StudentOwl Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I know this sounds like the ramblings of a stats obsessed madman, but his passing success rate is only 59% in a team that likes to play football. To give a comparison, I think Lees has something like 70odd% and Sasso close to 80. For us, a side that too likes to keep the ball, that isn't good enough. I know defending is first and foremost, but especially in the Prem ball retention and distribution is a very important part of the modern game, and it doesn't seem like he'd fit the MO right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I'd prefer Bartley or Kalas, although sounds like Burnley are courting Bartley to replace Keane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go for Tarkowski from Burnley myself, think we were after him before he signed for them. Good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely to lose Keane already; I doubt they'd part with Tarkowski as well. Would only leave them Ben Mee, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 We matched Newcastles bid for Hanley in the summer, but got blown out of the water on wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Another name I'd throw in is Nathan Baker. Done very well recently alongside Chester at Villa. A good age, naturally left-sided, height, decent in the air, and prem experience under his belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauchief Owl Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Bruno Manga refusing to sign a new contract and is available in the summer. Would be good if we fail to get promotion. Luke Chambers (Ipswich) also out of contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shezzas left peg Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 How old is he??, would he make a decent back up that has time to improve, like sasso has this season?? If so at the right price may be good business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookeh Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Regardless of league I'd take a look at Liam Lindsey of Partick Thistle. Looks a promising centerback, 21, good height, playing every week and has knocked in 7 goals this season as well. I'll be quite surprised if he doesn't get a Scotland call up in the next year or two.

Well he's not likely to accept a cut in wages. Maybe we dodged a bullet there, not used much by them and he'll be on a lengthy contract costing them a fortune in wages.

Will end up going for north of £10m this summer. Probably the best centre half I've seen in the Premier League this season. As for Cahill, I think the days of players dropping down the leagues has gone. They earn that much money at the top level that they either try a few years in the sunshine somewhere, or pack in altogether. They don't need that last big payday anymore.
