Kanji Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I think this shows that we need to sign a speedy right sided center back to play with Fab as the first choice next season until Botman is back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I don’t think this changes much in our transfer plans. We needed a CB before the Botman injury. Actually - we might consider 2 CBs. We might actually sign a cheap CB with the intention to bench. And then the primary CB we’ve been scouting for some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I hope we get one top class one in the summer eg Todibo and then one big name on loan from Saudi eg Laporte Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the guy that is supposed to pair with Botman long-term play him obviously on the right side as fab can play both positions seamlessly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 You’re probably looking at Feb/March 2025 before he’d realistically be back and available to play.. and two transfer windows even if our spending is limited, you’d have to say he’s probably kicked his last ball for the club 😔 Yes had some limitations as a player but he has improved massively when called upon in last two seasons. The only blemish on his record was defending Mike Ashley in that interview, aside from that he’s been a model pro here at the club and some leadership in the dressing room and on the pitch when we really needed it.

Joelinton7 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Honestly, people say we’ve fallen off this season. I say it’s a miracle we’re currently sat in 8th and arguably favourites to grab the last Euro spot. We’ve had the roof fall down around us and still managed to keep the rain out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has any team ever, in the history of football, had as much bad luck in one season as we have in this one? Sunderland, apparently,according to the makems on our match thread on RTG yesterday.

SAK Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Did he sign a 1 year extension? If not then this is the end of the road with us and even if he did by the time he recovers he won’t have time to prove his fitness so we’ll let his contract run down. Sad way for it to end for him as he’s been a good servant to the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye he signed the extention (I bet he's chuffed he did) there was rumours he has going into the coaching set up, I wonder if this speeds up that decision Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he has been around a long time but I think my point in my mind it wasn't a thing to compliment him on but as symptom of what was wrong with the club the bumper 6 year deal signed in 2018 (which obviously also had an option to trigger an extra year), has set him up for life. I dont blame him for this as anyone would do the same but at the same time if he was good enough for anyone else he would have been moved on long before now. I dont think being here classes as being a fantastic servant he played a part and got paid well for it, we all know that if FFP didnt exist he would have been pushed off to the glue factory within 2 transfer windows of the take over.

I don't agree with that at all, he's fantastic with the young lads, I know he personally visited the Mileys parents before last seasons trip to the US to reassure them and nobody has ever been anything but positive about hos role as club captain. I can think of loads of players that have milked their time at the club, he's not one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in that time he's been a perfect professional and done a cracking job as captain both on and off the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
