We're looking at Matt Bloomfield @Sandikan tell me more about him
Luton Town in the Championship | Matt Bloomfield Era
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
I hope not. He could get us promoted against the money bags of Wrexham and Birmingham whilst working with one of the smallest budgets in the league. Though somehow Wycombe just signed a defender from Molde.
He played for us, coached us and has now managed us for about 20+ years with just a 6 month spell managing Col Utd
Known as Mr Wycombe, he actually lives in Felixstowe, which is bloody miles from Wycombe and in fact most of the country!
He's linked to every championship vacancy going, so expect it's just another link that won't come to fruition.
He's doing a good job here, but not quite achieved enough here yet. Meaning if he went elsewhere and failed he could risk not getting back in.
I don't think we've got one of the smallest budgets in the league anymore! Have you not seen our squad now?
Had a slow start after replacing Ainsworth but done brilliantly to tweak the style and have them seriously challenging for automatics.
I do think though they'll just be pipped as think results will dip now with some of the loans you've lost like Bolton recalling Morley. Also talk of Joe Low going to the championship.
Joe Low Toure to the Championship would be a huge blow to Wycombe. Richard Kone rumours stirring up as well.
We have just doubled our all time transfer record on a defender who was playing Europa league for Molde though, and are pursuing a quality defender Charlton have.
Also a battled hardened 6ft 5 defender just came in on loan from Luton and scored the 2nd in a 2-0 win last night in the FA cup v higher tier Portsmouth. Even with us rotating as heavily as they did.
So it'll certainly be interesting.
Birmingham should ease to a comfy league title, then it's 1 from 3 for the next space.
Missing the playoffs would feel a disaster from here.
Toure?
Low will probably need a £1m fee.
Kone would take £2m + or so, so we'll see on that.
So at least we'll be compensated.
Nah, you loaned him from Derby, who we sold him to after getting premier league. He was a great player/captain for us though and a nice guy when I met him at Legoland.
Ah yes. What you said, whoops.
I imagine Wrexham will make some decent moves as very good chance for them to get a double promotion. Huddersfield also kept many of their experienced players and they're on a very long unbeaten run currently so tough ask for Wycombe to keep going for top 2.
Joe Low, Joe Low, Joe Low,Toure?
Low will probably need a £1m fee.
Kone would take £2m + or so, so we'll see on that.
So at least we'll be compensated.
Joe Low, Joe Low, Joe Low,
Joe Low Toure!
It depends how quickly we can deal with and adjust to the departed loanees Taylor and Morley, who were superb in this division and how we deal with Low who surely will go when the bidding reaches 1m.
We've already brought 2 defenders in so we'll see how that goes. And have a number of other midfield options, but none who can play that very unique deep lying playmaker role that Morley could.
What also hasn't helped us v our rivals was having 4 games over 10 days. Huddersfield lucky enough have had 2 of their 4 postponed. Though hopefully those build up later.
Triple.
Looks like Matt Bloomfield missed Wycombe training today... This might be happening.
Separate word is that we didn't actually have training today.
But the noises do sound like you'll be appointing your next ex-manager in him.
Out "data" driven lot are meanwhile signing random Danish defenders for double our transfer record, while trying to bring a Danish mid in for double, this new transfer record. Mad times.
It's been announced. A bit risky considering our position in the league but I hope this fella is good.
feck sake
Wycombe are my closest team and since my son got into football a couple of seasons ago we started following them as a 2nd team to United and go to Adam’s Park quite often. I’m surprised and disappointed Bloomfield has gone mid-season with the chance of automatic promotion. My guess is he suspects maybe his reputation may not get higher if Wycombe drop off over 2nd half of season. The statement realised by Wycombe is very short for someone who has been at the club 20 years so maybe some falling out begins the scenes.
