Celina was top target.
Top target had complications with Covid.
Town moved on from top target to other targets on the list.

Top targets complications with Covid weren’t as bad as first thought.
Top target then becomes available again.
Town sign top target.

Aluko becomes squad option who then offers experience.

Poll: We’ve got super KM, he knows exactly what we need. Woolfie at the back…

Of course we now are ending up with not the lean squad we all thought we'd end up with.

over 200 appearences in the championship

That's the why


It's a 1 year deal, he'll either get fit and be useful

or he won't and we won't really see him eventually and he'll just move on in the summer

Never be afraid to share your thoughts.

This is the one transfer I can see no logic in

Clearly he will get fitter but on Saturday he pressed with the intensity of an arthritic sloth.

Would rather see Dobra given a chance - too late now.

Experienced versatile solid good pro who was free and like as not will nab a few goals. Kind of guy you can also bring on if you’re ahead in a tight game who can hopefully hold the ball up, take it to the corner, buy you a penalty etc

We’re still looking at shift at least 2 or 3 players. So if they go ahead, I’m sure we’ll be okay and still a lot less than last season.

Aluko is on a years deal, he won’t be here next season.

There's a whole thread on this. Phil mentioned that there was a total of 56 players on the books last season. It'll be far reduced from that.

2 players per position seems perfectly sensible to me?

I know what you mean but I suspect that Aluko will get a few minutes here and there and Dobra needs proper game time, which he simply isn’t going to get this season

Needed strikers/wingers and he's been a good championship (and above for time) player. Also adds experience which the squads lacks

Good point regarding Dobra, he needs to play every week, it's not a like for like comparison.

I was just disappointed how far off the pace Aluko looked on Saturday.

He was a free signing and probably not on high wage. He is not our most exciting signing and will not be a first choice , he may not even make the 18 very often. But he is a addition to a square who who let a lot more players leave then they have bought in.

If he comes good , its a bonus.

I think he was a bit of a 'panic' signing when we didn't know how serious Celina's Covid complications were. He may be somewhat surplus to requirements if/when Celina joins but I'm not sure whether he expected to be anything but a bit part player.

Barry is the other signing that bemuses me, though - Villa will want him to have game time and when he's going to get that, except for in Trophy matches (which he could have got with Villa U23s).
