hcdajfu in the Championship

What premier league player is going to drop down to the championship to join our project

It was a little different when we were huge club in league one  with potential and money to go up premier .. by being a big club in championship

we don't have that carrot..

We also need to get out of the championship.. 

it's not a foregone conclusion we are going straight back up.. 

Sainz is pushing premier and Sargent would be ok back up in the premier. 

We need to a bit realistic.. can't see anyone regular prem joining us in the championship. Only gamble youngsters or players at the end of their prem time.

Loans are an excellent way but very short term and if they were nailed on premier league players they wouldn't be loaned out..

We were very interested previously, wonder if we'll go back. Not ready for prem yet, but would be worth doing it at a top level in the Championship again. If Sheffield Utd dont go up I imagine he'd go there for another season. 

if they do go up they will try to buy him.

of course no PL regular is joining us in the championship, but if we can get another Brooks on loan that would be ideal. There are lots of talented youngsters that can't get a game in the PL. We should know all of them pretty well. Getting them is not easy.

Everton have a shedful who are out of contract, inc Dacoure and Gana. Tough, streetwise and decent midfielders.

i wonder if foreign players like those two, perhaps pretty well known outside of the uk, will get top flight gigs abroad rather than have to drop down a division?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

On the mention of loan players and getting them sometimes being difficult, I was thinking of the clubs that like to charge lots for the loan, thinking more about their coffers than the player's development at times.

Then I thought we'd be due a link to Brandon Williams.

Or not...

I'd be alright with keeping Stephens in the squad and then binning him once we get promotion. Quite a few of these players will be more than good enough for the championship just not good enough for the league above and that's fine. 

This has to be a joke, right? Always goes missing when needed.

Missing in games, or suspended? Or am I pulling, sorry splitting, am I splitting hairs here? 🙂

Both, to be honest, but mainly during games. He has a talent for marking space.

I thought you meant that. But I wasn't passing up a chance to mention the hair pulling. 🙂

Shea is the POTS for owls, but his bro is has stepped up and so has a blast from the past Jan Valery.

 Owl vs middlesbrough

P. Charles: 9.5 (mom)

Valery:  8

S. Charles: 8.5

Not quite POTS candidate yet but Valery has been impressive as well, suits Rohls system

 

S Charles was very good but my MOM was Valery in his hybrid role he was outstanding.

but what a cracking game he had Valery's man marking of Azaz quietened the opponent's most

Some very good performances - both Charles brothers especially but thought Valery, Musaba and Smith all played well

im sure you are right

I know he's not popular with everyone on here but could a returning Che Adams do a good job for us in the championship? I rate his qualities and determination at holding the ball up in midfield and he is capable of a wonder strike or two, yes he misses some sitters but don't they all! certainly a better option than AA or Archer I feel

I'd have him back without a 2nd thought, but I think that ship has sailed. We would have been a much stronger proposition this year in the PL if we had managed to retain him. For me, his strengths have always far outweighed his lack of finishing prowess.

I found this which got me thinking about him and he has done fairly well at torino https://saintsmarching.com/southampton-realize-complicated-solution-to-seal-necessary-striker-return

[Rebel]

So which premier league players could we got on loan or should we go for?  Am I right in thinking we are allowed 5 loan players from premier league clubs?

Jaysun Rak-Sakyi?

Sam Iling-Junior?

Luis Guilherme?

Armand Broja?

Callum Doyle?

I dont think Che is the answer. There must someone fresher and hungrier that is big and strong, with a bit of pace we can find.

Any ideas who? We need players that are proven in the championship we can't afford more punts and gambles that turn out to be duds as seems to be the way with us!

I like the look of Ivanovic at Millwall. Powwerful, big unit and scores goals, against the Skates as well !

Not my remit, but I did pick Ivan Toney when he was at Peterborough, nobody I can think as a standout. Che is ok, but he wasnt wonderful. It will depend on the style of manager we choose of course. May as well go for Carlton Morris as he would be cheaper than Che I suspect

Unfortunately, Morris has only scored 8 goals in the Championship this season. Not enough to take a punt on for me.

What about looking at League 1 players. We don't need too much individual brilliance as our squad should be good enough to create the chances. We just need someone who doesnt miss the target too often. Charlie Kelman has proved he can do that this season, playing in a not brilliant Orient side, and still getting 21 goals to push them into the play offs...

He is contracted to a Championship team.

Looks like Shedeur Sanders is going to be left un drafted, if we can find a role for him.

While he is, Middlewordie's post easily applies to players currently playing in League 1. 

While he's played for QPR across recent seasons, the majority of Kelman's games have been on loan in leagues 1 and 2.

Any reasonable poster would see that Matt. You're 0 for 2 this morning. Following yesterday's 0 in dozens of posts, it's maybe a good time to pause and think.
