Hound And Clare has just signed for Wigan

Obvs not as patient as we’d hoped…


No big loss and were we ever really interested in signing him? As next to nothing is coming out of the club I am not really sure who can possibly know which players we hope to sign.

A player transfer has four stakeholders - the selling club, the buying club, the player, and the player's agent. Just because we are not saying anything doesn't mean the other stakeholders can't

Maybe I'm just coping but Harris and Clare don't seem like big misses.

Depends on who we end up with.

Must be some record though - 4 hours between being linked with 2 players to them both signing deals at new clubs.

Pretty funny from a certain perspective.

We've got RB cover, so not too bad, but Clare actually looked pretty good as an option.

Out of interest are you basing your opinion on his stats? I have never looked at stats so I just wondered if they’re reliable in terms of whether a player is any good or not. I have never heard of Clare tbh and I wonder if Charlton offered him a new deal?

All I've got to go on.
Age - coming into his prime.
Experience - lots of it at L1 level
Passing stats - decent
Gets the odd goal and assist - plus point for a defender
Tackling stats - decent.
Interceptions - ok.
Solid average ratings - for Houndy.

I think stats for individual things are very useful and can build a picture. I think the calculated ratings based on a collection of different stats are pretty iffy. I'd prefer watching them play a bunch, but I don't put the time into watching football other than Reading games and I rarely remember what opposition players do from game to game.

Yeah, that all sounds pretty decent for League One, cheers. Let’s hope we have some backup options.

I have noticed that Bradley Dack is a free agent now. I know he’s had some injury problems but would he be worth a punt? He’s still only 29.

Don't know why but I just can't stand the bloke but a fit and focused Dack rips up L1.

I'd be in favour of Dack if it wasn't for his and our injury records in the last few seasons, it's a recipe for disaster I think and would probably be another player who would spend more time on the touchline rather than the pitch. That would be a real shame because he'd standout in L1 as well.

Yep it’s true I do base most of my scouting on that value. Happy to admit it :)

Can she play for our women's team? Make it a double signing?

Sorry but should we know who Olivia Attwood is beyond, presumably, being Bradley's missus ?

I had to Google her myself, but she appears on the "reality" TV shows which tend to appeal to younger people (especially women).

Bit of noise about this chap again today. Contract offered apparently

Don’t know much of him but fits the profile of what we need. DCM. Champ and L1 experience

Seems to to have played regularly for Wycombe and sheff weds but then missed big chunks - presuming injuries
