Transfer Rumours Summer '23 Transfer Thread

He made it to the England U20s not that long ago, but yeah I think he needs to be playing, this year was a complete waste for him. I just wonder if he would drop down to a level that would see his ability make him first choice. As he seemed content to sit on the bench for two league one teams this season.

 

Southampton have Walker-Peters and Romain Perraud though, unless one of them leaves it wouldn't make sense for Manning to go there, with or without Russell Martin.

Leeds maybe.

It's close to being done, the LB deal. I imagine it'll be announced when the players are back from holidays in a couple of weeks, unless it goes tits.

 

Teams seem to have started announcing players, can’t see why we wouldn’t.

 

Looks like Cardiff have appointed a Turkish, ex Fenerbahce manager. **** off, Turkey is ours you sheep shagging bastards.

 

Because we seem to have things wrapped up and then it takes another week or two from there to announce things. Happened all last summer suspect it'll be the same this year.

 

Indeed, but is what you would need a good defensive midfielder who is also good on the ball.

 

The boys on holiday together.

 

Gordon Nisbet

 

Maybe that explains the hoofed penalty against Peterborough

 

I know Ingram had a good run but overall Baxter was preferred as was Darlow after that. Meaning Ingram didn't see either off. Injury did for Baxter and Darlow went back. Ingram is a decent no 2 but not quite good enough for 1st choice imo, especially with the ball at his feet

 

He’d be worse without them

 

Pretty much agree with this. I know at one time when he played it meant we were letting three goals in even though it didn't seem to be his fault. However that's not the case now and i don't mind it if he's picked. I'm not sure baxter looked all that at the start of the season

 

I like Ingram and my feeling is that he is good enough. However you are right that Ingram has always ultimately been dropped for the others, and only tends to get back in due to injuries. So it does seem that managers don't see him as number 1 material.

 

He’s a great shot stopper but much like De Gea at United now I think when you’ve got a gaffer who wants to play the way he does, Ingram’s limitations will only hinder us long term as much as I do rate him. Probably as good a shot stopper as I’ve seen but not great at dominating his area and really slow distribution

 

I don't really see those weaknesses in his game. There's been the odd game where he's put a couple of kicks off the pitch while aiming for the touchline, but that happens with most keepers and I don't think he's as bad at playing out from the back as people say, and I don't really know what the "slow distribution" criticism really even means. Do you mean too cautious, rarely taking a gamble on a quick throw out on the break?

 

Ingram is not terrible with the ball, but Darlow was a definite upgrade.

 

To me he seems to sort of hesitate, as if he's thinking I've got to pass it out short coz that's what I've been told to do but doesn't seem comfortable or natural with it, which on occasion leads to poor decisions & risky moments. Obvs not all the time but more than should be happening. He also doesn't seem to look for an early ball out.
He's ok but I just don't think he's a fit for our style.

 

There’s plenty of times this season he holds the ball way too long when players are screaming at him for it, I never criticised his actual distribution anyway just the speed of it.

 

To me I don’t think Ingram was overly slow with the ball, but both Baxter and Darlow showed he could be faster.

 

maybe we could tempt joe hart
