Well, highlights don’t really allow me to have a complete opinion on Luke Woolfenden but i suppose EVERYONE can’t be wrong.
But……..
Looking at “improvement” ?? Understand what you’re saying which is essentially “anything” is better than Woolfenden. I’d disagree with that. This particular target is shipped out on loan by every club he’s been at, and theyre not exactly prolific clubs. Why he’d fit at Ipswich is anyones guess. …… as said; if merely to get Woolf out ——>> thats crap management. At least improve the position…… “at least”

I wouldn’t touch that defender with a barge pole. List of clubs he’s been to is worrying. I’d rather stick with Woolf as back up.marko69 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 10:10 amWell, highlights don’t really allow me to have a complete opinion on Luke Woolfenden but i suppose EVERYONE can’t be wrong.

Edmundson and Burgess look likely to be new CB’s. Burgess looks pretty solid and perhaps a better shout for captain than Evans.
Hope Edmundson is the real deal and an upgrade on Woolf.

Good points made, Marko. I agree Woolfy should only be replaced by someone who is better. I haven't seen Woolfy playing live, but I've seen him many times on television. He seems weak and slow to react and often commits fouls in dangerous areas. I've wanted him to improve especially since he's an Academy Grad, but it just isn't happening in my opinion.marko69 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 10:10 am

I agree. Wolfenden seems to me to a lad with potential. I think he zone's out during games and has been exposed almost every time. It could be just a concentration thing that will improve. Until he sorts himself out he should only be back up. If someone else is to be brought in, it needs to be someone who will be a significant improvement. A serial loanee does not fit that bill.marko69 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 10:10 amWell, highlights don’t really allow me to have a complete opinion on Luke Woolfenden but i suppose EVERYONE can’t be wrong.

Probably the epitome of optimism, but has anyone have any clue whatsoever about the ££ damage from this window?
While on the face of it we've done remarkably well, even getting a few quid back in player sales and ridding ourselves of some exorbitant wages. On the other side of it, a lot of players have slipped in with 'undisclosed fees' which perhaps make the deals feel better than reality, and presumably they come with large signing on fees and hefty contracts themselves.
Will we ever be able to take stock on whether this transfer window has cost the club £5m or £20m+?

A nett £4.50 profit……nearly all incoming quality acquired via freebies, and money received from the leaving dross, plus £400k recouped in wages on said dross . Result !

Profit?! We should be complaining about lack of investment then 
Miraculous if that's a fair analysis of what's gone one, but there must be a sting in the tail with all those contracts and agents this and that.
Does seem a great bit of business though and amazing why we have had overly large, injury prone squads for years when we could have just had wholesale changes when needed.

The wage bill must be substantially higher now, given the players we have attracted here.
Still within financial rules of course but right to the limit.
However it’s on paper very very good business this summer. Even if one player excels and sells for 5m it’s well worth it.

Think our current squad is pretty injury prone too...
Chaplin, Nsiala, Norwood, Burns, Edmundson Jackson,
Not sure if I've forgotten anyone.

Well half of those are old hat! At times it felt like the injury list was longer than the fit list. Let's hope at least to have only an average number of injuries from here.

He's the keeper I wanted early on he did well for Cook before, I think we would have got him but Brighton I think had an option for another season or gave him a new one I can't remember which.

Meanwhile, the Blues have started discussions with Boro about their tenacious midfielder Morsy.
Morsy was captain under Cook's management at both Chesterfield and Wigan and would certainly bring some differing qualities to the side.
It's an ambitious move, given the 29-year-old has been a regular starter for Neil Warnock's side, but there's a sense he could be made available at the right price given the midfield options at the Riverside.
The former Egyptian international was shown a straight red card for a late challenge in the latter stages of yesterday's 1-1 home draw with Blackburn
Also EADT running this story, yes please.

Morsy would be the ideal player, but feel he’s too far out of our reach.
Why would he drop a division? He has he played under Cook, though. Think this one could be a tad too ambitious.

It would appear the Christian Walton signing could be confirmed today. If it is this would be a master stroke from Paul Cook to secure a GK at this level.
Not sure why we’ve started a new Transfer Thread, this could get very disjointed, hope you guys won’t mind if I merge this topic with “Paul Cooks 1st Transfer Window”

It’s also rumoured this morning that we’re close to agreeing the loan signing of Bersant Celina from the French League 2 side Dijon. Whilst he would clearly be a class signing at this level I think we have other more pressing priorities like a GK and CB.
Re: Paul Cooks 1st Transfer Window rumour thread.
Posted: Mon Aug 30, 2021 10:01 am
I just can’t get into all this hype about Celina returning.
As you say we have far more pressing issues and I would add the need for a DM to those you have stated.

Great work to get Walton in, I think it will only help Hladky too. As for Celina, no thanks, pointless.

I couldn’t agree more. I don’t get it. We desperately need someone who is not only a ball-winner but someone who can control games as a DM. Scoring goals isn’t the main problem, we need to manage games better and stop giving stupid goals away.Shed on tour wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 10:01 amI just can’t get into all this hype about Celina returning.

I’ve given up trying to work out how many senior players we are allowed and if we can afford them. That’s Ashton’s problem. Don’t get this Celina interest. We’ve got loads of players now that can play wide. Why did we even bother snapping up Aluko?
