    Cirkin played 36 games last season, many with an unfixed wrist, which he is now recovering from. He's had a couple of freak injuries, and barely played in one of his seasons here. But he has still played over a hundred games, with around 30 in three of the seasons.

    In approximately the same time Huggins has played about twenty games.

    Let's hope they're both fit and firing, but Cirkin is emphatically not the crock he is made out to be.

    If the last few seasons ( especially Luton play off season) have taught us anything it’s that 8 defenders for 4 spots isn’t enough! I’d always go with four fullbacks and five central defenders being available, a couple of which could cover full back if necessary.

    If Bologna can get Heggem done soon I wouldn't be surprised if Lucumi happens pretty quickly after that

    He's a journalist, he wouldn't say that if he didn't know something imo

    But probably something in between imminently and next week :cheesy:

    He could of course have added that to get people reposting

    Knew we didn’t need to stress about it man they’ve earned our trust by now. Isn’t the CB we were hoping for but solves the problem until we get one at least

    Suspect we'll struggle to find good moves for them all by the end tbh. However, if we end up with 9 it isn't too egregious - even with RLBs tendencies. It's not the worst move in the world by any means. You'd certainly hope it isn't going to break the bank. Defo not having it as a real transfer coup though. If we were committing to a cheap fullback I'd perhaps have gone for a right back. Even better would have been a gadget player who can credibly play left back and centre half. I know the talk is of injury cover, but what on earth are we gonna do with the lad if both Reinildo and Cirkin are fit for the majority of the season (as they both were last time out)?

    Really hope we still get 2 CBs, but wouldn’t be surprised if we only end up one if we have Lucumí, Reinildo, Ballard and O’Nien as our main options. People seem to forget that O9 was our first choice CB all of last season, ahead of Ballard.

    Just hardly anything to go on with him really, apart from our lot signing him and their record being pretty good.
    But yes, he really needs to go and play twenty or so games on the spin.

    Yep i think we might struggle for loan deals for a few of them - especially the lads who haven't had a preseason (alese and hjelde)

    Huggins and seelt (nec by the sound of it) should get moves as they've played quite a bit in preseason

    He can play right back too I’m sure and will likely always be on the bench and be able to come on

    sounds daft to those that don't know...but a VPN makes the internet believe you are in another country so therefore makes it possible to watch/purchase things not allowed in your home country despite any posting address will be your own, strangely they do seem to be much easier to get now with many offering 'standard use' for free which is pretty much all that is needed, just make sure to start your VPN and set it to australia before watching and it should be fine.
