The players needs to go to Europe somewhere. Think maybe Spain, France or Belgium will suit his style of play. Or maybe a Burnley who play a front 2. 20m is far to much.

Hey BB, here a question for you to think about. If say we have to pay that Augustine money, do we now own the player and are his current club obliged to pay us? Also what is the rule to demanding money yet releasing a player for free from their contract thus allowing to move for free. On a different note. I was reading that it cost between 1 and 3 million a season to run a first rate academy but then cost club up to 15 million to see kids 18 to 23 actually truly develop. If this is true then it is about time we bought a feeder club. I have read that in Australia, Poland and such nation is cost around the same amount to run their complet club which sjrely is better option to have those 18 to 23 year old developing at. Imagine say Gotts, Shackleton & McCalmont playing together for a full season in the Polish or Australian top flight then coming back the following preseason ready for first team. Surely better then sitting around they are currently doing as we control their development and games.

Roberts is 22 i think not 23. In his time at the club he has not yet seen a full preseason. He has had a number of soft tissue injuries and is only now starting to slowly get match fit. Like many i believe he was trying to hard to score that first goal at this level, now thats done i see he kicking on.

Those who have been around the old site will know i will on occasion put down a name of youth talent whom i believe will be good signings. Based on a scouting report i was just told about this morning i suggest our club look at Andreas Schjelderrup from FC Nordsjaelland in Norway. The kids is only 16 and is a midfielder or winger and has some serious ability. I give it 12 month and everyone will know him. He has already 7 first team appearances and has 3 goals. Offer the 300k, sign him to a 5 year deal and leave him at his current club playing for the next season. Oh and from the same club 18 year old central midfielder Tochi Chukwuani is also pretty good as well.

Feel sorry for young Striker Niklas Haugland. The kid has talent and was just starting to show his abilities when Covid-19 hits and he can not play any more games. We then sign Greenwood & Gelthart and suddenly he deep down the player list. Plus a slight injury this season did not help. He would have been worth a 2 year U23's development contract. Type of player - think a raw Chris Woods type. Left Fullback - personally do not believe we need to spend a shed load of money here as i believe Leif Davies can fill the role. Also think Gotts could as well. Attacking Midfielder - Alfi McCalmont can do it, Dallas should be there and i believe that Harrison could also play there well. Plus unlike others i like Roberts in that role. Also believe Shackleton could nicely slot in as well. I hate the idea of spending loads of cash this window. I prefer just to secure/consolidate our bank accounts and continue to develop slowly from within.

If and i say if Berardi decides to start coaching or managing he will be back at our club very quickly. The same could be said for Hernandez. This is where we need a true feeder club in a smaller footballing nation. Imagine we had a club in Australia and we send both players there to play a year or two and bring them back in as assistant coaches. Keeps icons at the club and involved.

Think it was last year we were linked via rumours with young left full back Liberato Cacace from New Zealand. We maybe back in for him after he had a very solid first season in the Begian top league. As a back up Keeper i would sign Danny Vukovic who at 36 would be ideal as a back up experienced person and is free agent after his contract at Genk ended this month. I think our back up will be current under 23's Elia Caprile.

In my opinion we need to give the left wing back spot to leif Davies for the remainder of the season (allows us to know if we need to buy or not here - i believe he can fit easily in and we do not need to buy). The position that Klich plays needs to be given to Shackleton as well (i know he played well today but his age is limiting his week to week performance - Klich that is). Like to see Jenkins get game time as well.
