Bluesteel Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I hope we don't sign too many players from Portugal given that Joao and Matias haven't been that consistent. If we're serious we need to be making sure. We will be a couple of weeks behind now too in terms of getting deals going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcclesallOwl Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 What about Danny Batth from Wolves to partner Lees? And no it's not because he used to play for us. Wolves currently up for sale (I think? Unless I missed them being taken over), bit of uncertainty there, could get him a bit cheaper than we normally could? Two years experience of captaining a team in the Championship..

Only 21 years old. Not good enough, and even if he were it'd be impossible for us to sign him. Brazilian, no dual nationality so no EU citizenship and hasn't played the required amount of internationals to be eligible for a work permit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking this too the other day. True he's at his boyhood club but he's more likely to achieve something with us, hopefully he could be tempted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Think we need someone taller tbh than Batth. Been our weak point all season (though arguably Turner should have been our answer to this). Rather Hutch be CB back up next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birley Owl 1867 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Akinfenwa is being released apparently. What? Don't understand that myself. He has something to offer at league one level still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeakOwl Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Kodjia surely worh a look, depending on price. Probably in the 4-6M region? Yeah, just mentioned in another thread that Bristol City seem resigned to losing him this summer too, according to the article below: http://www.winnersports.co.uk/jonathan-kodjia-set-leave-bristol-city-fc-24904 Also includes a video of his goals and overall play. 19 goals in all competitions for Bristol City this year, pacy, not without skill and good in the air too.

Bristol City fans seem to think he was very hot and cold... but you can't argue with what he's accomplished in his first year in England regardless. We could certainly do worse, but I'm going to foolishly hope we somehow do better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Famara Diedhiou might be worth a shout He's 21 or 22 and scored about 21/22 goals in Ligue 2 this season for a side that finished mid-table. To put that in comparison, last season Kodjia scored 15 goals for a side that got promoted from Ligue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) Permit? You've just gone from an A to C- can do better. I request a re-evaluation on the basis that he's been in France since at least July 2011 as he was transferred from French side FC Sochaux to ASM Belfort. French citizenship requires only 5 years of residence, and I think it's safe to assume that although the records only go back as far as July 2011 he was in France for longer than that to actually belong to a club to be able to be transferred out. So I think it's safe to say he's now a French and thus EU citizen Can do better? Has done better mother****** Edited May 30, 2016 by StudentOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
