McCormick was a first choice target as was Lawrence I believe? But I don’t mind if we sign a third or fourth choice, as long as they are still good enough.

Gems not in the last season but in his overall management career with us

Yes there were some very poor signings as well, especially in his last season but there was some bloody good gems in there as well. LTB can probably thank Ardley for kick starting his career and how he has gone onto bigger clubs.

Dazzer, I thought it was only really at the end of Ardley's time we struggled with getting in our 1st choices. Maybe hampered by Kingsmeadow. I was thinking more along the lines of the signings of Bennett, Pell, Fuller, Francomb, Smith, Tubbs, Beast, Bulman, Reeves, LTB, Elliott, Charles, Robinson, Meades, Barcham, Parrett, Piggott, Deji, Long, Purrington. Surely a good percentage of these guys were his first choice.

*we, not he

Don't agree, kt2. With 300k to spend we should, nay, must go for a an experienced, L1 standard replacement - even if he have to wait for the summer.

bw75 - Ardley used to target a player and we used to go and get them ?? Did he - I thought we used to target players and then end up with 3rd or 4th choice on the list - and the was using money he shouldn't have been

Bluewomble - not sure 'experience' (at least at league level) is a realistic answer to our CF problem. Any available and affordable CF with good experience will inevitably be severely compromised in some other way, probably fitness, otherwise they wouldn't be available and/or affordable.

I think we've gone past the committee now, things are at perilous stage and we need to take a punt on someone. This should have been taken care of when Piggott left. Other teams are getting in new additions to aid them, why do we take our time. Never used to be like this under Ardley. He would target a player and we'd go and get them, now its like lets have a meeting about these players and discuss how many kilometers they run in a game and whether or not they buy into the Wimbledon way of things. Its gone past that now. Just get some bloody experience in the team to help these lads out why we still have a chance of getting out of this hole.

Nice to see Jonson out and Dicks out trending on twitter😂

I think the main purpose of the transfer committee is that no one person is responsible for duff signings or relegation :)

Who are the members of our recruitiment committee and do they have any experience?

Fleydon no chance Darius is currently too broken.

Please no to Danny Hylton he was fucking useless for us previously. And no to Defoe I can picture him now throwing his arms in the air because the ball isn't played into him perfectly. Ladapo would be interesting given his history with us - but he can score goals!

Hopefully we can get the left back announced today but doesn't look like the recruitment committee has been able to get a striker in and it is going to be panic stations on Monday

Hylton, Ladapo, Defoe, Oliver, Piggott. Any of these two to make us more competitive up front. I’ve been saying all season we were light up front even with Palmer. We have no strikers now 🤷‍♂️

Getting Pig back feels all kind of uncomfortable to me. Not saying it won't work, but it's fraught with risk.

MAD - I still think forking out 6k a week for Pigott is our last resort. Rumour mill remains silent.

Fleydon - Darius Charles up front good shout!!!!!

A point tomorrow *might* be okay but if we lose things are going to become quite tense I think. Fans and players are doing everything asked of them. I think Robbo is as well. The two failed loan strikers have cost us drastically - and the fact that we haven't rectified either of those in the transfer window is tragic.

Definitely gone are the days when he had two strikers of note. Can’t manage one at the moment.

Your moral is exactly why I won't sign Paddington but I do hope he isn't taken to court.
