Even if he’s joining and wouldn’t shock me as he would suit how Lampard wants to play.

He’s left footed. Meaning he would take Kitchings role in the starting line up

Totally different roles/players but BTA makes Simms look like he has a proper first touch.

It originates from a twitter post from an unreliable source just naming championship clubs

Everton in for Kenny Tete as contract expiring, I wouldn’t be surprised if this triggers Fulham’s interest in Milan.

Not all rumours are from the press.

I once picked up on one re Swift purely through knowing one of his mates.

The postman at where I worked at in Brum, told me that he was big mates with Clive Platt and that he was signing for us that summer!

That was a pretty mental signing at the time. Although think he would have been perfect over some of the rubbish we had in those lower league years

Not arguing it’s a real source as it’s clearly not, but more it is one I could see us being interested in.

Not on loan personally. I think loan players will be squad filler only

No thanks, he got ripped apart on his Brighton debut, looked slow and ineffective.

At fault for the second goal, and didn't close his man down quickly enough for the third,
No better than what we've already got, and although they paid a rediculous fee for him, it's clear to see why Brighton want to off load him.

Who’s saying that Bobby Thomas is leaving us?!
JimmyHillsbeard said:
Eiran Cashin

Not in the know at all but hearing persistently that someone’s heard from someone that Bobby Thomas may be off.

Anyway, Eiran Cashin; remember his name being mentioned when we were looking at lots of Derby youth.

Seemingly available on season long loan from Brighton after a big money move there resulted in no breakthrough into the prem.


I suspect this link is the usual tosh tho…

I very much doubt that. Clubs sending their young players out on loan will inevitably expect them to receive consistent game time so using them as squad filler won't really be an option.

I think anyone brought in on loan will probably have a fairly prominent role in the squad.

To be honest someone like Brooks makes sense from that angle. Would get game time at both RW and AM throughout the season.

Yes think there is nothing to it, but we need rotation for Rudoni and Sakamoto and Brooks provides that without having players who can only play CAM or RW.

Thats why i like that italian striker, can play down the middle or on the wing too.

Backup doesnt necessarily mean 2 players per position, its about flexibility of players to play other positions.

Brooks was doing well towards the end of the season at Bournemouth, he’d be a major coup for the reasons you’ve pointed out.

Far more encouraging rumours than some rogue left back from a Sunday league team for the analysis guy to orgasm over

Loved Clive Platt, not a particularly good footballer but was better than given credit for especially utilised correctly.

Yes a players reputation can come down to
1. Playing to their strengths
2. Expecting to do something they are capable of

A squad does need utility players. Players who will just go out and give their best in any position.

Too many fans expect perfection week in week out. Off the bench change and have an impact on the game.

But football doesn't work like that, it is not an exact science or even an xg spreadsheet.

He was injured, he wanted to come off, but was forced to stay on.

The lack of intel this summer won't be a coincidence.

DK clearly is a stickler for keeping information in-house and for leaks to be kept at a minimum.

Wouldn't be shocked if either of the above don't get much, if any, information passed on anymore.

Think the only thing people have heard about is a new striker, which is half and half on here.

Apart from that it's quiet. Nothing about the defender that was mentioned the other morning. Toffolo still favourite for..

I miss the days we constantly had information leak. 100% think it’s better for the club for it not to be to avoid anyone stepping in but does make for a boring window

I do think Milan is most likely to be off, most likely Fulham. Everton not interested in him as they are likely to sign Fulham's right back on a free.

It was that era where bringing in ginormous strikers was the in thing.

John Parkin, Zidic, Márkó Futács, Darius Henderson etc.

Even now I could see why we signed him.
