31. Can imagine he's holding out for Barca to come in for him 31?? How?? Honestly thought he must be pushing 40 Same as Raheem Sterling, I can't believe he's only 28!

Do think Tuanzabe is exactly what we need, quick and can head the ball. We need some physicality and pace at the back.
Yesterdays second goal reminded me of the Ipswich second goal.

He's not much use if he doesn't play though however good he is, same goes for Jones. If Manchester United and their sports scientists, doctors, physios etc can't get them playing regular football then barring bringing in some miracle working healer with magic hands you hear stories about the chances of us rectifying the issues are slim to none

SLP suggesting it's Clark. It's barrel-scraping - but maybe he best we can do? Hopefully just a short-term deal. Suppose it'll have to be 12 months though?

Suppose it'll have to be 12 months though? seems the wholehearted type Not a bad thing as we do appear to have a bit of a soft centre at the moment. Too nice and naive. With his experience I’d even consider making him captain.

The key thing for us getting Clark is that he's a left-footed CB. Has covered both in midfield and left-back previously too. Probably a sensible idea out of the Free's available.

I don't mind Clark but I can't say I've seen him knowingly play for about 4 years

Suppose it'll have to be 12 months though? 11 games for Shef U last season scoring 2 goals. Think he's a solid option and one of the better free agents about right now. Plagued with hamstring injuries. Nearly 34. Very little football in him in recent times and, without a pre-season, you never know which way signings like that will go. But suppose you are picking from the damaged goods section with people still a free agent at this stage. From a quick google, doesn't seem to have done bad for Sheff Utd last season though, which is encouraging - albeit less than 700 mins It'll be interesting to see when he's in a position to figure. Neil has mentioned left-footedness as something he's looking for - but there seem to be too many unknowns to even hazard a guess about whether he'll be a meaningful player in the squad, or end up as forgotten as Mark Duffy/Abdallah Sima/Chiquinho....

Clark would be fine for that left sided CH slot.
Any mobile target me without a club as well?

Would have played next to Stevens as well at Sheff Utd so I’m sure they’d have some kind of understanding

I mentioned Jones on deadline day, a poster replied to the exact word that Jones was as injury prone as can be without being certified dead, I remember it word for word as I found it quote amusing haha

If that is the case it does raise the question of why haven't clubs like Luton Town, Sheffield picked him up as he has the pedigree if not the top club talent anymore

I do mean Luton Town have even gone for Ross Barklay because he was a hot prospect at Everton in what seems like the late nineties and done absolutely nothing I'm aware of since

Johnny howson is 35 , but I wouldn't mind him, to add a bit of attitude to our midfield .

At the end of the day it’s mad that we’ve stocked up on certain positions and glaringly neglected the CB situation.
Poor from AN.

And imagine if we'd had one of those three game weeks right now, that happen so often in the season. He'd be trying to get by with Wesley up front for each game. Can't believe we've signed so many players and not nailed down the two most important bits, centre back and striker I'm not happy with the results so far, and not happy with the transfer window tbh, for the above reasons. I'm going to switch off from the club for the foreseeable. I hope they turn things around somehow but I think it's going to be another bleak season to follow the previous 6 shitey seasons.

Konstantinos Stafylidis on that list! Whatever happened to him.. According to that list we paid a €600k for his loan which lasted all of 5 games!
Jese & Pete Etebo on the freebie list aswell! 😉🤣
