SaintsFan86 Posted 2 July, 2024 Posted 2 July, 2024 Club is close to signing Ronnie Edwards and Nathan Woods.
hypochondriac Posted 2 July, 2024 Posted 2 July, 2024 Good to see us looking to remodel our defence which was probably our weakest area last season. Shame we don't seem to be getting a keeper though.
Saint Matty 76 Posted 2 July, 2024 Posted 2 July, 2024 Saints believe they are close to signing both Ronnie Edwards, 21, and Nathan Wood, 22, on permanent deals. Told initial fees as low as £3million each - which is an absolute bargain. Have to assume there's some other stuff in there too. What the fuck? From Alfie. 2

SaintsFan86 Posted 2 July, 2024 Posted 2 July, 2024 Wow Saints, That is incredibly shrewd. I really wanted Edwards, but both for 6Million is ridiculous value. 2
FarehamSaintJames Posted 2 July, 2024 Posted 2 July, 2024 Underwhelming on paper but I don’t care as long as they’re competent and up to it. Definitely players that could prove to have a higher ceiling should they have that mentality. Regarding the youth players going, it’s nothing new, it’s uninteresting, they’ve gone for a pay day, if they think they’re likely to walk into a starting team by going to a big club early then they must be deluded. Also well don’t to the club for standing their ground and saying “you aren’t worth that”. We shouldn’t be taken for mugs. (See Jimmy-Jay Morgan - I see he’s a Chelsea regularly now he earns £10-20K a week. 2

hypochondriac Posted 2 July, 2024 Posted 2 July, 2024 It's a shame about the youth players but if they do well they are still a product of our academy that we can market to other prospects.
S-Clarke Posted 2 July, 2024 Posted 2 July, 2024 (edited) I thought it was Woods or Ronnie Edwards, not both. That would be THB, Edwards, Bednarek, Stephens, Woods - got to assume we're losing one of our regulars? Bednarek only has a year left, so the last time to cash in if he won't sign. Stephens is also in the same boat with a year left - although there may be an option to execute in there. Edwards is a very, very talented CB by the way. Very highly rated, very good on the ball and incredibly mature for his age. I watched a fair bit of him a year or so ago as I knew someone who was a Posh fan and at that level he stood out like gold, proper rolls Royce. Getting two EU21 CB's for under £10m is unreal business by the club if it's true. Edited 2 July, 2024 by S-Clarke 3

I thought that Nathan Wood was absoultely shite when I saw him last season, but really excited about Edwards. Exactly the sort of profile we should be looking at. I do hope we're not replacing someone like Bednerak, with these 2 though - bednerak has his limitations, but was solid last season and is vastly more experienced... it would be a massive risk. 8

woodsaint1 Posted 2 July, 2024 Posted 2 July, 2024 If Bednarek is staying then the addition of Edwards and Wood (with ABK, Lyanco and DCC leaving) is probably an indication that we'll be employing 3 CBs regularly this season. Would have preferred Edwards or Wood with a more experienced CB signing also, but in RM and the club we trust 1

SNSUN Posted 2 July, 2024 Posted 2 July, 2024 Edwards is a decent bit of business for the future, has been quite sought after by Prem clubs and is very highly rated. Both him and Wood will be “gambles” as the Premier League goes but Edwards in particular is one worth taking. With THB that’s 3 young, English CBs on board this summer. Add Stephens for leadership/experience and the only question mark is over the future of Bednarek - I hope he stays but I can understand the club wanting to cash in if he doesn’t sign a new contract, and if he doesn’t there’s every possibility we could bring in a 4th new CB. A complete rebuild of the CB department is well underway it seems. 2

FarehamSaintJames Posted 2 July, 2024 Posted 2 July, 2024 Nice to see were reacting early in the window, all goes to pot though if we lose 6-0 on the opening day.
northam soul Posted 2 July, 2024 Posted 2 July, 2024 Seems we still want a RB either Suga what’s his name or the Bournemouth chap. We definitely need Downes or equivalent plus an attacking number 10 type and a forward. At least four more to make us a little bit competitive I think ideally another midfielder and a wide player on top. KWP, Lyanco, DCC, Tall Paul, Lis out the door so we won’t be winning a net spend title this year I wouldn’t of thought.

Can't say I've ever seen him so I can't comment but seem to recall you went mental for Caleta Car and he was a bit shit. He may well be fantastic (and I hope he is) but the YouTube videos don't really look exceptional in any way. Obviously not the best way to judge a player but if anything YouTube tends to make players look better than they actually are.
Suhari Posted 2 July, 2024 Posted 2 July, 2024 These young CBs are all well and good for the SR player trading game, but are they really improving the team? Not sure how both of them align with the previous links to Rondon and the Liverpool guy, who are (presumably) both more of a 'ready now ' profile. So surely we're getting another, first choice CB. I'm expecting too much, aren't I? 2

S-Clarke Posted 2 July, 2024 Posted 2 July, 2024 (edited) Couple of comments on Ronnie Edwards from posh fans: Quote Well done to the lad. Definitely one of the most calm and skilful centre backs we have had at Posh. Quote Probably the most skillful centre half we have ever had, its been a pleasure to watch him develop, but its time for him to go onwards and upwards. He's absolutley spot on for what we do in terms of playing out from the back. A very good passer. Spurs and Brighton have been very keen as well. Edited 2 July, 2024 by S-Clarke 2

I was going to say that perhaps it's just that CBs never look that great. However, the George Nevitt (Rochdale 18 year old centre back we were linked to) looked the dogs bollocks on tape.

Pretty terrible picks all in there. How many left backs do you think we need?? I'd take Jack Clarke, but I think we'd have to spend £20-25m for him and that's just too expensive when we have other areas more important. 1
