Denzel Zanzibar 6,972 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Seeing as this thread is still open... Read an article suggesting that Ørjan Nyland would be a decent keeper to replace Lumley, and he's a free agent and only 31 so got a good few years left in him. Last played for Bournemouth. I don't know much about him, can anyone (particularly our resident Scandinavians) shine some light as to whether or not he'd be a decent signing? Link to post Share on other sites

Looks prone to injury in recent years. Big no from me. Link to post Share on other sites

TLF10 4,496 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Nyland dropped some real clangers at Villa. Definitely not what we need. I note Sean Morrison at Cardiff is a free agent this summer. Always thought he was one of the better CBs at this level. 31yrs old. Link to post Share on other sites

I think Morrison is out with an ACL so at 31 that's a serious setback. He's also right footed when we could do with a left footed CB, however If he's fully fit and over the injury I'd be tempted assuming that Bamba won't be staying on (although happy if he does).

Denzel Zanzibar 6,972 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Nyland has joined Reading until the end of the season, so I'm guessing we could do better anyway, lol Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,496 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I wonder if we revisit our interest in Matt Clarke of Brighton after his loan at WBA ends. He is the one we went for and apparently was travelling up here until Derby stepped in. He is a left footed CB. Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I don't think there's much point signing a free agent keeper unless he's significantly better than Lumley and Daniels, feels like a waste of money. Nyland was a free agent because he's pretty bang average too, as far as I can tell. Keeper situation needs revisiting in the summer but right now, rocking the boat for rocking's sake seems pointless. Better the devil you know and all that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Changing Times 12,347 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Well he is Irish, so he ticks all the boxes. Didn't we get a bit of a link with him in January when we were also looking at Hendrick and Clark? I seem to remember his name being mentioned then. Link to post Share on other sites

English, Northern Irish and Jamaican, he ticks a few boxes. I remember him being decent for Norwich, so I wouldn't be hugely against it. But we get linked with Newcastle players every single window and nothing ever comes of it. The only one we've signed in the last 3 decades is Sammy Ameobi. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Probably doesn't help that Middlesbrough is a hole compared to Newcastle, it's easier to tempt people from Sunderland because Sunderland is worse. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if Hendrick got the promise of guaranteed football perhaps? Clark didn't go anywhere did he? So he's probably hoping to wangle a Premier League move in the summer still, and maybe feels dropping down to the Championship, and not looking that good, would hinder that.
