Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 Transfer Thread…

What about Coyle, Drameh & Burstow?

 

So he's bad at the stuff LR wanted from a GK?

 

This wouldn't surprise me because it's pretty evident that our kick off routine is done knowing that we'll likely win a throw-in deep in the opponents territory, which shows Selles thinks in that kind of way.

 

Because he doesn't attempt more ambitious passes very often. If you just look at long passes (more than 40m) then he's 19th in accuracy, and in number attempted per 90 he's 46th, or if you rule out goalies with less than 5 90 minutes then he's 35th.

 

I think what I deduce from your continued whining about pandur is

 

Is it whining or just a discussion?

 

If Pandur’s distribution was as good as his shot stopping, he’d be playing for a much better team than us.

You have to accept that we have some good players that have some limitations.

 

Pandur's short passing is for the most part tidy and considerate, in that he passes the ball for players to step in to it. It's an annoyance I have with our CBs who tend to play passes that force the receiver in to having to control the ball and then think about what they're doing with it.

He's is a great shot stopper, he catches things others can't and prevents parries etc making the job much easier for himself and the team. Although his short passing is decent, he lacks a bit of vision and creativity in his short/mid range passes but tends to stay within his competency which is a good thing. His long passes aren't great or very powerful which is something he really could do with improving to go on at a higher level.

 

As the old saying goes, it takes two to tango. Maybe panda is kicking the ball expecting the forwards to run onto it.

 

Yes I would say his strongest attribute is catching shots which not many keepers do.

 

We signed anyone yet?

 

Coyle & Drameh- Keep,
Burstow- Loan out.

Coyle and Drameh were (once organised by someone who wasn’t a mad German) part of the fourth best defence in the league. Just let that sink in…

4th.
Best.

Whether you like this or not, those simply are the facts. Plus, too much disruption and we’re back to square one!

 

1/3 of the season
Plus are we the only team that has a keeper passing short to defenders a lot? Nope, most do the same.

 

Well as someone has pointed out that most of his long passing is **** I do think he must over-index in short passes.

 

I agree about Coyle - it’d be foolish to move him on. At the very least he’s a good squad player. I’m less sure about Drameh though.

The bigger question though is can they be part of a defence that good whilst the team also improves in attack? Next season we’ll have to stretch ourselves further rather than digging in as much - so the defence will have a different job to do.

 

I’d move Drameh on and try and sign someone to be no.1 rb with Coyle fighting for his position.

Full backs and centre forward or two must be the priority.

 

Would it not be wiser to activate the option to try sell him for somewhat of a fee? I guess if he gets injured in pre season we are stumped though…

 

Definitely not. Wisest course of action is to cut him loose and get his wages off the books. If anyone wanted to buy him they would have bought him last summer when we no doubt would have been happy to sell.

 

Who’d pay a fee for him?

He’ll get another club to gamble on him but only on a free

 

It's no more ridiculous than saying he kept us in games. He made some saves but as a keeper that's his job. How many of those saves were worldies.

Pandur is rightfully player of the season but he is also massively over rated. He's player of the season in a team that stayed up by the skin of their teeth. How many clean sheets did he keep?
