Incoming? Chris Mempham

[bonobo]

Mepham would be an excellent signing. Would cost a fair bit for us though. Sounds like Anel is going but would imagine Mepham is £5m +

Last year of his contract, might be a bit cheaper than normal.

There must be two competent Champ level CBs who can play in a back 4 that are within our reach. We really don't need anything special, as we've got plenty of creativity further up the pitch and a goalkeeper who (if he stays fit) is by all accounts a very good shot stopper and worth a few points on his own. Souttar might be one, but Robinson should be back up at best (no matter how many crunching tackles he puts in).

There are 10 currently at Burnley. They can’t keep them all.

 

[Nick Jansky]

Who Davies gonna bunk with?

Shackleton

[Booker4]

As a replacement for Anel id assume and/or Trusty.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

We have a pulse!

 

[Booker4]

No mention of whether it's a loan or permanent?

 

[moody1889]

Underwhelming to say the least would rather us push for an up and coming defender than waste money this way.

The guys played 60 games in 5 seasons.

He’s only 26.

Would be a decent replacement for Trusty and then insurance if Anel goes later.

[NerdyBlade]

Is anyone else sick of there being the same 3 or 4 players that it's very clear Wilder likes so we're linked with them every window?

What does he actually bring to the team other than an extra body?

 

[HeySethUTB]

Are we slowly trying to build the Welsh international team?

 

[Booker4]

Forgot he's ex Brentford. We do love an Brentford centre back after Egan and O'Connel!

Before it was Ireland now it's Wales! Could be four if Brooks comes in. Not that there's been any rumours of Brooks coming.

 

[HeySethUTB]

Davies, RND, Mepham, Brooks and Moore. Just imagine.

I'd take that but no rumours at all on Brooks sadly. Maybe we'll sign a winger today but not confident based on lack of rumours.

Our expansive scouting network strikes again

 

[HeySethUTB]

I reckon the new owners have made ITKs shut shop. The only leaked information we seem to have got is outgoings, but that’s coming from the clubs interested.

It’ll be a weird change, because we’ve effectively relied on twitter merchants that are getting info straight from the Prince, that’s led to a culture inside the club that’s really hungry for attention hence all the leaks.

With Des on board it seems also anyone who plays for Bournemouth is given a boost too!

 

[MayorOJC]

Not sure he'd be a great partner for Souttar, there's not much pace between them at all

 

[finlaytheblade]

Actually Alan knill has been part of the Welsh set up so maybe it's down to him .

 

[Torrix1889]

Not happening, or any other incomings for that matter....Wit & Hal, (and probably Rifleman) said so........

 

[Railway Blade]

I cant imagine Mepham is much slower than Robbo.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

This one's felt inevitable. Uninspiring. Dunne would be much better

 

[BigBed]

Can't be any worse than Trusty and we need a replacement.
Good signing for me, remember the players we've had in the past that weren't "good enuf"! Fleck is a prime example.

 

[Railway Blade]

Isn't Mepham right footed ? and Wilder doesn't normally want to play a right footer as the left sided centre half.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Is Mepham aggressive? Is he a leader? Can he be relied on to play every game?

If not then we shouldn't be signing him

This is also an indicator that Wilder is wedded to a back 4 because he wouldn't much suit a 3 unless playing the middle role, and that would clearly be Souttar's

 

[sufc95]

Going to Sunderland , let’s hope we have someone better lined up then
