Even if we signed a young prem super kid on loan, all L1 teams were trying to sign, some moaners would still moan he’s not experienced or never played in L1.
Maybe just let the club get on with building the squad for this season and judge new incoming players by performances on the pitch.
And get behind your club and players.

Well said Stan,
Think we need to give both Perkins and Kelman a chance, ie at least 10 games before forming an accurate opinion,
If Ritchie is happy with these players then most fans should be. Personally I see Agyei being first choice as our No.9 with Kelman as back up / sub with Perkins being used sparingly until he’s used to the rough and tumble of League One Football.
Hopefully we can offload Pigott and Moncur now before bringing in El Mizouni

Agyei is currently our only proper striker . We'll need to wrap him in cotton wool because Kelman and Perkins will be powder puff . Don't forget we've already seen Kelman play while in League 2 so can form an immediate opinion .

If we think he's got potential, then I wouldn't have hated bringing him in permanently to develop with us, even if I don't rate the guy. But his current level is obviously still average. Underwhelming, even if Wellens clearly really sees something in him.

Maybe Richie thinks he can get the best out of him but aside from about 5 games at the start of his spell with us, he looked completely lost.

Remember when he started he was down the middle, then due to an injury to somebody else he got shifted out wide. It's still only his 3rd season so has improvement potential. If he doesn't improve I think he'll turn into a lower league 2 player or non league.

He’s basically Drinan mark two and they sold him. If you want a player to run around,that’s fine but as for scoring goals which I thought was the purpose of a forward then?? It ain’t going to happen

He’s literally nothing like Drinnan.

Ruel is not prime Romario like most of you seem to think.

This is nonsense and you know it.

Some people didn’t rate Ruel. Some people thought he was a worthy squad player - cheap, can do a job in a number of positions, and has a nasty habit of scoring goals. No one was demanding we build our team around him or that he regularly starts games.

Ling ain’t going to allow us to have 5 strikers on the books this season

Currywurst and Chips wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2024 3:11 pm The four strikers we have for next season as things stand managed a sum total of 9 league goals last season

The same as Shaq Forde by the looks of it
