[SkyBlueBarmy84]

Woolfen done

No, it’s all one word: Woolfenden

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Woolfen done

I hope your new source is right Saddle. Really need a CB in and I think the Woolf fits us well

 

[Matt smith]

Who’s the forward @Saddlebrains

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Woolfen done

Have you heard whether we’re still in for Hughes?

 

[Mcbean]

It does the day before the window shuts

Let’s wait and see - nothing yet

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Woolfen done

If we get Boving too

 

[Saddlebrains]

Who’s the forward @Saddlebrains

Still no name mate

 

[Saddlebrains]

Have you heard whether we’re still in for Hughes?

Hes under the impression we've sacked Hughes off

 

[procdoc]

Appears we are not in the running for the Bøvmeister general

 

[Cally Fedora]

Woolfenden is the right call for me. Hughes is too expensive for his ability. Will be interesting to see if we get a forward bearing in mind that we haven’t lost any. I assume there will only be an in if Bassette goes the other way.

 

[Grimetime]

CD player?

(We need one of those)

I thought our Seedy Player era ended with Marlon King?

 

[procdoc]

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

how’s the little one BSB

Very big fella not quite getting what he wants milk wise.

 

[procdoc]

Not sure about Woolfy the more I read about him

I’m no expert m8 but give the wife a try

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

You'll always get a couple people say he's crap, but I've also read fans on their forum rate him highly, just peoples opinions

 

[jas365]

Boooooooooo

 

[Kingokings204]

Is woolfenden any good? Any one followed him?
Also any talk of fee?

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Hes under the impression we've sacked Hughes off

Shame - could have done with 2 new centre backs

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Right assuming our starting X1 is the team that started yesterday.

We have 9 subs.
Named yesterday.
Wilson
Allen
Raphael
Brau
Bidwell
Kesler
Simms
Sheaf
Sakamoto.

Once Eccles, Woolfenden ( or another) and Lats make it on bench.

Whos not making the bench?

Think we may see a left back leaving...Bidwell and I reckon MVE.

We dont need 3 left backs maybe even Jamie Allen. As Eccles is almost fit.

 

[Deity]

The Woolf isn’t our primary CH target t Hughes.

the club wanted both.

Hughes to come straight in to the team, Woolf to provide competition …

we may only get The Woolf but don’t expect him to come in and be a class above Thomas and Kitch.

 

[procdoc]

We need to go all in on Hughes else our defence won’t have been improved

Assuming everyone is fit and we sign 2 more players who obviously at least make a matchday squad, I think Allen, Bidwell, Lati, Rapha all miss out.
I think my maths is ok with that.

 

[quinn1971]

Not sure about Woolfy the more I read about him

but he played nearly every game the season they got promoted , he’s a quality championship centre half with prem experience, if your unhappy about a signing like that then ?

I say this as a Thomas fan but I think Woolf comes in for him. I've changed my mind, I think Kitching has been the more solid of the 2.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

I'm not sure about Woolfenden at all. I think it's always a risk bringing in a player who has only ever played at one club for such a large proportion of his career, especially when that club seemingly had a massive level of overperformance more than the sum of it's parts in that time. Just hope we're not falling into a bit of a trap of 'well he's got promoted out of this league before, he must be a top centre back at this level'.

Ultimately though time will tell and I'll certainly give him more than 4 games () before making any sort of judgement.

 

[Kingokings204]

the truth of course is both Thomas and kitching are decent CBs but neither are brilliant.

 

[procdoc]

I’ll judge him when he plays for us, but I don’t like their fans saying he’s not very good at defending set pieces when we are already hopeless at it

His stats show he’s decent on the ball but average defensively. I get that both come at a premium but I don’t see him doing a great deal to change our defensive problems.

Really ? if we’d of signed him the season they went up it would of been a brilliant signing, we’re getting the same player only with more experienc, brilliant signing

We haven’t signed him

 

[Saddlebrains]

I think those seemingly disappointed in Woolfenden because they want Hughes need a reality check

Hughes is a great player, but he isnt worth the 15 million quid Hull wanted to let him go. Woolfenden is a third of that price, was a mainstay of a side that got promoted from this league, and is an upgrade on both Thomas and Kitching

What more do people want?

 

[Londonccfcfan]

They conceded alot of goals the year they went up for an automatic promoted team.

look what our fans said about o hare, quality signing, exactly what we need cover at centre half
