I mean I wouldn't say either of them are competent and proven at the level. I'd say they've played in the Championship and that's about it. Link to post Share on other sites

A free agent signing or two that are competent and proven at this level would fill fans with confidence. Sam Johnstone Alfie Mawson Harry Toffolo John Swift Joe Rothwell Josh Bowler all announced next week… can dream right 😂 2 Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Feel like Wilder needs a Leadbitter - a general on the pitch to raise the levels of others. Jonny's had a great season... But I sometimes wonder if we need someone a bit tougher and nastier in that central position to take the game by the throat when we're up against it. How often do we go to pieces and concede again straight after conceding one. No players springs to mind, others probably know better than me... But maybe a League 1 captain who can make the step up? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Bowler was signed on a free last summer and was only given a one-year contract but the club have the option for a further year. The same applies to Toffolo with Huddersfield having the option to extend. Rothewell or Swift would add some real quality to midfield and would see the end of Crooks. Johnstone I think will go Premiership and I'm unsure on what will happen to Mawson. Link to post Share on other sites

Haven’t really seen much of Mawson at Fulham to be honest just remember him when he came onto the scene and was talked up for England etc. Might come under the hungry with something to prove. On another note while typing hungry my autocorrect changed it to ginger 😂 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ManBearPig 1,833 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Ridiculous to send Payero out on loan. He’s shown against Cardiff that he can compete at Championship level in my opinion. This one screams at a not fancied by Wilder and we’re happy to derail the director of football model as he’s not convinced by him. I am actually worried that we have learnt absolutely nothing if we plan on getting rid of him. If it’s a case of getting him up to speed in an English league then fair enough, but if it’s abroad then he’s a gonna. 6 Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Sam Johnstone: Zero chance. He off to PL to sign one final lucrative contract Mawson: Dont see a need for him as he not left footed and he not better than Paddy, Dijk or Fry for other spots. Toffollo: Can see him having PL interest if Hudds dont go up. Swift: Possibility if Crooks or Tav leaves Rothwell: See Swift Bowler: Blackpool just activated a 1yr extension today on him.

He'll be fine as a backup or in the bottom half of the Prem. Keepers I think we should be looking at are; - Gavin Bazunu (Loan) - Daniel Bentley (Contract Expires in 2023) - Daniel Ward - Karl Darlow - Bartosz Bialkowski (Contract Expires in 2023) - Matt Ingram - Backup/Starter GK (Free Agent) - David Marshall - Backup GK (Free Agent) I try to keep potential signings quite realistic.

Skinemrippers 894 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Yesterday we were told by an insider that Payero was told he could leave, today it’s that he can go on loan. I don’t think anyone really knows to be honest. Maybe Forest can take him and we can sell him for £20m the following season? 😉 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,043 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) I hope we nurture payero and get him back firing as he showed against Cardiff if we get him inform he is one of the best players in this division. I'm excited and looking forward to him being involved in the side. Think he could provide the creative spark finding that final ball we badly miss. I think Sporar would of got alot more goals if payero was fit and playing providing assists 6 Link to post Share on other sites

From the little I seen of payero he looked better than mcgree. He even looked OK against West Brom in a 442 with mcnair. Let's see which plodder wilder fancies to replace him with hopefully he can run through brick walls for us. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
GrimsbyBoro 1,956 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Really think the Cardiff game is getting over played. He played well for 20 minutes of that game near the end. He did take his goal very well. Before that he didn’t look anything special. I would give him preseason before deciding his future as he has had injuries and a need to adjust to a different culture.
