I have no idea what you mean, he has played well over 1.5 games of Championship football 😉 https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kristi-montgomery/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/719680/plus/0?saison=&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=GB2&pos=&trainer_id= I have every confidence that he will reach 2 games worth of minutes by the time the window reopens Edited October 10 by KentExile 3 Quote

Maybe we have judged him a bit too quickly, given he actually looked fairly decent in his first game or two. Older players have been crap for far longer than that before coming good. Quote
Backroom Tom Posted October 11 Backroom Posted October 11 Wonder if anyone will take a punt on Tom Lockyer; not played in 2 years since his cardiac arrest and released by league one Luton, currently training with Bristol Rovers. will he play a game before Moussa Baradji? Quote

"The Scottish Wayne Rooney"..( Steve Kean on Goodwillie) "The Brazilian Denis Irwin" (Steve Kean on Rubeiro) And, last but not least, the reason for Salgado losing his place was nothing to do with his contract situation, but "..the emergence of Jason Lowe"..( Paul Agnew) 2 Quote

TheKitGuy Posted October 13 Posted October 13 One for Jan, William Osula Newcastle would be a really excellent loan deal. Quote

roversfan99 Posted October 13 Posted October 13 Theyll have Wissa back by then. But Osula was meant to be going to the Bundesliga in the summer. No way is he coming here. Quote
roversfan99 Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Alebiosu - good. Downgrade on Brittain and csn be clumsy but a Championship standard player and a good pick up De Neve - crap Tavares - cant even get on a bench that has 2 left backs, Forshaw and Montgomery on it McLoughlin - pretty poor. Can see why he never nailed down a central role at Hull Henriksson - crap Baradji - totally pointless Gudjohnsen - crap Miroshita - fallen out of favour Miller - pretty poor and certainly not a centre back TGH - pretty poor What an exciting window. 3 Quote
Backroom DE. Posted 4 hours ago Backroom Posted 4 hours ago What was it, £2m we spent on Taveres and he can't even make the match day squad? In our position that is appalling financial mismanagement. If he's injured then OK, but as of two weeks ago Ismael said it was not injury related. 1 Quote

That fee was 100% made up to make it seem like we were investing above 500k on individual players. He wasn't even a starter at Moreirense. I suspect the only player we paid more than 500k upfront for this summer was Morishita. This is largely a team of 500k players from lesser leagues and unsurprisingly it's incapable of winning any Championship fixtures. If there was anyone in charge they'd have removed Gestede a long time ago and fired Ismael without hesitation after tonight. 3 Quote

Yeah but most of them are getting Championship mins so their value is increasing ready for the agents to move some on in summer and bring in more lightweight crap. That's the agenda here. 1 Quote

It's hard enough at the best of times to get decent players here without paying good money, nobody will want to come in Jan given were we are likely to be. Quote

Almost certainly true, but now it just looks worse for them as if they did inflate the number to make it look like we were spending, they now look more incompetent for supposedly wasting more money than we actually did. It'd be funny if the situation wasn't so dire. Quote

Foreign markets are odd though especially when it comes to players having mins in one of the toughest leagues around outside the elite world divisions. Look how quick Broughton moved on the rubbish he signed and got some money back in as well. Quote
