Styles was at Millwall.

A team that didn't even make the play offs, even worse

Robins could break our Transfer Record with the replacement. Sure 8-10 million would get us a brilliant young box to box midfielder.
Feel we should be looking in The Championship for that player. Not many teams could turn down 10 million for their best player, especially clubs with financial troubles (Blackburn, Sheff Wed etc)

I think two players. A solid championship player and a young player to develop. Then we add depth too.

Stoke were chasing Burger, maybe we could gazump them now.

Wonder if Burger is on Kings, wish list

TomRad85 · Aug 11, 2023

Burger and Styles would be pretty good in all honesty and wouldn't cost even close to what we get for Hamer.

Its about replacing the stats if you have to do that by comitee so be it. Bring multiple players in and change the system if you have too.

Sounds like he's only heading in one direction

Winny the Bish · Aug 11, 2023

Would sign two replacements and let them battle with Sheaf. Best players start.

SleepyGinger · Aug 11, 2023

@Frostie normally has a few good suggestions

Greggs · Aug 11, 2023

Liam Walsh

SBT · Aug 11, 2023

Three pages in and no-one’s mentioned Scott Twine yet, I’m incredibly proud of you all

I tell Mr Fawlty we get Pablo Martín Páez Gavira, they call him Gavi for shorts. He very good young midfield, Mr Robin like very much. He from Barcelona like me!

Callum Styles or Wharton from Blackburn or both if we are audacious enough.

Wharton would be outrageous.

I'm out on Styles. Only played 22 games last season, missed half the year injured.

Hey, treat people with kindness

Deity · Aug 11, 2023

We need a classic number 8, box to box midfielder. We have options for the CAM in Pslmer, Ohare and Tats …. We have options for the CDM role in Sheaf, Eccles, Kelly and Lati but it’s the 8 where we are short.

I think Eccles has the engine but lacks the passing range and attacking threat.

Willock is a forward so not a replacement. Doesn’t fit out policy for players but I would like Tom Cairney from Fulham. He’s a leader and a similar player but he is 31.

jesus he was 22 last season

San Francisco · Aug 11, 2023

Wharton, Kitching, another CM and ST. Job done.

?? Willock is 25 and I’m referring to Tom
Cairney not fitting our recruitment at 31 but being a great option.

CovLad94 · Aug 11, 2023

I'm sure the scouting department have a contingency plan and possible targets lined up, can see a replacement coming in rather quick as it was with Gyok. Going to be interesting, MR said he wanted 2 more, can see up to 5/6 coming in still

Sloth From Shilton · Aug 11, 2023

Sign Matt Grimes at all costs

Alex Mowatt?

Jamieb87ccfc · Aug 11, 2023

Billy Gilmore anyone, linked to us previously. Not in favour with Brighton and still young and could develop?

Legia Sky Blue · Aug 11, 2023

I don't think a single player can replicate what Hamer provided us last season so to my mind we will need 2 replacement midfielders. Sheff U had McAtee & Doyle on loan last season so I wonder what Man City's plans are for them this season? O'Brien could also be a loan option from Forest.

Outside of those I wouldn't mind Willock or Twine as attacking options, or Molumby or Gardner-Hickman from West Brom as more solid types. I have always thought Grimes looked a good player, but his goalscoring stats are very uninspiring.

Anyhow, over to you MR!

Grimes every day of the week, offer 5-8 million and it would get done

For a 28 year old though?

No tom, honestly last time i heard his name he was a kid tearing up the championship

Sloth From Shilton · Aug 11, 2023

Hamza Chodhury won’t get much game time at Leicester this season with winks coming in for them. Maybe we could pinch him

Nah Matt Grimes mate

covcity4life · Aug 11, 2023

Hijack casedai loan? Think he might be AM though

Couple more obscure suggestions (I’m sat round a pool bored):

Carel Eiting (FC Volendam)
Adem Zorgane (Sporting Charleroi)

More bloody anagrams

Would prefer it if we signed an actual footballer... He hasn't got the skills required to do anything more than defensive midfield.

Grimes would be good in a possession based team, not particularly exciting and a lower ceiling due to his age and also doesn't score many goals.

AFCCOVENTRY · Aug 11, 2023

Reality is we need a few midfield players who are able to link up play and be creative. Robins was in a way saying that after Wimbledon about the midfield. I expect one marquee signing and another one to develop in that space.

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Aug 11, 2023

Players like Mowatt and Grimes really don't excite me, would be a massive downgrade on Hamer

Brighton Sky Blue · Aug 11, 2023

Mustafa Koch
Mike Oxmells-Grimm
Ben Dover

Would provide real depth to the squad and all wanting out at the moment.
