L1 Retained Lists

[CAMiller]

I admire your rose tinted glasses.

If HPRM's glasses are rose tinted, how would you describe the ones you wore during the SE debacle?

The opposite of your whinging, jump-on-the-hate-Evans bandwagon that you and you sad old mates ones wear who, often pop up on here? Why do you ask

My, my such unpleasantness. I defy you to find a single post of mine where I professed or exhibited a hatred of SE

I’ve got better things to do old man. And by the way, you started it so don’t come the sanctimonious one with me.

I admire your rose tinted glasses. Regarding Hughill and JCH. It’s wages that’s the problem. None of the sides mentioned will match their current salaries so very unlikely that they will move on. Cam has gone - I’ve heard Luton are in for him and will offer miles more that we can and also will be up there with the favourites. Oddoffin was being monitored by Wednesday but that may be gone now DR looks like he has moved on. In any case, he wants championship football and he won’t be here come August.

The points about homegrown talent is true but JJ is not a future hope or indeed a reliable squad member. He is brittle and can’t string more that one or two appearances together. Besides that, he is garbage and nowhere near div one level. I’m not sure he is even football league standard and the stats support that. Holmes - well he looks like a fish out of water. This is professional football, albeit not a great level but never the less he hasn’t got the game to play at this level. So, all this points towards a very very negative situation. I’ll give TS the benefit of the doubt because he might back MH but so far, so not good.

The league next year will not have a runaway Birmingham but it will be competitive. As it stands, I am worried. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Donny, hudds, Bradford, Barnsley and Chesterfield (if they make it) all have bigger budgets that us. It could be a tough battle with a novice at the helm.

Thanks for the reply, I will disagree with you on JJ I think he will come good, Homes is the one I am more surprised at, I see a lot of lower league football there are many out there who look good but lack the confidence and game know how to step up, I put Homes in that category, let's hope he proves me wrong.

The one I really like is McGuckin I was appalled by the treatment he received from Evans, recalled from a loan when flying put into the team away at Barnsley hauled off and scapegoated at half time and subsequently told he was not wanted. No wonder his confidence was low when he went back to Yeovil. I think Hamshaw is just what he needs.

Finally you may be right about Haks and Cam, personally think there is no chance of Cam staying, I am a little more hopeful with Haks but expect there will be a better offer for him, a lot depends on who the new Huddersfield gaffer his, however who in there right mind would go and work for that owner?

Just go on what I see don't listen to anyone only when it's official. MH he's like a breath of fresh air after Evans but he said his retained list would be business like but that's not keeping Kayode & Holmes. Like I said can only be for the micky mouse cup. Get shut of JCH for starters. Not bothered what CAM says I mentioned McGuckin before anyone else on here after seeing him play in the friendly's when Taylor was the manager he could be our answer wide right. Hoping Haks stays he's our main man! Get some younger signings in still got sicknotes here.

Fair do. Just can’t seen JJ coming good but I hope he does too. If Cam does stay then I hope that MH is planning on playing him in midfield and not at the back. He’s not got the physicality for a division one centre half or the aerial power. Similarly, if Haks stays then I hope it’s got the back line and not midfield.

I just think we need to secure an athletic midfielder who can bring the team together and take a game by the scruff of the neck. No one in the middle - Powell, Kelly or anyone else can control a game. MH needs a 28/29 year old who knows the league and can captain the side. Wrexham and Stockport solved that problem with James and Norwood. I think SE wanted Kelly to be that man but he’s not mobile enough.

I agree and would not be surprised by an attempt to bring Dan Barlaser back on loan, Kelly is a good player but too static at his age. He will be good for the last 15 mins when we need to close games down. Someone on x has mentioned Morgan Feeney and he would not be a bad addition at the back.

Not heard much about Morgan F but that’s a good age. Do you think Barlaser is realistic? For me, he is way too good for division one and he’s got over 60 appearances (many as sub I suspect) for Boro. If he leaves there then I would image he would be aiming for another Championship club but perhaps MHs connection could be the pull.

There?s a lot of speculation and second guessing going on . Let?s wait and see what the squad looks like towards the start of the season.
