The season before, also 27 in 46. The season before that, he only managed 17. He doesn't appear to be a player that you're going to get a full season out of, ever.

Sounds like a fantastic replacement for Ayala, let's give him a 4 year deal and 25k a week and he could also be a replacement for Gestede, 2 replacements for the price of 1! 😁 Link to post Share on other sites

In the two seasons sandwiching his injury he played 34 and 30 - and had he not sat out post restart he could have had up to 39. But yes, Grant Hall also missed a lot of games. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We could be close to signing A Trialist soon I was not criticising anyone. It seemed a few were claiming @diggerlad07 maybe have said something he did not so was merely defending another poster from POSSIBLE unfair criticism. Agree all info is welcome. No criticism from me of anyone who provides info with an honest belief. Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 We'll probably enquire about 50 different players this summer with the majority not happening. That doesn't mean to say people are posting false rumours, sometimes deals just don't go through. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

I know you weren't but for most of us which includes myself are probably fed up to the back teeth with it all now and simply want to see some decent posts and comments hopefully with substance. I mean how long can you flog a dead horse hoping for some reaction? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Far too much financial implecations involved and far too many areas we need sorting out I couldn't agree more regarding Gibson deal. It's a extremely risky move by us holding out for a loan deal. If/when Burnley get a perm offer then he will go elsewhere and we will back to square one. As much as Gibbo wants to come back and has said he will take a pay cut, he can't wait around forever as well after 2 years of not playing. The hold up in the deal apparently is Fry refusing to move for a 3rd consecutive transfer window, so we can only afford a loan deal with the £4million we are owed - let's hope something changes on that front rather quickly.

RiversideRed 1,216 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) Norwich City are in talks with Burnley to sign Ben Gibson on loan. https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-norwich-city-open-talks-to-sign-burnley-record-signing/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites
RiversideRed 1,216 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Birmingham also trying to sign Neil Etheridge from Cardiff. Surely he wouldn't be a bad shout for Boro? Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder which of our young talents we'll flog to them in 2 years time when we want to bring Fry back. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
