longy Posted 16 August 2023 Share Posted 16 August 2023 Yes please. Hopefully they've bought a more dynamic carrier pigeon to send our offer to Man City and we can conclude this deal a week quicker than normal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lcfcokay Posted 16 August 2023 Share Posted 16 August 2023 I think Southampton get him. Southampton look thin at Cb so defo need him. They have a lot of £££ and have good connections with city… with their DoF being ex citeh academy director. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would tend to agree but he may have a good relationship with EM and be good mates with our other Man City addition (s) 🤞🏼 maybe that has an impact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle27 Posted 16 August 2023 Share Posted 16 August 2023 Would be an unbelievable signing, would not surprise me if West Ham came in for him since pulling the plug on Slab ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbtcity Posted 16 August 2023 Share Posted 16 August 2023 Can’t pretend I’ve seen much of him but from this clip my take aways are superb range of passing, very good in the air, positionally very good and solid in the tackle… was hoping to see a few clips of him hounding down his man in a foot race but there wasn’t any to be seen… he didn’t seem the fastest the few times he seemingly had to open up before flying into a tackle (granted that was solely based on 1 video and YouTube has stitched us up a few times ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 16 August 2023 Share Posted 16 August 2023 Their willingness to sell actually might not be great news for us. If Soton or Leeds turn up with cash and we just offer to loan him and see how it goes, we might find ourselves at the back of the queue. That sounds a lot like it's a long way from close and could go very late in to the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les-tah Posted 16 August 2023 Share Posted 16 August 2023 This signing would make absolute sense and hit the ground running and also be one for the premier league next year and for the next few years and maybe even sell him for huge money. Based on that rudkin wouldnt do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DezFox Posted 16 August 2023 Share Posted 16 August 2023 To be honest, I think we will miss out on a few targets due to Southampton and Leeds having some cash. Annoyingly despite getting our 2 best players out early we seem intent on digging in on all deadwood, not sold ONE player we don’t want yet which is awful. I think it will allow Southampton especially to catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 16 August 2023 Share Posted 16 August 2023 Don't see how we get him. We haven't got the money to buy him out right and his contract is up in the summer so a loan only happens if he signs a new deal. Before any of you say we'll have money when Castagne, Soumare, Daka etc go. Say it out loud and see if it sounds silly and unlikely. Focus has to be on a right winger and then maybe a CB if Souttar and/or Vestergaard go. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone that seems to be leaving are leaving on loan Southampton on the other hand I can see lobbing a few quid about but even then I don’t see them bringing in much more than we will (in terms of cash sales)… are they in a much healthier position financially than us?

Supergray22 Posted 16 August 2023 Share Posted 16 August 2023 We have taken risks in strategy before. If we buy a few improvers now and get them bedded in and aid our promotion bid it might not be a bad thing. If we do get up then they will have had time to bed in and we won’t be scrambling round this time next year when prices will be higher. How brave and committed are we?

StanSP Posted 16 August 2023 Share Posted 16 August 2023 Harwood-Bellis, Doyle, Faes, Coady is a great selection of CBs when they're all fit. Hopefully if we sign THB permanently, it can have us ready for next season too, when the likes of Vestergaard are sold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVFox Posted 16 August 2023 Share Posted 16 August 2023 Got to make this happen, Coady is a great captain but if we go up he will become suspect defensively. Harwood-Bellis is as good an English CB prospect as there is right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westernpark Posted 16 August 2023 Share Posted 16 August 2023 We can’t afford him permanently at the moment. Think Southampton will get him because of this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
