Bluesteel Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I get the age references to past issues in the transfer market but sometimes if you want an older player anywhere it is at centre half. They can play for longer and it is that experience that helps as we saw with Loovens in his early 30s. A cheaper and younger option to flint would be Sonny Bradley at Luton. He’s from East Yorkshire and is a very similar player to flint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Potentially a massive week coming up. So important we get at least a couple more players in to give ourselves a chance of getting out of this mess. Personally hope we have moved on from Zohore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look through our normal starting XI. Lees, Iorfa, Palmer, Reach, Luongo, BB, Harris, Windass. All experienced Championship pro’s. I might have missed a couple too. We need a couple of fast, raw young uns in there. Unknowns to the opposition as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Flint is like the new ALF to many on here. Never been a particularly good defender, always prone to errors and nowhere near as good as some think 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been a particularly good defender, always prone to errors and nowhere near as good as some think ALF went on to be pretty good at this level and scored goals in the league above despite being unfancied by many. So if Aden Flint who has been at the top half of this division for the most part of his career joined a side bottom of the league it would be a good coup. Im not sure you rate anyone other than Joao these days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldishowl Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Remember how Kieran Lee waltzed past him in injury time to score the winner in the rain against Bristol City Like most players, good and bad points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Keep seeing us linked with CBs but not sure why. I know we had a few injuries last game but we’ve got Iorfa/Palmer Lees/Dunkley JVA/Borner plus Shaw and Brennan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick70 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 He’s an old fashioned cb that as his limitations that is why he never gone higher than championship, but I’d know I’d rather have him defending especially in last 20 mins when we seem to concede rather than van aken borner and co ? Think him iorfa Dunkley / lees ( if we keep hold of iorfa fingers x) very solid at this level! Already think zohore will arrive here when we finished arguing over who paying wot ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the Van Aken or Borner option is the side we’ve been undone a little so far. We definitely need one more CB if we are to persist with 3 at the back throughout the season. Sanderson at Cardiff would be ideal for his versatility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iorfa, Lees and Dunkley would be first choice. Shaw should be a midfielder really. There is a nagging feeling that Flint is lined up should someone come in for Iorfa though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have been contracted to us for four seasons now and I’m not talking about Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer Edited October 11, 2020 by Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was thrown in the deep end here and it ruined him, or the Derby did! Pelupessy is just a steady player and probably a good trainer. Definition of a safe and probably cheap shirt filler. It’s the lack of contribution from others that has been our downfall IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Monk on the official site Iorfa had a tight hamstring prior to QPR game so couldn’t risk playing. So not a pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) We need to add quality now, we’ve signed enough players who can run, jump, throw, and head a ball Now we need some more players who know how to control and pass one Edited October 11, 2020 by gurujuan 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to loan in the extra quality we need, like Hector and Murphy in recent seasons. The best loanees will join parachute payment clubs or clubs with a chance of top 6. More loanees or a shrewd bargain like Iorfa are our best way of surviving and more players with potential and resale value, are our only chance of progressing on and off the pitch as a club.

Iorfa Lees Dunkley is pretty decent. The rest are pretty decent cover options. We can’t afford to just keep stock piling players again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
