New players any ideas

[Parkinsons Perm]

Sorry mate I slipped out of character there....

It's Michael Bostwick.

It's not actually, it's Eric Lichaj

[StagInHucknall]

Brighton are always lending out players. Maybe Clough give Potter a ring.

Hayden Roberts and Antef Tsoungui from their U23s did well against Championship Cardiff City in the EFL cup. Maybe the next Ben White/Lewis Dunk etc.

Unless Clough is wanting someone with a lot of experience

[I am Spartacus]

Been down to Sandy’s for my lunch, bumped into an agent, big fella wearing glasses and a striker that looked really familiar and both had Portuguese accents.

According to the bar staff that are in the know, due to Ronaldo’s poor spelling in English and as we are the third team beginning with ‘Man’ we are his next choice should things not go his way at Old Trafford this afternoon.

Nah don’t think we will sign him Sparky, we don’t need forwards or midfielders and he wouldn’t want to sit on the bench.

Reminds me of the striker we were after in January this.

I've noticed lately you've got a bit of a downer on for Nigel.

What's changed your mind?

Not a downer mate, I think he is a good manager and we are lucky to have him,

however, so far his substitution's have frustrated me, I don't think he has been proactive enough and I think he is perhaps shoehorning his new players into the team at the moment.

With regards to transfer windows, I am still a little sour with how January went, him holding off for Akins and not getting him (letting 2 strikers go in the process) and it leaving us short, just hoping the same doesn't happen this time as we clearly need a replacement for Rawson.

but all in all I think he is a good manager.

Many would regard Jan as good window 2 big earners off the budget, and objective achieved league status during a time of financial restraint.
shoehorning new players could be just a case of players bonding, as most teams are at the beginning of a new campaign.
It seems Rawson is your weak link, Expectation is a two edged sword, any new player will not suit all, and he will be playing in league 2, and if he is any good we will be competing against bigger clubs, perhaps from a higher division.
Clough makes his substitutions with a lot more information on fitness and tactics than fans on the terrace,
Quality players have choices, clubs do not like to lose Quality players , Quality players cost more in transfers or wages,
But i do agree with you, if the number 1 target fails a decision will be made on a alternative who will be available.

Can he play full back? He was a winger so should be all we need

I'm gonna get in trouble with repeating this joke soon.

Only because some wouldn’t know what a joke is even if it was played down the right wing and crossed in to their feet.

[Sedgwick]

Will this CB be a young unheard of prem loan or a well established CB we all will know ?

Established, 33/34 year old.. someone of that ilk would suit

There’s only been one Ronaldo down Sandy’s and it ain’t that one

[James]

Perch and Bostwick at the back. Hope we don’t play against anyone quick in our remaining games.

[Amber Andy]

Missing out on Naylor, has caused a problem. It is looking more and more difficult to find someone of Naylor's standard.

If it can be done, Nigel will sort it.

January was not a good transfer window. I can’t believe anyone would dress it up that way.

No it wasn't a good window in the eyes of fans who expected us to sign 5 players and "go for it"...

[adamstag]

Despite getting the 2 big earners of the books i’m pretty sure anyone know follows mansfield regularly/understands football knows it was a poor transfer window at best.

Only based on the opinion that fans wanted us to spend loads more money during a pandemic, no fan, no income season. Fans were really saying things like we can go up if we add the right players... utterly bonkers.

If you're sensible and look back at it, yes we got two big earners out which helped the club. Clough would have liked one or two more players no doubt but it wasn't vital and in the end wasn't costly to staying up. Im glad we didn't sign players for the sake of it like previous managers would have done.. Sarkic getting injured was hard luck, he was a decent signing on paper. Quinn was a great addition too. And finally we saw some of the young players given a fair chance, and they did well.

It was perhaps underwhelming to some but wasn't poor given the circumstances.

It was a no harm done transfer window.

The injury to Lapslie did more harm than the losss of Cook & Maynard.

Not really worth discussing either is it? We stayed up and certainly didn't cost us promotion

Absolutely, my thoughts too.

At the time it was disappointing not to more new face through the door but looking back and at the bigger picture it weren't that bad at all.

[kevin kents tasce]

It definitely didn’t ‘cost’ us a promotion, but if we had been a little bit more adventurous we could have had a run at the playoffs.

Sarkic turned turned out to be a complete dud and it was obvious for anyone to see that Reid would not add the goals to put us in the mix.

We created lots and lots of chances last season and a decent striker would have turned a fair few of this into goals, which in turn would have become wins.

We should have kept Cook. He wanted to leave because he wasn’t playing, yet he was much better than Reid.

[yorkshire stag]

Sarkic now i’d clean forgotten about that little gem !!

He was and is a lot better than bowery too.

We found out to our cost last week how good cook still is.

[Conker]

We needed more than a striker or two to go for promotion last season.

[daddycool]

I would think the new defender ,is contract sorted ,2yrs, pay sorted 2.5k a wk . Just waiting for sept 1st for his company car .

Reid wanted to be here & worked for the team.

Cook didn't want to be here & worked for Cook.
