Nathan Jones’s search for defensive reinforcements has turned to a Premier League centre-back, the Sentinel understands. As usual The Sentinel mentions no Premier League centre backs, only the centre backs we have on the books already. And Ashley Williams can’t fall into that bracket any more as he’s a free agent. Oh dear. Free agent you say? I see a pattern emerging 😫 |

Tomas Kalas would be my guess, seems to be available for a permanent transfer.

Someone from Norwich, Sheff Utd or Aston Villa.

Whoever it is, it seems to be a fair way down the line already.

I predicted that Williams would be our first signing of the summer, I was hoping I was wrong but wouldn't surprise me if he is, Laurel and Hardy still pulling the puppets strings if he is, young = no, vibrant = no, pacy = no, free = yes will we get it over the line you bet we will already sorted is my guess.

All this rumour and gossip about Centre Backs, Defensive Midfielders, sub premier league players and Harry Artur is a deception strategy to wind up or aggravate the fans, so that when we do actually make a reasonable surprise signing everyone will just be relieved and reasonably happy.

We were interested in Kalas last season. He’s the type we should be going for. Really rate Mings but he’s good enough for the PL.

Looking through the list. One of (tried to keep it realistic): Axel Tuanzebe James Chester Tyrone Mings Kortney Hause Steve Cooke Dan Burn Jake Clarke-Salter Tomas Kalas Matt Miazga Kenneth Omeruo Fikayo Tomori Scott Dann Ashley Williams Wes Morgan Ciaran Clark Sean Raggett Richard Stearman Craig Cathcart Ryan Bennett The huge number of possibilities mentioned throughout this thread, together with the varying comments for and against, underlines that this forum would be well nigh useless as a scouting/recruitment team. They would never be able to whittle down the list to an agreed recommendation. |

Plucking a name out of the air and then moaning about him doesn't really solve anything. Let's see who actually signs and see them perform.

He isn't a Premier League centre back he's a free agent, Sentinel states itt a potential transfer. It's not Williams. |

Tomas Kalas would be my guess, seems to be available for a permanent transfer. You would think so, lots of championship experience seems to have been a regular while on loan at Brizzle and Fulham. Such serious interest must mean a CB going surely. |

We really don’t need a centre back. Disagree, Indi is dog shit, Collins may or may not be ready, Souttar I know nothing about, can he step up? Shawcross is on the wain and Batth is a bit limited although he came in and did a good job for us, I think there's plenty of space for another to come in. |

If it’s Williams then we know that Scholes and Cartwright are dictating the transfer business. Did they force Jones to play him too? |

Honestly he's the best centre back prospect I've seen at Stoke. Souttar won rave reviews at Fleetwood ,we need to have a look at him now. However if Bruno goes one more in makes sense |

However if Bruno goes one more in makes sense I’m not sure it does. It will mean one of the younger ones will almost certainly have zero opportunity. And who’s going to sign and be happy being fourth choice and if Collins is fourth choice then the manager needs his head looking at. It’s a tough one but he’s got to use Collins. |

Take BMI (I'd imagine he's off) and Williams out of the equation, we've got 3 CBs. 1 of which, albeit immensely talented, is very raw and inexperienced.
Shawcross, Batth, Collins, New CB.
Don't see the problem?

We'll use five centre backs in a season at least. Wouldn't be adverse to Souttar going out on loan again Edit: yes Collins (if we keep him) has to be given games. Might need a break later. |

At the end of the day, it’s the 1st day of the transfer window. Unless it has been specifically confirmed by the club that we are in contract negotiations with a named player it’s all guess work. Lazy journalism designed to sell papers and inflame opinion.
It happens every transfer window and it always gets a reaction. Patience is a virtue.

And then having 4/5 front line CBs unless you plant to use a back 3 more often than not is ott. Surely it’s do or die for Souttar? I’d want to be sold if I was him and I was told it was another loan. Agreed re Collins. I’d like to think of everything went right he’d play 30 games. |
