said he’s not good enough for the Champ, I think he could make the step up with the right system and service, hence what I wrote.
Wyke’s a finisher so he’d do alright in the Champ. He gets himself in decent positions when the service is right and he has the quality and composure in the box that a lot of lower league strikers lack.
Mobility is worth fck all if you can’t finish, look at someone like Hiwula.
Looks like Wyke’s off, our players are liking tweets about him being decent for Sunderland. I await being disappointed with the fee. Can’t see us getting over 1m for him but hope I’m wrong.
I’d be happy with 750k for Wyke but would be asking for 1m. Gives us at least 500k profit to invest in a decent goal scorer. He’s our best striker and he gets goals but he’s not gonna score 25- 30 a season for us, he might do in a better side.
Our kits are so half arsed this year. The blue away kit just looks like the training top. I don’t buy kits anyway but would struggle to justify stumping up for any of them.
He made a few mistakes in 16-17, considering he was behind a good defence and we ended up only being something like 7 points off the automatics that year it was clear to me we needed a better keeper to take us up.
He got the number one shirt again last season, not sure he had a much better...
Doyle’s proper meh, makes mistakes and doesn’t command his box well, but he’d be a decent back up keeper. Problem is he will want to be playing so he’s got a chance of being in the Ireland squad.
You can tell Gilliead’s got talent but he is pretty inconsistent. He has the odd game where he beats men and gets to the byline all game and you’re a bit like why the feck doesn’t he do this every week.
