He's been on about a decent new CB since the summer window closed tbh

Thanks Chris.

You're welcome

I know, but that’s not quite the same as what I’m asking.

 

[cov87!]

I was more thinking of the experience it seems we need in that back line. A Fadz type player if you like. Not someone for the long run, but someone who could dig in, command and get us over the line.

100% this. Too much of a soft underbelly and arrogance at the moment back there. Experience is what we need and premier league experience which is what Frank thought he’d have with bamford albeit in the forward line.

Well in reality we needed a lot, despite your disagreement.

We needed wingers, a CM and then I always said doing surgery to get rid of a LB or 2 and getting a new one in.

CB would follow that, but I never saw it likely so didn't cmoment as much on it.

Yes the signing of Worrall would fit this.

 

[19Skybluearmy76]

Jamaal Lascelles rumoured to be leaving Newcastle with obviously Birmingham City in the conversation (pissing me off they are) and also Leicester City but another 4 unamed Championship clubs. He'd be perfect vastly experienced, solid and would do a decent job.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

While I would defo want to sign a CB. I do wonder how a pairing of Thomas and Woolf would do.

Have they played in a back pairing this season?

Not in a 2, they have in a 3 I beleive

The thing that makes me laugh is that Bobby and Kitching have been partners for a very long time even at Barnsley but neither of them seem to be aware of what the other one is doing. They are both weak as piss water, yesterday Kone ragged them all over the shop.

Yeah, someone at fairly low cost, with that level of experience. The cost would be a mere drop in the ocean if it leads us to getting the job done.

A battering ram, they're not exactly built for it are they.

At this point I suppose it’s a case of only time will tell. I think your insistence that we can only get promoted if certain players are signed would have more credibility if your suggestions for what we need didn’t change every week.

Built like the majority of centre halves but just aren't up for the scrap.

Ive always said Wingers, then a CM, then LB and then CB. Go back and check my posts.

What I am suggesting is much more realistic to get us promoted than yours of not signing anyone.

I did, and there are plenty of posts where you laid out our needs without mentioning CBs at all. I don’t mind if you’ve changed your mind, I’m just saying.

I said all along we would need extra bodies (ideally on the right terms) and we’ve got them. As bad as yesterday was I still believe this squad can get promoted, even more so if we add Onyeka on loan - you don’t, so I guess we’ll see.

You never said we needed signings. You said to let the lads do it themselves. Thats OK to admit.

There are also plenty of examples of me saying we need signings, but we don’t have to do this all over again.

Stop bickering girls

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Nothing new on incomings from me.
I see we look to have finally reached an agreement with Brentford though, so that's good news.

Not a rumour, just an opinion and may get laughed at, but i'd be looking at Jamaal Lascelles. He may not be what we are after in the long run but he's experienced and could come in and make a big difference to our run in. If we are not going to use Lati, let him go and get the minutes he craves, he is a good Championship defender for the right club.

I was thinking Lascelles then looked and saw he’s injured until April I think

Lesta and Birmingham apparently interested , injured at the moment .

Be brilliant if he wasn’t made of glass.

A left back might be on the cards if Bidwells move goes through

Heard anything on where Bidwell is likely to end up. Thought we might of tried to send him to Wednesday by now

Was told Pompey earlier in the window but that stalled

Wouldnt surprise me to see him at any of the clubs fighting to stay up

Good.

Fair enough, thanks for the update. Any names on the left back? Seems a late time to start trying so assume we’ve got one in mind

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

As a side note just seen United are signing a new leftback. Wonder if there rumours on Burrows could be true. Personally don’t think he’s what we need.

I'd much prefer McCallum.

Any new LB needs to have physicality and pace as the priority.

Harry McGlinchey from Chelsea but he'll be one for the future I assume as he's only 18.

he's not great defensively

McCallum was injured yesterday & replaced by Burrows, they might be signing a new LB as cover whilst McCallum injured

Ah frustrating, didn't know that.

Bidwell to Sheffield United on the cards then
