Littlemoor Lad Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 We should have brought in Colclough, Conn Clarke and Berry like BP advised These are the type of players that would shake up our season and make a real difference to where we finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colclough is the best player in the league but for some reason they’ve moved him from left wing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was left out for the Oldham game to accommodate the the return of a star player. Read their fans forum. Colclough doesn't look as sharp, maybe carrying an injury.

I should imagine we are at the budget limit and if the likes of Rooney and possibly Hope ain't going to make the squad, it makes sense to use their wage elsewhere. If the target moves beforehand then we miss that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronoafc Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 The rumour is Franks said shift a couple before signing anyone else. Apparently we’re trying to move Rooney and Hope on. Them 2 alone is probably 4-5k a week in wages combined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK I get DU may have brought Rooney in ( I think he did) however no manager/coach gets every signing right or character. This is one of the reasons a manager needs time to get his squad right. Like DU or not we the fans need to get behind the side. Divided we fall. Come the end of the season let's judge then. We will either succeed or know we are very close for the next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rooney knows this, it's likely he'll be even more stubborn about his pay off and leverage the fact we need him out the door to bring someone in to a struggling midfield.

Look at how Klopp and Guardiola were doing it a couple of years ago saying the other team were favourites he's trying to protect his players they are under enough pressure to get promoted as it is. If he comes out and says we should be winning the league then he gives a stick for people to beat him with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrickyholden Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Its baffling that people think Frank is making the call on "shifting players out before bringing any in" Surely this is actually a Darren Royle call, who will be working to a pre-approved budget. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
