He was awful, as was the other centre half. Atty and Joao bullies them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernOwl Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Has Abel Hernandez been mentioned? Available on a free and probably the best striker in the league if his injury problems are behind him. Only 27 as well so in his prime. Wages would be an issue but given he'd probably be worth circa 15 million if he was under contract would be well worth it. If we can shift Rhodes out on loan his wages would cover a good chunk of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Quite a few quality top flight based youngsters been playing in the Toulon U21 tournament recently, some of whom for England and Scotland, might be available to loan at this level? I'd look at someone like the impressive Jay DaSilva, a young wing back/full back who was on loan at Charlton last season from Chelsea and looked impressive. Arsenal's Edward Nketiah looks quality too plus Chelsea's Billy Gilmour looked impressive for Scotland, along with a few others. I don't know which youngsters from those teams will be close to first team action or whether they will be available to loan or not? But hope we get a few quality loanees in, similar to Huddersfield a couple of seasons ago, to blend with our own youngsters and our key experienced players.

Yaidom free from Barnsley and improvement on what we have a left back, Manchester they have already spend nearly £100m and come the start of preseason they will have a full squad of players to work with Hunt is twice the player that Yiadom is. You cannot be serious with this post? then to say we ought to be more like the Manchester clubs... do you not think that they do their business because money is no object? And, behind Barca and Real, playing for either Manchester club is a player’s dream. Unfortunately, we are either a stepping stone or players will wait for better, more attractive offers before joining us. What a bizarre couple of comparisons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Yiadom wasn't the answer and hunt will be alot better under Jos next season but maybe not good enough. Yeah Fulham full backs been the benchmark in this divison for years. I can disagree! *waves* We have bigger problems than right back. If we start the season with Hunt as our number one choice, (and if Palmer leaves) with Baker as back up, I'll be completely comfortable. Hunt is fast, can cross and isn't as bad as everyone makes out defensively. We need cover at left back (if Reach is to play there), cover at defensive midfield and depending on how we set up, 2 players for the right wing to replace Wallace (and cover he never had...as Boyd never bloody plays there).

Night King Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 It’s all very quiet at the minute. Transfer window closes when the season starts too doesn’t it? Not just us. Doesn’t seem to be a lot happening at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ship them out when they’re fit. As it stands in CM we have/had Bannan, Pelupessy and Jones fit with Butterfield gone so until the likes of Abdi, Lee and Hutchinson are fit the Honeyman shout is a good one. Who would you ship out of CM @Beholder? For me definitely Abdi and Jones and just hope that Lee returns fully fit. Hutchinson could still be useful on the squad and I doubt anyone would risk signing him now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is experienced and can do a job from the bench in certain games. Unless a buyer comes in, which I doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTacoSWFC Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Things never go quickly when various clubs are all trying to get the best deals for the same player... or the player has a few clubs after them. They will just hold out to see what deal they can get. Probably will start to see some activity towards then end of the window, it's just bloody boring.

Jones has had his taste of the big time, earned his money and if his chances are limited, surely it's all about enjoyment at his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me he makes life hard for himself when being pressed by invariably pushing the ball to his right thereby meaning he closes himself off and can only go backwards with his next pass.

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I think we will ship out as many of the older end as we can get out Our new manager seems to favour the young and hungry, rather than the 'been there and done it's' And I'm all in favour of this It's easier to get behind a youngster trying his best, than a seasoned professional who looks like he's going through the motions Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.
