21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread (20 Viewers)

[Deleted member 2477]

IMO we need

Starting GK (Westwood anyone?)
2 new CBs
LB
James
Liam Walsh (do a straight swap for O'Hare + maybe a bit of cash and laugh about the daylight robbery)
New AM
Couple of wingers (Ashley Cain + 1 other)
New striker

So litteraly a whole new team then. Has MR found a money tree growing in his garden and you would swap O’hare for a player who hasnt played all season due to injury and performed for us in league1 but cant get into a poor Brisol city team who in the bottom half of the championship

Westwood probably my favourite ever city player, being a burge-esque keeper myself. Would love to have him back! Don’t think it will happen though

He certainly wont want to stay in l1 and is now getting on a bit so why not ?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

High wages and frequently injured

 

[Blind-Faith]

His wages would be just too much I think. I don’t want to dream too much as it would be to painful when we don’t sign him

 

[Yorkshire SB]

Need 3 or 4 permanent signings that are an improvement on the starting line up. Then ideally 5 loans in to bolster the squad.

I think we need more pace, creativity and options going forward, this year we were a bit blunt going forward.

Fadz, Kelly, Biamou all get new one year deals - which they’d hopefully sign
Would be ideal if we could get McCallum back for a season.
James perfect for CM

Would still need
1 x CM
2 x CBs
2/3 attacking wide players who gives us a different way of playing

edit- a new GK too

We will probably see at least 11 players depart so we do need a new team yes

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Putting the injury proneness aside, I don’t recall his kicking being great despite being a brilliant goalkeeper.

Doesn’t strike me as a ball playing keeper either

James yes the rest not so sure. Kelly and McFadzean personally i would keep but i suspect they want longer than 1 year contracts which i wouldnt offer. Biamou should not be offered any length contract he isnt up to the standard required.
McCallum will be loaned to a higher placed team than us. Not point in Norwich sending him here again he learns nothing new.
We need 2 CB agreed as Ostigard wont be back despite the love for him. 1 LB definitely 1 AM as O'Hare cant play all the time and needs competition. No point signing wide players as Robins doesnt use them
A lot depends on the outgoings though. Can we shift any or all of the below:
Jobello, Kastaneer, Hillssner, Allen, Shipley, Mason and likely Marosi

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I really hope we don't get McCallum back, although he has absolute zero chance of getting any game time in the Premier League so it will probably happen. Don't get me wrong, he's played well recently (most of the team have), but it's just glossing over the fact he's extremely average at best for most of the season.

Your missing the point - he’s progressing year on year. The championship club that has him next season will have a top performing left sided defender

If we want to crack on and make a push for the top half of the table then yes, we will almost definitely need an entire new team with the exception of a couple. What have you seen this season that makes you think our current crop of players could manage it over 46 games?

I honestly think Coventry fans are the most deluded in the country. Laughable.

How are people biting at this. It’s the most obvious bait ever, he’s suggested Ashley cain ffs

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

He is only 20 tbf and has done okay this season in the main for a struggling team. His next loan move will be make or break I feel, Norwich haven’t been averse to sending their youngsters abroad

It’s slower than 11 new first team players each year

First Team next year will include

New Gk
Dabo
New cb
Possibly mcfadzean
Hyam
New lb
Hamer
James
Ohare
Walker
Possibly Godden

Bench

Kelly
Rose
One of Marosi / Wilson
Eccles

So a couple of improved free agents and maybe one or two purchases and 2-3 loans of the impact of osti you can see the progression

Like Shmee the defence is our priority including a keeper but I expect quick movement on kelly mcfadzean and james if the price is right

I expect shipley Allen hillsner Biamou baka Kastaneer to all leave and none of the other loans to come back

I don’t see how we get Kasta and especially Hilssner off the books, the former knows he’s on his last pro contract and the latter has 2 years left.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Professional pride. They won’t be on massive salaries as signed for league 1 but the money we are paying them is completely wasted as they won’t play as they are nowhere near the level required

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Hilssner appears to have a decent attitude tbf and had success in the lower divisions of Germany so should be able to get a move back there. Kastaneer well I don’t see why anyone would want him

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Professional pride. They won’t be on massive salaries as signed for league 1 but the money we are paying them is completely wasted as they won’t play as they are nowhere near the level required

Hilssner signed in the Championship and Kastaneer was a “big” signing. They wouldn’t be on a pittance

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

You’re right about hillsner but he wouldn’t be on a big wage. But just wasted money as they will never play

Kasta hasn’t got any, he’ll be content riding his contract to the end. Hilssner I agree but still got to find someone who’ll take him and being unfit and unable to get into the Oldham squad isn’t a ringing endorsement. The rest we can offload no problem.

We have Mason who will never play and Jobello

Maybe we can offer Kasta to Sunderland and £10

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

I see Eccles forcing his way into the midfield next season but is there to be any other youngsters breaking through ie Bagapa or Drysdale etc.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We have Mason who will never play and Jobello

Mason unless mistaken is out of contract and Jobello I think will take a transfer out if offered. Kasta will refuse and ride out another year

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He needs a club that’s as big a meme as he is so not a bad call

 

[Grendel]

No we resigned mason on an improved contract until June 2022

Right, I’m pretty sure someone in L1 will take him though.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Mason signed a new contract didn’t last year?

I’m certain MR will draft in another striker to seriously challenge Walker and Godden and atleast a couple of left sided playets to balance the team.
We will have two or three youngsters knocking the first team door too.
I think Robins will try for Osti on a permanent too. But there are going to be a lot of released decent players around too, going to be an interesting close season.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

You'd hope we'd be able to find a lower league German club willing to take Hilssner. Mason I imagine would be keen to player so shouldn't be too hard to shift. Jobello seems fairly unhappy that he's not playing so he'll hopefully leave too. Kasta is the one who will be impossible to shift, just have to hope he's not on too much and we can pay him up.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

I see Eccles forcing his way into the midfield next season but is there to be any other youngsters breaking through ie Bagapa or Drysdale etc.

Drysdale has done okay at Cambridge, played the last few games for a team in the automatic places in League 2. Think they will try and get a League 1 club for him and hops it goes better than Gillingham

 

[Grendel]

Mason signed a new contract didn’t last year?

He signed a deal just before Rotherham away and was frozen out after that game

 

[CCFColi]

We were rumoured to be looking at Lawrence Shankland. Seems to have a good record in the Scottish Prem. Might be out of our price range though. Possibly could do a job in the Championship, but a gamble, which I suppose is like any transfer.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Mason signed a new contract didn’t last year?

See above, confident we could shift him anyway. Kasta we’d probably have to pay off
