belaguttman Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 2 minutes ago, Mr MO said: Looks like we've signed a replacement for Atkinson, seems to be traditional fullback but is a visa player. Atkinson gave us a more attacking and creative impulse something we still really need. I cannot see a traditional RB solving this especially with Galloway being the least of our concerns at the moment. Should have used the cap space for another AM, RW player - Luna type and just gotten a local back up for Galloway for depth? I feel our midlfield is not making the difference in this season. We have the champions league coming up as well and we need to adhere to the 3+1 rule. We already have Berenguer, Pucci and Nuno and now Jenskinson - so one of these players is not going to play ACL, I'm puzzled so the speak! A good ALM signing, if he can quickly learn our system, full backs are key players. We've seen so little of Pucciarelli that I can't imagine him being used in the ACL anyway, we'll be lucky to see him play 90 minutes in the ALM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Galloway wants to play overseas then keeping an ex-EPL player on the bench will look good on his CV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rule in the ACl now is you can register as many visa players as you want but only 3+1 will be on the pitch, realistically we would have Pucci, Nuno and Jenkinson on the pitch. I cant see us signing another first team player purely due to cap space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galloway has been a very good player for us, Clinched the GF for us with that third goal. Jenkinson may be good, but jeez, is that the position that we need to bolster?

Completely agree but most are content with it, I’ve seen more comments of fans saying that this is a massive upgrade on Galloway. If you look at it from that resume perspective it’s true of course but I can’t help to think that I would personally spend the money elsewhere.

jw1739 Posted January 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 According to an earlier @kingofhearts post he's a German-speaking Japanese...

My source from the club is saying we're getting a player called Daizen Maeda. He currently plays for Celtic but he lead the goal scoring in the j-league last year. We're essentially going to swap Curtis good for him, which is why he hasn't been playing. The club have asked us to keep him in good health before he goes for the medical.
