Forgot to mention but he also has the same agent as Hamer and loads of other big names/championship/former cov players. Though I would take that connection with a grain of salt as it’s a pretty large agency.
Do you know if he’s exactly 20 or is that just ballpark? Would hedge my bets on 21 yo Oliver Dovin playing at Hammarby (same club as Adjei we were scouting) and Sweden international. Turns 22 in July. Would be a very good pickup as he’s already one of the best young keepers in Europe outside of...
Wouldn’t mind having him in the squad but would also like the cash in. I just don’t think we should be gambling on inconsistent players with above average skill, would rather bring in consistent performers.
I wouldn't be opposed to us selling Sheaf at the peak of his value. He is an immense player for us and I'd hate to see him leave, but I'd much rather get the most value out of him and reinvest that into 2-3 guys that can be as good or better than him with time.
We need to be playing youth at this point. The lack of youth coming through recently is embarrassing and we have virtually nothing to play for anymore. Be great to see at least one academy lad make a big impression and break through.
The signings we made were all good but sadly not enough. Where was our Hamer replacement? Most crucial man in the squad wasn’t replaced till January and with Torp who I love but hadn’t had any football in months. This is what I mean by lesson learned.
Any Packers fans? Was a bit distraught after we drafted Jordan Morgan but I think it was the right call. Had the Cooper DeJean seed planted in my head from the start but the lack of great tackles on the board (barring Jordan) and our need makes it the right pick. We will probably end up trading...
We’re in for a big summer lads don’t worry. Whether we sell sheaf or not I have full faith that King and Robins have learned from their mistake and will reinvest properly. PUSB.
He’s not a punt, would start over Torp. One of the best midfielders in League One. I doubt Brighton would sell that low, they could be looking at £1.5-£3m for him.
I would say Solanke has more a chance right now, but besides him there's Delap, Stansfield and maybe Archer within a shot in the future, all of which are worse than Simms imo. Tammy Abraham is still only 26 as well.
