You're forgetting the first law of the Albion at the moment. Burke (and Barber) can't take credit for anything. Everything good is down to Bloom. All problems/issues are down to Burke and Barber.
Please also ignore the fact that Bloom employs them both and is presumably happy with how they're...
I can't believe how ignorant people are. I think I'll trust the club rather than people on an Internet forum.
However, your second point is ridiculous. So you'd rather put Walton in the team before he's ready and then possibly affect his confidence if he makes a mistake. What a ridiculous comment.
It's comments like that that make it clear that you're clueless. Ankergren is a very good League 1 keeper and a decent Championship back up.
Aimed at the Conference keeper comment by the way. I think Walton may well be number two this year.
Completely different point as structural stuff doesn't come under FFP. The simple fact is few of us know what goes on behind the scenes. I would think that Bozza knows more than most so his comments on here should be listened to. The right signings is more important than timing in my opinion.
So what do you suggest? We sign two number ones on significant wages in case one of them gets injured. What happens if they both get injured? Should we have three numbers ones and not spend money on other positions?
There's also this thing called the loan market, which could be an option.
But this isn't what you put in your first post. Your first post suggested that he had no qualities and played no part in the clean sheets when we went up. Which is simply not true.
He's a solid enough option for second/third choice. We have an exciting young keeper coming through and, I'm...
This is exactly my thought. He was brilliant during the first season, especially the second half of it. Really struggled with injuries this year and we can't afford to carry him. If it was just one season, you could say it was unlucky but he had a bad injury record at Swansea too.
Will always...
I agree actually and that's why Ankergren works well. There aren't many keepers who'd be happy to be second/third choice at this level. If he's happy and knows he will only be called on in case of injury to the new number one and possibly Walton, then I don't think we'd be able to get a better...
I would say that if anything, Greer is a better player now. Less prone to the red mist developing. The only key players we've lost since that season are El Abd (replaced by Hughes), Bridcutt (replaced by Ince/Toko hopefully), Barnes (replaced by O'Grady) and Noone (hopefully replaced by the...
What a terrible post. Firstly, he didn't get a 2 year contract so get your facts right before slagging off players. Bruno, Calde and he all signed one year deals.
Secondly, while not being perfect, Ankergren is a decent enough goalkeeper. He makes the odd mistake (as did Brezovan) but he...
There definitely are not 40 decent Championship players in that list. Even if there are, we're looking for first team players not squad members. We need a first choice goalkeeper, left back, striker and possibly creative midfielder. Those options were not on there.
I genuinely do think some...
Really? Genuine question for you? Would you say this squad is weaker than the one which came 10th in our first Championship season? If so, why and in which areas?
I don't understand the negativity on here. I think with the current squad, we'd finish 10th-12th. I really think it is at least as good as the squad which came 10th in our first season in the Championship. If we can get Stockdale, Ward, replace Ulloa and bring at least one more in, I'm confident...
Completely disagree. Players like Obudajo, Hogan and Gray (who Brentford also signed from Luton) are a risk. It's what we did when we first came up and the likes of Harley, arguably Vincelot and CMS, definitely Hoskins although for different reasons, didn't work. I would say the players we've...
There's genuinely no point in arguing with you. There's no rationale. Personally, I will trust the management team who got us to 4th and 6th in the last two seasons.
I'd forgotten we'd come bottom the last two seasons. Being forgetful, I thought we'd got into the play offs both years but as you use the last few windows as an example, we must have been terrible in recent years.
