Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Where would he fit in if we got him fit? Start as the striker?

 

I'm a bit worried about the lack of real top level pace across the backline and central midfield in general.

I think we have some talented lads across the backline and in central midfield, have physicality across the backline (not so much in midfield).

I think the majority of the starting players from last season have a big role to play they just need a bit of help from 4/5 PL quality signings…..easier said than done

 

I agree

 

Wolves spirting director leaving them too, all good news for us

 

I think we would rotate depending on who we are playing, Ferguson can play up top himself or with another CF.

I have high hopes for Mayenda next season so he will still get plenty of minutes but important to have different options available

I don't think we will be able to sign Ferguson permanently and a loan would be most likely

 

whats hamza choudruy got to do with it

 

If we could somehow get him on a permanent I would be very happy
I think he needs a new start somewhere Brighton have somehow killed his confidence I could see it at West Ham when he was played he’d take an extra touch that he wasn’t taking before the injury

 

I'd prefer not to loan him tbh. Think if we've got minutes available for a development player to acclimatise then they have to be going to Mayenda. If we could somehow do a perm, though, I'd be all over it.

 

yep I’d take him as I think he would offer us something different, yes he hasn’t had a great time at west ham but it’s been a bit of a **** show there at times last season.

lad will have lost his mojo a little but nowt the Regis le Bris rehabilitation centre for bruised, battered and out of form young players couldn’t sort

 

I remember a while back you mentioned him for a loan option for us the following week Brighton had an injury crisis the lad was thrown in against Arsenal and scored 2 and took off,if we could get him and he reproduces that form would be a yes from me

 

Wouldn't be keen on Ferguson if I'm being honest, think a permanent is impossible and despite his obvious potential probably a lot of work to get him firing again.

Rather bring in a player who feels they've got something to prove who's come off a good season full of confidence.

 

Agree totally

 

Loan with a view to permanent if we stop up maybe, similar to Le Fee’s loan deal last season.

 

Personally I think we should look for a single centre back who is top quality, potentially in the £20-25m range in terms of quality (obviously pay less if we can get a deal, free, loan etc)

The likes of Hjelde, Seelt and Aji are all capable backups and the last thing we need is another squad defender which Tanganga would likely end up being.

 

Hjelde isn't for me and Seelt and Aji are injured more than they play

 

in the 2 play semis and the final

Didnt concede a goal when Leo was on the pitch...

 

Remember how Mayenda looked, these young lads can improve rapidly under the right circumstances, Hjelde looks like a proper centre back to me but needs to improve his distribution and on the ball work if he's going to get upto speed, the fact he was shunted out on the left most of the time didn't help him very much.

 

I can't remember, but I went to check, and it says he played a total of 2 minutes in the playoffs

 

I have a theory, that will likely be proven nonsense, that at times we will play a box midfield next season with wing backs. Maybe in away games, or to match up a side. In a midfield like that I could see Neil and Morton both playing at the base and us getting joy in terms of possession. Maybe pace would be a problem. Just a daft theory of mine

 

Seelt did his ACL ffs he’s only been here two season played a fair bit first one then tore his knee
