Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Canny mad to think it’s only 5 weeks till the first game of the season. Makes you think how do they manage to get another 5-6 in that we need but they always do somehow

 

hmm I think you’ve convinced me I may be writing Browne off too soon

 

We’ve brought 5 in in 2 weeks I think!

 

yeh if Triantis and Browne stay I agree. In my head they were both going

 

but it’s not tho is it

you’ve just disowned the universally acknowledged, accepted and recognised notion.

 

I would like one more CM to add to the 6

if triantis proves himself he could be a very useful player who can play CB 6 and 8

 

when he signed it was very much a very good championship signing and I believe he started regularly until the injury

then of course it’s hard to get back in

yes it was a free signing but he was that well regarded in the championship that when we were forward planning I find it hard to believe that he’d be someone they’d consider to offload in promotion so easily

there’s a lot worse midfielders played in the prem than him

 

I think it's fairly obvious to say that if we wanted him, he would be here. Personally, I think he should be here I don't think it would have been heart ruling head, I think his leadership would have been an incredible asset.

With all of that being said, the club clearly thought hard about it and made an informed decision that they think is the right one and I'm happy to trust their judgement on that.

 

My guess is the 6th man is likely to play very limited minutes. Maybe less than 1000. We could probably get any jobber to do that.

 

How do we give game time to 7 midfielders? I know the Afcon is Christmas time, but how do we stick to the principles of showing players a pathway if potentially 1 or 2 wont even make the bench on a weekly basis?

 

It's impossible to know if Seelt could step up, but I'd find it difficult to believe that he's managed to improve his game in the last 2 years given his injuries, so to me we still have that potential that we signed, not a Premier League footballer today.

Maybe him, Huggins and even Triantis are the emergency depth we need when AFCON comes around and have enough potential to have a go at stepping up and playing some minutes from the bench.

Keep them all around at the start of the season, loan/sell/keep them end of January after we've seen more.

 

I wonder who’s going to be at LB today and in Portugal since Cirkin and Reinildo both won’t be involved

 

my guess is Huggins left Hume right

 

Almost certainly Huggins... Unless they fancy Bainbridge or Anderson

 

Going to guess Bainbridge, with Huggins being eased in slowly.

 

We aren’t even halfway through the transfer window yet. Still plenty of time to bring in what we need.

 

I meant to make 6 sorry

neil sadiki
Diarra traintis
Le fee Rigg

 

Would people be happy going into this season with Freddie Woodman or Aynsley Pears as our goalkeeper? That’s probably about the level Patti is at imo. Wouldn’t even be up for discussion if he wasn’t an academy lad.

 

Browne as well?

 

I'd put him above those, the problem after being knocked back by Petrovic and Bulka is that there isn't a long list of goalkeepers that are available, who are within budget, willing to come to the club that are a lot better than Patto.
