Sounds like Bailey Peacock-Farrell is joining Birmingham on loan - interesting one.
Wonder where that leaves Sarkic too.

I don't think anybody hates on him, his career with us has been exceptional but he had a rough season & has clear deficiencies in his game which have been exposed at this level, notably a frightening lack of pace. Not to say he can't step up again, playing on the left side definitely doesn't help, but he was markedly improved during our good run towards the end of the season.

That’s an interesting one. He was massively rated at one point

Don’t think we’ve gone significantly backwards defence wise.

We’ve lost a stand out in Ostigard, but I have full faith he’ll be replaced by a more then adequate CB, if not the man himself. At which point we have the same CB’s as last year, all of whom have a years more experience and all of whom were part of the squad that kept us up. Plus you can’t really count Rose as he was injured for the majority of the season and clearly not ready when he came back in. We also have Drysdale who received positive reviews from his time with Cambridge.

LWB is the obvious issue, but again I’m sure they’re on it. McCallum was by no means the finished article and I’d back us to find someone at the same standard as a minimum.

Not too bothered about another CM if budget is tight. Sheaf, Hamer, Eccles are all good enough, just inexperienced. Kelly will manage half a season I’m sure. An experienced hand would be ideal to fill the Kelly role for his inevitable injury though.

Time will tell on the keeper. If we do get another in, Wilson has basically signed a new contract to agree he’s happy to be third choice at a mid table Championship side (not quite the same as the likes of Camp, Carson, Wright etc doing it at the big clubs)!

Josh Doig from Hibernian would be an ideal choice of left back. Apparently available for only £1.5m

Didn't they turn down a 2.5m bid from Watford a few weeks ago, well out of our price range unfortunately.

Lewis Gibson (Everton U23's) would have been coached by Lawrence. Played a bit on loan with Reading last year.
Left footed defender, probably not a wing back but could slot into LCB of our 3. Wouldn't be surprised if he is on our loan radar. No intel, just speculation

Haven't they also been heavily linked with Bettinelli following his release from Fulham?

Yeah it's worth noting that most of our squad had zero experience at this level before last season. They now have a season, so will be better prepared with what to expect. The bonus of Hyam's lack of speed is it means he won't necessarily decline when he gets older, but can only improve if he's able to learn, and become wiser.

I actually have high hopes he'll have a decent season!

They were linked yeah but sounds like he might be off to Chelsea now as 3rd choice.
Birmingham desperate for a keeper as they don't know how long Etheridge will be out for as he recovers from Covid.

Yep, great news. Eye opening to see an elite athlete admitted to hospital, goes to show how serious it can be.

More bizarre why he gets poorly and others have a sniffle. That is until the experts tell us what the connection is and we’ll all go ah that makes sense

I remember this time last year many on here were up for the signing of Flanagan from Sunderland despite their fans slating him. Luckily they re-signed him and we brought in Ostigaard instead!!

Nothing at all
Robins says we are near to a couple of loans so the fact there are no leaks could be a good sign that they are near completion
Noise about signings is often made by player's agents touting them around

Does anyone know of any realistic left backs out there? It's all very quiet and myself I don't really know a great deal about any players that we may be looking at.

I reckon a Premier league loan is the best way to go. Given we probably wont spend money on one.

I would love someone like Ian Maatsen on loan, or Rhys Norrington-Davis

Ian Maatsen from Chelsea, maybe. Probably the best option from Prem U23 squads.

What's there reasoning? I'd say it's pretty unlikely personally, the guy is ambitious and if he's going out on loan surely did enough to get offers slightly higher up than us.

Basically he’s got a year left so no point in a loan, more likely to sell and too rich for our blood. All speculation but seems sensible.

Played at Charlton last year. Looks like when he was fit (only missed a handful of games) he played most minutes. Must've been doing something right. Imagine Chelsea would be looking at a lower end Championship club for his next step.

It makes sense but you'd think if you offered £1m and 20% sell on Brighton could be tempted.
Do the same for Walton.

If we’ve got £1m of course.
