Just reading on The DE site that Forest have enquired about Smallbone. Probably old news but hadn't seen it posted when I flicked through here.
Dman Posted 31 May, 2022 Posted 31 May, 2022 I like Winks, he’s a tidy player, although he’s all too similar to JWP and Diallo And I’m not sure he’s a huge upgrade on Diallo, so for that reason I’d pass on him, unless we plan on selling JWP. Pope… very good keeper, but I can’t see us signing him. Firstly because he’ll be bloody expensive and secondly because he wouldn’t suit the style in which we want to play.

Dusic Posted 31 May, 2022 Posted 31 May, 2022 (edited) If we could get rid of Walcott, Djenepo and Elyounoussi that would surely give room for some good additions in the #10 role. But with a year left he isnt going to take a pay cut and a subsidised loan isnt really worth it for us. Edited 31 May, 2022 by Dusic
saintrich Posted 31 May, 2022 Posted 31 May, 2022 1 hour ago, SaintBitterne said: Pope to Saints odds slashed this morning on Skybet No official word from the Vatican mind... I thought Pope would end up at West Ham, but they're apparently going to make Areola permanent for €9m. If Newcastle are getting Dean Henderson then I guess it would be an easy assumption to suggest he might end up here. I don't think he would be top of Ralph's list though.
DT Posted 31 May, 2022 Posted 31 May, 2022 Wouldn't be unhappy with Pope. And without the chuckle brothers as coaches he might even improve. 2 1
Dusic Posted 31 May, 2022 Posted 31 May, 2022 (edited) No way we are going to be spending what Burnley want for Pope. May as well have just kept Forster if we went down that route. Edited 31 May, 2022 by Dusic
Suhari Posted 31 May, 2022 Posted 31 May, 2022 Maybe we should hire Burnley's goalkeeping coach? They do seem good at developing keepers.

I mean sure he'd get to play in six CL games before they get knocked out but the rest of the year he'd be playing in the Turkish League. He made 30 PL appearances for us this season and did okay.

It certainly would. History shows us it's not that easy. I wonder if the Theo/MLS rumour has any legs to it, though?
FarehamSaintJames Posted 31 May, 2022 Posted 31 May, 2022 Walcott going to the MLS would be nice for one final pay day. Djenepo is pants, we’ll be lucky to get a loan even partially subsidised for him for his final year of contract. Ely I think we’ll get around £5m, probably not much more. In regards to GK’s Nick Pope might want to stay up north and I imagine he’ll have his sights set on a club either on the up or who finished in a reasonable position in the table. We are neither. 1

I like Winks, what he lacks is the same as the most of our players, consistency. He's brilliant a couple of games a season and woeful for a couple of games a season and the rest of the time he floats between the two.

You wonder why Forest would be considering him, but equally, with two years left on is contract doesn't feel like an agent placed story either. 1
Bad Wolf Posted 31 May, 2022 Posted 31 May, 2022 Crawley could appoint a woman as their new manager. There's literally no reason why female managers managing men's teams can't work. The problem is, it needs to be a long term commitment to do this. Look at the way that managers are turned on so quickly now a days as soon as the slightest thing goes wrong and so as soon as something goes wrong it'll be "GET HER OUT, WOMEN CAN'T BE MANAGERS" etc.
Bad Wolf Posted 31 May, 2022 Posted 31 May, 2022 Pope would be an amazing signing! Not young I know but prime age for a keeper. 1

SNSUN Posted 31 May, 2022 Posted 31 May, 2022 Not sure about Winks. It's not like he's young anymore and hasn't ever achieved much. I wonder if he's the JWP replacement for when he leaves... 😛 Seriously I'd rather we took Kouyate on a free from Palace for a season or two as he offers more presence in midfield. I like the Pope link. He's not perfect but he's better than we have and surely would relegate Alex Mac to number 2.

Not much I would have thought if he had to up sticks and move to the North and get paid probably less whilst he has a contract here The Club would then have to get in another GK to replace him Not a good idea I would have thought
