Beat me to the punch.
I like him. Was excellent in his first spell at Brum & like @SBAndy I was a big advocate for us signing him. He struggled with injuries a bit last season & of course Brum had that clown Karanka in charge for the most part too.
He's naturally left sided & very comfortable in possession, would bring the balance we were desperately missing last season.
Doesnt matter shmmeee, all that's important is hes on Chelsea's books, therefore we must get him in on loan.What’s your thoughts on Clarke-Salter? Not seen him play but looks like he failed to get into a pretty poor Brum side last season.
Cant see his wages being an issue as he's currently without a club, and very few championship clubs are throwing cash around.In what way is he better than what we have or better than the likes of Clarke-Salter as an example?
He's a proper throwback 80's style defender, head & kick everything but woeful in possession. Even then McFadz pisses all over him in pretty much every relevant statistic.
Its pretty clear from what you've said on this & other threads that you don't watch a lot of football outside of us (which is fine) but he's been poor in all of the last 3 seasons.
He's 31 this year & likely wanting big wages. I'd be surprised if he finds himself a Championship move unless he's prepared to be a low wage substitute.

Getting a contract and some game time is probably his priority.
And I watch a rediculous amount of football, which is why I just cant get my head around some of the crazy suggestions on here today (none of which will happen)
I mean seriously Toms91 suggested a teenager who has literally never played a competitive game of mans football in his life!
Wtf!!!

Yea, I said yesterday that one may have to go, we need at least 3 quality players in, and time is running out now.That’s the market we’re in though. Loans only by the looks of it. Which probably means untried kids from the Prem. Matty James was an exception to the rule but there aren’t many of him laying about.
Personally I’d sell one of the Crown Jewels if we’re that skint because I agree I think we need better than kids but Robins can’t magic up some cash or interested bidders so we are where we are.
Yes of course 2 seasons at Swansea and ready for the next step up.You ever heard of Marc Guehi?
We aren’t selling anyone we want to keep for less than a significant feeYea, I said yesterday that one may have to go, we need at least 3 quality players in, and time is running out now.
It needs to be a busy week if we are going to be competitive against Forrest. I'm backing MR to pull something good out of the hat.
He only has a year left on his Chelsea contract and turns 24 in September. I would have thought Chelsea would be looking to sell him rather than loan him out again.Two key things: firstly, the season before at Blues he was shifted out to LB for a good portion of the season and they thought he was good. Then last season he was injured a fair bit so didn’t get much chance to play, and then there was a change of manager. The fact he’s played LB really sells this to me as he should be capable defending in wide positions and that’s exactly what you need in a back 3.
They kept Jamal Blackman the goalkeeper who was at Rotherham until he was 27He only has a year left on his Chelsea contract and turns 24 in September. I would have thought Chelsea would be looking to sell him rather than loan him out again.

Well it's a bit bloody late to be selling isn't it?Yea, I said yesterday that one may have to go, we need at least 3 quality players in, and time is running out now.

But not to late to be buying it would seem.Well it's a bit bloody late to be selling isn't it?
Dujon Sterling had never played a senior first team game when he signed for us. He wasn’t bad was he?Cant see his wages being an issue as he's currently without a club, and very few championship clubs are throwing cash around.

Exactly. Literally every footballer has played their first game at some point. It’s not a metric to measure quality. And actually if you take a punt on somebody without experience you can end up with better quality than somebody with 100/200/300 games behind them.And Kent, Armstrong hadn’t scored a senior goal. Bayliss and Maddison others

He was very good tbf, But comparing one former player with no league experience to a potential new one means nothing.Dujon Sterling had never played a senior first team game when he signed for us. He wasn’t bad was he?

I mean it’s as relevant as me saying “what about Bouwe Bosma”. It would mean absolutely nothing.
This season we are in the unique position of having no one available at LWB so taking a punt on a young kid would be a massive gamble, And massive gambles can occasionally come off, but if this one didn’t, we would be in a whole load of shit. For example we took a punt on Josh Reid, he was very highly rated, and 19 years old with Scottish league experience, And that has yet to be fruitful. (Although I’m sure it will be eventually)
I’d much rather loan someone with at least some proven ability, or persuade sisu to raid the piggy bank once more, Or even as a last resort look to offload someone and generate the funds that way.

No offence intended to Reid and he has plenty of time but I would think Maatsen is considerably ahead
And Robins as good as said in the interview that it wasn't happening and he wasn't really even a targetI doubt its Leo sadly , played against rangers yesterday and was quite impressive by all accounts
Would he of been under viveash then? Remember him captaining England u21s for a while
With our Cbs I wouldnt be surprisedGuehi will probably get an England cap before the end of the season
we love a clarke-second name dont weClarke-Salter
Shows the competition Ostigard has to make the Brighton first team squad. With Brighton also having the Ben White money to spend I still think he won’t get in, where that might leave us who knows.Brighton have this tidy young centre half called Van Hecke who has been quite decent on loan in the Eredivise, maintaining an average match rating of 6.96 with 2324 minutes played. Same age as Ostigard, reckon if MR can’t get Osti back he could contact them for Van Hecke? Don’t see it happening but if Osti’s staying surely that means VH would be loaned?
