i like my CB’s taller than my wingersRegarding O'Nien. It wasn't so long back that many of us were calling for an older more experienced CB to shore up the back line. Wouldn't he therefore contribute to this? If he does the job, being likable isn't really a problem once he plays for us is it?

He would be but started Sunderland's last 2, so don't see why they'd loan him out.Cirkin in suggestions. Would be a great addition
Because the 2 ahead of him in the pecking order have been at AFCONHe would be but started Sunderland's last 2, so don't see why they'd loan him out.
Playing regularly for sheff utd isn't he?I don't know why we don't go after someone like Harrison Burrows, surely he wants more minutes playing.
ah. Maybe then, but would probably be done near the end of the window I guessBecause the 2 ahead of him in the pecking order have been at AFCON
Good going forward but not that good defensively.I don't know why we don't go after someone like Harrison Burrows, surely he wants more minutes playing.
O'Nien is talked about as he is a utility payer and adds depth - can play centre back, right back, defensive midfield and left back if needed.O'Nien had the season of his life last year.
Over performed - that won't happen again.
He's barely had a kick this year ( been injured I think) but came on recently and got sent off.
Pretty sure he treated his appearance as his dream, sounding like he'd be lucky to make many appearances in the Premier League.
He's rusty, and I do not believe up to the level of player that we should be looking at to get us over the line.
I'd be concerned if we did sign him.
Would guess so although after the PL games midweek it's 10 days until the next onesah. Maybe then, but would probably be done near the end of the window I guess
Any genuine links or is that just a rumourabada?
We've been linked in the press.Any genuine links or is that just a rumour
but saddle said we're in talks with WilsonWe've been linked in the press.
Its more of a solid rumour than the likes of Cirkin, Wilson and Neil
The adjective SOLID being key therebut saddle said we're in talks with Wilson
Concerned is a huge overreaction. We are already making good moves. I wouldn't really see the point as i don't think he'd see the pitch much but i wouldn't be concerned.O'Nien had the season of his life last year.

If Lati leaves its the only reason i see. To be a 4th choice CB and perhaps occasionally give Grimes 10 minutes off here and there.I’d accept O’Nien despite him not being my favourite player.
It would be an upgrade on Lati imo and an extra CB / midfield option for when we’re trying to defend a lead. I think his season last year at mainly CB I think was massively helped by playing next to Ballard.
He is a prick on the pitch, but off it seems a nice lad and hardworking professional
Concerned that we'd be using a squad place and wages that could be used on someone that may see more of the pitch.Concerned is a huge overreaction. We are already making good moves. I wouldn't really see the point as i don't think he'd see the pitch much but i wouldn't be concerned.
On Eccles, without wanting to start another run of Sheaf criticism, Eccles has benefited from no longer being his junior partner. He was always better offensively than Sheaf, but it used to look like Sheaf was the one allowed to "step out" more. Especially under Robins.His goals have been v important and it’s something he’d not really done under Robins. I can’t recall him scoring outside of the box in 22/23 or 23/24 (maybe Birmingham at home in 22/23) but under Lampard he’s kicked on.
I do think Torp and Rudoni are better players, but it’s a squad game and whenever Eccles has played, there’s been no marked downgrade.
I don't get the concerns about squad spaces. We have a small squad. Who's taking them up? We could easily cut the likes of Bell, Andrews, one of Bidwell/Brau if we need to make spaces.Concerned that we'd be using a squad place and wages that could be used on someone that may see more of the pitch.
I still don’t see how he starts 10 games for us this season, even if he signed tomorrow.O'Nien is talked about as he is a utility payer and adds depth - can play centre back, right back, defensive midfield and left back if needed.
He’s an absolute shit house - but off the pitch he’s supposed to be an incredibly nice humble dude in contrast.
I don’t rate him one bit as a player though.
Exactly. We have lots of filler in the squad. Rumours are Bidwell might be off.I don't get the concerns about squad spaces. We have a small squad. Who's taking them up? We could easily cut the likes of Bell, Andrews, one of Bidwell/Brau if we need to make spaces.
Doesn't need to start. Could come on 10 games to help see out wins.I still don’t see how he starts 10 games for us this season, even if he signed tomorrow.
