Doyle was at Sunderland last season. Played CB there I think, not sure he particularly stood out but did get 36 games under his belt in mens football. He was a key player for the England U19 side that won the Euros this summer. Played more as LB/LWB I think.

Might be bollocks but was reported in the S*n Either way he'd be playing for a team in a top league and have a chance to test himself in Europe competition https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/18606126/chelsea-ian-maatsen-transfer-borussia-dortmund-loan/

Would love to be wrong but cant see that happening. He was nearly joined Dortmund so Id imagine he sees himself at a higher level

I recon from SBBs comments Panzo makes sense Who do we recon the player from "top premiership club" is? Callum Doyle at Man City plays both positions, probably due a season in the championship Alvaro Fernandez would fit the bill

No, he is our only 1st team LWB. gonna need another. @Skybluebeliever said two left sided defenders not two LWBs so probably means we are also chasing a LCB to replace JCS

We won't get Maatsen so it is all hypothetical.. but if he was available at a cut price I think SISU would find the cash. They are trying to run the club within its means so the club is cash short with assets ties up in key players. That said they are an investment fund and would act on...

Blimey wouldn't have thought he'd have the temperament for that job

Take that with a ladle of salt. Robins never show his hand, we are short on funds no doubt but he isnt going to say anything other than the absolute minimum to abate the mad fans. we clearly have funds put aside for decent wages or we wouldn't have chased JCS.

Yeah but don't you have the feeling that is probably bollocks. Yeah the "ITK" have said funds will be tight but how much of the inner financing plans can the they really know. SISU are a hedge fund they need to keep the buy lower than you sell model churning, there will definitely be re...

oof poor bloke

but thats how it works, we cant reinvest the entire sum on new players. we have overheads to cover.. facilities, maintenance, staff and player wages. all this needs to come from somewhere. That said Sisu aren't dumb, they will reinvest a percentage to keep the process ticking over. Sibley...

One way of looking at it ... but id say we just have a value in mind for each player. nobody wants to match that for Hamer currently then we are not duty bound to sell cheap. more bids will come as the window goes on. its same for O'Hare and Gyok. Im not deluded like some on here and realize we...

I'll be gutted when wel lose O'Hare but if that sort of career opportunity comes he'd be mad not to take it. Just refreshing that we aren't bent over a barrel in the fee negotiations for once

Was hoping it would be a grower or look better on the pitch but coming to the conclusion the home shirt isn't for me this year. Glad I'm in the minority and it looks to be selling well. Love the away and gk shirts though

Well if we were seriously in the market to pay those kinds of wages then we'll be fine. If they thought they had him I'd rather they take their time to find the right alternative

Why are people losing their nuts already? It's clear that funds to pay the wages of a decent defender are available as we were setting up to get in JCS. As far as I can tell we were close to a deal but got gazumped last minute. And that was more to do with geography than finance. He'd have...

Won a competition run by Midlands Bank to design a Minibus for my school (paint job on a transit) I got £50 in a new bank account, which through nothing but lazyness I still use today (now HSBC) Came second in a PES 5 competition held in the now defunct Gamestation shop. Got a copy of the game...

Does anyone know if he was repeatedly injured? I know he was when he went back to Bristol from us. But I thought it's been more a case of him getting unlucky with managers moving on shortly after he arrives and their replacemens not fancying him?

Yep my thinking exactly. Would be a gamble but I feel like pretty much any signing we make will be at our level. When fit we know he is good and if O'Hare, Dabo and Godden made the step up he would have also. Needed game time and a system that suited him so hard to judge where he is at now.

Fuck it, I'll say it... i'd have Walsh back in a heartbeat (depending on terms) I know he hasn't set the world alight since his loan but he was the standout player in our promotion season, especially the second half. Id back our coaching team to get a tune out of him again.
