Was wondering exactly that Chig, big age difference and potential sell on difference as well. Surely the fee can’t be the stumbling block here Couldn't we get them both? Happy days if we manage that smiling bisto 🤣 Can’t see it myself though

'There's nothing wrong with the process'.
Obviously if we do sign him I'll back him from the off, but Christ. This almost smacks of preparing for league one.
Just simply nothing like what we need.

the fact that Ryan Bennett gets picked ahead of him say it all really.
seems a very odd / Panicked signing if it happens.

Judging by the reaction of the majority on here.....we should pull the plug on this one???

‘Slowest footballer I’ve ever seen’ paired with 34 year old Ashley Williams. Let’s just wait and see, Paul McGrath was one of the best defenders I’ve seen and if my memory serves me correctly, he could barely run. We also need a few men and leaders not some jellyfish fairies, let’s just wait and give him a fair crack Bobby Moore wasn't that quick either but had perfect positional sense and was a leader, I am not suggesting Batth is either another Moore or McGrath but if he does arrive he may have other qualities we are missing, we will still need some pace at the back though!!

The first season he wasn’t a regular in the Wolves side.......they won the league.
Stinks of cheaper option facilitated by our good friends Beswicks.
Just pay the extra money for Clarke at Pompey who at 22 years old is the exact type of signing we should be making. He’ll be on less money and will no doubt demand less too.
We’ve learned absolutely FUCK ALL.

He literally sounds like the definition of what we don't need

“Batth would be very much a Nathan Jones signing after he drew a red ring round his name when discussing with the club's hierarchy where he wanted to strengthen in the January window.
Jones sees Baath as being the right age in terms of mobility and experience, while also possessing the physical presence he wants at the heart of his defence.”

Clarke is £5 Million, surely we aren't skimping that much? He's not exactly the pacey CB we desperately need is here. Was wondering exactly that Chig, big age difference and potential sell on difference as well. Surely the fee can’t be the stumbling block here I mean, there is the chance both could sign if Jones may see Batth and Clarke as his new CB pairing? But if it's a case of 'one or the other' then Clarke gets my vote every time. Though lets face it, there are way worse defenders that we could be signing, and there way worse ones already at the club

Everyone assuming it's a pizza signing and spinks says it's 'very much' a NJ signing I don't doubt for one second that Jones has given it the green light, but it doesn't smack of one driven by him, does it? Despite the spin operation. Very little about this one makes any sense (apart from the bargain bin price)

On paper seems similar to Shawcross but not as good. His standout aspects are in the air and clearing the ball... Both of which he does with less success than Ryan.
I just hope he has bang on positional awareness and some fight in him.

Oh FFS. If there is no other reason than its saving them £1.5m they are absolute morons. Are they thick or just bare faced liars? Or getting something because its Beswicks? This makes no sense whatsoever.

Hope is good at plugging leaks.
So very underwhelmed by this.
NJ likes young pacy players, (which is what we are crying out for all over the pitch) so why go for this guy.

Probably because he knows the Beswicks link will lead to lots of Pizza Boy conspiracy theories about Jonesy being a patsy?

If it is to save the rumoured £1.5 million extra for Clarke, then the club are very naive. An English, 22 year old, could have one good season for us and be worth £10/20 million pounds.

After that arse licking ‘feature’ about Cartwright they did I don’t think we can take anything the Sentinel says at face value....
