Incoming? Kevin Long

[Patrick Suffaux]

Mentioned by Andy Giddings in an interview with Wilder today. Don't know what his source is but it would be a good signing if true. 25 years old, centre half, been at Burnley for some years with a few loan spells. Looked decent when I've watched him. Think he even played in the PL briefly.

Surprised not to see his name in the forum rumour mill so just keeping things up to date

Someone just said someone called hussey but not heard the name before! No idea

He would appear to be a very good potential signing.

I think he might've been mentioned when Adkins was still here.

 

[Bladezz]

Ball playing centre half, would be good as a right side centre half for us. Strong competition for his signing would be difficult with championship sides interesting.

 

[Slim Man]

If we were to start the season with him and Tafazolli I'd be happy. Gives us that right/left balance and 2 primarily good defenders.

Can't see it though, this seems to have come out of nowhere.

Went onto Twitter today and searched the usual SUFC hashtag.

Came up with this that he's on loan to us? I know wiki means nothing but as this title says Giddings did say we were interested a while ago.

Barnsley were rumoured to be interested over the weekend, Alfie Mawson is subject of serious interest from Bristol City.

He's been mentioned on other CB threads.....'Alternatives, McFadz' etc....would be a great signing, Coventry in for him apparently:

Somethings got to happen soon with ins and outs or we're screwed for another season. God I hate the last few weeks to the start of the season, so frustrating.

Like to see a couple of new signings tomorrow night, after all we should have seen 2 (source Wilder) vs Grimsby. If he's gonna keep promising jam tommora he needs to start delivering.

Looks like he had a decent game for Coventry last time out

 

[Ricky]

That article says he's left footed, but I have obtained definitive proof that he's right footed.

So that makes him a more likely target.

Would possibly be a season LONG loan... I'd take that.

Two Longs don't make a Wright.

He didn't promise anything. It's the fans' fallacy.

Wilder said we'd got bids in for 2 players. Looks like they have been turned down. No need for drama.

 

[FriethBlade]

No need for drama but looking increasingly likely we will start the season without the dominating centre half and centre forward Wilder wanted. We've made some decent signings but Macfadzean got away meaning Wilson who was signed as back up will start and Sharp won't have a big man to play off unless DCL is the big man

Oh yes there is!
