RedRaw Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 1 hour ago, Davefevs said: We have seen in recent weeks, in fact, most of the season, that there really is no need to play a target man. I was brought up on Neville and Riley, two smaller, energetic forwards who made up for lack of inches with endeavour and smart movement. So I’ve never subscribed to “must have a target man”. Same for me and although that appears to be the way we are going, you can’t beat a bit of Taylor & Turner every now and then 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 10 hours ago, SBB said: NP did say he was looking for an attacking midfielder before Semenyo left. Maybe Cornick is the midfielder and Mehmeti the replacement for Semenyo? An alternative may be that Sykes and/or Weimann are the attacking midfielders and that bringing in both Cornick and Mehmeti provides the options up-front to allow either to play in a number 8 or 10 role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-S-M Seagull Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I'm not sure if I can see this one being done. Can't see Luton wanting to play ball with us after how salty they got when Naismith joined us. Which was actually down to a lack of communication between their own manager and club rather than anything we or Naismith did. I think their dislike of us goes back to the Tony Thorpe days.

Mawson Owura Edwards James Taylor Zac Smith Opi Edwards James Morton Jake Andrews And Dean Gerken. So it's clear we've had quite a lot of dealings with that small agency which can only help us in this transfer. Especially as Gerken is now on our coaching staff. His partner is from Bristol too so you'd think that'll aid in any decision making... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It drives sales and interest. My wife runs her own little business and she spends more time on Instagram driving interest and engagement with her products than she does making them. I get the frustration, but a football club has limited opportunities to boost its profile. Transfers are a key element. It's just the way it is. No more ceefax rumours page...
