cambridgeshire canary 7,798 Posted January 13 (edited) "Today" This photo was from last year. We failed to match his wages and ended up signing Duffy instead. Edited January 13 by cambridgeshire canary 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah and we also had the foresight over a year ago to have a poster of Sarge in this season's kit. Finally a signing, but not a DM. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that definitely true? How do you know it's an old photo? Just trying to manage my expectations, as he'd undoubtedly be a great signing at this level!

Would there be a big poster of Sargent in this seasons kit up if this was before we signed Duffy? Genuine question can't remember if we signed him last summer before the kit came out?

Darth Vadis 167 Posted January 13 We signed Duffy in June and the home kit was released just over a month later. Suppose we could have tried to sign Mepham as well as Duffy though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suppose we could have tried to sign Mepham as well as Duffy though Batth was a late in the window signing I believe so we had already decided 2 new CBs required in light of Hanley's injury and Andy Os likely departure.

Monty13 2,736 Posted January 13 Mepham would be a great signing for this level, but imagine he’ll have a number of suitors with better promotion prospects than us. He’s also looking for guaranteed football which he’d get here as he’s an upgrade on our 4, but unless it’s a permanent not sure why we would bring him in unless looking to offload Gibson and/or Batth in this window. Lot of wages being spent in CD on players that won’t be playing, Knappers got a busy 6-8 months ahead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly, this would give us another CB in addition to Hanley, Gibson, potentially Kenny, Duffy, Warner and Batth, with Adegboyega coming up from the under 21s. Edit: forgot Tomkinson!

Lot of wages being spent in CD on players that won’t be playing, Knappers got a busy 6-8 months ahead. Mepham has also played RB, so I wouldn't be overly surprised to see Fisher loaned out for some experience and one of Batth/Gibson to move on this month.

Petriix 3,219 Posted January 13 Would probably be a great signing, but doesn't exactly plug one of the holes in the squad. I fear signing a defender at this point indicates the club thinking is that improving the defence is about personnel rather than the tactical setup. I find that worrying but not exactly surprising.

I’d have thought it a mixture - Kenny surely isn’t the long-term cb solution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
