Ramirez has took all reference of afc out of his twitter bio.. The free market is our main way and the lack of signings shows we've failed in either a few or a couple. goodwin said he wanted most if not all new players in by start of pre season? Cause the targets he had were players coming out of contract in may/june. We'll be going down a list now I don’t think it’s negative to question why virtually nothing has been done to replace the 11-12 players that have left by the time we’re back for pre-season. It’s pretty poor 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d31 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 1 hour ago, RandomGuy. said: Tobias Lauritsen Looks a good fit as a target man type? Great in the air but also important for his team in possession. Maybe not hugely mobile (low def figures + low carrying figure) but gets into good areas. Slightly wasteful in front of goal last season but not so much as to be a worry. Used right looks like he'd be very effective in this league. Bojan Miovski Looks a great partner/foil for Lauritsen tbh? Not as good on the ball or in front of goal but looks like he works like absolute f**k. Your fans will like him better than Lauritsen probably even if he scores less. So aye, get both and they click then you'll have a good frontline IMO, but as always its unfair completely judging a player on these without seeing them play. Cheers. Interesting. Whats a fair transfer value for these players. Lauritsen has 5 months and Miovski has 11 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until he very publicly & obviously downed tools in February, I don’t want him back. Possibly our highest earner, & almost certainly not wanting to be here.

I liked him a lot when he first came here. Looked the penalty box striker we all wanted. But we never played to his strengths once Hedges left and the public spitting out of the dummy didn't sit well with me either. It can't be the first time a manager he's worked under got sacked. But like you say for the money he's earning we should be able to get at least 1 striker in who can offer us more than what he did.

DukDukGoose Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 There's every chance I'm wrong but he could have just been burnt out. He didn't have a break before pre-season last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having a couple of back up/alternatives to play some games or to bring on for the last 20/30 minutes was horrendous mismanagement. But I still think right from the start of games, for the last few months of the season, he chucked it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm pretty certain it's the case. I don’t like to say he just chucked it necessarily. If it was just the performances on the pitch I might give him the benefit of the doubt, but there’s too many off field signs to suggest at the very least he wasn’t happy at the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said in an interview (maybe the hunter one? Can’t remember) that he wanted 6 at the very least. There were previous quotes attributed to him saying he wanted 5 but I never actually heard him say it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
