edprice1984 Posted 7 August, 2017 Share Posted 7 August, 2017 I wouldn't say no to Barkley, but I would be looking for a season long loan with an option to buy. How many years left on his contract? Can't really see it happening, especially if we are already in for Lemina. Almeida is an excellent player and obviously we are looking at succession planning ahead of a departure next summer.

eddie Posted 7 August, 2017 Share Posted 7 August, 2017 I suppose the fullback rumours are nonsense. However, it were true... I thought for some time about how Cedric would do a winger/RM. He started his career there originally. Pied seems a lot stronger and I can't see Cedric getting a lot of game time if Pied plays at his best.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 7 August, 2017 Share Posted 7 August, 2017 Just going to leave this here... JWP is better than Barkley. **** me, Monday afternoon & you're tanked up already. Barclay looks like a typical West Ham signing to me. If I was him I'd lower my demands and try & get into Spurs. There seemed to be a little bit of interest there. Telling that absolutely nobody gets seriously linked with JWP isn't it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess what I'm trying to say is either way I'd be interested to see Cedric have some time further up the field. It would be quite useful if we knew he could also cover for RM.

pimpin4rizeal Posted 7 August, 2017 Share Posted 7 August, 2017 *Fingers-crossed* (Needs a slightly better source for me to get excited though) not sure its worth it for a one year loan deal, we are already in a position where one of boufal redmond etc will probably be on the bench, makes more sense to develop these two then roberts for city.

It only makes sense to buy or have the option to buy Roberts, Saints since returning to the Premier League haven't spend their time developing under 21s for other clubs. I doubt they are going to start now they are an established top 8 team. Get (ex Celtic man) Forster to call him and recommend Saints to him Forster left Celtic in 2014 Roberts joined Celtic in 2016 They possibly have never met each other.

benjii Posted 7 August, 2017 Share Posted 7 August, 2017 Didn't realise Gibson was still at Boro. Thought he'd moved for some reason. Worth signing? Be nice to get someone with a bit of experience under their belt even if just one season. Think he'd do alright here. Seems like a reasonable option to get now and then take longer to get another CB once we have the VVD money, even if it's in January or next summer. Never been very impressed with him myself but I bet he's not a complete **** so would be upgrade in some respects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 7 August, 2017 Share Posted 7 August, 2017 So, who have we concretely been linked with this summer at centre back? Hoedt, for one. Wimmer? de Vrij? Trying to separate the rumour from the fact. I guess Hoedt is the one we've most recently been linked with. I still believe we only need one new centre back, partnering Stephens or Yoshida, but I understand why people think we need 2.

qwertyell Posted 7 August, 2017 Share Posted 7 August, 2017 Gibson is another Roger Johnson - looked okay in an ultra defensive set up, but totally at sea in any tactics more ambitious than playing for a grim, backs to the wall 0-0 draw. He's not quick, particularly strong in the air or good on the deck. £30 million? If anyone pays even a third of that, they will have been royally had.

Dusic Posted 7 August, 2017 Share Posted 7 August, 2017 The likes of Wimmer and Gibson at those quoted prices would be poor buys IMO. But quite possibly having Bednarek starting on Saturday shows we haven't handled our CB situation well since the day we let Fonte leaving before securing a replacement.

woodsaint Posted 7 August, 2017 Share Posted 7 August, 2017 http://sqwk.at/VanDijks Good article on possible replacements should we let VVD leave.
