Medrurkin Posted 17 April, 2022 Share Posted 17 April, 2022 On 15/04/2022 at 09:42, HarvSFC said: Yep, although still raw definitely one for the future. Think he will need a season of bedding in up here, rather than being an instant star. Reminds me of Jay Rodriguez when he first joined. At the moment Stuart Armstrong and Broja are our only ball carriers and there's no guarantee that Broja will be here next season, he probably isn't going to be. Johnson provides that and incredible pace, which again I feel we've been lacking since Mane. Would certainly fill a few gaps in our team. Now, we just need Forest to stay down, poach their attacker... and their manager? Tellah is fast, the young lad Wilson was at Liverpool, James now at Leeds is fast. Not really a key criteria unless they have the goalscoring knack. Of the 3 named, only James comes anywhere near, but they mostly comes across as willing runners. We've got plenty of those.

Saint_lambden Posted 18 April, 2022 Share Posted 18 April, 2022 (edited) We should be all over Lewis O'Brien from Huddersfield. £12m release clause and one of the best midfielders in the Championship. Superb tackler, composed on the ball and a great dribbler. Making Middlesbrough look very, very average right now.

The Cat Posted 18 April, 2022 Share Posted 18 April, 2022 Dragowski is decent although not adverse to the odd cock up. However that won't be a problem for our fans because they seemingly now believe Forster is the reincarnation of Lev Yashin despite flapping at a cross against Leeds 3 games ago and costing us a goal. Dragowski was injured for ages this season, came back, got himself sent off and has barely played since. I don't know why that is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A GK, CB, Winger and ST needed. I'd like another option for Romeu too but it doesn't seem likely we'll have the wiggle room. It does look like he was injured until the start of this year and he’s lost his place in the meantime. I think I’d be happy to sign him, potential to improve which suits our transfer policy. Not sure we can attract much better with our expected transfer budget (unless our new owners surprise us this summer). I’m sure we would all prefer to sign a keeper like Henderson but with a £40m asking price being thrown around in the papers this week, that’s not our space.

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 18 April, 2022 Share Posted 18 April, 2022 1 hour ago, DT said: We seem to be stuck on the page about goalkeepers with Bart in their name Saints welcome Bart Simpson to the club. While some fans voiced their concerns regarding having a fictional, cartoon character, between the sticks, the club were keen to promote their innovative transfer policy. "We're proud to bring in Bart to further strengthen Fred Flintstone in defence. Our thinking outside both the box, and our reality, will continue to bring value to the club." The club refused to be drawn on rumours of advanced negotiations with Melchester Rovers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 18 April, 2022 Share Posted 18 April, 2022 Jasper Cillessen from Valencia could be worth a shout. Went from Ajax to Barcelona but they also had Ter Stegaen so he barely played. Now at Valencia but was out for a while this season and just made it back on to the bench. 32, so not young but maybe we need some experience at the back because the rest of the defence has an average age of about 17. Doubt he'd cost much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellman Posted 18 April, 2022 Share Posted 18 April, 2022 I don't expect any big signing and they are often a disappointment anyway. If we can pick up two youngsters of the quality of Lyanco, Livramento or Bojra I will be happy. The recruitment has been excellent recently. I would love to see a confident young goaly controlling the box and inspiring defence and fans. We could head for a Euro place next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they would be out of our reach, but I wonder if we could use A Armstrong as part of the deal to make it more affordable. proven championship striker so would be ideal for a relegated side.

Could be one something in this Have seen his name mentioned before, and generally good articles about him, linked with bigger clubs (Dortmund last summer for example). Bit of a ‘headcase’ as well. looks to be in our ideal age range (24). Other GK’s mentioned in the last couple of years, or just on here: Strakosha (Lazio) - also linked with bigger clubs, incl Newcastle and their Arab funds Rajkovic (Reims) Lafont (Nantes) Siegrist (Dundee Utd), now 30 so less likely. probably none of them then.

Good option to have though if we can afford him on the bench.
