Seen this on YouTube: seems to get on the end of a few knock downs here. Think we should also be looking for the bloke to provide those chances

Id have thought Dobbin was the Archer replacement. Lankshear: can’t see that happening. If Spurs let him go on loan they’ll want assurances that he’ll be playing regularly. Doubt we’d give that promise or commitment with Larin and Azon here.

Perhaps we’re also trying to give Adam some nightmares, with Azaz and Azon in the same side. Dave Merrington might not be pleased if he were still on Solent.

Pleased with the type of the forward we’re looking at here, 6’plus, with some pedigree although has to be said not proven. For the money though I think we could have attracted a CF with a bit more of a record (perhaps at this level), and potential to improve. The Millwall pair of Coburn and Ivanovic (before his injury) for example. But as said, Spors record of signings (Downs aside) is good so let’s hope this bloke if he signs is more of a Larin.

On what grounds could we seek an emergency loan if Peretz was injured ? I don’t think the “our second choice is shit” would constitute an emergency as far as the league are concerned.

Hope you’re wrong in that as Scienza and Fellows (in my book and I know not universally accepted) are two of our most creative players. Give Fellows a good No 9 for the season is my main ask. This has nothing to do with dubbin, embrocation or old football boots that has now hijacked the thread btw

Sound a bit like my rugby boots at school. Perhaps I was fortunate that by the late 60’s the continental - as you call it - football boot was prominent. Amused by your Dad’s description. I can only imagine what he or mine might say if you’d come home with some poncey pink ones that are now the rage.

Agree with you about squad depth, and a later post suggesting three contenders on wings. Need to be well stocked in MF as well as that really is Tonda’s engine room. But you can’t list the requirement for good players, then one of the first names is Long. Another questionable one for me is Quarshie, and no one knows if Roerslev is up to it. CF and second choice GK are the critical ones for me, before any others leave and need to be replaced

Thanks. No real need for it now, and with the advent of plastic and other materials used for footballs didn’t use it after an early leather football I had was replaced. But I’m sure news if it’s availability will be welcome news for any leather fetishests on here. I never associated embrocation (ralgex, deep heat, or whatever) with playing football, but was commonplace when playing rugby. And yes, had a pair of boots once similar to what you’ve described. Tell it to kids now, and they won’t believe you.

Going off on a tangent here, and one for those of a certain age, but on seeing his name it reminded me of the name/type of wax said to be used on leather footballs- dubbin. Anyone else recall it ?

Could he step up to the Championship?

Two names mentioned on here before. Futkeu - the description there seems too much like Dobbin so can’t see that happening. Bobcek - looks impressive but only seen mentioned by posters on SF, not by any other - even unreliable- source.

Hasn’t No5 Marko Milovanovic joined the skates ?

Shame if it’s another door closing for Bazunu

Possibly because he hasn’t got a track record of playing there (see PNE fans comments). And also because he’s a short arse.
