coopswfc76 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) Dunk would be great but unlikely, Duffy is poor, Manga I haven't seen enough of tbh, Mawson good shout. Mulgrew possible too wages dependent or perhaps Wheater from Bolton. Infact is Wes Brown still on a free?

Ryan1980 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 If we can't get dunk we don't sell lees simple.we need same if not better if we are to move forward as a club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking there's something in the Mulgrew link As long as he isn't a complete 'jack of all trades', he can fill the remaining holes in our squad Then hopefully, DC & CC will turn off their phones, for the remainder of the window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Within reason so > £4m Ghoulan only seen him one African Cup of Nations game but impressed me. Fast and good in tackle and cover. Has a long throw which is something I keep banging on about. Much better value abroad than some mentioned here. I don't know his situation other than he was in France and moved to Napoli. Make it clear this is a suggestion not a rumour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philb125 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I can't see us spending big on a player who will at best come to challenge 2-3 others. I think we are far more likely to bring in an unknown or free that will either be similar to Lees (most I think would admit to being underwhelmed if not a little panicked based on his Leeds career) and that he rises in stock potentionally displacing a more established player. I think the positive for any incoming player is that game time should be there to prove yourself. As hutch likely to be injured at some point as is loovens. I trust Carlos to do his thing and bring a player unwanted at another and polish him up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I reckon he'll go back to France if he does move though. He'd command a top pay packet to come here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F. Spiksley Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I'd like to see us have a cheeky bid for Ragnar Sigurdsson would cost less than Dunk and Manga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Wonder if we might loan Sasso again. I wouldn't, but as I've said in other threads, I don't think we will bring in an expensive CB as they will be seen as back up to Lees, Hutch and Loovens.

If our interest in Hanley was genuine, and I believe it was, then we are probably looking for a regular partner for Lees According to Nixon, we didn't go beyond £4m, when bidding for Hanley, but even that, surely indicates that it's likely to be a regular starter we're after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a dream, but he won't go for anything less than £20m, way to good for the championship. He's also a left back (a very attacking one at that).

That's my only reservation about Mulgrew. He might be, yes, and there are other advantages. His ability to play in other positions, though I've never found him that convincing in any. He has top level experience, and he'd also add goals, even from open play. All useful attributes, but he doesn't strike me as the sort of rock solid leader we need alongside Lees As I said, I wouldn't mind him, but would hope that we could do better.

That's my only reservation about Mulgrew. Mulgrew was a class act a few seasons back... As gurujuan mentioned he wouldn't be the commanding centre half Hanley would have been, but can certainly play there, left back (as pudil cover) and in midfield; can strike a deadball too! He's played at the highest level (champions league certainly is, although Scotland certainly aren't) and has a point to prove... These seem to be assets we look for, plus he's a Jock to boot! (Carlos loves em!!) My main reservation would be wages and his injury record over the last year or so... A Mulgrew of a few seasons back on a free would have been a no brainier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solid leader is Loovens. I appreciate that some want him put out to pasture for age concerns, but not me. Hopefully he'll be back by the end of September. In the meantime, we need to cover him - not replace. Mulgrew ticks a lot of boxes for us, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
