Summer Transfer Window

[magicdaps10]

Let’s develop another teams youngster instead of giving ours a go, hopefully he won’t be another Mr Burns or Rhys Williams.

It's a signing that makes sense. He can cover CB and RB, he will likely get minutes early on until Cabango and Santos comes back and then it's up to him to be patient and work hard likely as a sub.

 

[Nice to Michu]

Thought you said CB permanent and a CB who can cover full back as a loan?

This WHU kid seems to be a centre half. It's a body through the door and a defender so can't turn our noses up to it.

Edited-He can cover RB aswell so looks like you were spot on. I would expect a LB cover in and that would be us done defensively.

He is primarily a cb but can cover full back too. Montague can’t be blamed for trying with Kone. Wycombe seem to be trying to get a bidding war going

Swans fans - "We need to sign defensive cover!"

The Swans - *Signs defensive cover*

Swans fans - "Not like that!"

Mildly amusing observation.

In reality, anyone who was there today saw with their own eyes that Parker was not up to the level required.

So our answer is let's sign another kid who almost certainly isn't up to the level required.

Or on the off chance he might be, West Ham will recall him in January and sell him to Ipswich or Southampton.

Based on what? I'd never heard of him before this. I'd be surprised if you had.

At this stage I'll take a gamble. It's might be better than we have at moment in youth set up. Parker was shocking. We can argue all about our academy another time, let's get someone in who might be able to fill the Cabango gap.

Got feeling that boat has sailed with Kone. Sounds like bigger clubs have come in and bidding like mad. Oh well we move on.

Parker was played out of his natural position. Grossly unfair to judge a youngster on that.

What position do you think he should be playing?

I thought his position is Centre Half?

We don't need cover at RB, we need a RB as the incumbent is rubbish.

Move on to where? The Kone signing seemed to be a big gamble, which might mean that the next option is an even bigger gamble.

He's a centre back who played centre back yesterday.
