Former R's / Loan R's Updates

Not sure what the future holds for Smyth and Phillips if they are not deemed good enough to play in League 1.

At Championship level Wells will always score at a rate of about one goal every 2.5 games. The only real consideration when we had the chance to sign him would have been the reported transfer fee of £3m, his wages and the knowledge that at 30yo he would probaly never have a resale value. Most good strikers that keep themselves fit will play until around 36yo before there legs really start to go. Therefore, we could have expected an experienced striker that will score goals for the next 6 years.

IMO we missed a big chance to sign a proven goalscorer for a reasonable fee. Despite my reservations It's possible that the club have some plans in place to buy a young proven goal scorer in the summer window who might do all the things that Wells has done plus he will have a resale value. The likelyhood is slim but by September we will be able to see whether the club has the smallest bit of ambition or whether like previous seasons the money  invested in players is nil.

Good luck to Wycombe tonight and Gareth ainsworth 
Wycombe practically on my doorstep and be good to see us play them next season 

Ainsworth at the start of the season was down to 8 players in the squad and they were hot favourites to go down too
I’d like to see Gareth manage us one day 

Well done Wycombe 
see you next season
