reluctantnicko just tweeted that we’re in for him

 

[WYEDP]

WYEDP ??????????????????????

 

[ThroughThinAndThinner]

Before Jags, maybe.

 

[McGrath]

So why don't QPR want him?

 

[TomTheBlade1889]

So why don't QPR want him?

He's shite.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

So we're doing the complete opposite of what Wilder said he was after.

Smashing.

 

[Boxer Blade]

I think we should wait before finding fault with wilder /club

 

[Reedy1889]

Hardly going to break the bank is he, and boosts the squad numbers aswell as provides cover for 'OConnell.

Suspect it'd be a trial first.

 

[bromtom]

Nixon knows agents doesn't he, not people in clubs.

I'm calling bollocks. 31 year old average player with little to no top end Championship experience nevermind top flight experience.

Nah m8

 

[Akinbiyi]

Honestly this would be bad. He is shite.

 

[Davalon]

Jesus.

 

[Jesus_was_a_Blade]

Jesus.

Yes?

 

[Russ]

The Lynch Mob are approaching.

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

Egan, JOC, Bash, Jags, Stearman, can't see us going for another

 

[JackSUFC]

If Alan Nixon said it, it’s not true.

 

[derryblade]

He has loads of tats could be true

 

[Rodley]

WYEDP ??????????????????????

It’s WUEDP.

It’s a “U” FFS.

This might not seem an exciting signing, but experienced left footed centre halves, who are available, wont cost a lot and can provide back up in our system are at a premium. Maybe one of those players who only manages a couple of games a season, but with a run of injuries and suspensions, could be needed. Right now, we have no reserve for the left half of our team, apart from Bryan.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Meh - I’d rather have kept cranie to be honest

That said he’s been released hasn’t he? Maybe he’s just training with us as he knows freeman?

 

[AdamSufc1997]

No way will we sign him if we have just signed Jags

 

[JonnyRed(WCFC)]

Been around a bit...bog standard championship quality at best, if the Blades end up dropping back down to the Championship next year I still wouldnt fancy him then.

 

[Bergen Blade]

No way will we sign him if we have just signed Jags

I agree a move for Lynch would be surprising, but as he's left footed he would be backup/competition for O'Connell and Kean Bryan, not Jags/Egan/Bash/Stearman.

You mean a back up back up?

 

[Akinbiyi]

Going to Portugal with us. Hopefully we leave him there.

 

[Ricky]

So this would purely be for backup at LCB.

Which means we're unlikely to sign a proper left wing back and will just go with Freeman as cover, and maybe Osborn if he signs.

But signing Lynch is hardly better than signing no one. No sort of competition for JOC, and if JOC got injured we'd probably stick Stevens there anyway.

Is Kean Bryan that bad?

 

[bromtom]

Might be this season's Luke Steele.

 

[robbiez666]

We're shopping in the 99p shop if with sign Lynch. Bloody Hell.

 

[Bergen Blade]

Not seen him enough to comment myself, but some general comments:

O'Connell will be our first choice at LCB. We've tried adding an inexperienced young player to be cover, but for whatever reasons, Kean Bryan hasn't managed to become even that. I still doubt Wilder will prioritise competition for O'Connell, so again we're looking at a reasonable backup/cover. Maybe an experienced guy is worth a look.

Reading about him, positives include:

• Being comfortable in possession, good on the ball
• Quick
• Has played left back in the past
• Physically strong
• Good in the air

We've used Stevens at LCB a couple of times and he did fine. But we've got no cover for him in his main position at the moment. And with the way the squad is looking, we may be struggling for height, especially if we move Stevens to LCB.

Let's not write Lynch off at this stage.

 

[Ricky]

Would much rather just spend a bit on Kristian Pedersen and cover both those positions perfectly.
