Vinny Green Balls Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 (edited) FFS, so far the transfer record under him has been pretty damn good, but some of you will always ask "oh jesus. What is Eddie doing?" And when they do work out, then suddenly they pretend that they never said anything and get ready to complain about the next transfer window. It's relentless.

Yes we might not have the best academy but it's not terrible, so we should be looking for a few mill for guys we're not looking to keep....just going on some of the dross we've spent money on over the years I wonder if there's a reason why we dont get those offers for ours ? It's possibly that they are just not viewed as being worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 (edited) Kilman is a good player but I don’t see the point in signing another LCB. At least that’s where I’ve seen him play and he is left footed. If we get a RCB too then fine. Ideally id like to see some money left for other areas too that are more important than LCB.

Virtua Stiva Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Kelly has been signed as primarily LB. We struggled at the back last season, makes sense to bolster it properly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also prefer another CM before another LCB. Midfield is massively important and we play with three from the off and lack quality there when it comes to rotation/backup.

Dr Jinx Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Again, such a dumb piece of business if the story is true. Anderson didn’t have a great season but was injured for a lot of it. Terrible time to sell a player when the value would be lower than it should. When he returned at end of season he had a couple of decent games.. he adds something different in the midfield so I’d rather be keeping him to be honest.

Kid Icarus Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I rate Kilman, I'm just not sure how including a player it would be pure profit to sell makes sense as a swap. Unless you can do a bit of creative accounting with it anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Doesn't seem to be confirmed Anderson is the player being offered? Maybe someone's heard it's a Geordie midfielder and made assumptions... I'd be disappointed if it was him, but if it was, it'll be Howe's judgement so I'll go with it. I would expect most people on here to be highly pleased with it judging by his thread. Can't really comment on Kilman. From what I've seen I've liked him and he seems well respected in the game. Could easily picture him being a good signing for us therefore. Superficially it might be like Pope - not an obvious move for our summer but one that looks very important in retrospect. We don't know how dark things are for Botman currently. I'm surprised at people flying off the handle so quickly after today, and I say that as someone who's made queasy by the idea of signing Calvert - I'm firmly against him. All the same, I recommend waiting until we sign them before we actually start griping, and ideally waiting until the whole window is concluded to see what the masterplan is.

Dr Jinx Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I’m not against the idea of Kilman, seems to be a decent player and reads the game well. Just don’t wanna be losing our youth team prospects, unless we have a buy back clause included. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 After decades of seeing most teams playing with two right-footed centre halves, I didn’t realise it was a footballing crime to play with two left-footed centre halves. I hope centre mids and centre forwards take note - I’ve seen enough midfields with two right footers, but there better not be any left footers looking to team up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schar played on the left of a pair when Lascelles came in and Schar was excellent. Its very much over-done. Edited June 22 by STM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingArthur Posted Sunday at 05:13 Share Posted Sunday at 05:13 Surely this would be done in a seperate deals? They pay x amount for Andersson and we pay x+y for Kilman? Makes no sense to do a swap deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
