We could do worse for a 4th CB Only if we got James Chester back

Forgive me for asking what age you are? Did you by any chance grow up watching John Ritchie? That is really out of date you are! Being six foot is useful but pace is far more important. Modern day strikers have an abundance of pace to run in behind defences. This. Any defenders would rather play against a slow target man than a quick nippy player who isn't going give them a seconds rest. Unless you can find a Haaland type who is both big and strong and rapid (those sort of strikers are impossibly rare) Think I could settle for Alexander Sørloth. Shit, he just scored four against Real Madrid!

Only if Baker is offloaded I think. I liked Baker but think Schu doesn't want him and after looking like he'd come back a new player he futhered off again Be ok with him and Pearson leaving

Basis of a good team We can't start that clown Pearson He's still a very good midfielder, bar the yellows (obligatory reminder that Thompson has an even worse disciplinary record this year). Those who think he's shite wouldn't know a midfielder if he slid into them from behind. But yes, the temperament has been a problem. Knowing how I react myself when I get tired, I still think that if Pearson gets into tip top shape in preseason, he'll be able to handle his temper better, and be vital for us next year. I think that if Schuey sees real application in the physical pre-season, Pearson will do. If he doesn't, get rid. Pearson is horrifically unreliable. You mention Thompson getting more cards but it’s about more than that. Cards in themselves are fine. Not ideal, but as you expect them it’s manageable. But when you look at the large majority of Pearson’s cards they’re entirely avoidable kicks, pushes, arguments. Just petulance really. Thompson has taken cards for the team on a few occasions this season which as a DM you absolutely want them to do. Not to get involved in shite 40 yards away from you because you’re a massive child.

Doesn't help when our centrebacks are, lets just say "less than ideal" and our best goalie is "a howler a game" Nyland.

You didn't counter my point at all, you just spout things you've read on here. So why doesn't Pearson get the same yellows as Thompson in addition to his "petulant" ones? Could it be that it's because he doesn't need to "take one for he team" because he's actually a good DM with positioning skills?

I'm not sure Solbakken is able to get the best out our squad either to be honest.

You don’t need to patronise people telling them they wouldn’t know a decent midfielder if they saw one because they disagree with you. Pearson has never been an overly fit player. Being miserable is more often than not a lack of sleep tired, not fucked because you’ve jogged 25 yards to kick the ball away tired. Happy? In response to this post, Pearson doesn’t get the same cards because he’s rarely close enough to the play to make a challenge because of his fitness.

notts forest centre forward Bayern He would make us worse The last time we had a striker that scored 14 league goals was Fuller. We aren’t going to be bringing in one whose just done that in the league above anyways 😂

I've been banging on about him for weeks. If the Forest manager doesn't want him or wants an upgrade will be the key. Just what we are looking for. We've got to speculate on possible deals like this. Looks like GK secured. Get CW in and Harry and we are nearly there. If Just age and wage, for Woods that is. Souttar i hope we dnt look at. Same as Coady. Viktor is a good signing. Sam McCallum would be another decent bit of business, rumoured to be going Sheffield last i heard. Free.

Big Out and Out striker for me (if they still exist). We had one, his name was Wesley. They are nowhere near as effective these days. He could barely run or jump and had nothing like normal mobility for his age or really and age for a pro athlete. He was less mobile than Fletcher when we let him go and probably still now.

Fuck no. Dinosaur CB who can’t play football, our knuckle dragging fans would even want him on the pitch. Fuck that.

We aren’t going to be bringing in one whose just done that in the league above anyways 😂 Even a half decent one makes the other forwards so much better like Fletcher did. Putting the ball in the net is only a small part of their job. Even if they score 25 goals a season what do you think they’re doing for the other 99% of the time on the pitch nothing? A good goal scorer scores goals a good CF does so much more.

I'd take any of Baptiste, Ghoddos and Goode. No not for me. Stay clear please. Baptiste is a Fosu upgrade and look how that worked out. He’s a sub specialist and has rarely played 90 mins. Goode, is well not very good. Haven’t seen anything in him that would say he would be any higher than a 4th choice CB for us. Choddhas is a utility player that would get hounded at Stoke. No pace and best years behind him.

I'd disagree significantly.... 6 months ago, we would use different langauge but have similar views, about Hoever. I think he got the attacking-defensive balance right, and improved his positining considerably on the run in. You seem to hide from the fact over the last 12 games we gained 21 points and were playing in play off form, hardly the 'unmitetgated bag of shite' you like to shout about. You dont seem to notice that young players grow, get better, and managers realsie how to utilise them better. Last season and beginning of this I thought hoever was defensive liability, end of this season he wasn't. We would loaning/buying the player from the end of this season not the oen from the start of last, not something id choose to spend our money on, but not as batshit crazzy as you are tryign to make out. I'd prefer to develop Junior who is our player rather than Hoever who is Wolves, and I wouldn't want to spend what its goiong to take to buy Hoever, or pay his full wages. With 2 years left on Hoevers contract on over £30,000 pw I cant see a perm deal that would work for us. Hoever hasn’t got better. He’s the same in the 18 months he’s been here. Utter shite on the whole.

Not going to happen. They going to be 2 from a stable of 5 or 6. We will probably bring Cundle in, and replace Johnson or Pearson if we can get rid. Burger, Cundle, Thompson, Baker, Laurent, Sidibe Maybe Replace if possible: Pearson and Johnson. We need two midfielders. Laurent and Baker aren’t good enough to be starting regularly.
