Could a supporter group rally a consortium of wealthy folk to pitch an offer?

Ismael banging on about how we're ready for the transfer window and that all the players will be ready to integrate themselves in the FA Cup game. First bid for a player rejected. Guess we're not that ready then?!

Is wing forward and winger the same thing? cleary could easily do the Ohashi role he constantly runs the channels both left and right but I do agree I’d only be content with the signing if there was a proper number 9 to follow

That wasn't your original argument, are you instead now saying that the club recruited poorly? If so, then yes I agree Edit - Not to say that Morishita is a poor player, he is just not a winger, and Hedges does look useful at wing back, but again, has not offered much in an attacking sense as a winger

Reyes is probably not seen as a pure winger, he's in the modern "versatile forward" bucket. Type of signing that seems to align with the current "transfer strategy". Young, versatile, re-sale value, athletic/physical and far from a finished article. It was also clear in the interviews in the summer Gestede/Owen that the club looks to smaller foreign leagues + lower leagues based on our financials. Certainly a gamble, but seems to attributes that the squad is missing. Has a really good scoring record at youth level and a decent goal return/assist for senior level. Would he be a worse option than Henriksson up top? Head Coach, Conor Hourihane, added: “I’m thrilled to have Reyes on board. He’s got great attributes - pace, power, and a natural instinct in front of goal. He’s also versatile, which gives us different options across the front line

How many do you rate as wingers?

Yes, but I'd also ask you the question, if you wanted to be able to adapt to play a different way, wouldn't it be logical to sign players to be able to adapt ?

Kargbo - the winger De Neve - His primary position is a winger Hedges - Rovers are delighted to confirm the signing of winger Ryan Hedges Morishita - versatile attacking player, who can operate as a winger 3 of those have been available most of the season

That's great that. Making memories. Ok thanks fof reply

It would make more sense to me to actually sign a natural striker. Our team/squad seems to be a growing collection of square pegs in round holes.

When i come with the mrs and the lad we always do it,easy to get to the bar and somewhere to sit 2.5 hours before game and an hour and half after...then off to fox and hounds You get pie,peas and gravy plus a pint Usually have ex player interviews before game...a few players sometimes come in after game as the player family lounge is next to it My lads had photo's with quite a few players after games in there

"plenty"?

And what happens if Rovers see him playing up front in a 2 similar to what Thomas-Asante did? Have you ever thought of that?.

I don't think we will get relegated, but I am fast losing interest one way or the other.

$4.26 and some fish & chips 😉 Apparently its the sell on % after he makes the permanent move that makes the deal attractive

They both look absolutely thrilled in these pics 🤣

Isnt it logical to question the idea of signing a winger when we play a formation that doesnt include wingers?

Makes absolutely zero sense unless we don't rate him at all and San Diego have promised a pretty penny.

On the subject of right wing backs

Not obtrusive, just using logic.

You can argue that he puts up with (or is party to) far too much backroom crap. But given the hand he holds, he is at worst only so-so as a First Team Coach. Has good days and bad days but he isn't stubborn when things don't work. It is that flexibility that is his saving grace.

Great counter argument.

You'd basically get at least 20 minutes a match minimum if you signed as a RWB (obviously when you have 2 matches a week you probably flip that over so you get 70 minutes on the Tues / Weds). It's such a demanding role - you can see Alebiosu is often absolutely goosed towards the end of the match - that realistically 2 of your subs each match should be replacing the R/LWBs.
