Summer Transfer Window

Paal is another option plenty of experience with QPR at this level, I’m sure we was linked with him before he went there.

He was one of the worst players I’ve ever seen in my life when he played down here last season for QPR.

Ronald has him on toast all game, he should have got sent off and cost them goals.

He got hauled off because he was getting annihilated

When does this window close? Is it Aug 31st?
I doubt that they are, but I hope the club are still working to plug the gaps in the squad, regardless of the quality bought in so far, we are still short on numbers.
Also hoping that they can still shift a few on as well.

In fairness Oko-Flex was a cut above, problem is he liked to attack and create which with it came the risk of losing the ball. Hence he fell out of favour with Martin and was frozen out like so many others under him

Yes, me too. I thought Oko-Flex had something good about him. Martin? Didn't know if he was on this Earth or Fuller's!

Well. I cant bet with the UK bookmakers cos I'm in the US. And I cant with the American bookies either cos my state is one of the ones that deems gambling illegal. So I cant get a bet on.

But, as an ex bookie in my younger days my view is the 12/1 on offer for a top 6 finish resulting in promotion is grossly over priced.

We are as low as 8/1 with some and even that is worthy of a pop for top 6 finish.

We were one of the top form teams in the last 1/3rd of last season and it looks like we have done some good business strengthening the team

Wrexham at 5/1 is not because the bookies think they are a genuine 5/1 shot. Its because they are anticipating the name will generate a ton of bets on them.

When bookies 1st open a book part of the way they quote odds is dependent on who do they think a lot of money is going to be bet on. So they quote odds shorter than the actual true odds and provide longer odds on some others to bring in bets on those others to balance their book.

Wrexham & Charlton being case in point.

Wrexham have done little in the transfer window so far.

Wrexham 5/1 won 27 games last season
Charlton 33/1 won 25 games last season

That's the classic we will drastically shorten the real odds on one and offer longer odds on the other to try and get people betting on the other one to balance our risk and liabilities

If you can get double figures on us to be in the top 6 and you like having a flutter then 12/1 is a lump it on situation not just a regular amount bet.

Bear in mind the window still has a long way to go. What happens if that No 9 comes in.

You’re lucky our current head of recruitment analytics doesn’t still post on this here forum anymore, he’d be all over this post for weeks on end

It's gone quiet on that front. I hope that's a good sign and McBurnie is revealed out of the blue. Wishful thinking.
