Player Suggestion Souttar played and scored last night

[Booker4]

The star article that gets on my nerves is the one that seems to come out almost every other day along the lines of Wilder sets out transfer blueprint" from an interview he did over a month ago. It would be better to not have any article than that!

 

[SUFC Guy]

The Star really is poor and never reveals anything of note. It's time they forgot about football rumours completely.

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Souttar played 90 mins vs Mexico. Australia lost 1 nil. Was a pretty scrappy game interrupted by stupid drinks breaks (was only 18 degrees n LA?!) and 20 substitutions in second half.

Souttar played well. Bombed forward and put in a few lovely crosses and had a scrap with a 5 foot nothing Mexican player which was funny seeing him front up to Souttar. He'll definitely be in the squad.

With 2 years on his contract left - Leicester will want circa £5 million for him if he’s now got……… move along for us I’m afraid!!

Yes they are in such a strong financial position that they can demand high fees for players with sky high wages

 

[Kenilworth]

Sounds like it’s ripe for a loan with a view to buy clause. Less risk on our part, Leicester reduce their current financial burden, player gets a chance at a club in a higher division that he has had a good successful spell at before, working with people that believe in him and know what he can do when fit.
There’s plenty of upsides to balance the risk on this one.


Plus, he’s not McGuttless

I’d love him back if the deal works and provided he’s fit enough. Some sort of cash plus McGuinness would be ideal too

 

[Derek1889]

Heard hes wilder main target. Obviously Im not itk before anyone says anything lol

A loan to buy deal would be the smart move. I'd be worried if we dived in and bought him outright first even though he appears to back playing 90 mins of football.

 

[LurkerBlade]

My only question on this signing is that neither he nor Tanganga seem to be able to play on the left.

Anel and Bindon played on the left with them if I remember rightly?

 

[Balham]

We all know how this will end. Our best hope is a swap deal for McGuinness.

[Weasel]

He would be my number 1 target this summer. He looks to have recovered well, and he would make us so much better at the back again. Hes genuinely worth the punt.

 

[elgoog44]

the issue is with this one who do we have that can play on the left?

Also would need to be athletic as well, Souttar is immense but pace is not something he is blessed with.

 

[ancientblade]

i think souttar phillips and walker are our top 3 targets this summer wilder has alluded to the fact he wants more experience in the squad of late add another 3 younger signings to the squad as well as those 3 and think weve a great chance of a top 6 finish

 

[mattbianco1]

i think souttar phillips and walker are our top 3 targets this summer

It's certainly a strong spine if they are all fit and firing. Assuming Hamer and Peck are sold:

COOPER
WALKER - SOUTTAR - LCB
SERIKI - PHILLIPS - CM - BURROWS
BROOKS - O'HARE
BAMFORD
​

The spot next to Phillips needs to be an athletic player capabale of the box-to-box role.

If we are going 3 at the back then I wouldn't be against Hjelde coming in as first choice LCB. Just trying to thing of other decent left-footed CB's - Jacob Greaves, Cameron Burgess, Matt Clarke, Aaron Cresswell (old), Callum Doyle, Eiran Cashin - there's not a massive pool of talent out there

 

[Matlock Blade]

I really hope we sign him. He's a very good player. There's nothing to lose even if he gets another injury.... Wilder likes signing injured players, hence his determination to sign Calvin Philips. If we don't sign Soutar we'll just sign another injury prone player instead.

im pretty sure wilder sees walker as rcb in a back 3 who can also slot in at rb if we switch to a back 4

Contact at Leicester reckons he’s coming for £3m this window. Just waiting on my source to give more background. He messaged me this morning out of the blue that it’s happening.

Wonder who's going out first to get us that £3m?

 

[LBA_Blade]

Wonder who's going out first to get us that £3m?

If a like for like swap in terms of wages and then fees probably favours Gus for £3mill, I would like to think we would get more for Peck than that.

 

[Blade58]

Wonder who's going out first to get us that £3m?

Could it be Nils?
Obviously Hamer is on the out list due to final 12 month of contract

Then of course there’s always the absolute slimmest of slim chances that these owners do happen to land some investment?

 

[ancientblade]

would be a great signing for 3m and still think walker souttar and phillips are wilders top 3 targets this summer

 

[Matlock Blade]

Need a striker as well. As we are going for the oldies, how about giving Brian Deane another chance?

Souttar is 27

 

[Sid1978]

Souttar is 27

Don’t come on here with your fancy facts.

 

[SUFC Guy]

If Souttar has a good world cup I can see him getting a better move. If we are serious, it should already be tied up.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Souttar is 27

Don’t come on here with your fancy facts.

Reminded me of this

 

[Matlock Blade]

Souttar isn't old, isn't famous, and most importantly hasn't played for Leeds. Obviously a false rumour.
