21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread (5 Viewers)

I’d of been happy with Burke and Campbell yeah, I think we will end up with a better left back than Bell and wouldn’t go near the other 2. Mendes Gomes time will tell, we all know how big the step up is from league 2.

Who could we get at LB better than Bell in your opinion?

Campbell and Burke we would all be waxing lyrical about if we had signed, Mendes Gomes the same. Lansbury is a good signing and most would welcome the experience. Bell is a good signing and would be our first choice LB guaranteed. Its a great window and if we had pulled off these signings half our fan base would be saying we will finish top half.

Campbell is the only one, all the others we have better options in our squad (or I'm confident we will by the end of the window)

No idea but I think mccallum was better than him last season and we’ll find a better one (probably on loan) this year. Just don’t think Luton will be as good as some people seem to expect. Their best player last year was comfortably Dewsbury Hall who’s back at Leicester now.

Same as us I think, nice dull lower mid table season

Agree with this. Medes Gomez is literally in the same position as Jodi Jones. We can’t have two unknowns like them.

I’d have had Bell, as we don’t have a left back, and possibly Reece Burke, Campbell like MG is a bit of an unknown quantity aswell.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

They are losing Mpanzu, he put in an impressive display at St Andrews and totally dominated whoever was in our midfield that night, going to Cardiff or Boro apparently.

I'm not sure Lansbury is a good signing.

Over the past five years he's averaged around 12 games a season. That's an alarming record for a player who's likely to be one of their highest earners.

Has there been any update on Osti potentially coming back?

Blackburn fans seem to think he is shite

Which is telling because I think Blackburn are in Big trouble this season. I like Mowbray but he seems to struggle when pulling teams out of a slump.

If Armstrong goes then its going to be a long season for Blackburn Rovers IMO

 

[Bertola]

Boddy suggesting two or three more in before the start of the season, with the telegraph suggesting a CB and 2 LWB's

 

[slowpoke]

Can’t see us signing 2 LWBs unless MR has decided Josh Reid is a big mistake

Unless there's plans to loan him out for the season?

I said this, not heard a good word about Reid from the day he joined which is strange.

Yes i appreciate his injury but to be looking for 2 LWB screams either he's not good enough or is a crock

Good shout didnt think of that

I heard Brighton are going to keep him for preseason and then see about loaning him out. depending if they lose any current centre backs

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Strange thinking, he’s only just turned 19. He is ‘one for the future’, I think they call it.

 

[mark82]

Reid was always brought in as a development player, and was injured for a while too. Wouldn't surprise me if we brought in 2 LWBs.

For me though, I'd possibly want to bring in another CM, along with a CB & LWB.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Saddlebrains shopping list

George Cox - LWB - Fortuna Sittard
Leo Ostigard - self explanatory- loan or perm
Tommy Doyle - CM - Man City (LOAN)
a decent left footed centre half


Get them in and its away we go

I get that Reid was not going to be rushed in last season when we still had McCallum, regardless of the injury setbacks he suffered, but given he was a regular in the SPL, and therefore playing at a higher level than Rose was when he joined, I would have expected him to be pushing for a first team place this season, and not seen purely as a development player. The one good thing with having no other LWB at the moment is we will get to see how he looks in a few first team friendly's. If he looks completely out of his depth then expect MR to act quickly. We plainly need another LWB regardless, but would still be surprised if we brought two of them in.

What are you expecting to hear? He was brought in for the development squad and has only been here a few months. Think he might have been injured for some of that time as well.

See the above post frome @Legia Sky Blue hes nailed what i would have said in retort

Hopefully a replacement for James too, but that's probably pushing it

 

[Loughborough Sky Blue]

And I'm just sitting here still hoping we sign Jizz Hornkamp!

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Another overseas flop by Badlan

You will address him by his full name

Chris “Coup” Badlan

Thank you

Wasn't Reid playing in the centre and Newton playing the LWB towards the end of last season, but that may have been because of injuries

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Yes that’s right, Newton was released so he will play be able to play in his favoured position now

You must of missed this one mate

Sky Blues players applaud Josh Reid's first training session

It's fair to say Sky Blues players were impressed with new signing Josh Reid during his first training session

Raises the question even more then of why were apparently looking for 2 doesnt it?

Probably Turner chatting bubbles again

Have to say I was surprised with them saying we needed 2, especially with mason still here. My best guess is Turner's on one as well . I'd be happy with 1 CB and 1 lwb.

Because he literally turned 19 a matter of weeks ago & was signed for the U23s at this stage.
For context he's younger than the likes of Cian Tyler, Blaine Rowe, Ricardo Dinanga etc.

He also came with rave reviews from playing SPL games and seems to have made everyone on the training ground ejaculate at his quality on his first session.

So i would say we only need 1 lwb

2 CBs also
