Maybe they'll get lucky and go out on loan to a country where the window is still open The League of Ireland is still open but I doubt if anyone would want Ciaran Clark 😃 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Hayden is injured Clark turned us down - says a lot about him Lewis - he's the one nufc player Id have taken in the window Why would you have Lewis who also turned down a loan? Surely it “says a lot about him” too. Link to post Share on other sites

Well I would turn down Birmingham!! 😂 But yeh I guess same comment applies to him as Clark. Only difference is we are a genuine promotion chance compared to Birmingham and he'd have to move house to play for them. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Just looking at the out of contract players in the summer and there is a few that really standout. I'm thinking with a realistic cap on, so unfortunately that rules out the likes of Mbappe, Pogba, Dybala and Jed Wallace. Also bare in mind a few of the these players do have rumours doing the rounds that they are to be offered new deals at their current clubs (I'll put a little asterisk against those). I'm also judging the players on purely what I've witnessed of them as opposed to delving into their stats. I'm also assuming we are still in the Championship, although a few on the list I reckon would be decent if we did get promoted. * GK - Alex McCarthy - Seems a decent PL level keeper to me. Had a weird semi fallout with Hasenhuttl last season, but is seemingly No.1 again. Would he be willing to drop down a division and likely take a wage drop too. * CB - Romain Saiss - Importantly a left footed centre half. Also has been playing very well for a number of years in a Wolves system that relies heavily on a back 3. Similar to McCarthy would he be willing to drop down. CB - Jack Stephens - One time Boro loanee, comes across as an unspectacular but very reliable player. Can also play at the heart of defence or midfield. LWB - Ghislain Konan - If Taylor was at the defensive end of a wing back spectrum and Jones at the offensive side, Konan would be somewhere in the middle of it. Plays in a system with wing backs for Reims. Also put some good performances in at AFCON recently too. CM - Pascal Groß - Whenever I watch Brighton Groß always seems to be a real energetic presence in midfield. Likes to get forward, feels like he's more of a creative force rather than an actual goal scoring threat. ST - Danilo - Bit more of a punt this, he's a relatively small striker, bit in the mould of Connelly/Watmore. But was in pretty good goalscoring form whilst on loan at Twente last season. Seems to be a decent enough finisher and appears to have some intelligent movement. Think he was recently linked with Hull, so think he'd definitely be in our price range.

El1986 111 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Well. Let’s hope when the next transfer window thread opens. We’re talking about which players we need to buy, to stay in the Premier League 😁 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Hasn't exactly impressed in the limited minutes he has had either. Maybe he'll come good with an extended run it's silly to write off any professional football player. Indeed Connelly for starters!

Groß and Saiss are just as unrealistic as Pogba and Mbappe. There is no chance either of them will drop down to the Championship. It’s probably a different story if we go up this season though, even then I would expect them both to stay at their respective clubs given how important they are! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Luton's Adebayo out of contract in the summer according to transfermarkt, he had a good game against us and on 11 for the season Vydra available in the summer as well Edited February 4, 2022 by LBP 1 Link to post Share on other sites
