p_mards 1,363 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 The Telegraph are linking us and QPR with Rangers' Jack Simpson. He's a left footed CB so sounds exactly what we need in defence to add balance there. At 24 year old he's the right age also. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I'd take a punt on Andreas Maxsø from Denamrk. Contract is running out so will be available for around 1 million. Plays comfortably in a back three, can use both feet and very good on the ball. But with Fry coming back I can't see us paying for a central defender even if we should move Hall on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

GrimsbyBoro 1,959 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I guess if we go for the two for each position then the squad would need 6 CB’s. Wilder has been talking about January and is quoted in the gazette as saying “Listen, there might be some deals at the back end of the window, but we’re working on deals now to be ready for that FA Cup game at Mansfield, which is the first possible game. We want the majority or as much of the business done for then, or certainly in time for the first league game after that.” Can’t help but think good luck with that - it’s the type of rhetoric we here every window. This will be an early test for the new guys behind the scenes and perhaps a barometer of where things really are in the new golden age. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

He's mentioned how good his contacts are with the top teams and about utilising the loan market. Those teams will want their players to go out as early as possible in Jan to get a chance to work their way into the team early enough to make a real impact in the second half of the season, so it makes sense for everyone involved to get them out on the 1st of Jan.

Duvel 2,446 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 If you are playing with overlapping centre backs I'm sure Howson and McNair could fill in if we had injuries as could most full backs. We don't need 6 in the squad, you'd never keep everyone happy. Link to post Share on other sites

Forest are only a point below us right now, and could easily be ahead of us by January. They are now above us. Get him recalled. Link to post Share on other sites

I made this point before but he had Connell as a left sided CB and went and got Jack Robinson and at his unveiling said we need Robinson because if we lose Connell people can come in but it affects the balance of the team. So I think in an ideal world he wants 2 for each positon and if we unfortunate and lose 2 players from same position then he will accept someone will need to “fill in” Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_Maz 2,899 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 i wouldn't be surprised if we try to swap Hall for a left footed CB in the squad Link to post Share on other sites
