frastheowl Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 1 hour ago, Brad_owl said: I believe a centre back we are looking at is a premier League lad, English and mid twenties. Has played Championship. I hope that older signings are a thing of the past now. We need some energy and pace in the team. Going on that, criteria, there's not too many to choose from. Dan Burn at Brighton. 26. Just been recalled from Wigan. Ben Gibson at Burnley. 25. Missed most of this season through injury. May be a loan option. Highly unlikely however. Tyias Browing at Everton. Aged 24. Was on loan at Sunderland last season. Tyrone Mings at Bournemouth. 25. Used in only a few cameo appearances this season. Can play left back or centre half. Dominic Iorfa at Wolves. 23. Not in Premier League squad, can play right back or centre half. To be honest, long term...a back four containing Mings, Iorfa and Burn would certainly be a strong, formidable, athletic back line. All these could be available in some capacity over the next 6 months. Out of those options, Burn is the only actual centre half who I think we may be interested in. Gibson would be expensive, and maybe unavailable. Browning struggled at Sunderland last season. Burn is strong aerially and physical. He'd a cheapish, low risk loan that could well lead to a permanent transfer in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s6 owl Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Ah yes Burn plays for Brighton not Fulham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Burn or Browning are the most realistic, whereas Gibson would be a statement signing. Having said that, others are interested, Boro want to take Gibson back, Villa want Browning and Sheff Utd want Burn. Mings and Iorfa are very much full backs, who have occasionally played at centre back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rojo at Man Utd, Hoedt at Southampton and Oxford at West Ham. I think Burn would be best option but he is regularly on bench at Brighton so not sure how available he would be. Some of these have not seen a lot of so difficult to judge. Because substantial rebuilding is required I think if possible we should try and do some changes now to try and bed some in. It always takes a few games when major rebuilding and if possible we need good start next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs want players to have games so wherever a young player goes they will want him to play. I suspect some of top teams could not guarantee starts.
