Never seen a lad so I equipped whilst here on loan. Well, I can't remember one anyway, I've cast a few from my mind. I'm sure the lad will make us all look daft in the future and I can't stress how much I hope he does.
Jordan James and George Hall, heard these lads mentioned as talented? Would they be of any use here? Looking at Huddersfield, Sorba Thomas and Jack Rudoni stand out. Rudoni would be a good replacement for Ekwah if we could hoodwink a team into signing him (I like Ekwah but he's been stinking).
Would take Bielik and Laird from Birmingham if we are being greedy. Stansfield on loan as well pls Fulham
If anyone wants some optimism, Jack Clarke on instagram has just said 'we will be back stronger'. Emphasis on we. Straw clutching.
Summer rebuild might be a lot harder than we would want or hope. I cant believe Clarke will stay. Heard that Patterson is attracting real interest. I am still very nervous about Neil, the big scouts never stopped coming. Also been told Hume is a favourite of a couple of prem clubs. When we say a busy summer, it really could be, but I would be really worried if all of those left. Hell of an overhaul to make.
Clarke will be a big miss, 20m for Patterson would be outstanding business and Hume is decent but not the be all and end all. I'll be gutted if we lose Dan Neil.
That rumour won't go away, I'm sure I read their 2nd choice keeper is leaving so it would make sense for them to be in the market and Patto being home grown ticks a box for them.
Trigger the release clause for the Rotherham keeper it’s only around £800k (apparently) and reinvest the rest elsewhere and it’s a good move
No idea why they would spend that on a backup while they have perhaps the best keeper in the world at a very decent age. Seems bizarre to me but it represents good business for us I would think. Shame Young isn't a year further into his development. We'd possibly have a ready made replacement.
Dan Neil would be by far the hardest to replace, I think he’ll be here for at least another season unless someone comes in with a massive bid. Who we appoint as a manager is another factor though.
Hartlepool/Carlisle would be ideal, don’t know the keeper situation at either club like but keeps him close so he can still come back to the academy from time to time
I'm comfortable with selling Patterson. Think you can pick up good GK's for free/low fees which allows us to reinvest in other areas. GK is also an easy way to add leadership and know how.
