Jason Lowe I really don’t get. Appreciate his loyalty, and his versatility could work in our favour, but he really is nothing special for me, and has been punching above his ability for the majority of his career. I’ve never understood how he has forged a career playing in the top two divisions for most of his career. Always been a League One player at best. Great point that, its often about who you know that's half the battle, as long as they liked you! At 32 its also going to be about length of contract, he'll want 2 years minimum. Quote

I’ve never understood how he has forged a career playing in the top two divisions for most of his career. Always been a League One player at best. I'm not disputing that he's League One standard, but the "at best" bit is harsh. Always looked one of the better players on the pitch in our games last season, to me. No problem with questioning how he was a regular in the championship, but he's not alone. Danns, Trotter, Andrews, Chris Taylor, Andy Taylor, Buckley, Pratley, Vela, Madine, Luke Murphy and the biggest mystery of all, Wildschut. I'm not disputing some of these have decent qualities, but its league one quality not championship for me. Quote

Might be talking out my hole though Quote
Escobarp Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Iles reporting that it’s nearly done and “Swindon can’t match the money on offer at Bolton”. Which is pretty startling really when you think we are under embargo and can still Pay more than A league one club Quote
Biggish Dave Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 I believe between them, our owners are pretty wealthy people. I doubt they will throw their cash about any time soon but in order for them not to drain their resources at an alarming rate, they ain’t going to want to hang around L2 very long or I doubt L1 either. i reckon they will spend where appropriate while continuing to run a tight ship elsewhere Quote
JimmyRiddle Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Dunno much about him, and agree he had pretty patchy career. However, to go buy the divisions top scorer from a promoted team is still a statement for me. The fact he played with the new boss has to remove some doubt too. Hope it happens. Quote

It was cunt who made administration inevitable. They just came in and kept us in existence. Secondly, we are under an embargo and have a wage cap. If Swindon can't match us whilst within that then that's their problem, not ours. Fwiw, I reckon the fact that he played alongside our manager previously will be a pull for him. Quote

Be interesting what happens though as i would imagine there would be some big followings. If we start playing well and winning we could end up with "Sell outs" every week COYWM Quote

DMB’s and Eccles. Otherwise fuck off Quote

I've been thinking that if we start well and it's exciting, we could have a perfect set of conditions to get big crowds home and away. Ten years of decline Nearly going bust Decent owners New positive manager Years of shit boring football All on the back of months lockdown!! Folk will be gagging for it. Quote
Marc505 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Linked with Sarcevic and Jamie Devitt today by happy Nixon. Quote
Steejay Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Greengenie will tell us about Sarcevic, he was voted player of the year for Argyle. Edited July 5, 2020 by Steejay Quote
jmjhb Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 We wanted him years back when he was in non-league and we were in the Championship Quote
