He loves moving to a new club every season and has hardly anything in that time and I dont think he's even fit or has had a preseason. I'm sure he's a nice bloke and all but clearly not first team quality and we might as well stick with Idah is all I'm saying Edited August 31, 2023 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
repman 635 Posted August 31, 2023 Lowe feels like a signing for the sake of signing someone. I'd much rather go with what we have considering Sainz is meant to be back after the international break. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S_81 847 Posted August 31, 2023 Lowe = No.  No better than what we have already. Certainly does nothing to cover the Josh injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And he is better than Idah upfront as well. As a loan option, it would be good for 12 months Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shefcanary 2,448 Posted August 31, 2023 No way is Lowe better than Pepe! He was the proverbial good one game, disappeared thr next two with Swansea. At B'**** he seems to have disappeared completely. That's enough for me to say no! The agent stirring going on at the moment is reaching a new level! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People clearly dont rate Lowe but he's always looked a threat when I've seen him. Despite PP looking a little more with it this season, Onel for me doesnt cut it and never will and Idah well is Adam Idah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His stats/performances in general would prove otherwise. I am a fan of any acquisition that in my view improve our squad depth/quality. Lowe would be better than Springett/PP/Onel in my eyes.

dylanisabaddog 4,985 Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) I suspect that the club already knows the extent of the Sargent injury but is keeping quiet until the window closes. Making it public pushes up prices. If that is the case, it's not good news and probably a long lay off. I very much doubt we would be spending anything if he was fit. Edited August 31, 2023 by dylanisabaddog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus getting back up to match fitness we're probably not going to see him again until November kinda time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
repman 635 Posted August 31, 2023 Lowe had a good season 2/3 years ago but since then hasn't exactly stood out. In 1300 minutes last season he scored 3 goals, Idah scored 2 in 1150 and at least you can say he might just have some untapped potential. Even if you view him as a wide option we already have 2 experienced options in Fassnacht and Onel with Rowe and Sainz the other frontline options. Placheta and Springett both have featured this season but they're much more of a wildcard. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well you quoted staff last time saying they'll be no signings previously, which was incorrect. Realistically no one knows what happening behind the scenes. We can only speculate.

I still believe it was a bad sale at under what will prove to be his value. Wagner is gladly proving to be better than the end of last season. Long may that continue. Webber has made us some astute signings, I credit him for that. The Mumba sale remains an error, in my opinion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
