Salech question

Mon Jul 14, 2025 7:34 pm

Here's one for you all.

If keeping Salech meant we wouldn't sign anyone then would you take it?

Or would you rather sell Salech and be able to strengthen the squad?


Purely hypothetical because I doubt that would be the situation.

We’ve missed a decent striker for a while now.
He gives a fck too!!!

Keep Salech out of those options.

We’ve lacked fire power and we finally have it.

The squad we have right now is still good enough for top 6 in League One.

And before anyone says ‘they got us relegated’ Sure, from a better quality division and you all said it wasn’t the players fault, it was Rizas.

I don't think Riza can take all the blame, 11 player cross the white line and they didn't show enough fight imo. Even Goutas questioned how we all just settled for relegation and I think he's spot on. There were some awful individual errors last season too. No brainer to keep Salech.

Keep Salech

Salech has to stay and if Robbo stays then we have up top covered - unless the manager adds a loan to that .

I dont like those options. For promotion, we need to keep AND strengthen.

Out of the options, I'd keep as he's harder to find and our best current asset to me. The danger in that is injury, as the backup is poor.

Strikers like Salech are a cery rare comodity nowadays. Say what you like about Tan but he's funded alot of options in the past 5 years; but all but Salech (back to Moore) have been poor or a short term solution like a Kaba.

Rocking horse shit

Salech all the way, he's perfect for league 1. He will be the top goal scorer in the league if we manage to keep him.

I'd be a little disappointed if these were the only two scenarios we had to chose from.
I'd probably choose to keep Salech as there is no guarantee that replacements are likely to contribute to the goal tally this season, the way we expect Salech to.

Hopefully, in real terms, I hope we can keep him along with improving a few positions in the squad around him with these 'quality' signings the manager suggests, to have a realistic change of an immediate return to the Championship.

If we are going for promotion as some form the club and on here have said and think then he has to stay even if it's an improved contact or whatever if he's sold it tells me we are nowhere near what the club are hoping for although even with him I don't think we are are a top six side in truth as we need 3 or 4 more and them being fit and ready who play every week but we won't get that as it's left late as usual if we do sign players but personal opinion of course :bluescarf:

I agree with most of what you've said.
However, we are still only mid-July and I believe the transfer window is open until 1st September. Therefore, we have plenty of time to strengthen the squad by then, if not before the start of the season, with the players the new manager requires.
It's a very long season, so although we may not have all the new players ready to start off, they should be ready to introduce to the team later in September.
Plenty of time to knit together!

I get you but we hear that saying every time when we don't bother in the market till last minute most seasons have been there same and all I see is "plenty of time left yet" from fans, when in truth they need to be together now knowing what there team mates are about and gelling, knowing what the manager expects. We have had so many players come in late in a window and are either not fit enough for playing time straight away or get injured after one game because they have not been playing enough regular at there parent club or clubs that my only concern. If we bring people in they need to be better than what we have otherwise what's the point but we have seen it all before where we bring a players in and hes on the bench for four to six weeks as he's well behind everyone else so it does not benefit us bringing them in to start with. Again it's a major concern for me because it's been going on for a few years in my opinion with the same transfer tactic :bluescarf:

But those options simply won’t happen, so again what is the point, if in this fantasy question I needed to answer I would say Salech.
