2023/24 Wednesday transfer thread...


Recommended Posts

BPF has that physique that too clubs seem to want in a keeper nowadays. Similar to Paterson at Sunderland. I just thought there was always an error in him. I’d rather we got someone in that we owned ourselves rather than revisit each season.

People on about BPF but Dawson now has another promotion season many clean sheets and more learning from mistakes un popular but I would stick with him and get good back up surely 

Dawson isnt a Championship keeper, we want to push on, we need a better Keeper

He is now.
 

What the fuck constitutes a championship keeper anyway? Think he’s been excellent on the whole, of course still areas for development but he’s nowhere near peaking yet 

All about opinions NFB, but my heart is still in my mouth whenever he's near the ball.....

 

Mind you, I've felt like that with a number of keepers over the years tbh...

BPF isn't a championship keeper which is why he ended up with us in L1. He wasn't when he was with Leeds either. The reason he's been linked with us is because we've released Stockdale and his agent is hawking him round due to his contract situation. 

@owl4ever1867 out of interest who would you bring in if you had a choice?

Karl Darlow might be worth a punt.

Good shout but there's a couple of problems that Hull are finding in their quest to sign him. 

Newcastle want £2m for him (probably settle on £1.5m) and Darlow is on £25-30k a week (Hull were paying half during his loan spell)

Matty Ingram is reportedly not happy that Rosenior has publicly said he wants to bring Darlow back to Hull and wants 'talks' on his return back from holiday.

He's got the same agent as Smith and Famewo and I believe we've been offered him after Pearson had a last minute change of mind and stopped a move to Bristol City. 

I think the possible move to Bristol is what made him turn down the improved offer to stay at Lincoln.

The rumours are always interesting but history tends to suggest that the first we ever hear of most actual transfers is at best a few hours before they are announced.

The likes of Smith and Vaulks were more publicised but I always suspected that was leaked from the Rotherham side

 

Why would the transfer of Vaulks be leaked from the Rotherham side when he came from Cardiff

Dunno if Joao is out of contract at Reading but would he be worth taking back?

Seem to remember him having issues with injuries

He's out of contract, and nah I wouldn't go back.

Where would you play him @TheExile

I’d be hoping we ditch 352 as he’d only play rwb or striker in that formation. To be fair he’s done ok as a striker.

I think if we went for a back 4 then he could play rw also as his natural position

He’s difficult to second guess sometimes as I think his ideal preference when he arrived was 4 at the back. But admittedly it’s unlikely at first. It may change though at a higher level as we are playing better teams and wing backs can get pinned especially away from home. 
 

I think with Ogbene he could play in either system having scored a few down the middle. Like a poor man’s Antonio he seems to have migrated more centrally over time

I'd take Ogbene if Paterson left as he'd fill that role of second line forward/wide player. Would he come to us knowing he's not guaranteed to be on the team sheet. At Rotherham, or another club like them, he's a first choice. 

There's a case to be made that he made a lot for Smith when they were both at Rotherham but we don't play that way.

Fucksakes!   I hope this doesn't mean we're reverting to the Doyen / 'Pikachu' model of recruitment.  

Not likely. This has been in the works for 6 weeks plus and Moore has alluded to it recently.

Hope we took his memory stick off him.   Or gave him the one with Carlos's 200 Centre Backs on. 

Beyond perhaps Reece James, I can't imagine we're remotely interested in the same players

They can't afford the same players.

 

I assume we are looking at new head of analysis/recruitment,  he was a Bruce appointment but don't begrudge anyone taking a step up in role,  good luck to him.
