BigOwl Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Newcastle paid big money for him and he was absolute gash so spent most of the rest of the season in the reserves. On a free to replace Sasso would be fine but id hate to see us spend a big part of the budget on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind him here, he's exactly the sort of player we need. Now, if we could find a similar player abroad, but with Sasso's ball skills, then that's a different matter.

Southie_Owl Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I rated Hanley when he was at Blackburn and I was surprised when some of their fans said they were glad he left. But I expect they are feeling now that having him in their defence was better than being relegated. I wouldn't object if he was someone Carlos was trying to sign, but I expect he's moved on to different targets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwokenGiant Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) We were chasing him this time last year, so possibly something in it - an international player and a v good CB at this level, I'd be pleased with this at the right price.

torryowl Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 he must have summat coz so many seem to want him signed ....I personally think he just north of useless and could see him going the same way as the some other" big beast" of centre backs we've had who have been less than popular with the faithful .

vulva Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 It was between us and Newcastle in the summer, but we got blown out of the water on wages. We are now back in with a season long loan deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i used to be sc_owl Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Don't know anything about him. Keep hearing mixed opinions but we heard the same about Lees before he signed. Might just have to trust the club's judgment on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 We should sign that blond haired 17 year old kid that played centre half for Ajax against Man Utd. What a player he is going to be. £50m for Stones, £50m for Sterling etc etc? The price for players in this country is bonkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 He's a bit of a David Wheater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would take him as well, a similar age to Hanley, but maybe a bit better on the ground. The plus point with Hanley though, is that he is left footed, and a more likely replacement for Loovens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this, I remember L**ds fans saying they would drive Lees down here themselves, couldn't wait to get rid, yet he's now considered one of the top CB's in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could see him dragging the whole team forward when they needed goals in those final games. Scored six goals from centre half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Swansea will probably keep Bartley for their own usage. Been crying out for an imposing leader at the back since Williams left. Mawson and Bartley could pair well for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, his leadership qualities are also what appealed to me, it's something we need on the pitch, as we don't have a natural leader. Again though, leadership is one of Hanley's better attributes as well Either of them would be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
