Swift is a really good player with 100 + games at this level to his name. But I'm not sure we can afford him in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 8 hours ago, Owls77 said: Fair comment..... I just think we need to strengthen other areas! Left Back, Wide areas and Centre back! Totally disagree. Loads of options for full back. Odubajo, Palmer, Iorfa, Baker, Fox, Penney and supposedly even Börner can play there. As for wingers, I agree we are short but again we have five possible options; Reach, Harris, Joao, Forestieri, Penney. However, in central midfield we only have 4 players yet we are starting three of them. Add to the fact that Lee and Hutch are made of glass, then this is the position we MUST fill. We may also need a keeper too with Wildsmith’s injury and Westwood’s suspension. Of course if we can bring in a third player, it would then be a winger for me.

jonesy87shef Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Approaching 500 pages and yet to pay a fee for a player. I gave up reading around page 150. Have we been linked with anyone else or is it just Rasiak & Ben Marshall jokes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not sure we can afford him in any case. They wouldn’t sell unless it was big big money - he’s there best player and they would definitely go down if they let him go. I personally think that we need a physical presence in midfield who can play in a conventional central midfield 2 assuming we want to go with a different formation.

WalthamOwl Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Nixon saying he has heard Chelsea want 4-5 million for Hector. Like I’ve said I just think it’s to much for us to spend, not necessarily because he isn’t worth it but because we have just come out of the embargo and that is a crazy amount to spend on one player.

sheriwozgod Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Notice Ryan Woods seems to be getting marginalised at Stoke under the new manager................now that would be a very good loan move if we could make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Just now, jack whitham said: Not if we can move some out and balance the books. We don’t seem to be very good at doing that though! I would prefer us to spend the money on 2-3 players rather than lump it on 1 player if we are wanting to spend 4 or 5 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarn owl Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 So 3 days left. Surely will only be loan deals now this close to the end of the window and with no permanent manager. Anyone except Hector out there that would make sense? Wingers? left backs? centre mid? It makes little sense not to bolster the squad numbers and use the loans we have available. Even if not starters just people who can cover and play cup games etc to give people a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be worth double that if he played a full season with us. Got to invest in these types and rid ourselves of the Rhodes,Fox, Van Aken types who have next to no profit in them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Hector, it would be loans for me anyway You get better quality than we could hope to buy, and we want pace, energy and guile, the attributes normally found in young Premier League players.
