[DifferentClass]

[Eric_Brooks]

What kind of name's Ned FFS?

Hopefully he has the Palace lad on his books too.

If we had stuck a confirmed to be confirmed earlier he wouldn't have this issue

 

[S64 Blade]

Great signing!

 

[Blademan89]

Hopefully he has the Palace lad on his books too.

Well if you look on his twitter, it looks like this is his only player. Either that or he weird unhealthy obsession with him.

 

[SUFC Guy]

Quality signing

How many more players do we need now?

Sorry Roygbiv ur gonna have to be quicker at posting ur own stuff

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Great signing this, lots of potential. Feels a bit McAtee like, in terms of how he could really grow into mens football and grow in influence, importance.

Now, GK, winger and striker please!!! GK before the weekend, specifically.

 

[Slim Man]

One for anyone who has suggested he's even remotely capable at RWB

"Gilchrist ain’t no RB. Except they want him to form a back 3 then if not, forget any attacking output. He’s a proper CB"

We can probably get away with RB at this level

 

[ancientblade]

Keeper?

yes of course must be an age thing mind know its not likely to happen but i think we need 2 keepers davies and grbic are 3rd and 4th choices at best for me although saying grbic is 4th choice flatters him hes garbage thought he would have been long gone by now

yes he is a centre back but i think hes certainly good enough to play right back at this level in a back 4 he has played there for chelsea

I’d heard there’d be three coming in this week, one of which would be a keeper. I didn’t ask about the others.

 

[brownblade]

Great.

I won't be shocked (or disappointed) if Gilchrist and Souttar are our first choice CB pairing.

 

[Slim Man]

Great.

Nice to have a couple of defenders who can defend to counteract the 3 we have that can't

First?

 

[SE1Blade]

Great.

We’d be mad not to go 3-5-2 with the players we have now.

KEEPER

So pathetic defensively last season. Even happy clappers like me will find it hard to keep clapping them patiently. I'd much rather see a new back 4 to be honest.

JLT to come on and clatter people for a laugh when we're losing.

Anel to the highest bidder. No redemption arc, just cash, please.

 

[brownblade]

Maybe as it stands, but we must be trying to buy at least 2 new wingers/strikers (if not 4 or 5).

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Thank fuck Grbic wasn't passed the phone.

 

[Davalon]

Whilst I agree that at face value Souttar and Gilchrist don't seem to perfectly fit the new shape that we seem to be following, common sense surely dictates that the players and their clubs are happy with the pitch that Wilder and the club have made in terms of their progress and development.

Personally, I'm happy with both

This is now key to our season

Think so too. Such an important position. Good that Davies has had game time in friendlies but should really be reserve to a solid keeper
