Wonder if the plan is to get Cotterill to step up to replace grimes?

Big ask, don't get me wrong, getting Cov to pay decent money for Grimes was like finding money in the street, but unfortunately I think the ship might have sailed for young Cotterill.

"Grimes-lite". Doesnt score or create ( tick) but yet breaks up attacks and sprays long balls... sounds like Grimes-plus if you ask me.

As long as he doesn't pass backwards all the time, and fear to be creative, then I'll be happy. Never had issue with Grimes passing. When on it, he was really good. Problem is he slowed play down and liked to pass backwards. Fulton fits into this as well minus the passing.

You may well be right, but I’d much rather an academy product playing the role that Fulton had last year than a ‘squad filler’ senior pro

 

[Swanseaborn]

Mateo Joseph probably leaving Leeds this summer. I know we’ve been linked with a loan before, wonder if we’d be sniffing around a permanent?

Would be a good signing

 

[Martyn - Derwydd]

Sounds like a decent midfield 3.

Who covers Erhahon(if he signs) as the holder if Fulton goes?
Who covers Franco and Widell?

Agree, wasnt saying we should stop at that. We clearly need one more central/defensive midfielder, maybe 2 if there's noone ready for the academy to be the 5th

So would i, but when did the last academy player make the step-up to senior level. Cullen probably

Yep him or Ollie probably, fingers crossed one or two kick on this season

Amen to that brother

They said at the fans forum that Wilson, Cotterill and Congreve will be looked at in pre season.

Perhaps they should take a more in-depth look at the academy set-up...

Wouldn't bother with Wilson yet, getting him a loan to another league club is the priority this summer.

His loan with Yeovil wasn't great and Bobby Wales signing has surely changed the plans for looking at him in pre season.

I like the way we are headed on the recruitment side, and i want you to see how it pans out.
Truth is a 29 yr old centre back or a young holding midfielder from the division below BOTH have the possibility of being hots or misses.
My zen is to trust the process and actually see them play.
That is the best source of info - no disrespect to guest bookers in Penlan or Plasmarl

They said the same about Dan James when he went to Shrewsbury- but raw pace can get you a 20 million transfef within 12 months of coming back. Best to take a look against the first teamers in pre season IMO
