On a similar note I wouldn't be surprised to see Eccles start at right wing back. Just for one game.

Think Daniel James had done pictures and an interview with Leeds in house TV crew a few years back then the deal fell through. Liverpool had the same with Fekir years back.

Andy Turner said yesterday that it wouldn't be announced yesterday so I don't think it's a hold up as such. Sounds like it was always the plan to announce today. Probably be 9pm I would bet.

I think if you'd have asked people before the World Cup if they'd have rather had Doyle or Panzo most would have said Panzo. Doyle in the 2nd half of the season benefitted from having McFadzean back and McNally.

Agree. Still plenty of room for improvement and a good character.

Latest on Panzo from Darren Witcoop from the Mirror...

Sounds to me like another two are close and could be done by the weekend after Wright. After that we still have weeks left in the window. Will still end up being 8-10 incomings as per Robins comments I reckon.

I see Bambo Diaby has gone from PNE to Sheff Weds. He was brilliant against Gyokeres last season at Deepdale.

And West Brom. Seems a lot of Championship clubs in need of a left sided centre back. Would probably add weight to us actually buying in that position if the right opportunity came up.

Same here. Or Panzo back permanently maybe.

Would love to know what research we have done on this guy. Looks so raw and cumbersome on the clips of him. The comments on him don't exactly fill me with confidence. If we were spending £2m on him I'd could maybe see it. Mind you I thought Gyokeres was an absolute carthorse on first viewings.

My favourite story from the online research I've been doing... https://sbisoccer.com/2023/05/haji-wright-booed-by-antalyaspor-fans-following-return-to-action

Looks like a poor man's Bakayoko to me

I notice a lot of Stoke fans seem to think they might be in for Panzo as well.

I note in both Andy Turner's articles today he mentions that Robins in hoping for three new additions before the weekend. In another he uses the word imminent. Would lead me to believe these three are all close.

Nothing groundbreaking here but wonder if McNally possibly going to Stoke might clear the way for us to get Humphreys on loan...

See a Romanian football account on twitter describe Dragus as lazy and not an easy character to deal with. Personally from the clips I've seen he doesn't remotely look like a striker. More a midfielder. Can't say I'm desperate for this one to go through.

How did Styles do at Millwall? Didn't he play left wingback quite a bit? Thought they had an option on him for £4m

Got the impression Sibley would have been the O'Hare replacement and Max Bird would have been the Gus replacement last summer if either had gone.
