Summer '24 transfer window

Or carry the ball up the pitch with pace like he does. The rest aren’t comfortable like that

 

I don't disagree with that but he isn't what I'd call a modern day fullback. He's a bit of throw back to old fullbacks

Which isn't a bad thing btw

 

The club aren't prioritising a senior striker

Literally got a senior striker on the verge of coming ffs. We're literally haggling over Mendys price and have been for a while. Got to take into account there ownership change aswell.

Mendy is literally doing what Darren Bent did to join us, if not more, and people are saying we aren't after a senior striker? Mendy will be here by the end of the window and probably wear 9 or 19 once they leave.

We won't be loaning Scarlett, it'll be similar to what we did with Cirkin and Ekwah.

Speakman has said multiple times he wants to develope out talent and not others, so why loan Scarlett?

 

Maybe do a loan based on what villa offer for Crotcher ie 12 month loan for Archer in exchange for Crotcher

 

A loan player coming in doesn't have to a bad thing for us. Scarlett on loan allows us to send Hemir out and get some game time. Our squads improved and one of our lads gets valuable experience

 

We ain't getting Archer. Sheff utd bought him for 20 mill and villa have just bought him back.

Way out of our league.

 

Agreed, just not happening. Would be joining one of the sides fancied for automatic promotion if he was to drop down to the championship.

 

Probably but that would leave a sizeable hole at CB.

 

O’Nien - Ballard - Alese - Cirkin​

Decent back 4 that is. We’ve got very good options at the back, when everyone is fit.

 

It's the when everyone is fit that concerns me, I don't think we can rely on Cirkin. Hopefully he'll prove that wrong this season.

 

Totally agree. I love Cirkin and could see how high his potential was very early on in his SAFC career. He’s been here 3 years now though and hasn’t played enough. Fingers crossed for this season. I’m convinced he’d be playing PL football by now if it wasn’t for the injuries. Cracking player.

 

Crotcher rejected a contract here so is free to leave but we got to agree compo for him so don't think we can add him into any deal

 

Massive week ahead

Would love a new forward in for Sunday, even just on the bench.

 

Aye fingers crossed mate. I think his injuries have been mainly due to him being brave and putting his body on the line rather than him being injury prone due to some inherent weakness.

Hopefully he has better luck this season, he deserves it.

 

Absolutely. Seems like a cracking lad and hasn’t had it easy the last few years. Still only 22, huge potential.

 

Corry Evans still without a club. A little surprised, thought he’d get himself a decent move on a free.

 

Mendy will end up here by the end of the window don’t think this doesn’t happen personally

 

I hadn't heard about that transfer so I guess my idea is a non starter, thanks for putting me right...

 

Huggins

 

I hadn’t either mind.
