Cahill would be brilliant, although his wages would be hugely prohibitive That’s a problem Derby overcame with Rooney though We need a player like that. A Trevor Francis or viv anderson. They make a massive difference in the dressing room. Cahill is an Owl, another year at palace mid table or come here and be part of something longer term.

I can remember that I read somewhere, that they managed to offset the deal somehow Maybe he’s owned by the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don’t think Cahill will be that fussed about the money. We can offer him a route into coaching. Skipper for next 2 years as a player, give him time off to take badges, guaranteed coaching job in 2022 when he finishes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new senior player to become captain, who has been there and seen it. We have lost so much more than a defender since Loovens left. The big man had played champions league football, played in la liga defending against Messi and Ronaldo, played in cup finals. And was so good on the pitch in times when we were up against it. I would go all out to get Gary Cahill, to give us a season or two followed by a guaranteed coaching job. He would transform the dressing room and be that figure that the younger players could look up to. he doesn’t need any more dosh and would be a rolls Royce at this level. That would be some signing for us. If we have the cash that’d be a no brainier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philb125 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Cahill on 100k per week, playing a crucial part in the premiership is going to come to Us? I mean I know some of us wear rose tinted glasses but if that’s the level of player you’re expecting maybe take up a new hobby like fishing and give the football a miss for a bit?

Cahill would be amazing but I think his ability to earn big money in the premier league would outweigh playing for us on 15k a week. Loovens was meant to be keen to get involved in recruiting, heirarchy type roles. I wonder if he would be someone who could come in and work with a manager as some clubs like Everton and Southampton have done to establish an ID and a manager then fits with that. Loovens working in recruitment or a DOF role is left field but he would have the technical background from Feyenoord but fully understands the physical requirements of England too.

Owls-Fan Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 John Terry as manager and Cahill as captain would be interesting. With Drogba upfront and some of the Chelsea pensioners in midfield. We can dream 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shezza Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Bringing Loovens back in some capacity is a good shout. Experienced, got good leadership qualities. I doubt Monk would appreciate anything like that, though. Too sulky and insecure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradowl Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Callum Roberts at Notts County looks a tidy player, he's just scored a wonderful goal in play offs against Barnet. Still only 23, came through Newcastle academy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offered a solidity when the winger in front of him didn’t leave him out to dry. Added goals and, had a decent delivery. More than capable at this level IMO and, he’ll do well with Stoke. Full back yet again has to be the position we nail first. We’re woefully short. I’d like us to look at Calvin Verdonk. Young Dutch fullback out of contract, no real gamble involved as wages would be minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knows what the clubs all about, knows the Chairman and has the respect of both players and supporters. I’m doubtful whether he could work with Monk though?

Personally I’m quite excited about seeing what Penney can do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
