Summer window

Whats that got to do with him being called lord speakman?

 

Also just from a squad size perspective - I have done a rough mapping of ins vs outs to see where we are purely from a numbers perspective (I am NOT saying theyre the same type or quality of player). It also doesn't take into account where we were short or well stocked previously.

GK (-1)
Lost Bass --> Need replacement

CB (+1 but were short before)
Lost Wright --> Replaced with Seelt
Signed Triantis

Full Backs (no change)

CM (equal)
Lost Michut --> Replaced with Matete

CAM (+1)
Signed Jobe

Wingers (-1)
Lost Amad

Strikers (equal, but were short before)
Lost Gelhardt --> Replaced with Hemir


Based on the above the priorities would be a GK and a winger. But arguably the likes of Lihadji and Bennette could be seen as new signings on the wing as they barely played.

 

Speculation, it's a gossip forum mate

 

I hadn't paid any attention tbh but this is handy.

And good to get back to the thread.

 

On the goal keeper front surely it’s got to be someone older who’s ok to play 2nd fiddle to Patto any names we can put to this ?

 

Nope, it’s Nathan Bishop from Man United.

 

Mag who must work in the airport.

 

I could see us signing a couple like this for the U21 squad

 

So what’s gona be the craic couldn’t imagine Man Utd loaning out a player to sit on the bench

 

Only has a year left, they triggered an extension so will likely be a small fee

 

Ah right so it’ll be a permanent signing nice

 

Assuming so yeah wouldn’t make any sense to loan us a back up keeper, no idea if he’s any good mind hoping he’s Atleast ambitious enough to try and push Patto for a place

 

I would like another striker. Stewart still injured and he could have a set back. I don’t know how good the new lad is yet, too early to judge. As we saw with Simms last year though, we ended up with both out and I’d like the option where required to have 2 proper strikers on the pitch, especially if chasing a game. So maybe an established striker and even someone for the future would be ideal, to give us 4 options.

 

Athletic saying united have knocked back our approach for Bishop

 

What I was thinking as well as he doesn’t seem to have too many first team stats available

 

Agree, but some of the vitriol is embarrassing.

 

If we assume Rosco will be available and ready to go,we will still need at least one more recognised striker. If he's not,we're going to need two.The increase in subs allows a bigger choice of replacements and we need to be able to use options. We've gone to America with only one striker,ffs.

 

Waiting to sign Onana then Henderson/Bishop will be given the green light to go I think

 

Isn't it LGBTQ+ ? How is that anti-gay, the G and L literally stand for "gay" and "lesbian" haha

 

Even so I would have thought a solid championship level veteran would have been the way forward as backup to Patterson. I imagine any young talent would join with the intention of fighting for a place then leave after a couple of years, similar to Bass.
