Dr Who? Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) Lazy journalism still linking us to JWP. I doubt the club are even entertaining the idea. Left at the start of RM career with us, doubt he is interested Edited August 30 by Dr Who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Scott Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Ramsdale all but done. Cornet pending with Fab and ExWHUEmployee saying we've won the race Still fancy a forward to join from no where later on, an interesting day to come. Hope we can keep hold of Kyle too, but can see Villa coming in for him after Cash got injured last weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It absolutely goes against the grain but right now i would be delighted if we announced INGS! Don't forget, Ross '2 weeks' Stewart is only 2 weeks away from seeing the grass. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 35 minutes ago, Give it to Ron said: Birmingham after Stansfield for 9-10m think he will be great there . He scored great goal against us and looked good but too similar to Archer for that money? He was my pick had we stayed down, good player - would be a fun one to develop, similar to Jay Rod. Not good enough for where we are now though. But he's way better than L1, obviously will be the highest paid player in L1 too. Should score stacks of goals, Birmingham would have failed miserably this season if they don't hit 100+ points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right but that would mean leaving out one of Downes, Big Les and Fernandez. I don't think it would take many games before the fans would be questioning why JWP was starting and I get that he was a great servant for us. Just don't think he's be a starter for us with our present options as he's too much of a safe ball recycler which is the last thing we need right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenilworthy Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Cornet could be a great signing if he is anything like he was for Burnley against us, when he was Antonio levels of unplayable.

Hopper Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Happy to be moving on from JWP. Great servant, club legend but we’re building something for the future here. I was always tought by a mentor of mine to always move forward in my career even if the opportunity to go back to something familiar presented itself. I think it’s good for the club to do the same thing. Small exception for Lallana given where he is in his career and the coaching aspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 2 hours ago, The Realist said: I don't understand the link between Cornet coming in as a replacement for KWP. Cornet played as a winger or straight up top for Burnley (as he did when scoring thohse goals against Saints). So why are people saying that he is left wing back? He is not a defender of any kind in my books. He covers LWB. If KWP goes, Taylor is your LB/LWB and Manning your reserve. Cornet gives cover at LWB in the same way the wee man did. KWP is replaced at RB/RWB with Bree the reserve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's already proven he's more than capable in the Turkish league 2. It gets him off our wage bill 3. And obviously most importantly, it sticks both fingers up at Trabzonspor for being such smug twats, by not only not giving them the player for cheap, but by actively loaning to a club they'll play against this season. Good post. And couldn't Goztepe give us a massive loan fee to help with FFP? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take him on loan if I were them, can't see them buying him though The Chelsea squad situation is intriguing, they've got 4 senior international players there, on probably £500k a week between them who have been told they won't play a min if they don't leave (they won't even be registered). Sterling, Chalobah, Chilwell, Fofana, Broja - Broja will probably end up staying as he's injured again. Sterling, Chilwell and Chalobah have to leave though, surely? Fofana is worth a punt for a top champ club. Edited August 30 by S-Clarke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopper Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 The Ramsdale signing feels like a real statement of intent from Russ. I know he was very quick to defend Gav last season but I truly believe it's because he was the best we had. Not because he was his first choice. Remembering Bazunu was brought in prior to Russ's appointment I thnk this speaks volumes about his true opinion on the matter. If he felt Gav was a nailed on number 1 we wouldn't have aimed quite so high on bringing in a replacement. Nor permanently. I think this is going to go down as one of the best bits of business we've done for the longterm future of the club in over 10 years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
