Galway saint

I know it was a joke Sarcasm doesn’t translate well on text

Good let’s get him out of the door - hopefully that rules him out for Saturday and we can get Mara more involved

No downes looks to have some thought to it by random I mean typically last minute lacking purpose and thought and involving a bit of panic A classic random loan was maitland Niles

We have had a cycle of signing shit players, trying to shift them and when we do signing more shit players and rinse and repeat. Sometime we even compound it by offering new contracts to the shit players whose contract is about to expire. The window so far has been a damp squib on the incoming front. As I said earlier we look likely to shift the decent players and get a few random loans in. Also people who think we are off better off rid of adams are deluded

Yup that was my thought Feels a bit underwhelming at the moment

Good - would like to see us lose all our decent players by the end of the window with a few random loans to replace them

I really think we have done this to death. General consensus is he’s not great, might be all right in the future ( personally I think he will never be anything special) , but we are stuck with him for the foreseeable as the alternatives are even worse and the club have now publicly backed him

If we believe enough he will come good.

Fair point - up there with djenepo

As you know I’ve been one of bazanu’s biggest supporters this season but I agree it’s odd that no one in the club seems to think this needs addressing. The fact he was dropped last season shows they thought there was a problem then and the only thing that seemingly saved him was the fact his replacement was even worse. Suppose we will see what happens if they shift McCarthy

I don’t get the we must get behind him line regardless. No one is saying we’ve signed Tall Paul so let’s get behind him despite the fact he’s crap. There are plenty of players we are moving on because they aren’t up to it or don’t fit the mould. If RM thinks he’s a prospect then fine we as fans have to lump it but if he’s being given the direction from elsewhere then it’s a concern.

We’ve only been played two games - give it time. He got away with one yesterday that was offside and pre-season wasn’t without issues. Some good posts today on this subject. It is however hysterical for posters to suggest people hate him. From my perspective I want us to take the lad out of the firing line and get someone in who can help bring some experience and confidence to the defence. I accept that appears unlikely as things stand and the failure to address that is what people find frustrating; not the lad himself.

I’d rather have Neville Southall in goal - at least he would take up a proper position and marshall the defence

Thanks They’re not running the club manji id hope they would have the sense to see bazanu is a total liability

It’s absolutely negligent if we aren’t. It shows whoever makes the decisions at the club don’t understand football and how to build a successful team

Club trying to be clever again instead of doing the obvious thing and buying an experienced championship midfielder. Hopefully he’s more lavia than bazunu or larios ( what’s happened to him ?). We still are a pretty incoherent team and club

It’s nuts - he’s clearly out best forward.

They contribute little in the way of end product. Surely you’d play adams

It’s in the same category as bazanu or perhaps even worse. The more the window drags on the less confident I am we will sort the fundamental issues that have dogged the club the last couple of years but hope I am wrong

Suspect you will be right but AA has been an abysmal signing and yet he still plays and starts - absolutely abysmal

So our new striker gets insured early on and we are then asking AA or Mara to lead the line. Those are the tactics of a team with not much cash and apparently we are cash rich. I’m not saying adams is perfect but if we sell him we need two proper strikers if we are serious about promotion.

Suspect most championship sides would bite your hand off to sign adams. He’s not the greatest finisher but would be a cut above on this league

We need more than one striker and AA and the other chumps aren’t up to it. If we sell him there’s no guarantee Piroe will join but even if he does then I still think adams makes a significant contribution to a serious promotion push.

Losing of our one striker of any real quality doesn’t seem a good move to me. What does £13 million get you ? Wouldn’t even by the whole of tall Paul and look how that’s turned out. I think he would be a very good operator in the championship

A number of the names you put forward are not strikers. I’d be amazed if we aren’t looking to bring in a striker on the back of sales to date but then again I’m amazed we haven’t brought in a new keeper so who knows. We seem in the past few years to have gone through cycles of buying crap and then having to off load the crap before we can buy new players and rinse and repeat. Our recruitment has been atrocious. Guess that’s why we were relegated
