If Rovers are bringing in 5 or 6 players- and three of those are Yuki, Batth, & Humphrys- that’s at least a step in the right direction. But, even then, only one of those three is proven at the Championship level (Batth).
I will defer to y’all, many of you have followed the club 50 years. But, the other 2-3 signings would need to be a step up from these three, imo.
At this point, I think most of us would be giddy with excitement, at the prospects of bringing in two, “really good” players.
Since relegation in 2012, have we ever brought in five, really good players in one summer!?
I’m not apologizing for them. I will give a shout when they sell the club.
In the meantime, we have a club, and I get tired of reading the same crap over and over, about how rotten things are.
we get it.
Not to mention the fact he stays somewhat optimistic. I’d much rather spend 20 minutes in discussion with Chaddy than the majority of the doom & gloomers here.
You might be right, but I get tired of the hopelessness & pessimism.
Chaddy, this all makes good sense, it’s reasonable, budget-conscious, and appears to have a logical basis.
We’ve simply become too cynical over time to believe our club is capable of doing this.
The last time I checked this thread, was almost 100 pages ago. But, the comments still lead me to believe, not to be very hopeful about the upcoming season.
I am generally a sunshine-pumper, but our situation appears to be growing worse by the day.
Our best hopes of signings appear to be 38-year olds whose legs are gone, and last minute loaners. I would rather see our own academy players, even with the inevitable mistakes of their youth.
I said he could score at this level… I didn’t mean I desire him to stay with us.
I’m sure he would be an upgrade for yo-yo clubs like Doncaster or Rotherham.
I would say, 45 goals for the club is ample proof he can score at this level.
But, I would agree with just about everybody here, it’s time for him to move on.
Yep!
It will be hard for the club to finish higher than 15th, with the current roster- incl. Sammie. Without him… I don’t want to think about our odds of Championship survival.
But, it’s not good.
