If we go for grimmer I’d see him as an addition to the defence, not a replacement for small. Small’s value was that he could go past players - grimmer cant do that but looked a bloody difficult player to get past - TC is currently the only player in the squad who can run at defenders and we need at least 2 morerobinofottershaw said:
That was my thinking. I checked back at Wycombe’s team formations over the course of the season per the BBC and when they played 3 centre backs he has been part of a midfield 4 and has also played RCB in a 3.DOUCHER said:Grimmer would be a decent addition - not pretty but pretty effective
May have different attributes to Small but think he could play at Championship level if Jones varies his formation.3 -
Roughan is one I thought we’d look at, only 21 and can play lcb in a back 3 or left back.7

Just a quick update on Roughan. He has rejected Lincoln's contract offer, and Lincoln had agreed a compensation package (due to his age) with an unnamed club; Roughan has declined to join that club and awaits further offers.AberystwythAddick said:Sean Roughan more realistic, I think he would be an excellent signing
I think he would be a fantastic signing. Only 21 and already has over 140 senior professional appearances, maybe more. Would really compliment us.
He's at the very least on Edwards and Gillespheys levels so will be competing for one of their spots, as will Famewo for Macca if we sign him. Suddenly we would have very strong left sided defence options which has been rare over the years.
Would be a very welcome addition, hopefully we will be interested as he really suits Jones style and has years on his side to improve.1 -

We can rule out Poku, Birmingham have offered him a big wage according to Barry Fry.1 -
RJJ would be perfect competition for TC2

Respectfully, a better option than Dixon at present and had a respectable season last season, on par with TC. Replaces the pace we just lost with Small so would be a massive yes from me.Scoham said:https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/sport/football/peterborough-united/ricky-jade-jones-has-held-talks-with-several-championship-clubs-and-is-kwame-poku-waiting-for-real-madrid-to-come-calling-5165638Ricky-Jade Jones has held talks with several Championship sides.

This may sound negative, but I am viewing it as sign all the cream of the crop league 1 and either stay up, or have a strong squad next season where we can bounce back.3 -
I know it's fun posting wild opinions... but GRIMMER? Really?
We are in the Championship now.
So let's set our sights higher.
I feel comfortable that Nathan and our recruitment team know whats needed.
(Been a long time since i felt that way).

A very difficult question to answer.Oh Eddie Youds... said:
Sean has done very well since we brought him over from Ireland at 16; as has been posted above, he has made almost 150 first team appearances which is unusually experienced for a 22-year-old. He has also picked up a dozen caps for the RoI U21s and is very comfortable in League One. No one would argue that he has earned a shot at the Championship.
He is in no way a wing-back because he is not quick enough.
He struggles at left-back against quick, tricky wingers - the lack of pace being the same problem.
However, his forte is as a left-sided centre-back, and that is why any club will sign him. As solid as they come.
He is remarkably consistent, a 7/10 every week. He finished third in this season's Supporters' Player Of The Season vote behind winner Tendayi Darikwa and second-placed captain Paudie O'Connor, who is also out of contract. Fancy a two-for-one deal?
He is solely left-footed, gets forward well and puts a lot of crosses into the box; some are good, many are not, and that is probably the crux: can anyone improve that final ball delivery? If they can, they have a winner on their hands.
Perhaps the most notable element of any transfer deal will be that Lincoln will place a significant sell-on fee into the contract, and that tells you that Sean Roughan is a player Lincoln believe can do very well at a higher level.
I would be very pleased to see Sean sign for Charlton, which is a good club with a good manager; Jim Rodwell is a Lincoln boy who was on City's books as a youngster. I am sure Charlton will look after him in the right way.
Sean could also make the wrong choice, and that makes this the most significant decision of his career.15 -
No. It's what people on here want us to do.cfgs said:
It is what we do.SoundAsa£ said:I can’t help noticing that we seem to be talking way too much about signing ex-players…..curious if you ask me.🤔
Today we've had Morgan, Aribo & Dougherty join the ever crowded bus that includes Djikstel, Famewo & Carson.
Its utter madness.8 -

Just seen that Swansea might be out of the running for Ethan Erhahon according to one of their board members on the subject of Lincoln.
Sounds like Lincoln are looking for in the region of 1 million and add ons, would love to be in for him, would go straight into our starting XI. Best player on the pitch when we lost at theirs last season 3-1, our midfield couldn't get near him.
Sorensen got all of the plaudits for his attacking work but it was Erhahon who dictated the game. Only 24 as well.

The reason is that it’s a forum for people to suggest signings rather than actual rumours and most of us (me included) are not clued up enough to know the qualities of most championship/ league one players , so they default to what they know . I think Famewo is a genuine rumour ( and I think he’s got the potential under Jones to be a Macca upgrade, or at least serious competition) but none of the others have any merit whatsoever .DennisBooth said:This forum is obsessed with former players.1 -
We don't need Grimmer. He's just a nasty piece of work.wolfgang said:
Grimmer is a good player, and his "ugliness" is exaggerated just because he blotted out Campbell - sour grapes. (And his surname does not help).DOUCHER said:Grimmer would be a decent addition - not pretty but pretty effective
But I think he is best in a back four. How often will we play that way?8 -
He's a great sprinter but forgets to take the ball with him. A lot of Posh fans don't rate himBraziliance said:

with the above chat we’re going to be Lincoln B team next year in the league above 😂2 -

It's the sign of 'we don't have any rumours' so we will discuss our former players instead. Failing that we will dicuss players who played against us because we have seen them play, probably the same posters who declared that Fraser was a 'statement of intent' and were wetting themselves over Ladapo. The next signings, haven't even been mentioned on here and I think that helps the players coming in, no pressure on a player that you know dick all about. Face it people, the 'In the knows' are no longer in the know.golfaddick said:

Our midfield couldn’t get near anyone that season. A bit like the time Fraser was made to look like Pirlo against us.Braziliance said:Just seen that Swansea might be out of the running for Ethan Erhahon according to one of their board members on the subject of Lincoln.

He’s also 31 with most of his experience being in L1. I don’t think there’s any chance we go for him.The Red Robin said:

Think you might find Dijksteel heading back across The North Sea to his favorite place on the coast.Scoham said:The problem I see with Dijksteel is at his age and with his experience he’d command a big wage, but he’s not the attacking WB we need and he wouldn’t come here to be expensive cover for Ramsay.
Very different to Carey who’s younger and this will be his first “big” contract. I doubt he’s on more than Berry, Dijksteel might want a wage that makes him one of our highest earners. Not convinced he’s worth that vs other options out there.0 -
Interesting that so many of the former players being discussed are guys that came (partially or fully) through our system.
I want to believe that anybody we sign, especially if their young age is mentioned as a positive, is markedly better than our own home grown.
It will have to be a very decent player indeed if we sign somebody who gets ahead of Zach Mitchell for example.2 -
