Exactly this....football is football, it's not like there's different rules in every other league. He should focus on how a player will integrate with the current lot and work as part of a team. PL experience does not mean good...Ciaran Clarke has PL experience, and we've all seen how well thats worked out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example we have seen Digne move to Villa, do we now look at Targett? Arsenal are looking at CMs, is there someone there who we could look at? I think alot of our work later in the window needs to be off the back of a fluid situation at other clubs. Arsenal start Partey and Lokongo, who theyve just signed. Id take either of those, which wont happen. Then they have Xhaka and Elneny.... Aaand nope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

worthy Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 1 minute ago, Mr Raspberry Jam said: For a quick fix there's nothing wrong with that. I think the "Premier league experience" quip is so outdated in the sense that people deem players flops, they go away, come back to play for another team in other systems and the player suddenly plays well when used correctly. In this case I think we need a proper mentalist to push on the rest of the team and rope it in, regardless if that player has so-called PL proven antics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 25 minutes ago, STM said: If we were forced into signing a CB from the PL. Would Rafa be tempted with a decent bid for Micheal Keane? P.S Don't scoff, we have to think like the club might think. We also don't have a chance of Burnleys centre backs, so that's gone. I can't see Wolves letting Coady go. We may end up with Phil Jones at this rate. Keane has been absolutely shite this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the sort of player. If we’re talking about getting players on the basis of being big lads who can handle a windy night at stoke then aye fair fucks. If it is, don’t sign slow Fannies who will get bullied every week, well that is the nature of a relegation battle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I don’t see what’s wrong with signing players to keep us up. Sure, try and get some long term talent in from abroad but they will likely take time to adapt and we don’t have much of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBez comesock Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I keep thinking we will end up with Nat Phillips from Liverpool Another - Ok signing but nothing spectacular Would be alright if it’s alongside another centre back (if botman or Carlos) or one of the other top centre half targets A ball player type as Phillips seems like the no nonsense / Terry type Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonBez comesock Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Ps - I am not saying I want Nat Phillips I just get the feeling we might end up with him A bit like we have with Chris Woods Stop gaps - that might keep us up personally I would aim higher , and it looks like we are but it seems to be proving very difficult I have the same feeling in regards to a midfielder - I can see us getting Cantwell , although I actually rate him (I know a lot of people don’t ) I would like him alongside a Fofana or De Beek or Kamara we need a very solid CDM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotic Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Second time in two weeks we've been linked with Jordan Veretout, and I think he'd be good for this campaign - a basic bitch, no-frills, hard-driving box 2 box midfielder who likes to get forward and has a great shot on him. He's like a Deschamp-lite water carrier (in the best way). Trouble is whether he would be up for another relegation fight. The last time at Villa, he played 30 games in their relegation season before he was shipped out. @brummie can tell us more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Chronicle - Newcastle 'in pole' position to sign Boubacar Kamara Newcastle United and West Ham United are reportedly 'in pole' position to sign Marseille midfielder Boubacar Kamara when his contract expires in the summer transfer window. That's according to Corriere dello Sport, who claim that the Magpies and the Hammers are set to battle for his signature, although Eddie Howe was supposedly keen on the 22-year-old this month.

SiLvOR Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 If true, we should do whatever it takes to get him in now, rather than the summer. Obvious statement, but you'd assume everyone at the club would think the same way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
