It could possibly be Vydra, but wages would be a sticking point. Nakhi Wells maybe? I don't know, as I say i will find out hopefully. I just hope it an attacking player and not a position that we don't really need, we're pretty good at that you see haha. It could also be Matthew Lowton Link to post Share on other sites

Tbh I think if we get £20m for fry that’s astonishing business, yes he’s got potential but wasn’t even nailed on starter last season. As someone said earlier snap their hands off. Linjo3. I got to disagree with you on Ben Mee. Very underrated performer who has more than held his own in PL for 3 seasons now. And it is his form which is sole reason Gibson did not get a sniff last season. Although i would much rather take an attacker from Burnley. Vydra would be good but given JW said he wants to play 4.3.3 not sure where Vydra would fit in. Unless Britt leaves then he could be our new no.9. I would love that Gudmundsson too. He very effective on either flank but doubt Burnley would be selling him Link to post Share on other sites
Essuuaitch 330 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) about a 20th .....is what my gut says . but there again were highly unlikely to get it all in one upfront payment anyway. speaking of Burnley players within our scope id be happy with Barnes despite his age he,d still be a handful at this level .

Yes we were but i think he their regular right back. Bardsley as understudy. Or is it other way round. Defo take Lowton though. He reminds of Luke Young in that he just a very solid RB both defensively and offensively without being spectacular 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Maccarone 265 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Lowton is 30 surely we have enough older players as it is. What about the brave new revolution. Link to post Share on other sites

2plus2 290 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) If there's truth to a £20m bid for Fry, then there should be no decision to be made. He's a good defender, plenty of potential - and there's no doubt that down the line he could end up being worth a lot more. However; £20m to a Championship club, in a playing position where we are already reasonably well stocked, with finances tight and when we desperately need to invest in at least one winger. Sell. Asap. Because for any side willing to spend that amount on Fry at this exact moment in time... it's a punt. This is controversial too, but I actually think Flint might be in for a relatively good season. I stress relatively, as his clumsiness and lack of finesse is definitely a concern. But most good Championship clubs would be more then content to have Ayala and Flint. Plus Wood, Shotton and McNair if opportunity strikes. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
