May as well go and get BBD too.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

We have our first choice rb. It's hard to find an championship right back sub that I can imagine fans getting excited about

Would you like a mostly injured Darragh Lenihan as well?

I think a bog standard RB back up is fine and I hold no strong opinion on rumours. All I want is someone who can do a job when called upon. Nothing exciting. We have young uns who might be able to do a job too.

 

[Danetheblade]

The definition of useless. No clue why we’d even waste a penny on him.

A dustpan and brush would be a better choice (and it’d cost less).

If the owners came out with that he’d be all over it.

 

[Blades1971]

Please God no

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Coleman would an actually be a better back up than Clarke.

Deary me.

No but we might find one that we dont already know is garbage!! Plus wages, he won't be on back up money

 

[CPB]

Given he will cost a fee. Id rather we explore a back up from a potential in lower leagues.

Or how is sachdev doing?

 

[Ginger Gnome]

Curtis and the theoretical existence of Shackleton are better than Clarke.

 

[Bramhall Lane blade]

Curtis possibly

Like Sam Curtis for example?
I think we'd be quite happy with that sort of signing as a back up right back if he wasn't already ours, given how well he did at Chesterfield last season.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

He is exceptionally useless

A total waste of a shirt

A nothing player. As in, good at nothing

I don't know why he's still kicking around at championship level

 

[Bookers Mullet]

Likes an Ale, good solid name. Definitely a replacement for Seriki

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Please, no.

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Why did we pay a million for Sam Curtis is we don’t rate him as a back up

 

[Houso]

A million? We paid a nominal 6 figure compensation fee.

It’d be a waste of Curtis’ development for him to sit on the bench, he’d be best used with a League One loan.

And the state of our club/ squad/ expectations means a youngster should not be inserted into the first team unless were highly confident.

 

[KMC-1889]

Seriously. What the fuck are we doing.

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Seriously. What the fuck are we doing.

Preparing for a long old season

 

[Silent Blade]

Seriously. What the fuck are we doing.

Do you believe every transfer rumour from clickbait sources?

 

[Bladeloyal]

Do you believe every transfer rumour from clickbait sources?

Many do ,strange

 

[Booker4]

Seriously. What the fuck are we doing.

Have you not thought this us likely to just be lazy journalism based on that he used to play for us?

I am sure his first game on loan, was at home V Portsmouth. He was absolutely rinsed, time and again by their left winger - Josh Murphy. He beat him about 63 times. They could have been 4 up before we scored. Up there with John Ebbrell as one of the worst debuts I've seen at the Lane.

His debut was at Derby and he looked OK.

 

[Blacksea]

All the battling for 8th teams seem dead keen on this guy

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Keep checking Bristol City twitter feed hoping they've signed him.

Sam Curtis has been out on loan 3 times - League One, League Two and Scottish Prem.

It begs the question to me that, by now, we should know whether or not he's capable of stepping up to the Championship, even as a back up who might make 15/20 appearances a season.

His contract's up at the end of the season and if we don't rate him, we might as well try and get a small fee for him and get him off the books. If there's someone in League One that we might be after, use him as a makeweight.

Harry Clarke and an errant offside flag are the reason we got lumbered with Selles last season.
