He is 21 and playing in the sixth tier of English football tbf, I did read a couple of League 2 clubs have shown interest but obviously still way behind the level we need

Basically that's all I'm saying, hes literally just turned 20 last month, hes got time to develop further.

Are all older than him, Bapaga also turns 20 in a few months. I just think its harsh to label someone who has just turned 20 as deadwood.

Yeah, even more reason to give him a bit more time. The way its been suggested further in the thread is like hes a lame duck with a bad attitude.

Tbf I would suggest it's the exact same for Bapaga and Burroughs who are meant to be two of the better talents...
Burroughs played every position going, out on loan this year... Career will suffer if he doesn't nail down a position.
And given Bapaga appears to base himself off the left and come in, how does that fit in....

The Sun crediting us (and a few others) with an interest in young Brighton left back Alex Cochrane. Was on loan at Hearts last season...

Sounds like when we got Reece Brown on the basis of him being Wes’ brother *shudder*

He would be a great loan signing.

Reece Brown up against Arshavin, Giroud and a still half decent Walcott. Remember that?

Sheaf strikes me as a similar personality but lets his football do the talking. Which really is all that should matter

Think we were in for him. Think Ryan Lowe being good mates with Gerrard probably went against us.

Watched the England under 21's earlier he looks a real prospect imo.

Don’t think so, there was Hepburn-Murphy who we were always linked to, was meant to be the next big thing at Villa, now playing in Cyprus

It could be that, but he's probably the sort of player we'd potentially be looking at.
Linked with him in January 2022 only

Now linked as part of a swap deal for Calvin Bassey of Rangers.

Middlesbrough, Rangers and Watford amongst others keeping tabs on him.
Equally, I'd imagine a loan fee would be demanded given the level of interest.

Really surprised there isn't more focus on defensive targets here. We didn't keep anywhere near enough clean sheets last year and only bettering 7 teams in the goals against column.
It's the area that requires the biggest level of investment. Think a top quality CB is necessary even if we sign JCS-I still think there is better than JCS out there too, I like him, but his injury history is pretty poor.
I agree with many on here with regards to depth etc. But in terms of where we outright need to improve as of right now you would have to say CB and LWB (although I think Bidwell will be a different player with a pre-season behind him.)

CB reinforcements are desperately needed.
If McFadzean opts to move on we're down to two recognised CBs.
