After what he produced last season and how he’s started this season, maybe this is the summer someone takes a chance on him. Prime age, would probably cost around the £5 million range, potential there to be a shrewd pickup. He can also take set pieces! Set piece specialist is the kicker, excuse the pun. We badly need a weapon. 3

Of players you’ve mentioned in recent days, Besfort Zeneli would give us that too. Ideally the possibility of a new 8 or BEK’s replacement if he does go, needs some set piece ability. 1
FoxFossil Posted 9 August 2025 Posted 9 August 2025 Brum fouled everyone yesterday and ref let it go. Need Bouba sized CM to kick em into row Z. Oh we've got a Bouba sized CM, just needs some Hamza style 'loves a tackle' coaching.
cityfanlee23 Posted 9 August 2025 Posted 9 August 2025 (edited) Copy and pasted from my post in the the Mads Hermansen thread that is now locked: Jakub was ideally a ready made replacement under Ruud/Cooper, is he a ready made replacement under Marti-ball? his distribution and passing under pressure is his biggest weakness. Honestly, I'd love Jakub to prove me wrong as I think he's prem potential in most systems, but he's yet to show he is good enough on the ball so can only hope he improves. Jakub has a pass accuracy of 51%, long ball accuracy of 30%. As much as I want us to stand with Wednesday and the thought of them being asset stripped in their current situation is awful, Pierce Charles is far better on the ball and imo is going to be a top 6 goalkeeper for years to come when he escapes Wednesday. Would be cheap given their situation, Pass accuracy of 76%, 52% long ball accuracy, Goals prevented 2.4 (Jakub -0.62 albeit at a higher level) Pierce charles is the real deal. I hope Jakub can be too. https://www.fotmob.com/en-GB/players/1096327/jakub-stolarczyk https://www.fotmob.com/en-GB/players/1420144/pierce-charles There are now faint rumours we are in for Pierce Charles. Edited 9 August 2025 by cityfanlee23
JimJams Posted 9 August 2025 Posted 9 August 2025 Buy him and loan him back. When Begovic sees out his 1 year contract we've got Charles and Jakub to look at after a season of champ level football. 4

When Begovic sees out his 1 year contract we've got Charles and Jakub to look at after a season of champ level football. That's way too logical for us. Would be an ideal move to secure a bright talent and then have gain experience in the Championship for a season before joining us to provide competition.

Bluearmyfox28 Posted 9 August 2025 Posted 9 August 2025 I don’t want to re-bump the Brownhill thread but with Marti’s comments about having enough options in the middle, it really makes me believe they are going all in on him. 1
Tommy Fresh Posted 10 August 2025 Posted 10 August 2025 (edited) Posted this guy an absolute load but if El-Khannous leaves then please throw cash at Penarol @Ric Flair covers the set piece specialist you want as well Edited 10 August 2025 by Tommy Fresh 1 1
AjcW Posted 10 August 2025 Posted 10 August 2025 I think a lot of activity will ramp up across the market from Monday. Prem teams have no finished their pre seasons, squads assessed and potential loaned out players being told that’s their plan for this season. Similarly anyone who had been given a “chance” might well be transfer listed now after pre season games.
moore_94 Posted 10 August 2025 Posted 10 August 2025 A centre mid to play next to Winks and Richard Kone 2
Simonb Posted 10 August 2025 Posted 10 August 2025 Quite liked the look of their number 18 today.. cadematri was it? Strong, aggressive, won everything in the air .. skied his only shot though but certainly had a few attributes we could utilise Ideally rather more of a goal threat but with this kind of physicality though

kingfox Posted 10 August 2025 Posted 10 August 2025 Tochi Chukwuani(Sturm Graz) or Caleb Yirenkyi(Nordsjaelland) Then one of Arthur Avom(Lorient), Mamadou Sangare(Rapid Wien), Besfort Zeneli(Elfsborg), Otto Rosengren(Malmo) All players who can play as 8’s with some defensive nous!
