🎯Summer 2025 Transfer Targets and Rumours

[Boomerangpie]

Correct.

I would put this on the recruitment as it is clear as day Maynard didn?t fancy him also why buy a winger when they know we don?t use them ?

As for Traore why is Maynard getting stick for him the bloke didn?t look like he could control the ball or had any strength again you have to ask which smart ar*e signed him ? We can see where he came from so put 2+2 together.

This might be a blocker from getting an established head coach / manager if he doesn?t really control the ins and outs I would feel that way too as if it goes wrong there is only man who gets the blame.

I assume we use that same put 2+2 together equation to see where other signings came from to?

Also Will Jarvis 3.5 year deal.

Obviously every club in League Two are one bad (if we are being honest it?s more accurately awful or disastrous) season from being in the National League, that?s the nature of the beast.

Under these owners I don?t believe we will be anywhere close to a return to that level. The vast majority of the clubs that are relegated to the National League either have big financial issues or are very badly run off field behind the scenes, or both. We have absolutely no evidence regarding either under these owners.

The final third of the season might suggest otherwise?

The players in question are Traore and Jarvis with Maynard getting the blame for not playing or using them correctly.

We don?t play wingers so why sign Jarvis unless you change formation which we were not equipped to do.

A poster said Maynard had no idea what to do with Traore what can you do if he doesn?t look like he can do the basics all this settling in stuff is fine if he is a youngster we payed a reported ?300k for him I?d want him to hit the ground running and so far he doesn?t look very good does he ?

Exactly what people said in the season IB came in and we lost to Torquay, and what people said end of last season when SM couldnt get them going.

We finished better in both the seasons after this.

No season long evidence to show anything anywhere near catastrophic enough for a relegation.

If you add the end of last season to the end if this, it's not glorious is it!

If you only select the last 16 games of the season our points total then we would still have been well clear even on that poor form of finishing bottom two.

I guess based on that theory the previous season?s final third would have suggested evidence of relegation worries this season??. As you know we finished 6th.

Well Traore came from the same source that Jatta and many others came from.

I agree strange or more accurately a waste this season when we don?t play wingers we he clearly is but he is signed for 3 more years. Long term. Harsh to criticise Maynard as you suggest.

Traore doesn?t look good so far, Jarvis does though doesn?t he? Really good prospect from what I?ve seen if played as a winger in the future.

Jarvis is talented yes but he will frustrate fans at times too as he is a touch lightweight and gives the ball away cheaply but in saying that it’s the price you pay for playing wingers generally they are an inconsistent breed.

I’d prefer us to play a back four moving forward but we need to get the players to do it Bedeau at left back is a no no for me he is a CB who can play there if need be you don’t go up or have success with stop gaps.

I feel like I have to correct you with this post.
We paid ?108,000 sterling for Traore and we?ve paid just shy of ?250k for Jarvis plus a add on it was posted as undisclosed but am close to someone within the club.

It?s amazing how people criticising SM for no plan B, same tactics every game etc etc, so what?s the common dominator for the downturn, maybe actually the players??

If you can?t get yourselves up for a run in and also can?t handle the pressure then it?s pretty telling. I saw Abbott playing like he was a club legend for a number of years but there wasn?t much evidence of many others with that drive, energy and focus he had bar Didzy.
