Possible summer targets

[stringer]

You can only say it's irrelevant if you know Chelsea would've loaned us Blackman without knowing he'd start as first choice.

Which I do. But I'm no 'well-known expert', so hey ho

Do you really? Maybe expand on that then?

If you think it was wrong to assume someone wouldn't loan us a keeper if he wasn't likely to start, it's funny that you didn't say anything at the time isn't it? But hindsight people never do.

This is the first time I've seen this thread, tiger. And yes I do, really.

Of course you do.

And of course you would've said something at the time, 'if you saw it'.

Hindsight people like to read back old threads from the start, so why not. Regardless, you wouldn't have said anything and you know it.

You can claim you know all you like, it's pretty worthless if you can't say a single thing to back it up. So why not give details? Or will the world end if you do?

Fact is Chelsea only loaned us Blackman when it was obvious he'd be starting.

It's also logical to think a club in their situation would hang on until they have a suitor who will offer regular first team football.

What do you have to back up this ‘fact’ Richard?

Moore got injured on 22 July.

Blackman signed on 27 July.

Happy to help.

You're the one mocking my initial post. You're the one making the claim. So you back it up. Or at least make a token effort.

Moore was injured on 21 July but semantics aside, how exactly does that prove that Chelsea were only happy to send him once they knew he’d be No.1? IE that he wouldn’t have been here if Moore wasn’t injured?

 

[blademark]

These Danny04 spats are a bit tiresome now tbh, and usually deflect from what we really want to talk/read about !

You're not actually quoting me there are you. Because I haven't claimed that as fact. Semantics, eh.

My only fact is a proven fact. We signed him after Moore was injured.

Your fact is something we simply have to take your word for.

There’s an ignore function Mark.

"when it was obvious he'd be starting"

"were only happy to send him once they knew"


It was obvious to us. I'm sure they knew too. I suggest that influenced their decision.

‘Fact’ was a bit strong then?

 

[Fanny magnet]

Please stop

Sure. I suppose Wilder could've signed a new keeper only to play an untested kid (Eastwood) ahead of him on our return to the Championship.



OK, that's it now. Sorry to anyone bored to tears reading this. I always avoid this kind of shite when I can.

Apart from when you go looking for it.

Thanks for the hindsight like Danny04

That post was a whole 4 months before Moore got injured and opened up the possibility of loaning a keeper.

Woods is a bit pricey, the Leonard ship might have sailed and Lenihan might be a shout for January. Long way between now and then, though; Lundstram could be the new Bladey Blade hero. Nearly a third of 900+ votes on a Twitter poll yesterday think he’s the man.

I would prefer you just wrote something constructive/entertaining/informative ? Too much to ask?

How many options were there? Did Carruthers and Basham also get a third each?l out of interest

 

[sheffielder]

Just for the record and I had to double check but Blackman was joining Bolton before Moore got injured

Like the post above yours?

How many options were there? Did Carruthers and Basham also get a third each?l out of interest

Options were Lundstram, Brooks, Carruthers and new CM/Whiteman (only have four options on Twitter). Lundstram 30%, Whiteman/new CM 32%, Carruthers 23%, Brooks 15%. 974 votes at time of writing.

United were in for him before Moore got injured, which both flies in the face of the OP’s assertion that it won’t be a PL ‘keeper and confirms Chris Wilder’s stance on the goalkeeping matter. No guarantees sought or offered that Blackman would/will play. Moore’s injury merely sped up the process.

 

[Berlin Blade]

Can't be arsed with all the bickering about such a petty topic. One of you might be right one and of you might be wrong but the world changes very little when we reveal who's who. I personally doubt Wilder would offer guarantees to anyone in the squad, let alone a loan. He'd probably debunk that theory in milliseconds if asked.. I might be wrong though.

I'd be happy with one good midfield signing to replace Coutts and bringing Whiteman back as cover, not because I don't have faith in Lundstram, I just think we'd be VERY short there if Fleck, Lundstram or Basham picked up an injury.

 

[Lowen]

Suggestions for the impossible task of replacing Coutts in Jan; (loans)
Ashley Westwood
Sam Field - suggested before think its a good shout
Adam Clayton - oddly found himself below Leadbitter, Howson and Forshaw in Boro's midfield pecking order, if it continues a loan move could be on the cards.

Clayton would be great, so would Forshaw. But there's no way Boro will loan anyone to us.

I thought about Westwood for the January targets thread but he's still in and around Burnley's first team.
