Love these sorts of posts!! Completely out of nowhere 

 

Is he any good with his feet? 

According to AI "Celton Biai is a ball-playing goalkeeper known for his composure on the ball and his ability to act as an extra passing option for his team."

 

Never heard of him tbh but ex Portugal youth and hopefully should be able to kick without sticking it into the stands!

Interesting. He's good with the ball at his feet from what I gather so would fit our profile.

[FoxinNotts]

It always amazes me, the amount of time we seem to take to implement our transfer strategy.

 

To quote Roy Keane "that's his job" - Whoever that is, has a very privileged position. A job many, many people would absolutely love.

 

For the love of god, get on with it!!

But is he any good at keeping the ball out of the net?

So going to do a bit of a thread on here over the next few days with regards to potential targets if anyone is interested. Always loved scouting, so thought I would do a bit of a project, scouting every position barring right back for a Russel Martin system. I will post them by position group and rank them in order. I scouted leagues which I feel are realistic for us to buy from and only used players that are realistic in price, market demand and under the age of 26 for sell on value. The leagues I scouted are Swedish Allsvenskan, Belgium Pro League, Austiran Bundesliga, Czech First League, Scottish Premiership, Norway Eliteserien, League One and League Two.

Cursory Google suggests he's actually relatively competent at that too – seems to rank fairly highly amongst Eerste Divisie keepers

Freckleton signed for LASK today.

 

Like the Eriksson shout. Scandinavia is littered with ball-playing centre backs, especially in Sweden and Norway.

Huge shame that, it was very close between him and Eriksson for my favourite centre back. How much did he go for?

very underrated player. Would not be surprised to see him in the top 5 European leagues in a few years. 

[LcFc_Smiv]

Pierce Charles going to Man City and then out on loan, any chance he could end up here with our tenuous Man City links.

Lawrence is a giant as well

I think we'll mainly have a few frees and a few loans. Maybe 1 or 2 transfer signings(striker has to be one of them).

 

It tricky, as we want a fresh start, but the club won't able to afford new players and keeping some of the higher paid ones around.

 

I Ideally you'd need:

 

GK

 

at least 2 CB

Left back

At RB I'd like to see Aluko and Joseph being given a chance.

 

A new midfield (assuming most of it goes)

2 or 3 wingers

 

2 maybe 3 strikers. I'd like to see a variation in type. 

 

Then we have some good young players to fill out the squad

Evans, Brayborook, Cartwright, Gray, Page, Assuming theres others too.

 

I think Chaplin will be a half decent start if its true.

 

 

[Happy Fox]

Dom Ballard has a £5m price tag we should be all over that imo.

Way too good for league one. 
 

Can see him going Hull or Cov

Connor Chaplin and Archie Collins very easy deals that should’ve already been done.

 

Bit odd that it’s dragging out with Chaplin.

No. He already performed well at Championship level with Sheffield Wednesday so despite their plight, he personally was very good. He will be looking for a full season (had a lengthy injury last season) in the Championship.

Jamie Lawrence - 22 and 6ft5, if he's been on Bayerns books he must be worth a punt?

He looked promising when I was watching him to be fair. The only reason he is the lowest on the list is because on the ball at times he looked a little uncomfortable, hard to gauge because of how long his legs are! He looks a bit like a giraffe sprinting at times and not in the best of ways either

Yup! They are all decent size to be honest, it was one of my requirements to handle the direct nature of league 1. A few players easily would have made this list but were less than 6ft which I think would get found out in the league.
