Neil sounds like he wants a keeper now if there is one. Undoubtedly He has a reliable back up keeper but he needs a good number one whether that's Travers or some one else If Travers isn't available at all we might go back in for the Leicester player

Talking about replacing him with a free transfer or an 18 year old hardly gave off reliable back up vibes. Thought it was pretty brutal tbh. Where did he say that? Because I could not see that in the interview I read? I saw this tweet from KnotFM AN "We will stick with Jack Bonham for the next couple of games, then we have another break. Any GK you are able to sign at present will be a free agent without any game time. We have a goalkeeper out on loan and will not recall him unless he is going to get minutes" I think that's really harsh.

Could be sledgehammer motivation to try and keep him on his toes.

It's discussed at length in the Mark Travers thread.

If Campbell is going in the Summer then we wait until then to bring in a replacement. Personally I think it's time he went and I believe he intends to. Not getting him to sign a new contract or selling him this Summer was bad business. I must admit I'm not his biggest fan, He's yet to prove he's a regular goalscorer and I'm not overly impressed with his ball control, lack of a roght foot and his box of tricks. It won't be the end of the world for me if he does move on, I believe he can be replaced we look better without him at present

I'd sell Campbell if we can and use that money to buy Travers

I'd sell Campbell if we can and use that money to buy Travers Or Haksabanovic, a little swap deal with Mr Rodgers. For the time being he's useful to bring on as a left footer on the right to mix it up and offer something different

Don't subscribe to this going up to early malarky. If we go up we go up and you deal with it. We're going to struggle whenever (if ever) we go up. We need a keeper in January or we cn forget the playoffs. Yep, I'd much rather be trying to stay in the Premier League than trying to be promoted from the Championship. Got to agree, also the 80+ million in the kitty helps?

We need a centre forward desperately. Abject failure in the market not to get a competent centre forward in. Wesley is gash. Mmee no centre forward.
Also need a keeper- hopefully we’ll do something with Travers.

When people thought it was Archer we were after, I was told it was Philogene and it’s from someone who is spot on. I just think we couldn’t afford him in the end.

After yesterday, we would like a keeper, CB and left back but we absolutely NEED one player;-
1. A strong, aggressive goalscorer to lead the line.

Agreed. He’s very much something we don’t have and need though. I thought he was a winger don’t we have plenty of them. We need a CF ready for when we’re able to get rid of the excuses for CF’s we’ve got atm Gayle out, Wesley out, Mmaee another season to see if he can eventually adapt. Wouldn’t hang my hat on him, looks too much like a Joselu doesn’t like the pace or physicality of English football.

I don’t think Bidace was the answer tbh, very hit and miss even now. I don’t think he’ll become a top player. For that kind of money I think it was wise not to push it too much.

I don’t think he will become a top player but if he carries on as he is now and a PL club want him then they’ll double their money already. 5m is a lot and I get why it was too rich for us but he’s exactly what we don’t have and what we need out wide. And has a big resale potential.

And has a big resale potential. I would have enjoyed watching him I did when he was on loan but I think we covered several wide options for quite a bit less than he went for. I think we were keeping a good chunk of money back for a marquee striker signing but none of our targets came off. I think we underestimated the richness of the market rumour was they’d allocated £5M for a central striker which seemed pretty decent but turned out not to be enough to land any of our targets.
