I think we will get one, fairly later on in the window, and he will go and we are left with 3, so push one up through the Academy.
Quite highly rated, can play RM and RB, so it would make sense, even if KWP signed. But given who it is, take it with a pinch of salt. I tend to mainly only believe transfer news from Jeremy Wilson and Simon Peach.
He has called Ings a long while ago and 'recently Jeremi Rodriguez too so he has some contacts. But I too think he would a fantastic signing.
I read this morning that West Ham could be looking to hijack the KWP transfer, so if we are keen on him, I hope we can get it done before they muddy the water.
Well i think we have stated to Tottenham, Pierre wont be joined Spurs until we have arranged a fee with Spurs for KWP>
Brought his name up on the KWP thread. It could be the club trying to pressure Spurs over their KWP interest but I think Cash is a really good prospect at RB. He was initially a winger who got moved back. They rejected bids from a Red Bull club and Inter (I think) in January in hope of getting promoted. They imploded after the restart and I think they needed a draw on the final day to get into playoffs and ended up getting killed 4-1. I think he’d be cheaper than KWP and they will be looking to sell fast to rebuild their squad. KWP is known to the club and has done well but there are a number of similar players they could focus on if the deal drags on.
I've seen enough of KWP to judge that he is a great fit for Ralph's system but you are correct in saying that we can't put all our eggs in one basket and risk getting no-one. The balance of the team is crucial and we need someone who is good enough to start every game.
After seeing how well KWP played and fitted into the system I think we would be crazy to look elsewhere. Have back up options by all means, but we really should do all we can to get KWP
We need to start the season with a settled defence at least and preferably a settled XI and hit the ground running. We can't afford a similar start to last season with Ralph trying out different players that affects continuity and momentum.
No. But it’s why you brief journalists who report on the club about the list of other players you are tracking.
