Since Daly left I think we all, every season, have been hoping to get a “Daly type” player in.

If above turns out to be correct I am very excited. Sounds a bit like Fletcher if he has a bit more skill than Daly?

Daly was one  I never appreciated properly until later in his united career. In addition to being brilliant for us he also had a lot to do with Goody and Russel’s development.

If we get rid of those three we will have a bench full of kids again.

I agree.  However, part of me would rather have kids on the bench than a sulking Watt and petted bottom lipped Middleton, if that is how they are acting.

 
If what we saw on Tuesday nights subs was anything to go by then yeah I agree we would be better off with the kids. Tony and Glenn didn’t do themselves any favours with that display. Tony put more effort into the half time warm up than he did when he came on.

Watt was a fucking disgrace when he came on. As he was on Saturday.
 

Watt’s only happy if he feels valued and in the starting XI every week. I think he’d be a nightmare to manage if he’s relegated to being a squad player, to the point of being an extremely disruptive and negative influence in the dressing room.

If, as speculated elsewhere, we’re signing two strikers, then there’s really no room for Watt in the side. We’d be better even sending him out on loan for the remainder of his deal and subsidising his wages if need be.

Fuck sake, nightmare

Hearing Watt, Middleton, Grimshaw and MacLeod have all been told they can go.

I wouldn't get the champagne out just yet,Birighitti got told last summer he could leave but decided to hang around anyway.

We got rid of one fat Tony though so you never know 🤣

 
Watt especially ain’t going nowhere unless someone pays him 3-4K a week and no one’s stupid enough to do that in the UK.

Grimshaw hopefully goes soon, all the best to him.

Middleton would be suited to league 1&2 in England.

Rory Macleod, i suspect his agent will be begging teams to take him like they did to Fulham.

Hearing tonight the deal for MacLeod is essentially done, so as long as he doesn't absolutely bomb on trial then he's away.

Be glad to see the back of Watt and Middleton, neither good enough for where we want to be as a club.

Grimshaw i would actually keep as i think he's decent cover at RB and midfield, but i'm probably in the minority there right enough.

Depends if Grimshaw is happy to play second fiddle for a couple of places, maybe he wants to play and wants a move.

Of course.

But as has been proven already, we need a squad and he will find game time.

He's played twice already and we're only in Mid-July.

I really think Goodwin should keep him. He's a decent utility man and we will need a couple of them.

Particularly if him going on loan only saves us a few hundred quid a week.
 

Although Moult and Watt both look a million miles off it, I think we urgently require a central midfielder and a right mid.

We have huge fuckin gaps all over the place, a good team will rip us to shred as it stands.

We are in for a very long season I fear.

Too many sicknotes in our squad also.

Dutch striker having medical tomorrow

Has two years left of his contract at Ado Den Haag, so we must be paying a fee for his services.

He better be worth it in that case or Goodwin is going to look very foolish for not just pushing the boat out for Simon Murray either in January or this Summer.
