Tylluan Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Going early as the rumours and possibles have started. If we stay in the Championship and Rohl is still here then Man Utd will offer us first choice on taking goalkeeper Radek Vitek on loan. They're impressed at how James Beadle has come on within our set up. Vitek is 20 years old, 6' 4" and built like a brick shit house. Very imposing and commanding but extremely agile. Currently on loan at Accrington and doing very well, despite their results. Signed a new long term contract at Old Trafford, in January, and they have high hopes of him being a future number 1 sooner rather than later. Schmeichel and Oliver Khan both rave about him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 (edited) I can imagine the meltdown now if we took an 18 year old on loan from Leeds with no first team experience. Crew is shining at the moment for their U18s but has only made the first team bench because of injuries, in particular to Ilia Gruev. Farke has said in today's pre-match that he's not ready for a start yet. At the moment he stands out because he's bossing u18 games against the likes of Millwall (watch how much room they give him in centre mid on a showreel on X). If Leeds go up, the plan is for him to spend a full season in their 21s in PL2, interspersed with first team training. Personally I'd follow that and if he's still shining against the likes of Liverpool and both Manchester clubs then loan him out in January. If we're looking at Leeds for possible loans then I'd certainly look at Sam Greenwood, currently at Boro. Boro won't be buying him but he won't be in Leeds plans as Farke doesn't fancy him. But, if you want a Crew type player who's already done a full season of first team football then I'd take a punt on Charlie Savage, if we could get a fire sale out of Reading. Portsmouth and Peterborough nibbled during January and he's attracting interest from the championship. Edited April 5 by Tylluan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie Gray is only 18 but broke through this season and there's now a £40m price tag on him as Arsenal, Leverkusen, and Bayern begin to circle.

Tewksbury Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Just now, Reesh said: I think you'll find that was the manager not the player. By playing in a style to accommodate Gregory and making the entire squad play to his strengths, rather than dropping Gregory and playing to the strengths of the squad as a whole. There's a reason there was a massive disparity in results when he started v when he didn't over both seasons, because the team as a whole worked better without him, still does. Every 3 or more win streak over the 2 years bar last 3 games of last season coincided with him not starting. Every 2 loss streak had him playing.

Another one of those supposed wonderkids who get touted up as the next big thing and fuck off to the bright lights down south before they've even kicked a ball or removed their senior career nappies. At least playing for Northampton will have given him some experience. And another Scotsman for the squad. Can't complain 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just got me to wondering why would he be leaving given the deal on the table and why hadn't he signed a pre nup or whatever they're called. Then I wondered if he had agreed to join someone if their status in whatever league that someone are in had remained the same or had improved, probably nothing in it.

If I was a big club with an eye on Röhl I'd do nothing till after next season with us. Let's see how he builds a squad and whether he can be as effective with a real pressure to succeed. In some respects this was the perfect season for him to start his career - coming in to a team already down with no expectations to survive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep the likes of Atkinson and more recently Bruce had PL interest in them. I think the entire championship would have some interest in a coach like Rohl but cash being tight they might not be able to pay what it probably costs not just for him but his wider team. I’d be more concerned if McKenna was taken from Ipswich, but that seems unlikely at the moment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyben Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Would you have a punt on Tom Cannon for a Season Long loan from Lester. He didn't get much of a kick after his injury and Maresco didn't rate him enough for a shirt towards the end of last season. If we do sign two strikers early enough, I reckon we'll see BTC go out to Donny or a L1 side and possibly Wilks out on a perm and who knows what Windass is doing but his video lookd a bit of a 'shop window'. If I was Röhl I'd be tying up Wheatley from Man U on full season loan is Ugbo not available to buy (Troyes relegation may mean they keep him as he's not Ligue 1 quality yet). So potentially: Smith, Wheatley, Cannon, as strikers wth Musaba, Gassama plus one or two more in the support roles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
