Player Suggestion Romaine Sawyers

[Bladeinleeds]

At that price it would be a decent shout too add to the squad.

 

[Original United]

Oh great, wait for another invasion of dickheads from Brentford - Thanks a fucking bunch!

 

[Ricky]

It's great value and tempting. Would be a good one to go back down with, at least. But I think a move to WBA or Leeds would be more suitable for him.

 

[raul]

Quick, nip in with a cheeky 3.5 whilst they're busy on Baggy boards telling them how good they are.

 

[bonnet de douche]

Wouldn't come to be on the bench ..at best ..it's a non starter

 

[Mouth of the South]

Even though he's played in a deeper role of late, the Duffy issue explains the supposed interest in Sawyers.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Would love this.

 

[Ricky]

If Duffy's possible departure is not because he's surplus, then moving for Sawyers would make more sense. But I still don't think there's space for him. Even more so given the additional £3m expense.

 

[Seth Rollins]

Only if we get a deal done quick. Cant do with that Brentford lot coming on here again saying NO BIDS!!

 

[CaptainMorgans]

I'm very much for this signing, think he's a fabulous player & seen him do some outrageous things. I watched a Brentford game last season where he completely ran the show (possibly Leeds) and played a less disciplined version of Norwood's role more than Duffy's.

At £3-4m Sawyers comes in, competes with Norwood & improves the squad. There is no guarantee that Norwood will be up to the required standard & our back up isn't strong. Lundstram is young and has potential but he needs to go out on loan and get regular games in the Championship to improve.

Still think we need a ball winner in there too for trickier ties. Leroy Fer would be that man if we can do it. Sadly, I think we've left that one too late.

 

[tomtheblade]

Come on Brentford.

Lettuce 'ave him.


(I'll get my coat)

 

[Le Cynique]

He sounds like a top bloke as well as a good footballer. Likes to give back to community, mentor kids and he's part of Kick It Out. Inspirational, really, and exactly the kind of character I'd imagine Tufty would want in the team

 

[tomtheblade]

Vote Romaine

(Ok ok, yes I know)

 

[Berlin Blade]

He played a full game for Brentford on Saturday. And played well.

Brentford have today turned down 14m for Mepham (another player who put in 90 minutes on Saturday).

Do you really.... honestly... think we have any chance of bidding enough for him? Really?

I reckon we are yes

 

[Houso]

I reckon we are yes

I mean, fair enough it's weird, pulling that post from around a year ago, but you may well be right...

 

[Boxer Blade]

Vote Romaine

(Ok ok, yes I know)

How many coats have got?

 

[tomtheblade]

How many coats have got?

 

[Boxer Blade]

Not enough I think, we'll see

 

[Niceguyeddie]

Seems a long time since I clicked onto a thread that had some relevant information in it regarding the thread title

By the same logic but multiply the cost, just hypothetically, if we were to sign McBurnie, does anyone imagine our two most costly acquisitions, Moose and Oli, would have come to sit on the bench? The question is of course rhetorical and the answer obvious.

Where would that leave the skipper? It wouldn’t bother me in the slightest, but what about the Bladey hordes who put their favourite player ahead of the club they claim to support?

Why do you find it hard to comprehend that some people feel Sharp should be a key player next season based on ability alone and regardless of who he supports?

I share that view. A key role but not a regular starter. I’ve said that several times now. What do you think of the hypothesis? There’d be knees-a-jerkin don’t you think?

You're fantasising again.
Idioty idiotness.

 

[wizadry]

That seems like a very good piece of business and an astute signing for WBA.

 

[KoppedOff]

I’m a massive fan of Sawyers and would have loved to get him. I understand the opinion that we need a different type right now and peoples preference for Fer, but deary me, £3m is an absolute steal. That could well be West Broms “Norwood signing”.

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

Excellent piece of business by the Baggies there.

Very dissapointed.

 

[Antonb]

With fer also going somewhere else. It seems se have been too slow to address midfield

 

[Luke1993]

Both fer and sawyers are just a poor man's John Lundstram
