Tylluan Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 15 hours ago, Andyben said: Given say £4m to strengthen, who would you be looking at @Tylluan. I'd have gone for Juninho Bacuna at Birmingham but he's on his way to Turkey unless we're the unnamed Championship club trying to scupper the deal. West Brom are open to offers for John Swift. Over 300 championship games and 9 goals in 37 appearances last season. In final year of his contract and not expected to feature as much this season CB wise, if Bernard is a no then I'd see if Liverpool were loaning out Nathaniel Phillips again. Cardiff last season and Celtic the season before. In the last year of his contract as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheExile Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Great to have Bernard back. As we are playing from the back I think we need to replace Diaby though he’s too erratic. Im intrigued by Rohls reference to looking for diamonds. I wonder if he means rough diamonds or just a bit of ready made quality on loan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the ones we have, only Dish is comfortable with the ball at his feet. I suspect Rohl will have some loans lined up. Young players who have the quality but are still rough diamonds as they perhaps lack the experience and consistency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyben Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Big difference will be having Chalobah in front of the two central defenders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tewksbury Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 The static midfield and dodgy wingbacks has been our biggest hurdle with playing from the back. The CBs are going to look jumpy when they have nobody to pass to in midfield or out wide and when they do it comes straight back with 2 players following it in at full pelt half the time. Look at the difference in what follows from when Valentin gets the ball from a CB to when Palmer/Johnson gets it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'll be games when we need a Diaby or a Ihiekwe.

Yeah we will need an Ihiekwe (I think he’s our best traditional “defender”) and Diaby is decent when tracking an attacker down the channel but he plays like an individual and was at fault way too many times to be trusted if we want to move forward. Happy to be proven wrong but whilst we do need physical and old school defenders in some scenarios I’m not sure he’s in that bracket either Edited July 18 by TheExile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted July 20 Author Share Posted July 20 I don't know where he fits into either team. Harrogate have two established keepers in Mark Oxley and James Belshaw. Both fighting for the 1 shirt as they played half a season each last season. Phil Priestley is a solid enough keeper coach but he's been at Harrogate since 2017 for a reason. If he goes to Mansfield he'll start number 2 behind Christy Pym but Scott Flinders is also there. Adam Collin only has a UEFA B licence and got promoted from the kids set up.

How is this kind of thing accomplished generally, Ty? Not on about these clubs specifically but is it more likely the loaning club asks us about his availability or that we've asked certain clubs about him possibly going out to them? Or are general chats going on regularly between many clubs at various levels, so that when a player like PC becomes ready for going out on loan, we aren't starting completely from scratch?

As @Reesh has said there's usually a connection between the clubs, somewhere, and Bibbo/Beadle is a good comparison. Clubs will also let it be known that certain players are available but these tend to be older players. We've put it out there that a couple are available for loan or to buy if the offer is right. And finally clubs looking to fill positions, instead of specific players, will be actively watching the market to see who becomes available. That tends to be the last minute loan deals. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Collin only has a UEFA B licence and got promoted from the kids set up. Done some digging and Clough is sending their young prospect, Owen Mason, out on loan. Pym will still be first choice but Flinders is moving to 3rd choice in order to do his coaching licence. That would leave an opening to at least push Pym. Then there's the extra cup games with the EFL Trophy games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming you're not taking the piss he's certainly an interesting character. Came up through Forest's youth system and had a few loans. Then he went to Dundalk in February, put in some outstanding performances then in his 9th game called the ref an Irish c#nt. Picked up a 10 game ban, longest in league history, and had his contract terminated. The ban will carry over if he signs for us. https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2024/0529/1452024-suspended-shelvey-leaves-dundalk-by-mutual-consent/ Edited July 20 by Tylluan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
