Title: We have news!
Post by: Shawndrfc on August 01, 2019, 02:34:04 pm
Andy Giddings on Twitter:-

We have agreed fees for two strikers, personal terms and Medicals to sort.

Deals offered to Ward & Baptiste, these are additional to the other players he talked about bringing in.

Looks like a busy couple of days ahead.

It’s to be hoped Baptiste does sign!

Arsehole? The only thing he did wrong was cheat on his girlfriend, which isn't very nice, but how many footballers don't do that?

Hardly the crime of the century.

A label that you would find supporters from every other league one club would give to Marquis (other than Portsmouth possibly)

Not what we need unfortunately, ideal if we weren't rebuilding, but we need someone who is experienced in the mens game who can come in and make an impact straight away

Post by: sedwardsdrfc on August 01, 2019, 03:05:45 pm
I'd take Evans but would hope the other striker is younger with a better chance of resale value. if we do get two decent strikers we'll be in a much better position than last season in many ways

They don't sound like the two players in question either. One is a centre-back, and they are both only available for loan.

I’m saying it will be Evans and Clark both to old to sell on but both would bag us lots of goals for say 2 years

“Records as good, if not better, than Marquis”

Even if that means career records (has anyone in the country got a better record over the last 3 years?) that’ll be one in three, which is promising.

agree as the forward has only played about 2 league games and not scored any
Title: Re: We have news!
Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on August 01, 2019, 03:40:39 pm
It's clear to me anyway, there are four players we are close on signing plus, Ward and Baptiste.

Ideally DM wants a mixture of proven pedigree, particularly with the strikers, and young talent.

Whether thay all come off and when, time will tell. Now in the hands of agents and GB I would imagine.
Title: Re: We have news!
Post by: Jonathan on August 01, 2019, 03:43:05 pm
The Wolves players are reportedly loan deals. Hopefully we’ll get some players in that we can develop for ourselves too.

And I would say, if we get them all, we’re about back on track, numbers-wise. Out of those 6, there are 3 strikers, 1 attacking midfielder and 2 cb’s. of the Wolves players, I can see a lot of similarity to what Wilks could offer, so that one will be interesting to see if it comes off.

I hope we get Baptiste, as I think we need to replace Butler’s experience at the back. With Ward, there’s every reason to think that him and Copps could be good for one another. Remember someone similar joining us when SOD was manager, and that worked a treat.

Not Ched Evans for me. Regardless of the fact he was acquitted he showed him self to be a Moralless sack of sh*t by having an affair and then making his girlfriend go on tv to defend him.

He is a divisive character and that isn’t something we need after the summer we just had.
