Incoming? Players

[Niceguyeddie]

Not suggesting it will happen but would not be shocked if Moose was going on loan to France or even sold

I don't think national teams can loan players

 

[Snowflake]

No need to apologise but you were so specific it made me wonder.

Also a good friend of mine, and a blade, lives in the Faroes.

My father served there in WWII so I'm hoping to make a sentimental journey there next year.

Enjoy your trip.
I will look pretty silly if we sign a Maltese striker !

I don't recall it happening when we were sponsored by the Malta Tourist Board, so I don't imagine it would happen now

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Maybe, but I think we have an A+ management team, which puts us in rare company even at this level. That compensates for a lot, even if our budget is more "see me after class".

Honestly, I would back Wilder & co to finish above half of the managers in this league, on a 10th of their budgets.

You can stretch an elastic band so far before it snaps.

 

[Chief_Froley]

Hello there. I'm Mr Htims and I come from some place far away

I'm wondering if anybody has any information on these transfers? I would like to ideally know how much these transfers are for and how much these players are being paid so I can send my congratulations to Mr Wilder on his activity. From one real person to another...

 

[BrisBlade]

What I'm getting at is that if Norwood is injured, Berge moves to the middle, but if Lunny's suspended who's gonna play RCM? You may think that its unlikely but I think we need two for every position, that's all i'm saying mate.

Possibly Rodwell goes into holding centre mid and Berge starts on the right. More concerned about cover for Bash and Baldock, but it sounds like we have a plan, so not getting jittery.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

This is why CW shouldn’t give interviews like that.
Loads of OTT suggestions and then when 3 come in this week folks on here will be disappointed and moan about it.

We know with a good degree of certainty that Burke is going to one, so that leaves 2 both of which could be the backup fullbacks which aren’t going to excite anyone.
Queue meltdown on Wednesday.

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

I'm 70.

In the 50s, rationing was a recent memory (52, 53 did it end?) and we didn't all live in a Manor House, Mr Wayne

To my parents, an orange was total luxury for many years.

Rationing ended in 1954.

Bob totally agree, but what is so fantastic about Wilder is he was asked questions and he gave a truthful answer.

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Did it? Wow. Didn't realise it was that far into the decade.

Cheers

Many items were rationed, but the list got smaller year by year. I can`t remember the last item to be freed in 1954, but I remember seeing a banana for the first time.

 

[Upton_Blade]

My guess would be ...

In
Oliver Burke - Swap
Rhian Brewster - Loan
Joe Rodon - Permanant
Clarke Odour - Permanant

Out
Callum Robinson - Swap
Michael Verrips - Loan

I like Callum Robinson so would like to have seen him stay, either way CWAK knows best!!

Would love Rodon at The Lane and, as McB's best mate, we'd probably be in a good position to maximise our appeal to him but I just don't see us paying the fee they would want for someone who isn't going to go straight into the team as a certain starter.

Bash has got the shirt at RCB and, barring injury, I can't see him losing it this season so my post on another thread still stands in that anyone brought in to push the current incumbent in a certain position will be in the £6-10m bracket at most.

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Rationing ended in 1954.

Not in the Bramall Lane accounts department it didn't (apparently)

 

[ThatJa]

Without seeing it, are you sure it wasn’t just Wakanda Forever he was demonstrating?

It was.

 

[Latters]

I don't recall it happening when we were sponsored by the Malta Tourist Board, so I don't imagine it would happen now

* cough * Daniel Bogdanovic * cough *

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

Very important to make sure we manage to get lunny to sign a new contract a fully fit lunny and we won’t find a better back up to push berge him

Also never understood why he couldn’t be used as back up to baldock

Could easily do what Osborne does In covering both positions on the right hand side

Lunny has all the attributes to be quality wing-back if needed IMO

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

* cough * Daniel Bogdanovic * cough *

Dry cough? I should get a test

Yes I'd forgotten him, thank you.

I stand corrected

Isn't the first time, won't be the last

 

[Jan Age]

If we swap Robinson for Burke and bring in 2 backup WB after losing Freeman then IMO the squad is weaker so fans will be right to moan especially if 2 strikers don’t come in until after the first few games of the season.

 

[Le Cynique]

But we are in with the mesters now, gambles and cheap bargains will eventually catch you out.

That’s why we have a good mix of expensive marquee signings (Rambo, Oli McB, Berge) and cheaper ‘bargains’ and ‘gambles’ (Osborn, Jack Robinson). Seemed to work pretty well so far.

I like the way Htims thinks!

 

[metalblade]

That hilarious joke has already been done about half a dozen times in this thread

I wasn't joking soft lad.

 

[bertieblade]

It appears John lundstram is being referred to by Wilder as a player who will be with us for the new season, can only assume that he is on the verge of signing a new contract as CW says he does not want anyone else to compete with the midfield six and quotes :—-

Fleck / Osborn
Sander / Norwood
lundstram / rodwell

With Basham being able to step in there if required

 

[California Blade]

So in summary a RWB, LWB, CB and two CF's.... Sit tight blades, possibly 3 of these Monday or Tuesday!!

And several are "internationals"!

 

[robbiez666]

[Champagneblade]

Slightly disappointed by this, on the face of it. Improving creativity and ball retention in the middle third of the pitch looked like priorities to me, this window.

But several weeks left. And we don’t know who these 5 are, yet. Fingers crossed.

Maybe he's counting Rodwell as a midfield option?

You have L to R:
Fleck (Osborn), Norwood (Rodwell), Berge (Lundstram)

Granted if Norwood is out then every chance Lunny comes in on the right and Berge drops back if Norwood is out.

Decent blend of athleticism and experience there.

Maybe he isn't encouraged by the Swift pursuit anymore and is finding it easier to get reenforcements elsewhere if he pushes Rodwell to covering midfield?

 

[Grizzly blade]

Maybe decided to look at Swift again just before the window closes, or perhaps January.
If Swift is wanting to go, he can go through the motions there and basically force a sale while preparing for the move north.

Pity, he’s a good player who would add a bit of creativity into the group and give us a different tactical option. But with Reading apparently losing a lot of money their resolve to hang onto players can’t last while there’s a risk of them falling foul of FFP

 

[FriethBlade]

If 2 are internationals I'd put big money on one of them coming from Swansea

He is.

Part of me thinks that this no need for a midfielder point is a misdirection after growing frustrated over leaks, but I think it’s wishful thinking on my part.

Has anyone ever seen the Reading owner and Chancer in the same room? Just asking ..........
