Gemmill 47463 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago 8 minutes ago, Holden McGroin said: He was fine the season before. The reason the defence struggled last year was because the midfield didn’t have the energy for the press. If you play a high line and fail to press the ball correctly, you’re fucked. We are debating something we have no idea about anyway. IF we could re-invest the money into a CF or RW this window then I’d prefer we did that. If not then just hold onto him. It’s upto Big Mitch. That’s why we pay him the big bucks. Not just to keep him in jeans with a suit top. There are people in this thread saying sell him regardless of whether we can reinvest this month. That's moronic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 18031 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago 1 minute ago, Kid Dynamite said: Howe went for Kelly because he was the 2nd best CB available on a free after Tosin went to Chelsea They were reported around the same time. IIRC we had agreed with Tosin before he got his head turned by the twats at the bridge. Kelly am fairly sure was signed due to Botman’s injury… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4400 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Yeah the point is not that the cover HAS to be Kelly, but that there must be cover. If there's someone coming in fair enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 14292 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Botman, Burn, Hall, Targett, Livramento is more than enough to cover the left hand side of defence. Signing someone for free and flipping him for £10-15 million is exactly the shit you have to do these days, I’m afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing someone for free and flipping him for £10-15 million is exactly the shit you have to do these days, I’m afraid. Burn is 33, Livramento is our starting RB, Targett is the Wilson of full backs and is gone next year anyway. Other than that, spot on. He wasn’t free when you consider signing and agents fees, probably circa £6mill. He also has something none of our CB’s have which is top class pace. He’s young enough, he covers a few positions. We need a deeper squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31657 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago £11m bid in for Almiron from Atlanta. Can’t see us accepting that unless we get in more cover at CB. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither ideal as both prefer playing on the left. Selling Miggy surely means we’re going to buy a new RW. Long overdue too tbh. That Cunha would be perfect but we don’t have the money to get him thanks to the PSR bullshit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 4475 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Would rather take a chance on Dibling from Southampton personally, Semenyo isn’t as good as he looks this season it’s a purple patch like Miggys was. I don’t think Mbeumo is the kind of player we need either, and would probably cost more than we can spend at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 22736 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago We tried to her Elanga in the last window but I can’t see forest letting him go given the position they’re in. I think there’s better out there too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I really like him I’m not sure Mbeumo has the intensity to play for Howe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
