A young left footed centre back that’s good enough to win us promotion will cost us 7 figures and be incredibly difficult to find one as everyone is playing 3 at the back so their value has gone up and there will be a lot of competition. I think for defenders as well I would prefer the age rage 25-29 rather than our usual aim to sign younger playersRedhenry said:We need to find the quality, age and affordability, it is out there...1 -
I don’t think we can afford to have such specific requirements for a players age. A good left footed CB could be right for us whether they’re 19 and on loan or a 30 year old free agent.NabySarr said:

As plenty of other clubs are playing 3 at the back that’ll mean the players are out there. Which smaller clubs are playing a similar formation in L1? Which L2 clubs doing well have a good left footed CB?0 -
Look at all the people making out like Sarr wasn't a major part of a promotion squad, isn't it cute8

How many?0

Rudoni is their big prospect and the player they believe will be their first £1m player according to my Don’s supporting mate.Callumcafc said:

Like Scully, he probably isn’t a natural fit due to our formation not accommodating them (winger for Scully, no. 10 for Rudoni). In that case, we would have to be confident that we have a clear plan to utilise them before signing otherwise we are going to end up in the same boat this time next year with good young players but nowhere to fit them in.
Scully strikes me as a second striker type, lots of running and pace, an eye for a finish. Whereas Rudoni might be better in a deeper role where his pretty feet would serve better - would need to put on some weight though.
Maybe relegation will now impact that price but I don’t see Sandgaard playing £0.5-1m for a player who doesn’t really fit the system0 -
You means like Chuks Aneke & Harry Arter?J BLOCK said:
But both not good enough for the championship. TS has said we are building for the long term, bringing back bang average players to the club won't help.NabySarr said:Lockyer and Sarr both out of contract. Would both be brilliant signings for this level. I reckon both will get a championship deal but maybe Naby and JJ relationship could work in our favour as we really need a couple of left sided centre backs that are comfortable on the ball as Purrington/Famewo don’t quite cut it0 -
Personally one I’d want in on loan is Callum Wright.
He was superb at ours and has done really well at Cheltenham, so L1 experience, scores goals and would fit the advanced midfield role.0 -

poeple mentioning Sarr, I’d rather keep Famewo if I’m honest , I think Lavelle might come good next season too, also Clare has been quality at the back, we need probally 2 more options as Pearce hasn’t got another season in him and Innis is too unreliable. Saying that maybe young Deji might be ready to break through next season, I know he is only 18 but not much seems to have been said about him since looking promising early doors. Maybe we should blood him for the last games of this season if he’s fit.0

Not everyone is a football visionary. While some of us are admiring runs from our overlapping centre backs, others are demanding a “back to basics” 4-4-2.Leuth said:Look at all the people making out like Sarr wasn't a major part of a promotion squad, isn't it cute
They want to see Captain Pearce start every game for his organisation and no nonsense style. Talk of Sarr coming back is laughable to them.
In the summer their key signing is a balding midfield hard man from Fleetwood or Morecambe to play alongside Dobson.
Promotion would be all but guaranteed if we replaced Jackson with Neil Warnock. Unfortunately he’s retired but we have a good second choice, Mick McCarthy.

Because they are both ex players and love the club. Obviously. 🙂Scoham said:Why would either drop down to League 1?2 -
I wouldn't rule out any ex player, bar Thuram. I just wonder if any other fanbase is this obsessed with players after they leave.cafcfan1990 said:
I agree generally, but equally why rule out ex players purely because they've played for us previously? That's nonsense too. So you wouldn't want Pope in goal next season, or Konsa and Gomez at CB? Grant up top?Croydon said:
Naby wasn't good here the first time round, and if he'd improved at all he'd be playing regular football somewhere. We romanticise ex players far too much, usually based on how likeable they are as a personExiled_Addick said:

Kirk was £0.5m which by my estimate is 50% of the £1m price rumoured for Rudoni… so yeah I don’t see Tommy paying that … ok 👍🏼Cafc43v3r said:

I would imagine people are throwing names in that they are familiar with. The knowledge pool for your standard fan is going to be limited to players that previously played for your club or ones that you remember had a decent game against you.Croydon said:

There are many ways to play but not all players who notionally play in the same position are just interchangeable.0 -

The biggest problem with our squad isn't balance of positions it's balance of roles. Last season Millar used to, regularly, move the whole team 20 or 30 yards up the pitch. Kirk couldn't do that. We have got all the positions but not all the attributes.0 -
Lol on people passing up on players like Sarr and Lockyer, because "they're not good enough for the championship".
We're a middling League 1 club, and anything Sandgaard said about recruitment policy can be disregarded, he also said last summer with the players we brought in we won't need a full upheaval of the squad every year anymore, and yet we all look at the squad and see the need for 6 or 7 first XI players and a couple of decent squad players to even be in with a shout of promotion. Sign the players we need for now, and if you thank them and move them on when you get promoted then so be it.
Moot point anyway as there's no chance they'll come back as they'll be on a 3-5 times the amount we paid them previously, and won't want to drop a division, especially to play in a team that will, yet again, be going through a full rebuilding process5 -
I commented on this and gave a 3/10 for all the reasons we now know. Let’s hope it becomes a 6/7 in reality.Scoham said:0 -
