It either means he is unaffordable for them or that he is done with the Championship. Can we afford a keeper from Leicester that's just done well in the Championship? It'd probably be £3m+. I'm sure we could afford it, but it's whether it's worth the limitations it puts on our transfer spending in other positions. He's young, and there'd be scope for selling him on in the future if he's a success. Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think we need him when you have Coburn and Watmore either this, I don't think we need to sign more than two strikers as Coburn and Watmore have both shown they're more than capable back up's. Especially, Coburn, he scored 4 in 18 in the league despite only starting 3 of those games. Also only played 471 minutes, which is the equivalent to 5 full matches. so based on minutes played he pretty much has a goal a game record and is our most prolific scorer.

Can we offer higher wages than PNE? Almost certainly. I don't see Iversen replacing Schmeichel anytime soon so another loan is probably best for him. I'm not a fan though. His shot stopping is pretty good but his distribution is awful, which goes against everything Wilder wants in a keeper. We really need an established championship keeper or an experienced PL keeper who wants regular game time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Wilder has said he likes to have three strikers on the bench. I agree that Coburn & Watmore are both good backups for different reasons. I can't help but feel I'd like Coburn to go out on loan to get regular football. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I very much doubt that Leicester are only looking at 3 million with decent experience from League 1+2 and the Championship with good reviews and he's also been called up to the Danish team just in March. I'd be surprised if they are looking at less than 5 million, and I'd also be surprised if he'd want to go on loan in the Championship again. That wouldn't bring him any closed to the Leicester team.

RiversideRed 1,216 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Gibson coming back is inevitable. It's just a case of when. I'd rather leave it for now and sign someone cheaper as he'll cost a sizeable chunk of money. They signed him for £8m last summer so we'd be looking at £6m or so to bring him back. I don't think he suits Wilders system and style that much too. It's got to be a good deal, so something like £3m/£4m which won't happen. Leave it and sign him next summer. He'll be in the last year of his contract and we can get him on the cheap. Sign him in Summer 2023, he'll be 30 and we can get a solid 3-4 years out of him. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

My rationale for this that how much it cost us to bring in 3 strikers above the level of Coburn/Watmore? Unless we can land a couple on free's/loans, they'd likely eat up the majority of any budget we're going to have. Edited May 19, 2022 by tmcc Link to post Share on other sites

I said £3m+. The record fee for a goalkeeper signed in the Championship is £6m Iversen has had one and a half seasons at a mid-table Championship club. I'd be much more surprised if he thought he was going to be playing at a Premier League club next season. Schmeichel won't be retiring for at least another few years either.

Maybe look at someone like Cameron Archer on loan too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He's still only young in keeper terms at 24, and had only had one full season at Championship level at a mid to lower level championship side. League 1 ad 2 experience doesn't mean much, just look at the number of young keepers we've had who did well at those levels not to make it. I think a loan to a promotion/playoff pushing championship side is his most likely destination next season or maybe he'll try and get on the bench at leicester. Link to post Share on other sites

Essuuaitch 330 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 regarding keepers, someone i think may be a decent shout is Matt Ryan. he looked good two seasons ago at brighton but struggled at arsenal . hes a solid reliable and experienced keeper, commanding and experienced. unfortunately the stumbling block would be wages. and hes australian which has worked before. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Stats wise even Lumley wasn't far off him in alot of categories. Although they didn't survive, Arminia keeper Stefan Ortega is a very good keeper playing behind a properly *** defence Edited May 19, 2022 by nunthorpered Link to post Share on other sites
Foogle 2,078 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I'd definitely have Gibson back if Fry is sold, but not convinced he'd fill in the LCB role very well. Link to post Share on other sites
